Chapter 379: Sudden Change
Qiao Qing put on the hat and wig to disguise herself. She stared at the machine and rushed towards it. The sudden collision caught the nurses off guard. Qiao Qing touched something on the machine and uttered in a low voice, “Sorry!” Then she scurried away.?What machine would have such tight nobs??Qiao Qing had no idea if she had manipulated any changes.
The chief nurse looked at Qiao Qing and then at the machine. When she saw that the machine was fine, she told the other nurses, “We mustn’t let Doctor Lu know about the thing that happened earlier. The machine looks fine to me but if Doctor Lu finds out, we will all lose our jobs!”
The other nurses nodded solemnly. They all agreed to pretend that they didn’t see Qiao Qing and pushed the machine into the operating theatre.
Mo Zheng was told he was only going for a bodycheck, but as he laid down, the anesthesiologist pumped him with gas. Soon, he fell asleep and was pushed into the operating theater.
A doctor had packed all the tools Mo Zheng needed for the surgery. The machine was connected. Everyone was waiting for Mo Li’s arrival. If this surgery was successful, it would be significant to medical development.
Today, the usage of 3d printed bones could allow surgeons to observe a patient’s lesion more clearly to facilitate clearer dissection. It will allow the surgeon to study the connections between the local nerve plexus and vascular bundle, as well as connections with the adjacent internal organs. On this basis, Mo Li had come up with a proposal to connect 3d printed bones with living human skeletons.
“Teacher, are you sure this material is compatible with human bones?”
“Yes, I’ve sought out the best material to make a bioabsorbable bone model. During the bone grafting process, I will add resin powder and EVONIK onto the bones to make them into a polymer with high compatibility with human bones.”
The surgeons separated Mo Zheng’s pubic bone from his leg bone. Lu Xuan was surprised by Mo Li’s technique. She separated the nonmucous membrane and the bone wall without a single mistake. The 3d model was placed between the two ends of the bone. The next step was to connect the blood vessels and nerves. Once the bone mucous membrane absorbed them, the new bone would be formed. When the blood vessels and nerves could pass through the implanted bone, the body had completely recovered.
Mo Li had used the surgical simulation machine to simulate the proposals many times and this was the best solution for Mo Zheng.
If Mo Zheng’s surgery was successful, it meant that this technology could be replicated in other surgeries like spinal reconstruction.
“I didn’t think it’d be possible!”
“Amazing, this is absolutely amazing!”
“We are going to teach this in classes. The girl is amazing despite her age.”
“We need to record this surgery, it is going to be monumental. Our country’s medical standard will skyrocket because of it.”
Just as everyone was watching the miracle being performed, a young nurse suddenly exclaimed, “Doctor Lu, the patient’s blood pressure dropped. The cell activity in his left leg is dropping too.”
Mo Li who was guiding the blood vessels into the printed bone lifted her head when she heard this. Lu Xuan turned to Mo Zheng’s left leg and he noticed the machine used to fix Mo Zheng’s leg had deviated by 2 mm. The machine’s calibration had gone wrong.
“Teacher, the blood vessels in Mo Zheng’s leg have ruptured. His leg is dying. The bone model is not going to fit also.” Lu Xuan glanced at the chief nurse. The nurse turned away from guilt.
“It’s alright.” Mo Li took a deep breath. “We’re going to perform vessel suturing. Lu Xuan, go and recalibrate the machine.”
Things had spiraled out of hand but that was just the beginning. Suddenly there was yelling from outside the operating theater.
“Are you operating on our Brother Yan?”
“Can this hospital take responsibility if something happens to him?”
“Call the doctor out! Or else we will destroy this hospital!”
