The system takes me for surgery

The old lady said that her children are all in their forties and have families of their own.

It is estimated that when she is still active, she is helping her husband to feed and changing diapers for the elderly. She is worried that if the disease gets worse, she will not be able to take care of herself.

The old lady looked out the window and said: "We met in college. When we were young, we hoped that our lover would live longer. Now I think that he doesn't know anything now. It's better to leave first. I'm still here. He can still walk in a decent manner, if I'm not here, then..." The old lady hesitated to speak, "He loves to be clean all his life."

Liang Yi was a little moved. The old lady's appearance and conversation were very elegant. Judging from their age, they should be college students in a very early period. After experiencing extremely turbulent times, they can still think about each other in their later years. This is love.

"I'll take your examination film and previous medical records first, and discuss it with our director." Liang Yi said.

"Okay, thank you Dr. Liang, thank you." The old lady nodded in gratitude.

Liang Yi returned to the orthopedic office.

Director Hu asked: "How is it?"

"It's difficult." Liang Yi sighed.

"Bring me the film, I'll take a look."

Director Hu took the film, carefully looked at it in the reading light box, and said: "There are bone destruction in several places, let's do it with vertebroplasty."

Vertebroplasty is generally used in senile spinal osteoporotic compression fractures, vertebral hemangioma and other diseases.It has the advantages of minimally invasive and quick results, but the posterior edge of the vertebral body must be complete before the operation, otherwise there is a possibility of bone cement leaking into the spinal canal and causing paralysis.

Vertebroplasty, that is to use bone cement to fill the cavity formed by tumor growth in the diseased vertebral body, support the vertebral body, and at the same time use the high temperature generated by the polymerization reaction of bone cement to kill tumor cells.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. I can't see it clearly from this angle. I suspect that chest 11 and chest 12 have been completely destroyed. Look at the left side." Liang Yi said.

Director Hu didn't notice it at first, but Liang Yi said that he found it really possible, and said, "Take another CT to confirm."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements." After Liang Yi finished speaking, he went to notify the family members.

An hour later, the report came out, thorax 11, thorax 12, and the left side of the vertebral body were completely destroyed, and the vertebral body communicated with the spinal cord in the spinal canal. Conventional vertebroplasty may cause bone cement to seep into the spinal canal and cause paralysis.

Hu Yaoguo frowned and said, "I haven't done this yet, so I don't know what the risks are."

I looked up the information before, and the principle itself is not difficult. It is like putting a balloon into the vertebral body to be operated, and then pouring bone cement into it.

"I know this. The principle is like this, but the operation is not so easy. If there is a little carelessness, the bone cement will penetrate into the spinal canal and cause paralysis." Director Hu reminded.

"Yes, you need to be very cautious in operation, be careful."

"Think about it again." Director Hu said.

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it." Liang Yi nodded and said.

The reason why Director Hu is so cautious is because he protects Liang Yi. After all, it took decades for the affiliated hospital to have such a highly talented surgeon. A young doctor with a bright future.
