Inside the operating room.
The patient is in position, and dical staff from departnts such as anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, thoracic surgery, and spinal surgery are also in place.
The nurses are each in their positions, like in a competition, performing their duties and standing ready!
In the entire operating room, everyone is like a well-trained soldier, waiting for the battle to begin!
Everyone has changed into surgical attire, prepared for the surgery!
The head transplant surgery is incredibly complex.
No one has experience.
Everyone is doing this for the first ti.
So, tension is inevitable.
However, what everyone fears most is not the tension, but the unknown!
The fear of the unknown is the most dangerous and the least controllable.
No one knows what will happen once the surgery begins.
But!
When everyone is looking anxious and uneasy, Chen Cang walks in!
And with Chen Cang’s arrival, it seems that everyone instantly breathes a sigh of relief!
Everyone seems to relax.
Chen Cang is like their backbone, making everyone unconsciously feel a sense of reliance.
Perhaps, this is the power of leadership!
Chen Cang dons his surgical gown and lightly asks, "Are we ready?"
"Vascular surgery team one is ready!"
"Spinal surgery team two is ready!"
...
With everyone’s clear and decisive report, Chen Cang slowly nods.
And those outside watching the live broadcast of the surgery can’t help but get excited seeing this scene!
After all, isn’t surgery a battle too?
No gunpowder, no deafening slaughter, but it’s a fight for life in the delicate intricacies!
Isn’t it to claim a piece of land for the patient?
As the sound of reports echoes, people’s hearts swell with excitent, wishing they could be on-site to participate.
Sotis, surgery can be thrilling!
Although we wear white clothes, we march forward through blood.
At this mont, everyone participating in the surgery on-site feels an unprecedented sense of honor!
To be able to tackle such a disease with Professor Chen might be the greatest highlight of one’s life!
Honestly, it’s really difficult to conduct this surgery!
After all, after a head transplant surgery, one person is bound to die.
This involves the ethics committee.
Sotis science and ethics are hard to balance, but not this ti!
Just like when liver or heart donations were initially not recognized!
Yet, this head transplant surgery, at its core, is about repairing spinal nerve damage!
The purpose is still to provide a dream for those paralyzed and with spinal nerve injuries!
This surgery is recognized by the World Paralysis Alliance, Chinese dical Association, and others!
Indeed!
This is a great human endeavor!
...
...
The surgery officially begins!
At this mont, Chen Cang says to the anesthesiologist:
"Begin body cooling!"
The anesthesiologist nods and starts administering dication.
The equipnt is also getting prepared.
This surgery is definitely not a simple one.
Various high-tech instrunts are being prepared in the operating room.
Around the world, countless people are watching the surgery through different channels.
In many places, it is still night or even early morning.
But!
No one sleeps tonight.
Body cooling can slow down cell death and reduce tabolism to an extent.
This way, it can mitigate adverse effects due to cell aging and death.
Body cooling during surgery is a routine procedure, used in many surgeries, so this technology is matured!
While waiting, people worldwide are taking notes.
Everyone wants to follow the surgical procedure!
And Chen Cang begins checking the indicators of the two individuals!
The core of the surgery is repairing the damaged spinal nerves.
This is the most challenging step!
Indeed, the difficulty of spinal nerve injury is high.
According to the latest research, it takes at least 26,000 Newtons of force to cause spinal nerve damage!
Of course, it’s also a matter of angle.
To cut with a knife, only 10 Newtons is needed to easily sever it!
Are these two types of injury the sa?
Of course not!
From Chen Cang’s recent research findings:
If the force is 26,000 Newtons causing damage, spinal nerve damage is irreversible.
But!
If it’s just quickly severed, if ti allows, Chen Cang still plans to use so thods to achieve partial connection!
That’s already very difficult!
How high is the difficulty of connecting spinal nerves?
No one dares to imagine!
How many nerves are there in the human spine?
Thousands upon thousands, even more!
Trying to connect all these nerves successfully is a fantasy!
Completely impossible!
Therefore, a head transplant cannot be fully successful now!
Because all nerves cannot be connected.
Thus, selectively repairing so nerves becos particularly important!
Similarly, how can individual nerves be located and sutured among such delicate and intricate nerves?
All of this!
Was once considered impossible.
Imagine how high the difficulty of such a surgery is?
Moreover!
Ultimately, all this rests upon their capability to accomplish spinal repair.
But what’s the truth?
The difficulty of spinal repair is extraordinarily high!
If not for the techniques on neural repair Chen Cang obtained from the "spinal fusion connection" surgery before, he too wouldn’t dare start today’s surgery!
This is also the first technique to be demonstrated today: Micro-neural docking suture!
Of course, after connecting, recovery requires electromagnetic stimulation implantation, local drug micro-release technology, and various other thods!
These are Chen Cang’s precious treasures!
But!
No matter the thod, the core operation remains micro-neural docking suture!
The most delicate absorbable thread needs to be used to suture so key nerves.
Ti passes second by second.
Everyone around is carefully watching Chen Cang, waiting for him to announce the next step.
Including Jack Pas, Rodman, and David.
They are all cautious!
Honestly, isn’t this the first head transplant surgery in their lives as well?
At this mont, Chen Cang glances at Jack Pas and says: "Professor Jack Pas, prepare for cranial removal!"
As soon as this is said, the surroundings instantly beco silent!
"Group one, coordinate to prepare for extracorporeal artificial vascular circulation technology!"
"Group two..."
While speaking, Chen Cang begins to quickly arrange.
Jack Pas doesn’t have the courage to perform a head transplant, but he has perford cranial removal on the deceased more than once!
So, he’s experienced with Chen Cang’s arrangents!
He thankfully glances at Chen Cang to express his gratitude!
He understands that Professor Chen is granting him respect, allowing him, the chief surgeon, to be filled with dignity!
