godfather of surgery

Chapter 558

Head nurse Cai is more prudent, so she thought of a way.

In the conference room, the red envelope was formally returned to Cui Xubing's wife Guo Liu, and the amount was counted face to face.

There are cameras in this interview room, and it is usually the place where doctors sign patients' surgery talks.

After head nurse Cai explained to Guo Liu, this woman is more reasonable than her husband, or, compared to her husband, Guo Liu's thinking is considered normal, she quickly understood what the head nurse meant, and after being grateful to the doctors and nurses, she accepted it and returned it. In the notebook prepared by the head nurse, write down the amount of the red envelope received by XX on a certain day of a certain year, and then sign it.

Guo Liu did not tell her husband about receiving the returned red envelope.

Cui Xubing thought that Yang Ping had already received the red envelope, and suddenly became much more cheerful, and no longer worried about this time.

His thinking is very clear: as long as Professor Yang doesn't accept red envelopes, there must be something wrong with the operation. Even if there is no problem now, there may be a very likely problem lurking in the future.

Now that Professor Yang accepts the red envelope, even if there are potential problems, Professor Yang will go all out. The money is equivalent to buying an insurance for his son.

Before, Cui Xubing looked left and right, and saw that the external fixator behind his son was not pleasing to the eye, but now no matter how he looks at it, this thing looks comfortable.

Thinking of three months later, my son can puff up his chest and be a man like a normal person.

Cui Xubing began to hum a song, but the humming was incomplete and extremely unpleasant.

On the 10th day, Cui Shukai had his stitches removed and was discharged from the hospital.

Cui Xubing and his wife are proficient in adjusting the knobs of the external fixator. Song Zimo asked them to take a clear video and send it every day when they adjust, so that Song Zimo can confirm whether they turned the knobs as required.

This is the first operation of the new technology, and it can only succeed, not fail.

Moreover, several other hospitals are waiting for the operation results of Sanbo Hospital, and Sanbo Hospital will accumulate a set of operating specifications for other hospitals to emulate.

Since the Golden Knife Award live broadcasted Lu Gang's surgery video, Sanbo Hospital has no shortage of scoliosis patients, and many difficult cases outside have been referred to Yang Ping.

Therefore, for such patients, as long as they agree to participate in clinical trials, Yang Ping will use the technique of external spinal fixation.

In just two months, forty cases have been accumulated.

These cases are enough to complete a paper and form a set of operating specifications.

Two and a half months after the operation, Cui Shukai conducted a re-examination in the local area, and sent the X-ray anteroposterior and lateral views of the entire spine to Song Zimo. A C-shaped spine was successfully straightened!
The spine is well-orthoped in three-dimensional space, and the physiological curvature of the front and rear is also successfully shaped.

None of the segments were fused, the function of each segment was preserved, and new bone was well formed in the gap opened by the osteotomy.

For the first time, such a severe scoliosis, with a Cobb angle of 176 degrees, was corrected so gently without any neurological symptoms.

Such an amazing effect!
Cui Shukai's X-ray was enlarged and displayed on the electronic screen in the doctor's office.

Even Song Zimo, who experienced the surprise of animal experiments, couldn't calm down for a long time.

Professor Zhang Zongshun is the pioneer of scoliosis treatment in my country. He carried out scoliosis surgery in the 80s. He also knows the wonderful application of Irizarov theory in limb orthopedics, but he did not expect it to be so successful in scoliosis orthopedics.

Director Han was also shocked, how long has Yang Ping been in Sanbo Hospital?

After more than a year, it was easy to come up with such a heavyweight scientific research result.

This is not a question of a new device, but of a radically revolutionized scoliosis treatment concept.

There are more than 6000 million scoliosis patients in the country, including 500 million primary and middle school students, and 30 new cases every year.

If this new technology can be promoted, how many cases will benefit.

In spinal surgery, the impact of this technology is undoubtedly far-reaching and extensive, it is simply an academic nuclear bomb.

Cui Shukai's severe deformity has been successfully corrected, and some of the dozens of other patients have also been successfully corrected, and the rest are on the way.

One after another, the X-rays were displayed on the screen, and each one had a good orthopedic effect.

Except for one patient who developed a pinhole infection, the other patients did not experience any complications.

For patients with pinhole infection, only one pinhole has mild infection, and the infection will be eliminated after the external fixation is removed.

Moreover, the infected patient did not regularly clean the pinholes according to the operating specifications, and showered the patient without authorization, which caused the pinhole infection.

Preliminary clinical experiments have proved that the new technology is very good in terms of efficacy and safety.

Director Han deeply understood the value of this new technology. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.I was glad that I knew and appointed people correctly at that time, so I kept Yang Ping and gave full play to his role.

Professor Zhang has practiced medicine for more than 50 years, and has never seen such a speed of scientific research. From the formal establishment of the project to the clinical application, it was completed in just a few months, without any detours in the middle, and the goal was completely achieved.

Which scientific research is successful is not exhausted, and it takes countless detours to succeed in the end.

And the real success is a minority, and most people can't find the right way, and they get hurt.

"This thing really straightens the spine?"

Professor Zhang didn't know whether he was excited or happy, but he said a very unprofessional remark.

Director Han nodded: "Indeed, we had osteotomy and fusion before, but now such an external fixator has been straightened abruptly in three months, and every segment still retains its structure and function intact."

"Tell me, why didn't we think it could be used for scoliosis when this thing was used to correct limb deformities?" Professor Zhang took off his eyes and took out a lens cleaning cloth to wipe them.

Director Han shook his head: "So what if you think about it, it's just a flash of thought, and it's too difficult to realize."

