Dinosaurs carry wolves, wolves carry...
This song, just before the official start of the operation, made everyone happy, and the atmosphere in the operating room suddenly became relaxed and not as depressing as before.
Previously, both the anesthesia team, Ava, Elena, Murphy, and even Zhou Qiao himself were more or less nervous and stressed.
After all, this is a major surgery for the governor's daughter, involving a huge order of 12 million US dollars. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at the monitoring room, and most of them are big shots. Can you not be nervous?
The last time I was so nervous was when the Medical Committee came to inspect. At that time, it was headed by Professor Parsont.
However, that time was incomparable to this time.
Didn’t you see that Professor Parsont has to stand back now? The cost of that operation was not even a fraction of what it is now!
Now it's fine. The song "Dinosaur Carrying Wolf Carrying Wolf Carrying Wolf" made everyone relax, and Ava deserves a lot of credit!
The operation officially begins.
This is a very difficult operation, because up to 80% of Veronica's body was severely burned, so skin grafting is a very big challenge!
Everyone is waiting to see Zhou Qiao's performance.
For skin grafting, the first choice is naturally autologous skin.
If allogeneic skin is used, except for transplantation between identical eggs, the patient can only survive for a short period of time.
Moreover, after transplantation, although blood circulation can be established with the recipient wound in the early stage, similar to autologous skin grafting, severe rejection will occur after a few days.
Generally speaking, when the wound is only about the size of a palm, there are many donor areas all over the body, and skin removal is very convenient. For example, Veronica's mother has already had this surgery done by experts from the UCLA Medical Center. .
But if, like Veronica, you only have less than 20% of the skins left to choose from, you can imagine how difficult it will be.
There is good skin in some areas, but it is not particularly convenient to remove the skin.
Veronica has never been able to leave the hospital and will have to spend a long time in the hospital. This is mainly because most of her body has no skin. Although scabs have begun to form in some places, a large amount of body fluids still leak out and become inflamed every day.
Only people with severely damaged skin will know the importance of the skin barrier.
Just imagine, it usually takes several days to deal with a small wound, and you don’t dare to touch the water when taking a bath, not to mention that almost 80% of people are bare?
Zhou Qiao checked Veronica's condition. She only had some skin around her chest, inner thighs, calves, insteps, soles, armpits and other places. The skin was scattered and scattered. The largest patch was no more than the size of a palm. 90% were injured, of which 80% were severely burned.
It is this 80% area that requires skin grafting and regeneration.
Skin grafting is called "Skin Graft" in English, and its original meaning is grafting. It is a term in the field of crop and fruit tree planting.
Simply put, it is a surgical technique that removes partial or full thickness skin from one part of the body, transplants it to another part of the body, and makes it survive!
80% of Veronica's body requires skin grafting, but only about 10% of the donor areas are available for selection, and about 10% of minor burns are not suitable.
It is this daunting difficulty of repair that scares away many experts. Like Justin.
The most important thing is that even if the skin grafting is successful, scars will remain everywhere.
It is really very difficult to recover to sixty-seven tenths of the condition before the burn.
Zhou Qiao's perfect skin grafting surgery solved the first difficulty, and the second difficulty relied on the system to exchange for +2 attributes of "healing" and "traceless" energy.
There is no perfect skin grafting surgery. It is not impossible to rely on healing energy alone, but it will cost more points and it will be difficult to win the trust of the world.
The +16 life-saving pill given to Luo Ya can only save life and allow major wounds to heal in a very short time. Because the time is short and the effect is quick, it seems to be "hasty" and "rough", and the scars are difficult to remove, I think. To remove scars, you still need to do a delicate surgical operation again.
And Veronica doesn't need to save her life, her life has been saved long ago!
The plan selected by Zhou Qiao is the one with the highest cost performance and the easiest one to convince the world!
He lowered the scalpel gently, the blade touching the edge of a good skin, and then applying gentle pressure, the blade cut into it.
The lancet traveled slowly along the good skin, and soon, a palm-sized piece of skin as thin as a cicada's wings was easily removed.
This piece of skin is almost transparent. If you don't look carefully, you might think it is air.
Zhou Qiao deliberately paused for a moment so that the people in the monitoring room could see clearly. Then, he carefully divided the skin into several small pieces, knife by knife. It took about two minutes to divide the cicada wing skin into enough pieces. More than two hundred portions, uniform in size, as if measured!
During this process, the movement should not be too big. If it is too big, the wind brought by the arm, scalpel, etc. will blow away these small "skin scraps"!
Or if the person next to you sneezes, the little bits of skin will fly away. That would be equivalent to wasting all your efforts and doing it in vain. It is very, very difficult to collect them back.
In the monitoring room, someone couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is definitely the thinnest skin I have ever seen, even thinner than razor skin! Oh my god, this Dr. Zhou is amazing!"
The person who exclaimed was the skin grafting expert at the UCLA Medical Center. He was the one who performed the skin grafting surgery on Veronica’s mother!
He originally thought that his ability to achieve "thick blades and thick skin" would be regarded as the top technology in the industry. Who would have thought that when Zhou Qiao took action, the skin he took off was even thinner than the one he took off!
