"Dr. Hoffman's operation can be said to be an eye-opener for us, and it has brought great inspiration to many young doctors in the hospital."
"The most important thing is that the appearance of his replacement artificial bone can be said to have solved many problems that have plagued us before!"
Guan Zhenhai talked about the importance of Hoffman and his team in front of Xiao Feng again.
Xiao Feng laughed, what do you think, this Hoffman is the top medical expert under him.
Just the medical knowledge in his mind, any random point, can make modern medicine suddenly speed up by decades.
And this is only artificial bone replacement, not yet to the point of regeneration of severed limbs and treatment of high paraplegia.
When Hoffman brings out those technologies, it will definitely become famous all over the world.
But now the problem Xiao Feng is facing is when to show these technologies, and who will show them.
Is Hoffman coming forward, or someone else will do these things.
After all, Hoffman couldn't have jumped out of a crack in the rock, and his previous life experience was completely blank.
If he comes up with such a heaven-defying technology, then people will definitely put him under a microscope to watch.
By that time, someone will definitely use his life experience as an example.
Especially those Western media who have always been unfriendly to the East, they will definitely make a big fuss about these things and pour dirty water on them.
After all, scientists supported by the Chinese have made some epoch-making scientific achievements, which can easily break the glass hearts of those white supremacists.
So under Xiao Feng's request, Hoffman is only starting from the low-end business now, and he didn't behave very badly when he came up.
But despite being very low-key, the artificial bone replacement he brought out this time caused a huge sensation in Sunshine Hospital.
Don't look at the fact that many media in the world have boasted that a certain university has used 3D printing technology to create an artificial bone and so on.
But in fact, those so-called 'bones' are easy to build, but there are not many that can really be replaced by the human body.
It is because of the reasons mentioned before that the bones of our human body are not a completely airtight solid.
There are countless tiny honeycomb-shaped holes inside, and there are bone marrow in these holes.
The bone marrow is the second largest hematopoietic organ in the human body after the liver. In addition, the bone marrow also participates in the circulation of the human immune system.
So this is the key to the fact that artificial bones have not been able to be born.
But now with the appearance of Hoffman, this problem that has plagued mankind for many years has finally been solved.
In the past, orthopedic surgeons, when faced with various comminuted fractures, used the most method to splice the broken bones together as much as possible.
Keep the patient's bones intact as much as possible, because this will ensure the patient's quality of life after surgery.
If it is impossible to treat, amputation will be chosen.
During the operation, because of the search for broken bones and splicing and fixing, a large and long wound must be made on the patient's body.
In this process, the patient's body tissue will be exposed to oxygen for a long time.
This will cause serious infection after surgery and even during surgery.
And the patient has to face long-term antibiotic treatment after the operation. The whole process can be said to be very damaging to the patient's autoimmune environment.
Moreover, the postoperative recovery time of the patient will be very long, and the final recovery situation will vary from person to person, good or bad.
But now with the appearance of the artificial bone replacement brought out by Hoffman, it can be said that the orthopedic surgery in the future will be directly upgraded to the 2.0 era.
In the future, all chainsaws, electric drills and the like will be eliminated.
However, if the patient's bone is comminuted, the doctor does not need to stitch it together, nor does he need to choose amputation.
Just replace this bone directly...
In addition, the emergence of Hoffman's artificial bones,
It also provides a new solution to the problem for the doctors of brain surgery.
We must know that in the past, when brain surgery doctors performed craniotomy, they would choose to lift the patient's celestial cover.
But the human skull is definitely the strangest of all bones.
Because other bones, after being broken or cut, can grow back automatically after being spliced together and fixed for a period of time.
But the skull doesn't, for example, if you cut a piece of skull the size of a watermelon rind on top of your head.
Then after the operation, no matter how you fix the skull, it will not grow back automatically.
Therefore, many patients who have undergone craniotomy will end up with a titanium alloy metal bowl on the head to replace the skull.
Ensure that the brain will not be knocked out during strenuous exercise.
Although the patient was rescued after the operation, there is no need to mention the quality of life.
The first thing to face is the rejection reaction of the metal and the human body itself.
Some people may have relatively thick nerve lines, so the rejection reaction is not great.
But some people may be more sensitive. Long-term metal friction with bones and flesh will cause discomfort in human tissues, and finally cause inflammation.
