God-level academic master: My knowledge is the sum of all my students’ knowledge!

One week later. In the most advanced operating room of the First

Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, the first head transplant in human history is about to begin.

The entire operation will be broadcast live for medical colleagues to watch.

The live broadcast room of the head transplant operation is pinned high on the live broadcast platform of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University.

Of course, users who watch the live broadcast must be doctors or medical students.

Ordinary netizens are not eligible to watch.

At this moment, tens of thousands of doctors or medical students have already poured into the live broadcast room.

The doctors are all making comments.

“Head transplant surgery? Am I seeing right? Professor Chen is going to challenge the world’s most difficult surgery?”

“Head transplantation has always been regarded as something that can only happen in science fiction and mythology, and it is simply impossible to do in reality!”

“There are four obstacles to overcome in head transplant surgery, namely, central nervous system regeneration, immune rejection, brain cryopreservation and prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury, and logical issues. Have these problems been overcome?”

“A head transplant requires cutting off the spinal cord. How can we successfully connect the millions of severed spinal nerves one by one?”

“I hope the operation will be successful. If successful, it will bring new hope to many paralyzed and disabled people!”

“A head transplant can save lives! Regardless of whether this operation is successful or not, Professor Chen and the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University have made history!”

……

While everyone was discussing.

Chen Yu, wearing a surgical gown, came in front of the camera.

He introduced to the live camera:”The patient suffers from spinal muscular atrophy and cannot take care of himself.

At present, this disease cannot be cured, and life can only be sustained by drugs.

After the hospital communicated with the patient.

The patient chose to try a head transplant surgery to become a healthy person. The body donor was an immune phenotype brain-dead patient with matching body structure, blood type, gender and tissue.

The whole operation is divided into two parts.

The first part is the head anastomosis, and the second part is the spinal cord fusion.

According to the preoperative plan, the operation lasted 36 hours and involved 100 people. The

100 people were divided into two surgical teams, including doctors, nurses, medical assistants, medical assistants, and psychologists.

Now, the body temperature of the patient and the donor has dropped to minus 15 degrees Celsius.

Thereby slowing down the rate of cell death and reducing the body’s metabolism.

This operation has been approved by the Medical Theory Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University.

Without further ado, the operation officially begins!”

……

Under the watchful eyes of all the doctors in the live broadcast room,

Chen Yu first cut open the skin, muscles, blood vessels, bones and other tissues around the patient’s neck.

Then he used a particularly sharp knife to separate the patient’s head from the spinal cord.

The incision was very neat, which was convenient for the subsequent suturing of the spinal cord.

On the other side of the operating table, the donor’s head and spinal cord were also separated.

The movements of both parties were smooth and seamless.

Sun Ou, director of neurosurgery, quickly sent the patient’s head to the operating table next to him.

Then, Chen Yu used artificial blood vessels to connect the donor’s body to the patient’s head.

……

The doctors in the live broadcast room all breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

The first step of the head transplant surgery,”head anastomosis”, had been a complete success.

But they soon became extremely worried.

The most difficult part of the head transplant surgery is spinal cord fusion!

When the spinal cord was cut off previously, millions of spinal nerves were also cut off.

Now they need to be reconnected one by one!

If not all of them can be reconnected.

Even if the patient survives the operation, he will still be paralyzed.

Then the meaning of the operation is completely lost.

……

On the operating table,

Chen Yu is connecting spinal nerves one by one.

In the HD live broadcast, doctors watching the live broadcast can clearly see that the anterior spinal vein, posterior spinal artery, posterior spinal vein, posterior external spinal vein, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal nerve and other spinal nerves are connected one by one.

Medical assistants, through 3D printed models, kept telling Chen Yu the specific spinal nerves to be connected later.

At the same time, the first assistant is injecting induced pluripotent neural stem cells into the patient’s spinal cord.

This type of stem cell can build a”bridge” for the separated spinal nerve endings, making it easier to connect nerves.

The second assistant is using a glue-like substance called polyethylene glycol to fuse the spinal wound surface, promote stem cell meshing, and make many spinal nerves adhere.

The third assistant is using a large amount of composite tissue immunosuppression therapy drugs to effectively protect the central nervous function and solve the problem of anti-rejection.

While the operating table is busy, the medical staff cooperate with this operation wholeheartedly.

As time goes by, the chief surgeon Chen Yu was replaced.

Other neurosurgeons who were full of energy went on stage to connect the spinal nerves.

The first assistant, second assistant, third assistant, nurses, medical assistants, etc. were also constantly rotating.

Because the surgical scene was relatively scary, the psychologists constantly relaxed everyone during the operation to avoid negative emotions.

……

In the live broadcast room, the doctors were stunned!

Is there any operation like this?

Logically speaking, it would take 11 days to connect one nerve per second with millions of spinal nerves.

Can the patient last 11 days on the operating table?

Obviously impossible!

Therefore, the consensus of the medical community is that the head transplant operation cannot be completed!

They are very curious.

First, why do you need to inject induced pluripotent neural stem cells?

After the injection, why do bridges appear at the nerve endings of the spinal cord to facilitate nerve connection?

Second, why do you use polyethylene glycol to promote stem cell meshing?

From the perspective of the live broadcast, the speed of spinal nerve adhesion is much faster than that of the surgeon Chen Yu!

With the cooperation of the three parties

, it is really possible that all the millions of spinal nerves can be connected!

Isn’t this incredible?

Is it possible that the head transplant operation can be successful?

Thinking of this , the doctors were very excited!

Of course, no matter how excited they were, they couldn’t stare at the live broadcast screen all day long.

Watch it for a while when they go to work in the morning.

Watch it for a while when they get home from work.

One hour passed… on the live broadcast screen.

It is still the scene of doctors connecting spinal nerves.

It may seem boring, but it marks a milestone in modern medicine!

……

More than 30 hours later.

The last spinal nerve was successfully connected.

At this time, the chief surgeon Chen Yu was carrying out the final finishing work.

The finishing work is suturing.

Although it is not difficult, you cannot relax.

He began to sew the patient’s head with the muscles and skin of the new body.

In addition, the patient’s blood vessels, nerves and esophagus also need to be sutured.

Suturing work directly affects the patient’s postoperative recovery.

After all the links were completed.

There was extremely warm cheers in the operating room.

Many nurses even burst into tears.

This first head transplant operation in human history is really too difficult!

Millions of spinal nerves, each of which must be connected.

But with the successful completion of the operation.

All the hard work and fatigue are worth it.

Professor Chen Yu of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University has made history!

……

Before the head transplant surgery, the medical staff of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University had questioned more than once whether the head transplant surgery could be successful.

Even during the surgery, doubts filled their minds.

Fortunately, the result was smooth!

A week before the surgery,

Chen Yu spent some time every day teaching the doctors, which benefited them a lot.

Because of this, the doctors, whose medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds these days, were able to work with Chen Yu to perform this surgery together!