"Xiao Yang, you can work on a bigger project. If you are more courageous, you can do it freely. If you need any support, we will fully support you. Although I am old, I still have a bit of face in this circle." Professor Zhang felt that Yang Ping was a little If it takes more time to produce such a dazzling result in a few months, will it be of Nobel Prize level?

This spinal external fixator technology, if it is used in the past, if the surgery can win awards, this is also at the Nobel Prize level.

It’s just that with the development of the times, the Nobel Prize has higher and higher requirements for achievements, focusing on more basic and more valuable scientific and technological achievements.

"Xiao Yang is planning the project of cultivating muscle with stem cells. How about it? What do you plan to apply for?" Director Han remembered that Yang Ping had a bigger project.

"The scientific research plan has been written. I plan to raise my own funds for research without the government's funds, so as to save the time for declaration." Yang Ping had already planned this topic in his heart.

If there is no need for state funding, then it is simple, as long as there are no legal and ethical problems, research can be carried out immediately.

Director Han knows that the scientific research fund established by the hospital has received hundreds of millions of donations, which is enough to start this project.

What's more, the Anning Group expressed that it is willing to continue to provide funds for this scientific research fund.

For Anning Group, it is very easy to spend billions of dollars for charity to fund medical research.

What's more, they received donations from Jiang Baicheng, Bao Yulou, and Wang Changxin one after another, and now there are [-] million funds lying on the account.

At such a young age, Yang Ping did not expect to have such a strong appeal and so many entrepreneurs were willing to pay for him.

"Why, are they all there?"

Dean Xia laughed heartily.

"Oh, Dean Xia, why come here when you have time?" Director Han turned back.

Dean Xia came over and said, "I heard that Xiao Yang's clinical trials of new technology have been successful, so I'm here to join in the fun. Why don't we have a celebration party or something? Let's have a sense of ceremony."

"Forget it, Xiao Yang doesn't like such vain things." Professor Zhang spoke bluntly.

Dean Xia respected Professor Zhang very much: "I also mention it, Xiao Yang doesn't like this, I know it, you see, I'm not just here to join in the fun."

"Little Yang, the surgical robot hasn't been approved yet. We have to wait. The hospital already has two Dimensities, plus one Da Vinci, and there are already three robots. It is more difficult to apply for the fourth one. The higher-ups have to take care of other hospitals. application, so it has not been approved for a long time, and I am going to lobby again." Dean Xia expressed his apology.

Some things are true, and he is not the only one who has the final say. This kind of tens of millions of equipment has the approval authority, not the hospital.

The money in the hands of the above is not for the Sanbo Hospital, and there are still many hospitals without robots, so the above naturally has to consider a lot.

"Old Xia, let me tell you, if you don't feel ashamed, how about letting Xiao Yang handle this robot by himself?"

Director Han said directly.

Dean Xia disapproved: "My old face is worthless, what more face do I need, but I have already planned to transfer one from the orthopedics department for Xiao Yang's use, and the orthopedics department will squeeze in, one is enough."

"Don't be like this, Dean Xia, don't worry about this robot, I'll take care of it myself, how about it? I know you're trying your best to meet our needs."

It is very simple for Yang Ping to build a surgical robot with his current appeal.

He didn't want to come across as aggressive and overpowering.

The two robots at the Department of Orthopedics were in good use, and they were suddenly transferred. Although everyone was willing, they still felt uncomfortable. As the dean, Dean Xia had no choice but to do so.

"How embarrassing to let you solve it yourself." Dean Xia really felt owed.

Professor Zhang spoke more bluntly: "It's all up to us to support. I'm afraid we can't keep up with the pace. Xiao Yang's next project is to cultivate muscles with stem cells. Without the 3 million scientific research funds, how can you get so much money? These three Didn't Yi come here specifically for Xiao Yang?"

Dean Xia patted himself on the neck with his big hand: "Hey, what Mr. Zhang said is that we have some things that we have more energy than energy."

"So I said, as long as we people don't tie Xiao Yang's hands and feet, we can give him the greatest support. There are risks in doing big things, and there are risks in scientific research projects. We take these risks together. This is support. There is more support for changing money.” Professor Zhang’s words are very frank.

Dean Xia took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone is here. I, Xia Changjiang, will be the dean for a day. I should take this risk. Xiao Yang, you can run with confidence."

The clinical trials of Yang Ping's new technology inevitably have risks. Once a dispute arises, it is more difficult to deal with than ordinary medical disputes.

Although written in black and white, all kinds of informed consent are clearly written, but there are still many risks, and the dispute is still a dispute.

The first batch of clinical trial cases in Sanbo Hospital was a complete success.

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang worked overtime to compile the operation specifications of the entire operation, including perioperative management, operation, and prevention of complications.

The operating specifications and case materials will be compiled into a book and a CD-ROM attached, and distributed to Xiehe, Shanghai No. [-] Hospital, and Nandu Fuyi.

These three hospitals will start large-scale Phase II clinical trials in accordance with the norms.

News of the success of the first-phase clinical trial of the spinal external fixator spread like wildfire. Johnson & Johnson, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Medtronic, Smith & Nephew and other giants got the news almost at the same time.

Johnson & Johnson's Hans is the most sensitive to this matter, and the acquisition of Ruixing is imperative.

If the acquisition cannot be made smoothly, it can only be suppressed. Relying on the strength of Johnson & Johnson's world's first brother, suppressing a mere Ruixing is simply smashing an egg with a stone.

Hans is confident that as long as the headquarters supports him, he guarantees that Ruixing will not last for a month.