Much thinner!
Others can't see it, but as a top expert in this field, how come he doesn't know?
Therefore, I couldn't help but exclaimed! What a surprise!
With this magical technology, he felt that it was not surprising that Zhou Qiao created other miracles!
"What is a thickhide?" Thalia couldn't help but ask. After all, apart from Governor Hulk, she was the only one present who was a layperson and not a member of the medical field.
The expert looked back and saw that it was a female star asking the question, so he couldn't help but explain: "The skin graft is the thinnest type in our field of skin grafting, which means it is only as thin as the blade of a scalpel!"
Thick skin is translucent when cut, while thicker skin is called medium-thick skin, which is further divided into thin-medium-thick skin and thick-medium-thick skin.
However, the skin Zhou Qiao removed was almost completely transparent. Isn't it thinner than the blade's skin?
If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought that what he was pretending to remove was air!
Only top experts can master the thick blade. The average thickness is about 0.3 mm. Some experts can achieve 0.2 mm. However, Zhou Qiao's perfect skills and the ceiling in the earth's medical field exist. How can it be only 0.2?
He can do 0.06 mm!
Many UP owners like to make some weird experimental videos, such as using a vernier caliper to measure the wings of a black grasshopper, which is about 0.06 mm.
In other words, Zhou Qiao's skin is truly as thin as a cicada's wings.
Some machines that claim to be nanotechnology can reach less than 0.2 mm, but the skin removal effect and efficiency are probably not as good as Zhou Qiao's!
Zhou Qiao performed the operation in six times, and this factor was also involved. Each time, the skin was removed at 0.06 mm, so that the recovery of the donor area would be very fast. It would not take a month, but just a few days to remove the skin again.
The other experts were also amazed.
Some experts said: "The epidermis that Dr. Zhou took has less dermis and a thin skin. Not only is it easier to survive, but it also has strong anti-infection power. This technology is really unique!"
It's a pity that the owner of the Lanzhou Ramen Shop is not here. If he were, he would definitely be more shocked than these experts. If you use this hand to cut beef, wouldn't the profit increase tenfold? Can a piece of beef last for a year?
In the operating room, Zhou Qiao started skin grafting very carefully.
The dot matrix technique of "seedling transplanting method" is used, that is to say, a small piece of cicada wing skin is "responsible" for a small surrounding area, which is the most efficient.
Otherwise, if a small piece of skin is directly covered, the area covered will be limited.
There are so few "piyuan" that we can't afford not to be careful!
As soon as this operation came out, everyone was amazed again.
After these "seedlings" survive, they can expand to cover larger wounds.
This process very much tests the skill and level of the surgeon. Even if an average doctor thinks of this method, his hands may not be able to keep up!
I have the idea, but the actual operation cannot achieve the expected effect!
Dr. Justin, the plastic surgery expert, sat silently, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. He originally wanted to come here to find faults and point out the situation, but he didn't know that an expert would know it as soon as he made a move.
Just Zhou Qiao's "cicada wing skin" hand shocked him. Not to mention the ingenious method of transplanting rice seedlings later. There is also a perfect level of cosmetic suturing that is easy and smooth.
If he had done it by himself, he would have been able to get the thick skin at most, but the skin Zhou Qiao took was actually thinner than the thick skin. This is simply...unbelievable!
Of course he didn't know that Zhou Qiao called this cicada wing skin, but he felt that it was indescribable, and there were mixed feelings deep in his heart.
He thought for a while and finally couldn't help but said: "Actually, there is another difficulty, and that is the survival rate of these small pieces of skin. It can't be 100% successful, right? If 20 to 30% fail, the effect of the surgery will be It would be very ugly.”
The doctor next to him was silent.
Indeed, this should also be a big difficulty. It all depends on the survival rate!
Seth, director of the burn department, said: "The most difficult thing about skin grafting is that it is difficult to guarantee the survival rate. Especially for small skin grafts on fingers and toes, the necrosis rate is extremely high. In actual work, even only one or two percent of skin grafts Necrosis can cause a lot of headaches.”
Professor Parsont smiled slightly and said: "Actually, these are secondary. The most important thing is, how magical is Dr. Zhou's special secret medicine? Can it really be traceless?"
Only then did everyone realize, yes, it seems that Dr. Zhou has never relied on these surgical operations. The core competitiveness is his secret medicine!
Justin curled his lips and snorted in his heart. He didn't believe that Zhou Qiao's so-called magical secret medicine really had that magical effect. Deep down, he felt that Zhou Qiao was a complete deceiver!
He glanced at the people around him, smiled faintly, and said in a strange way: "It is said that Dr. Zhou boasts that it will take only seven or eight days to be effective. When the time comes, won't we know for ourselves when we witness it?"
He felt that it would be best to have as many people as possible witness it when the time comes. He secretly thought that if more reporters came over then, it would be easier to expose Dr. Zhou's deceptive tricks!
When Zhou Qiao is defeated, it's time for him to play!
He is confident that Veronica can recover to 60% of her pre-burn condition. If she performs better, 70% is not impossible!
Thanks for the tip "Growth is knowing that maturity is pretending not to know".
