Chapter 741 Archmage: Why Is It so Difficult to Operate on Mice? ! (Updated 10,000 Words and Reached 23)

When it came to doing the experiment, only Gretel had to do it himself. He made the mice lie prone on the experimental table, restrained them with a tranquilizer technique, raised the front chest, and prepared the skin, disinfected, and draped the surgical area;

First use [Detection Magic] to take a photo to find the exact position of the spine and ribs, and then start operating under the guidance of [Detection Magic];

Make a 1 cm vertical incision on the right side of the posterior midline, about 3 cm long, and carefully incise the skin. Cut and throw healing spells at the same time to minimize bleeding. Good guy, the skin of rats is too thin. Fortunately, he has experience in cutting rats...

After cutting the skin, use the mage's hand to turn into a retractor to pull it open, and then cut through the subcutaneous tissue. The 8th to 13th ribs are exposed, and the periosteum is carefully peeled off to prevent the periosteum with rich blood supply from being damaged and causing massive bleeding during the subsequent operation.

Next is the most critical step. Use extremely thin steel wire - stainless steel made by the dwarves, pulled into steel wire by the transformation magician - wrap around the ribs and tighten...

"What are you doing?"

Archmage Morton couldn't help but take a step forward. Gretel didn't even raise his head. He pointed with his hand and used [Mage's Trick] to draw a bright yellow dividing line 30 centimeters away from the experimental table:

"Please keep your distance from the viewing platform, thank you. I am making an animal model. Why do I do this? O'Neakin, please show it to the Archmage -"

Anyway, there is no need for instruments and nurses handing over knives and scissors. Onejin has nothing to do, so he can go dance for the Archmage!

The dark gold skeleton came over in response. In front of the Archmage, he tilted to the right and leaned forward, pinching two ribs with one hand and two more ribs with the other hand. Twisting his spine into a three-dimensional S shape.

"So that's it..."

The Archmage stared at the skeleton, thoughtfully. So in this way, by compressing and fixing the bones, can animals with artificial scoliosis be artificially created?

On the other side of the experimental table, Gretel used his mage's hand to pull the wire and try to tighten it. Well, spectators should develop the habit of viewing the stage and abide by the rules of aseptic operation. If you really want to see clearly, you can use the secret eye!

Crunch, crunch!

Well, under X-ray or [Detection Magic], the mouse's spine is slightly crooked.

Crunch, crunch!

Very good, a little crooked again. But it’s not enough, we need to work harder!

Bang!

"What's the matter, Mage Nordmark?"

Grete looked up at him with a grimace. I accidentally broke the rat's ribs...

The bones of the mouse are so brittle and tender that they cannot withstand too much strength!

Grete sighed and set the mouse's bones, straightened the ribs, cast healing spells to heal them, and then wrapped them around again. Crunch, crunch, crunch...

ah! Oops, it hit my lungs!

Gretel was in a hurry to save the rat. The treatment was thrown away and the lungs healed, but the blood pouring out of the lungs obviously caused the rat to suffocate. And Gretel's ability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on rats, cough...

"Mage Nordmark, may I help you?"

"Give me another one T_T..."

This time, Gretel was more skilled in the operation, and without rupturing his lungs, he successfully wound up one set of steel wires and another set of steel wires. Then, he looked left and right, and measured the angle of the spinal curvature:

"..."

Not enough curvature...

Before it is bent to the required angle, the ends of the two ribs are already together!

Why is it so difficult to do basic research...

The distal ends of the two ribs were touching each other. It was obvious that the ribs were too long and could not be tightened. There was no other way, Gretel had no choice but to take further measures:

Pick up the scissors and cut off the end of the ribs with a click. The two magicians around him trembled, and Gretel seemed unaware. He applied bone wax, sealed the broken end, and then cast a healing spell to stop the bleeding and heal it——

alright!

It’s done this time!

The steel wire was further tightened, and the bending angle of the spine successfully exceeded the previous result and was close to the amplitude required for the experiment!

Gretel took a deep breath, and started to operate the next task according to the calculations he had made on Onekin before - bending the spine to the right and then forward at the same time.

This time, a longitudinal incision was made on the posterior midline to expose the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. The spinous processes of the lumbar vertebrae are wider, thicker and stronger than the thoracic vertebrae and can bear more force. This is it!

Pass the wire through the spinous process...

Oops! The spinous process is broken!

Rats are really small, and their bones are too small and tender. I don’t know when something will go wrong!

Grete swung a cleansing spell on his forehead to wipe the sweat. Then, the rat's lumbar spinous process was partially bone-set, treated with treatments, allowed to heal, and then re-pierced the hole and re-threaded the steel wire...

Finally, the two ends of the steel wire are subcutaneously fixed and compressed to the 8th rib, 9th rib, 12th rib, and 13th rib respectively to further aggravate the side bend. Look left, look right, look up, look down, [Endless Ink Pen] is flying in all directions——

Satisfactory inspection in all directions!

