Chapter 2528 【2528】Operation without Drilling
Xie Wanying hugged the child tightly in her arms.
The pain of losing a loved one does not distinguish between adults and children.
The family members waiting outside wiped away tears when they saw this scene. Shanshan's parents ran into the ward and hugged their eldest daughter tightly.
As student Xie said, family members are not one of the disadvantaged groups.
Afraid of long nights and dreams, the doctor immediately contacted the operating room. When the operating room was vacated at five o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Wanying and Wei Shangquan sent the child to the operating room.
Minimally invasive surgery is now the mainstream of surgery. In general surgery, minimally invasive is to punch a hole and put instruments such as a laparoscope into the patient's body. In orthopedics, minimally invasive surgery can be so powerful that no punching is required. Yes, no scalpels.
What's the matter with this minimally invasive orthopedic surgery, why don't you use a scalpel. In fact, as mentioned before, some fractures require internal fixation due to instability after manual reduction, and this kind of internal fixation does not require drastic measures such as cutting the skin and placing steel plates and nails on the bone, and only needs to be used percutaneously. Insert a few needles in and secure it. In this minor operation, the commonly used internal fixation needles are called Kirschner wires.
Kirschner wires can be steel, stainless steel or titanium alloy, with a very small diameter, the largest being no more than 4 mm. Like today's surgery, only 1.5 mm diameter needles are used. 1.5 mm, but about the same as a thicker embroidery needle. The doctor holds it by hand and inserts it into the patient's skin and bone.
Even a needle hurts, but a needle inserted into the skin and bone is definitely more painful. Anesthesia is needed. Generally, it's okay to play a game. This local anesthesia does not require the anesthesiologist to do it, the orthopedic surgeon will do it himself.
In fact, if it is not for the need for machine assistance, and the fear that the fixation process will not be in place and may require temporary surgery, such an operation can be performed in the treatment room of the ward.
It said that there is no surgery, how can the doctor see the broken bones inside and fix the needles. Like interventional surgery, the X-ray machine can be used conveniently and timely to direct the doctor to locate. In orthopedics, C-arm X-ray machines are commonly used. Similarly, medical staff need to wear lead clothing to protect against radiation.
Put the child on the operating table, and the C-arm X-ray machine is placed parallel to the operating table.
At the scene of the car accident, everyone could see that Shanshan was very strong. Sure enough, now lying on the operating bed, Shanshan did not show any fear, and watched the doctors' movements with her eyes.
The nurse saw it and said, "Oh, does this child want to be a doctor in the future?"
Generally, children are afraid to die as long as they enter the operating room. If you have a child with a white coat dream, you will not be afraid.
Shanshan's little face was red. Today, after seeing the heroic doctor sister in a white coat, she had this idea in her heart: thinking that one day she will be as handsome as the doctor sister, and whether she can cure her younger sister Xiaoyu.
"Doctor Liu, are you alone?" The nurse asked Liu Huaiyu who came in after washing his hands.
"Aren't they two human beings?" Liu Huaiyu pointed at the students.
"I've never seen either of them before."
It is normal for the two students who have just arrived to be suspicious of their technical skills by their seniors.
An anesthesiologist passed by the door of the operating room, found Xie Wanying and said, "I recognize her. With her here, there will be no problem with the operation."
The senior insisted that she was very powerful, which aroused the curiosity of a large group of people.
Pediatricians who were about to get off work came to watch the excitement.
