Chapter 126 Consequences of damaged recurrent branch of nerve, thumb reconstruction(3/3)
What I entered today was actually a 100-level operating room. It seemed that I was preparing to participate in a major operation.
After entering, a strange male doctor and two residents had already arrived early.
The male doctor may be about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, tall and burly, and exudes a strong aura. He is studying a dozen films displayed on the light screen.
"Good morning, Dr. Chi! He is indeed the strongest attending doctor in our group. He came here so early to study the patient's films."
Doctor Shan greeted the other party with a smile.
"Stop complimenting me! If you hadn't been responsible for the ward rounds, would I have been able to enter the operating room in advance to read the information so leisurely?"
After Dr. Chi responded, he continued to look at the films taken by the patient attentively.
Being able to become the strongest attending doctor in this group certainly has his strengths.
If nothing else, this concentration alone is not something that ordinary people can possess.
Doctor Shan also walked over and watched the film.
The film is not complicated and shows an X-ray of a patient's right hand.
It can be clearly seen that the patient's thumb bone is incomplete.
The entire thumb is gone.
I don’t know if it was a congenital deformity or an accident that caused the disability.
What kind of surgery is this?
Zhou Can was secretly curious.
His status was extremely low, so he could only stand behind Dr. Tang and Dr. He and watch the film from a distance.
Not long after, Director Shen quickly walked into the operating room.
There is a director, two excellent attending doctors, several residents and trainees, and three surgical nurses.
Just by looking at this battle, you can tell that this is a major operation.
Replantation of severed fingers is only a secondary surgery.
There is no need for so many doctors to be dispatched together.
"They're all here! Not bad, they all have a positive work attitude."
When Director Shen looked at Dr. Shan and Dr. Chi, he seemed to be looking at the two generals he relied on most.
Zhou Can has just entered orthopedic surgery a few days ago. I wonder how many groups there are in orthopedic surgery?
I don’t know who the doctors in this group are.
Director Shen is the team leader, and Dr. Shan and Dr. Chi are in charge. There are also four resident doctors including Dr. Tang and Dr. He.
Here are the people he knows so far.
"What is shown on the screen is the patient's incomplete right hand. It is a congenital deformity. The thumb controls more than 50% of the functions of the hand. It is very important! The patient is now a 21-year-old young man who has earned a little money from part-time work. I am here for the consultation.
At that time, he happened to call me. He said that the missing thumb on his right hand had caused him a lot of troubles over the years."
"It's inconvenient to write, hold things, and even wipe my butt with my left hand. When looking for a partner, the girl saw that his hands were disabled and ran away. He wanted to ask our doctor to find a way to help.
He made a thumb."
Director Shen briefly introduced the patient's condition.
When encountering such a disabled patient who is constantly striving for self-improvement, the doctor not only sympathizes, but is also deeply moved.
I am willing to try my best to help them.
Rebuilding a thumb?
How to make this?
Today's medical technology is becoming more and more advanced. I have heard of artificial hip joints and artificial blood vessels, but I have never heard of artificial thumbs.
For low-level amputation of the leg, prostheses can be installed to restore most of the patient's leg movement functions.
But what to do with the thumb on the hand?
Director Shen smiled and swiped the screen of the light screen.
"Look, this is an X-ray of the patient's foot."
Zhou Can took a closer look and found that the patient's right foot bones were clear and complete.
Chapter completed!
