Chapter 820 This Gretel Can Do Something New Every Time
If you can use mental power to protect the brachial plexus, you can use mental power to protect the spinal cord and the nerves extending from the vertebral foramen.
The next day, Grete continued his efforts and performed another scoliosis correction surgery.
This time, Grete incised the skin and separated it layer by layer to expose the outside of the facet joint. Then, under the guidance of the spirit of the contract, spiritual power is unfolded to cover the spinal cord and related nerves——
Get to work!
The CT scan has been completed before, a virtual three-dimensional image has been generated, and it has been calculated in which direction and angle each vertebra needs to be "twisted" to straighten the spine.
Gretel gave an order, and translucent colored lights and shadows lit up around the experimental dog:
This is the [Silent Phantom] released by the tower spirit. The corrected image was released based on the horizontal plane of the seventh cervical vertebra of the experimental dog. Where should you go after correction in the first quarter, where should you go in the second quarter, where should you go in the third quarter...
At the same time, bright lines are used to draw out thin horizontal and vertical cubes so that the surgeon can check the angles.
"Taling is really convenient..."
Grete sighed comfortably. These planning and guidance tasks would have been the work of the Tianji surgical robot in its previous life:
The Tianji navigation system is used to set the screw channels of each vertebral body. After positioning the robot, tap and screw the pedicle screws into the pedicle needle entry point. Then, titanium rods were placed between the screws, the nuts were tightened, and thoracic spine fusion was performed.
The positioning of the human eye cannot be so accurate, and the human hand cannot make holes in the vertebrae with sufficient force and be precise and accurate at the same angle. But with the help, planning, and positioning of the tower spirit, these are not a problem!
Cut off part of the protruding vertebral body, remove part of the soft tissue, and twist the vertebral body with the hands of a powerful mage. Therapeutic techniques are used to guide the bone to grow and reset, and to guide the growth and filling of the soft tissue inside.
Guide the surrounding muscles that are already deformed to grow where they need to and strengthen where they need to, so as not to stretch the spine too much. These tasks have been done very well in the past six months. Now, just think about protecting your nerves.
With the coverage of mental power, there is no such thing as injury to nerve roots, damage to the dura mater, injury to the spinal cord, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid... Under the coverage and protection of mental power, and under the advance protection of the hands of the mage, it does not exist !
After the operation was completed, Grete looked at the regular, normal physiological curvature of a spine in front of him and sighed comfortably. He asked the tower spirit to record the images, took X-ray photos from all sides, used healing techniques to heal the tissue layer by layer, and released the tranquility technique...
The dog opened his eyes, sniffed around, and jumped off the operating table.
Very good, no limp.
"MOSS, take it back! Don't hurt it!"
The operation is completed, but we still need to follow up to see if there is any postoperative bleeding - no, with treatment, there will be no postoperative bleeding. We also need to see if there is any back pain, lower limb pain, or incontinence. , and other complications too!
A good beginning is half the battle. Starting with the black-and-white dog, who looked like a border collie, Grete performed 20 surgeries in one go.
Among the 20 cases, 18 cases were completely cured, with their body length increasing by 3 to 4 cm compared with pre-operation, and the Cobb angle returning to 4° from 35° to 40°. The other two cases included one case of back pain and one case of hind leg pain. In short, they were both within the tolerable range.
Grete wrote the paper with confidence. It was first presented to the teacher for review, and then sent to Mrs. Alva of the Charm Control Department and Archmage Edgar of the Necromancy Department, one copy each.
Look, for this project, animal testing has been successful! Next, you can apply for a clinical trial. Once the clinical trial is passed, you can consider surgery on the person on the other side!
How to notify the other party, how to communicate with the other party, whether to use patients from the country, or whether the Count of Ostend on the other side will find the cases and find ways to send them over. This... you can decide!
Mrs. Alva received the paper and rushed over immediately. Not only did she rush over by herself, she also brought Archmage Edgar from the necromancy department and Archmage Bennett from the medical branch:
"Did you really do it? Are you sure there is no problem? Is the success rate so high? Can you... do it again and show us?"
Archmage Edgar's cheeks were pale and thin, and his eyes were as red as two briquettes burning. He didn't ask any questions, but his eyes were bright and he stared at Gretel without turning around.
Obviously, for this great mage of the necromancy system, or in other words, for the magicians of the necromantic system, being able to watch a difficult operation requires even sharpening one's head to get in!
Only Archmage Bennett shrank back and remained silent. He has a good relationship with Mrs. Alva, or in other words, with the Charm Control Department, so last time a magician from the Charm Control Department attacked the Necromancer Department, he was invited here for treatment.
