When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Upon hearing Chen Cang's words, the medication was quickly prepared!

Everything was orderly, as if it had all been arranged in advance.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tongpu nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad, really not bad!

As long as it's under control, these special situations aren't considered unexpected.

But for Zhou Hongguang, he actually didn't feel a thing, the only feeling was... panic!

People are like this, when not on the operating table, they talk a big game.

Saying things like they'd rather die than become disabled or whatnot...

Most people on the operating table desperately want to live!

What's better, a good death or clinging to life?

That's exactly it!

The instinct to survive determines this.

Soon, the facial twitching disappeared, and after Wu Hui checked once more, he said affirmatively:

"The puncture is correct, we can continue!"

Hearing this, Chen Cang nodded immediately.

The next step was to create a brain lesion.

Essentially, it's about creating a lesion in the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus, targeting the main area currently known to stimulate body tremors with electrical or thermal stimulation to create a lesion.

Preventing abnormal stimulation, thereby achieving the goal of preventing hand tremors!

This was one of Chen Cang's research results!

But it still needed improvement!

Hu Chuanbang and Zhao Furun exchanged glances:

"What's he talking about doing?"

"I don't know!"

"Is he going to destroy the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus instead of stimulating it?"

"That can't be, right? Even though the nucleus can cause finger tremors, completely destroying it might not prevent tremors, right?"

Hu Chuanbang's eyes widened in disbelief!

A surgery isn't simply cutting out the problematic area just because there's an issue!

That's utterly impossible!

The ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus controls the whole body's limbs and muscle rigidity, etc...

Simply destroying it might cause more damage!

What exactly was Chen Cang planning?

No one knew!

No one could see!

This was a stereotactic surgery for Parkinson's, where a long brain needle was directly inserted, relying solely on feel for operation!

This required a high degree of precision from the operating surgeon!

Likewise, such an operation was definitely not just about destruction.

Now, everyone's mind was a mystery.

No one knew what Chen Cang's next step would be!

If Parkinson's surgery were that simple, it would have been solved long ago.

It's been dragged out because it's difficult to move forward with the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus.

This place can't be destroyed!

So what should be done?

And at this moment, Chen Cang directly manipulated the brain needle!

Using the method of radiofrequency thermocoagulation, selecting solidification at 75°C for 80s!

However, controlling this distance and the operation required precision to 0.1 millimeter!

Exactly!

This required the surgeon to repeatedly speculate, study, and practice!

Chen Cang held the needle in his right hand, appropriately adjusting the needle tip position, with the target point for tremor-focused patients located at the posteroinferior part of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus.

This was Chen Cang's surgical experience!

But, damage must not be caused to surrounding areas.

A slight mistake may exacerbate muscle rigidity, and even cause tremors on the ipsilateral or contralateral limbs!

This was why Chen Cang said, even he couldn't guarantee it.

Because the nucleus itself was tiny, and coupled with not being able to see, it relied on this precise stereotactic technology.

It required the surgeon to have sufficient understanding and control of this technology!

Time ticked away second by second!

No one dared to relax.

Wu Hui understood the difficulty, even his breathing was cautious, afraid of disturbing or affecting Chen Cang!

Chen Cang needed to maintain a state of high precision for a duration of two minutes!

During these two minutes, no carelessness or distraction whatsoever was allowed!

Because they had been warned beforehand, everyone held their breath, silent!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Zhou Hongguang, not Chen Cang!

His hands were still continuously trembling!

This was the main manifestation of Parkinson's, continuous tremors.

Even during surgery, it never stopped!

At this moment, Chen Cang even wanted to close his eyes.

Unfortunately, when a person closes their eyes, the sense of space decreases, so Chen Cang dared not do so.

With the help of sensory gloves, Chen Cang seemed to feel a subtle difference.

He cautiously maintained this state!

Right now, Chen Cang suddenly felt that if there was a highly accurate instrument, it seemed it would be more accurate and successful than his surgery!

From the initial targeting instrument and coordinate calculation, to the puncture, it all relied on his control.

The greatest advantage of humans is creating the impossible!

But it also means instability!

And such a surgery, incidentally, requires stable operation.

Chen Cang felt he should seek investment from major companies to develop a surgical robot for Parkinson's.

Of course!

This might be highly challenging.

It would require joint efforts of various operations, accompanied by support from technologies like MRI, PET.

Except for big manufacturers, ordinary people really couldn't do it.

Just then, as the brain needle in Chen Cang's hand was controlled under radiofrequency thermocoagulation, the stable temperature of 75 degrees started to take effect!

At this moment, Wu Hui, who was watching the surgery, suddenly noticed in surprise that Zhou Hongguang's hand tremors began to ease!

It really eased!

His previously continuously trembling hands suddenly seemed to pause, with significant changes in both frequency and amplitude!

Effective?

Was it really effective?

Thinking of this, Wu Hui couldn't help but become excited!

A bit thrilled!

It's magical.

It really worked!

Professor Chen really did it!

The treatment for Parkinson's...

Wu Hui really didn't expect that Professor Chen's first clinical Parkinson's surgery would actually yield significant results!

Success!

It must be successful!

50 seconds…60 seconds…70 seconds passed since the start…

As time was about to reach the target, Chen Cang was also preparing to withdraw.

And at this moment, Wu Hui suddenly felt a surge of joy, because he clearly saw a miraculous scene!

Stopped!

No movement!

Really no movement!

Zhou Hongguang's hands stopped trembling!

Did Professor Chen really succeed?

If this succeeds, it definitely means a major leap in the history of Parkinson's treatment!

This is a milestone victory.

Successful!

Wu Hui was somewhat excited.

And at this moment, the surrounding people also saw this scene.

"It stopped! It really stopped!"

"Yes, it really stopped, this… Professor Chen did it!"

Seeing this scene, everyone got excited.

It's magical.

Wu Tongpu stood wide-eyed, looking at this scene, not knowing what to say!

Muttering to himself: "Holy crap, merciless!"

Indeed, Chen Cang was really incredible!