The spine bends to the right and forward to the expected extent! His hands are so accurate~~~

Turning their heads, the two magicians stood on tiptoes, holding their breath, and tried to look around. Gretel smiled at them:

"Wait a minute. I'm sure there's no problem and the healing is successful. Then I'll show you the results of the experiment. Give me a quarter of an hour!"

He observed the mouse carefully. The life energy is normal - after this advancement, he can finally sense the intensity of the life energy - breathing is normal, heartbeat is normal, and blood oxygen saturation is normal. blood pressure?

Sorry, he doesn't know the blood pressure of rats because he doesn't have the technical accumulation.

All in all, the mouse looks normal and the surgery can be completed. Holy saline solution, on!

Gretel repeatedly rinsed the wound and healed it with layer-by-layer healing techniques. After the operation, I looked up and looked at the time...

Well, an hour passed by without even realizing it.

My cesarean section only took 15 minutes!

Gretel burst into tears.

Alas, when it comes to making animal models, there is no way to only make one. For example, his experiment started with at least 10 animals - not counting the one that died during the previous operation. If it is confirmed that this method is effective, it will need to be dissected, treated, and done on larger animals...

The road is long and far away, I will search up and down. You should improve your hand speed quickly, or you can train two more surgical animals. Making dozens of animal models by yourself is really tiring!

"Mage Nordmark, can we help?" Archmage Morton watched the entire operation of Gretel and volunteered:

"How many mice are coming here and we can do it? Will it be faster if we all do it together?"

His students did not dare to say a word, but they nodded frequently and said, "I can also help." Gretel: "..."

Can you do it?

Can you really do this?

I still have quite a bit of surgical experience, but I’m still struggling with it, how about you? Are you sure you won't do one thing and die, or do a hundred things and die a hundred times?

Forget it, others have good intentions after all, and mice are not expensive. Grete tentatively discussed with them:

"You will use adult male rats to do it first? They are bigger, so it will be easier to do?"

Master Morton follows the good deeds. Grete allocated a separate laboratory and gave them ten adult male rats, each with a scalpel and a box of bone wax. Go forward bravely, Your Majesty the Archmage!

As for retractors, vascular clamps, periosteal strippers, and other various surgical instruments, you can only ask the Archmage to change them with your own hands.

Anyway, Grete himself uses it this way, and it saves equipment costs, disinfection costs, storage costs, and an equipment nurse and a circulating nurse to check the numbers.

Then……

"Ah! Teacher, the mouse was stabbed to death!"

"Ah! Teacher, the mouse was stabbed to death again!"

"The mice smacked to death again..."

"Well, Master Nordmark, let's focus on magic..."

"MOSS, help me pass the first phase of the experimental plan and today's operation records to Mrs. Alva." After the day's work, Gretel was exhausted and ordered Talling:

"By the way, let me ask Mrs. Alva, how much experimental funding can be provided? The next stage of experiments will be more difficult..."

Gretel rolled up his sleeves and started tossing these experimental animals. In addition to him, there are two spellcasters dedicated to serving this group of rats:

One is a priest of the Order of the God of Nature, a trainee priest. After this gentleman entered the novitiate stage, he was stuck for ten years without being promoted to a formal priest. It can be said that everyone sheds tears when he hears it, and is sad when he sees it.

Elder Wood thought of many ways for him, and Pastor Matthew always paid attention to him. The final conclusion was that "the road is crooked, and this guy can't sense nature." As a result, Grete was picked up and hired to take care of the animals, and he lived a comfortable life;

The other is a necromancer, who is responsible for assisting the nature priest, feeding the animals, casting spells, and conducting dissections to determine the cause of death of the animals. After working with him for a year, my level has skyrocketed, and I have advanced to a second-level mage.

Now, the two spellcasters stood side by side in front of Gretel, each holding a notebook and quickly recording Gretel's request:

“One cage for each rat!”

"yes!"

"Don't be stingy with food and water, give them the best to facilitate postoperative recovery!"

"yes!"

"Rats are prone to stress after being frightened. Use more soothing spells. If your spells are not enough, ask Carlos and ask him to call for help!"

"yes!"

Gretel thought for a while and didn't have any other suggestions. Next, let’s trust their experience in caring for animals. Anyway, the wounds of these rats have healed, and they will not die from anesthesia during the operation, nor will they die from infection...

Next, he spent all his free time working day and night. Ten rat animal models of scoliosis were made within three days, and two more were made by the way——

Two rats unfortunately died. The cause of one was unknown, while the other, after an autopsy, found that the wire broke and punctured the internal organs.

After waiting for ten days, Gretel came over every day and took an X-ray from the front and side. The progress is very gratifying. The semi-adult mice grow rapidly, and the wedge deformation of the vertebral bodies of the spine has become quite obvious. The intervertebral space on the concave side has narrowed and the convex side has widened.

Yeah, okay, that’s it!

Next, dissection, pathological examination, and most importantly -

Do a CT scan!

Who told him how to make the mouse stay well so that he could complete a CT scan?