——The problem is, you didn’t say you were here to see Master Nordmark perform surgery! A layman watches the excitement, while an expert watches the door. We therapists watch other people perform surgeries. We must apply and obtain consent in advance. We cannot just watch casually!
What's more, as a half-supervisor, I came to see whether his operation method and success rate were as stated in the paper!
Grete smiled at him, not caring, and led them in. First, they were shown the preoperative images, postoperative images, and surgical procedures of 20 dogs, and then took them to see the dogs on site.
It doesn't matter if you want to do a spot check or if you want to check it from beginning to end, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I completed these operations in a down-to-earth manner, and the operation records were carefully written. Any one of them can withstand investigation, so don’t be afraid.
Mrs. Alva flipped through them one by one. The dog's length, weight, preoperative images, postoperative images, bleeding volume, blood pressure, each record is consistent. Well, at least it doesn't look like it was copied from one copy to that one...
She threw out a [Charming Animal], then squatted in front of the cage, stroking the head of an experimental dog, cooing, cooing. As for what I communicated with Gouzi...
Gretel chose to ignore it. Anyway, he is just a fake nature mage, and he has failed in all aspects of natural communication.
Archmage Edgar was holding a surgical record, with a pre-operative image on the left and a post-operative image on the right, looking at it in ecstasy. He muttered in his mouth and kept gesticulating with his hands:
"This...this...should be like this...if we become skeleton soldiers...if we become zombies...if we become abominations..."
Grete passed by expressionlessly. You know that the purpose of necromancers' research on surgery is probably to make undead creatures... The problem is that undead creatures don't grow naturally, and you can't guide their skeletal muscles to grow!
Only Archmage Bennett carefully flipped through the two surgical records, asked a few questions that he was more confused about, and then stood quietly on the side, looking like he was avoiding suspicion.
When they met two years ago, he was at level ten and Grete at level six; now he is still at level ten and Grete is at level eight. In two years, God knows if he can break through to level 11. Grete might already be at level 10!
This kind of person is determined to build a good relationship and must not be offended! I mean, do you really want to check his thesis information?
Instead, Grete smiled at him and led him outside and into the animal breeding room outside the mage tower. There are 10 dog cages lined up in a row, and in each cage is a large dog. The back is bare and hairless, and the deformity of the spine can be seen at a glance——
"Just pick one? Whichever one you pick, I will use it for the experiment!"
Alas, since the development of rabies vaccines began, the number of stray dogs in Nevis seems to have been significantly reduced. At the very least, stray dogs that are large enough to bite children to death on a one-on-one basis are no longer very common walking around on the road.
Putting it this way, I feel that his hospital has made a great contribution to the safety of the citizens of Nevis.
Under the watchful eyes of the three archmages, Grete remained steady and performed another scoliosis correction surgery. Mrs. Alva watched the dog jump off the operating table, fly out with its tail between its legs, showing no signs of paralysis, and let out a long sigh:
"At least animal experiments are really no problem. If it can be successful on patients, we can talk to the count and ask him to send his son over for treatment."
She snapped her fingers, and some magic was activated. The dog stumbled back and plunged into her arms. Mrs. Alva stroked the dog's spine, then touched the four legs one by one, raised her head and said:
"By the way, Mage Nordmark, can patients who have received treatment still take the knight route?"
"I don't know about this, and I haven't studied it." Grete spread his hands and said:
"However, even after surgical treatment, patients who have been deformed will have lower bone and muscle strength than normal people, and even internal organs will be compressed for a long time. Whether high-intensity exercise can be performed requires an accumulation of enough cases before we can draw a conclusion."
"Then-" Can you continue researching?
Mrs. Alva hesitated to speak. Grete already smiled:
"Originally, this technology can only benefit a specific person, which is very wasteful. Now that it has been invented, I want to think about how to make it serve more people."
A week later, Bishop Salem, the Bishop of War who had interacted with Gretel in the DC defibrillation project, once again walked into the archbishop's office holding the newly published paper.
"According to previous research, scoliosis exists in a wide range of soldiers. Especially among soldiers who use one-handed weapons, the prevalence of scoliosis in the coronal plane reaches 23.85%, and the prevalence of abnormal curvature in the sagittal plane of the spine, As high as 35.7%..."
"Relatively speaking, the prevalence of scoliosis among magicians of the same age is less than 10%..."
"With age, the scoliosis of warriors also increases, but the scoliosis of knights is relatively low. Therefore, it is speculated that early intervention and treatment can make warriors more likely to progress. …”
The Archbishop sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"This Nordmark mage always comes up with new tricks every time..."

The above data on scoliosis in warriors comes from research on the spinal conditions of athletes such as table tennis, rhythmic gymnastics, volleyball, rugby, and weightlifting...
