Chapter 780: surgery

In medicine, neurology has always been a more difficult area, especially when it comes to the spinal nerve, the situation will become more complicated.
The end of the spinal nerve is damaged and the entire lower body is paralyzed. If this happens, doctors usually tell patients that it is basically impossible to stand up again.
Li Gaoliang's situation is the same. Once the central nervous cells are damaged, they cannot be regenerated. Even a great doctor cannot say that connecting the broken spine can make the paralyzed person stand up again.
However, Lu Zhou's plan is not a conventional treatment.
A nerve signal modem is implanted at each end of the damaged segment of the spinal nerve, and at the same time, the damaged nerve is covered by an imitation nerve sensing device made of molybdenum / titanium alloy.
It is equivalent to building a bridge over the damaged spinal nerve, using electrical signals to replace the complex signal transmission between neuronal cells, and using "translators" at both ends to translate electrical signals and neural signals, and controlling the built-in electric drive device Titanium alloy bones, to achieve the effect of restoring the legs' motor function.
At the same time, in order to maximize the recovery of the subject's athletic ability and to extend the shelf life of this nerve access prosthesis, the titanium alloy bones used in his legs are the Institute of Computational Materials and Mechanical Engineering of the Jinling Advanced Institute Jointly designed.
If the cost can be calculated, the average unit price per gram is more than 2,000 US dollars, and one kilogram is at least two million US dollars.
Counting the value of the neural access device itself, the whole set of equipment is installed, and the cost is almost catching up with a main battle tank ...
However, there is nothing wrong with this metaphor. After this transformation, almost half of his entire lower body parts were replaced with machinery. Although it is certainly not as exaggerated as the terminator in the movie, he waits until he can fully adapt to this transformation. After that, ordinary people have no problem with their athletic ability and reaction ability.
In the operating room.
The anesthesiologist is ready for anesthesia and can start taking medicine at any time.
The surgeon, who had already put on the gloves, took out the surgical tools, looked at Li Gaoliang before the operation, and asked carefully.
"are you ready?"
Li Gaoliang, lying on the operating table, calmly lowered his chin.
"Ready, let's get started."
All preparations were in place, and the surgery soon began.
Standing outside the operating room door, Wang Peng found a cigarette lighter out of his pocket, but soon threw the cigarette into a trash can.
After taking two steps back and forth, he couldn't help but look at Lu Zhou sitting on the bench and asked.
"Do you say this operation will be successful?"
Shaking his head, Lu Zhou simply said, "Without 100% confidence, I can only say that I have done my best to minimize the risk."
In order to ensure that the operation is foolproof, Xingkong Technology specially invited the most experienced surgeon from Shangjing, and performed numerous exercises using the 1: 1 model before the operation began.
Even so, Lu Zhou couldn't guarantee that there would be no accidents during the operation.
Wang Peng nodded and said nothing, but stared silently at the door of the operating room, clenched his fists, and silently prayed for his old comrade in peace in his heart.
The operation was very long.
The original plan was to end at 6:00 PM, and the result was delayed until 3:00 AM.
Sitting on a bench in front of the operating room, dozing off, suddenly woke up by the sound of the door of the operating room being opened, watching the surgeon coming out of the operating room, Lu Zhou said nothing, stood up and asked Road.
"How's the situation? Is the operation going well?"
Taking off the mask on his face, the chief doctor looked at Lu Zhou with a tired look and nodded his head.
"The operation is basically a success ... As for whether it will work, we will not know until the patient wakes up."
Hearing the doctor's words, Lu Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart let go.
Standing next to Wang Peng, his clenched fist was finally released and he looked at the doctor gratefully.
"Thank you!"
"Don't thank me. The main problem is the patient's physical fitness. To be honest, this is the first time I have done such a messy operation ... to bridge the spinal nerve. I have never heard of it before."
When he said that, the doctor's face was filled with emotion.
Although for the person outside the operating room, the result of the operation is simply a word of success or failure, but for him as the chief surgeon, each of these ten-hour hours is extremely thrilling.
After a pause, the surgeon said.
"Generally speaking, if a spinal cord injury causes his nerve fibers to be severed and cannot be regenerated, the paralysis caused by the trauma in this area is basically permanent ... if he can really stand up again, he may become Miracle in the history of medicine. "
"I wish we could do miracles," Lu Zhou nodded to the surgeon. "You should go to rest."
The surgeon doctor smiled reluctantly.
"If you don't say I can't stand it."
Focusing on the operating table for ten consecutive hours, his spirit has already reached its limit.
...
After the operation is over.
Li Gaoliang, who was lying in the hospital bed until the early morning of the next day, finally woke up from his drowsiness.
Although the physician in charge of anesthesia is experienced and the dose control is quite perfect, the operation of removing the anesthetic near the central nerve requires a lot of time, so that he can only open it now. Eyes, don't say you can't speak, the whole person is there like a wooden man.
After learning that he was awake, he was on the boat at the Jinling Institute of Higher Learning and immediately rushed over.
When he arrived in the ward, Li Gaoliang was lying on the hospital bed staring at the ceiling for a while.
Now he only has eyeballs and part of the muscles on his face can move. After hearing the movement at the door of the ward, the eyeballs move slightly, and he looks in the direction of Lu Zhou.
"how are you feeling?"
Li Gaoliang's facial muscles twitched, but his mouth couldn't open.
"... Sorry, I forgot that you can't speak now." Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile and paused for a while before continuing. "The operation was very successful. According to the doctor, you can get off in a week without accident. Bed. As to whether you can adapt to your new body, it depends on how well you are doing after the rehabilitation, but I believe you have survived the operation itself. This little problem should not be a big deal. "
The black pupil shook slightly ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Li Gaoliang didn't speak, just stared at Lu Zhou intently.
Read out the grateful color from that sight, Lu Zhou smiled indifferently, and continued to say.
"In short, it's great that you can be safe."
"Just take a good rest these days. I won't bother you to recover. When you can get out of bed, I will come to see you again."
"I……"
The muscles on his face twitched, Li Gaoliang reluctantly opened his mouth, and made a difficult voice from his throat.
"……Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded to him.
Having said that, he turned and walked away.
