Chen Chen stood in the spacious and bright operating room holding a tray of medical instruments.
Looking at the girl's slender back on the operating table, Chen Chen's eyes were calm.
So calm that it feels like you are not looking at a person of the opposite sex, but an object, an animal, or even a corpse...
Gently stroking the girl's smooth back, Chen Chen took one last look at the BIS machine.
On the BIS machine, the EEG bispectral index has been hovering between 50 and 55, showing that the girl is in a state of deep anesthesia.
After making sure that there were no other problems, Chen Chen picked up a No. 10 scalpel.
Previously confirmed by CT, the specific injury site of the spinal cord was marked. It was the 19th section of the spine. A section of the spinal nerve in the medullary cavity suffered hemorrhagic necrosis due to external compression.
It was this short section of necrosis that blocked nerve signals from the brain when they were transmitted to the legs, causing the girl in front of her to sit in a wheelchair for ten years.
Fortunately, thanks to good care and continuous targeted epidural electrical stimulation (EES) and other auxiliary treatments over the years, the girl's leg muscles and nerves have always remained intact, and there has been no atrophy or necrosis.
At this time, a cross-shaped mark was marked in the middle of the 19th section of the girl's spine. The mark was about 1cm long and 0.5cm wide, which was exactly where Chen Chen needed to move.
Chen Chen raised the scalpel, held it like a pen, and slowly cut along the cross-shaped mark. The incision was neither deep nor shallow, and had just reached the dermis.
Suddenly, traces of blood seeped out from the severed capillaries and quickly gathered together, showing a strange bright red against the ivory white skin.
Outside the operating room, Samuel couldn't help clenching his fists.
He had also asked to participate in the surgical process before. After all, he had performed various facial surgeries before, so being an assistant was more than enough.
However, this proposal was rejected by Chen Chen.
According to Chen Chen, as a relative of the patient, Samuel would only hinder him in the operating room without any help.
At this time, Chen Chen stopped the cutting action and took out an expansion forceps to stop the bleeding and open the wound. Then he picked up a sharper No. 11 scalpel and began to cut the dermis.
In this way, layer by layer was cut, and Chen Chen's hand did not pause at all. Every cut was made just right, as if he had been immersed in this operation for decades.
From Samuel's point of view, the entire operation was like an art, an art with his daughter as the stage...
Gradually, it seemed that even Samuel's emotions were infected by Chen Chen's techniques, and his fists slowly relaxed.
In the end, Chen Chen successfully avoided blood vessels and nerves, avoided muscle fibers, and completely cut to the end of the operation.
At this time, a piece of bone wrapped by periosteum was exposed on the girl's back, which was the spinous process and transverse process of the 19th vertebrae. Inside this bone was the necrotic spinal nerve.
At this point, Chen Chen picked up the X-ray film and took a look at it again, confirming that there was no problem with the position, and then took out a bone marrow puncture needle.
Fixing the bone marrow puncture needle on the holder, Chen Chen held the needle in his right hand, rotated it left and right at a vertical angle, and penetrated into the bone layer bit by bit.
When he felt that the needle penetrated the bone layer, Chen Chen stopped what he was doing, pulled out the puncture needle again, and punctured it again a few millimeters away.
It wasn't until two sixteen small holes were drilled side by side in the spine that Chen Chen stopped what he was doing. Then he picked up a pair of tweezers and picked out a chip the size of a fingernail in the disinfectant. .
Corresponding to the position of the spine, the sixteen electrodes on the chip were inserted into the sixteen small holes of the spine.
Next, Chen Chen used bioadhesive glue to fix the chip on the spine, and then began to suture the wound layer by layer with biological thread.
From Samuel's position, he could only see Chen Chen putting an object into his daughter's body. As for what it was, he didn't know.
About half an hour later, Chen Chen finally straightened his back and let out a gentle breath.
At this time, a tiny cross-shaped wound appeared on the girl's back. The wound was very small. Although it was still a little red and swollen, no one could have imagined that this wound would reach as deep as her spine.
When Chen Chen pushed the girl out of the operating room, Samuel couldn't wait to walk up. He first checked the girl's pupils and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was normal.
"The operation has been completed. As for the effect, I personally think it is very successful." Chen Chen said.
"Is that black thing at the end God?" Samuel suddenly asked, "Don't try to deceive me."
"It's not God, it's just a simplified version of God."
Chen Chen took off his gloves and said calmly, "It won't have any impact on your daughter's life."
"Damn it!"
Hearing this, Samuel suddenly became angry. He grabbed Chen Chen's collar and shouted loudly, "I never said I wanted her to join the organization. If she is involved, I would rather she never stand up for the rest of her life." !”
"Samuel, please calm down, I won't do anything to her." Chen Chen slowly stretched out his hand and gently pinched Samuel's wrist.
Then, Samuel suddenly found that the young man in front of him was exerting a desperate force, as if an iron pliers were clamping on him!
The extreme pain hit, and Samuel felt that his wrist would be completely crushed in the next second. He had to bend over and howl, and his face turned the color of pig liver due to too much exertion.
Opening Samuel apart bit by bit, Chen Chen kept a calm expression, "That chip is not irremovable. It will take up to two years for the stem cell engineering of the tissue to mature, and then your daughter can remove the chip."
"Of course," after thinking for a while, Chen Chen added again, "If you don't mind your daughter getting out of bed two years later, I can also take out the chip for her now."
Upon hearing this, Samuel fell silent while rubbing his wrists.
"I know you can guess that the chip is God. After all, the working principle of God is in the agreement, and I don't want to hide anything."
Chen Chen continued to explain patiently, "But there is nothing we can do about it. Although the organization has made major breakthroughs in the field of stem cells, it is still in the clinical experimental stage after all. I think you don't want to let your daughter act as a guinea pig." ?”
"Therefore, the best solution is to use a simplified version of the God chip first and let your daughter stand up. After two or three years, the stem cell technology in the tissue will be completely mature. Then you can naturally remove the chip and let your daughter stand up. She became a completely healthy person."
"after all… "
Chen Chen paused and then directly penetrated Samuel's heart, "How long do you want your daughter's youth to be wasted?"
“…”
After hearing this, Sam lowered his eyes dejectedly, falling into a painful decision in his heart.
After a long silence, Samuel seemed to have made up his mind. He stared into Chen Chen's eyes and asked again, "Can I believe you?"
Chen Chen nodded and replied:
"You have no choice."