The patient may then need to take antibiotics for a long time.
In addition, if there is a piece of metal on the top of the head, the patient may have to wear a wig for life in the future.
And in the future, whenever you enter and exit the checkpoint that requires strict inspection like the airport, you will also face various embarrassing problems.
Now that the artificial bone provided by Hoffman has appeared, many orthopedic surgeons who have watched the operation are also wide-eyed.
With such an artificial bone, can those titanium alloys used to close the skull be eliminated during brain surgery in the future?
Therefore, many orthopedic surgeons who saw Hoffman's surgery discussed their ideas with their brain surgery colleagues.
As a result, it attracted the attention of brain surgeons in many hospitals.
But many doctors, after watching the video of this operation, actually paid more attention to the artificial bone replacement.
Another thing that comes to mind, Dr. Hoffman, is the perspective positioning technique used in surgery.
It turns out that Dr. Hoffman, relying on 3D perspective imaging equipment, has already completed the manufacture of the patient's replacement bone.
And this 3D see-through technology is so powerful, why didn't everyone think that this device can have other magical functions before?
For example, intracranial surgery, because the structure of the brain is very special, not to mention the importance to the human body.
Neurosurgery often encounters some strange diseases.
For example, brain tumors, or intracranial hemorrhage.
Sometimes, the location of the tumor is very strange, for example, it grows under the frontal temporal lobe.
To put it bluntly, it is the place behind the eyes. There are really many patients with Zhang tumors in this place.
But the tumor growing in this place is what doctors fear and hate the most.
Because the tumor in this place is really too difficult to cut.
Unlike surgery in other places, you can enlarge the wound on the patient's part to expand the surgical field of view, fully expose the patient's area within the doctor's line of sight, and allow people to see the affected area.
Then, according to the condition of the tumor, it was recently surgically removed.
But if it grows in this place, it won’t work. You can’t make a big incision, because if you make a big incision, the skull can’t grow back.
With the current technology in the medical field, it is already the limit to open it up to the forehead, and if it is opened up, the brain will fall out.
And especially the position hidden in the middle of the left and right brains is often the most difficult to get started.
The brain does not want the intestines, or organs such as the liver and kidneys.
If the surgical field of view is not enough, bold doctors can even support the liver or kidney, carry out the operation, and even suture it.
As long as the blood vessels and nerves are not broken.
But you can't pull the brain out of the cranial cavity for surgery, and then put it back in, right?
If someone dared to do that, I'm afraid the patient would have burped.
Therefore, many brain-supplementing operations are a big problem for neurosurgeons today.
But it is not impossible, such as insisting on surgery under the irradiation of X-ray machine or CT machine.
But there is a disadvantage in doing so, that is, the doctor will be exposed to the radiation of fluoroscopy rays.
Although doctors will wear protective clothing, there is no guarantee that they will not take radiation 100%.
Therefore, such an operation will cause great damage to doctors, and wearing protective clothing for surgery will also greatly affect the accuracy of doctors' operations.
Therefore, as a last resort, no doctor would choose to perform such an operation.
After all, if one does not do well, it may smash its own signboard.
But now, after seeing how Dr. Hoffman uses the 3D perspective imaging equipment, many neurosurgery doctors have also moved their minds.
Speaking of the advanced level of this 3D perspective imaging equipment, it is much more powerful than X-ray and CT machines.
The most important thing is that this kind of perspective imaging equipment, according to his principle, has no danger of perspective rays.
So, with the assistance of this kind of equipment, can we better complete those operations with poor surgical field of vision?
This has become a hot topic again.
Many doctors, after having an idea, immediately set up a discussion and experimental group.
So recently, although Dr. Hoffman didn't do any outstanding surgeries, it still made him famous in Huaguo medical circle.
Because of the emergence of him and his technology, many doctors in Huaguo have brought new ideas.
So now Dr. Hoffman has become a favorite, and has been invited by many domestic hospitals to do flying knife surgery and speech training at the same time.
Hearing what Guan Zhenhai said, Xiao Feng really didn't expect that Hoffman would become famous in China in such a way.
But that's fine, I was still hesitant about whether Hoffman would come forward with those technologies in the future.
Now it seems that there is no problem, this old man is stable.
With the foundation of becoming famous in China, it is not a big problem to become famous internationally in the future.
