Datang United Medical Center.
Hearing that Li Zexuan was going to cut open the little boy's abdomen and directly remove the purulent intestines, Xuanqing couldn't help but scream in surprise even though he had seen strong winds and waves.
Sun Simiao, who was standing not far away, also heard Xuan Qing's exclamation. He immediately turned his attention here, wanting to hear Li Zexuan's explanation.
Li Zexuan said sternly: "Uncle, this method of cutting open the human body to remove lesions is not the original creation of my disciples. In the past, Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor, used Ma Fei powder to make patients unconscious many times, then opened the abdominal cavity, cut out the ulcers, washed away the filth, and used He sutured with mulberry threads and applied divine ointment. The intestinal carbuncle and suppuration that this child suffered from was caused by a disease in the blind tube between the cecum and the ileum. It can be completely cured by removing it!"
In modern society, when it comes to surgery, people always subconsciously think of Western medicine, because in people's eyes, ancient Chinese medicine only has the illusory Yin-Yang and Five Elements, unpleasant decoctions, and the magical acupuncture. Surgery seems to have nothing to do with Chinese medicine. No, actually it’s not!
As early as the late Eastern Han Dynasty, an outstanding doctor had performed many "surgical operations". This doctor was Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo was proficient in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was best at surgery and was called the originator of surgery by future generations.
Hua Tuo's medical skills have always been popular. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he could already perform surgical operations to open the abdominal cavity, and then used needles and threads to suture, which is exactly the same as modern medical skills. The book said: "If the disease is in the intestines, the intestines will be cut, washed, and sutured." The abdominal plaster rub lasted for four to five days, but there was no pain, and the person did not worry about it. He recovered within a month.… There was another person who suffered from pain in the middle part of the abdomen, and for more than ten days, his temples became swollen. Tuo said: 'That's right. If the spleen is half rotten, the abdomen can be cured by cutting off the abdomen. If the abdomen is broken and the spleen is half rotten, cut it off with a knife, scrape off the bad flesh, apply ointment to the sore, drink it with medicine, and then the spleen will be cured. The sun will be restored."
Under the backward medical conditions of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo was able to perform spleen removal surgery, which shows his superb medical skills. The "Ma Fei Powder" he invented is also the world's earliest purely traditional Chinese medicine surgical anesthetic. It boils and dissipates, and in a moment it is like being drunk to death without knowing anything, because it is broken and taken away."
Hua Tuo's Ma Fei Powder can make the recipient feel drunk and unaware of anything during the operation. He was the first person in the world to use anesthesia for surgery, nearly 1,600 years earlier than Europe!
Therefore, surgery is not a patent of Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has been around for a long time, but it has been gradually lost in modern times!
"Is there still such a thing?"
Xuanqing murmured in confusion, but seeing Li Zexuan's words of faith, he couldn't doubt it, and thinking of the many magical things about Li Zexuan, Xuanqing finally chose to believe Li Zexuan:
"In that case, let's get started! You said earlier that you need Daozhang Sun and I to cooperate during the treatment. If you need us to cooperate in the future, just ask!"
Time was urgent. Seeing that the little boy's complexion was getting worse and worse, and he could no longer bear the delay, Xuan Qing did not hesitate and made a decision quickly.
When Sun Simiao saw this, although he was puzzled by Li Zexuan's method of rescuing people, he didn't say much after all.
"good!"
Li Zexuan nodded in response, and then brought Xuan Qing to the hospital bed. He said with a serious face: "Uncle, Master Sun, when I am going to remove his intestines later, the most important thing is to prevent bacteria from invading his body, Master Sun. Come and help disinfect his wound with alcohol, little uncle, I will draw the position in a moment, and you come and apply the knife~!"
In the history of world medical care, the first person to propose the term "appendicitis" was the American doctor Fitz. In 1884, Swiss surgeon Krenre performed an appendectomy on a 17-year-old boy. It is said to be the first appendectomy in the world, but unfortunately the operation was unsuccessful due to wound infection.
The first truly successful appendectomy was performed on a 26-year-old patient in 1887 by Philadelphia surgeon Maulton. Although his surgical conditions were very simple, he had already considered factors such as bacterial infection and used soap and water to clean the wound. It is not known whether he used anesthesia.
Although Li Zexuan does not have sterile surgical conditions like modern hospitals, compared with the conditions when Philadelphia surgeon Mao Dun performed an appendix removal operation in 1887, the conditions here at Datang United Medical Center are not much behind, and there is sterilization. The alcohol used includes special pills that can make people fall into coma and lose their sense of pain, gauze that has been steamed and sterilized, and sterile rubber gloves specially used by doctors. In addition, there are miracle doctors like Sun Simiao and Xuan Qing. With such a half-step master master of both medicine and martial arts watching over the situation, it can be said that this surgical operation to remove the appendix still has a very high probability of success!
"good!"
Regarding Li Zexuan's arrangements, Sun Simiao said he had no objections for the time being.
A moment ago, Xuanqing was secretly thinking about the bacteria that Li Zexuan just mentioned (after all, he was not from Yanhuang Academy, and he had never used a microscope), but at this moment, he was suddenly entrusted with an important task by Li Zexuan. He was surprised to pick He raised his eyebrows and asked calmly:
"Why do you want me to do it~?"
Li Zexuan replied solemnly: "Uncle Master, your level is higher than that of my disciples, and you are more stable than my disciples in wielding the sword. Moreover, in terms of control of strength, you are ranked second here, but no one dares to be ranked first!"
Xuan Qing was speechless for a while after hearing this. He thought it was his first time to perform surgery on someone else. Li Zexuan asked him to do such a difficult thing as soon as he came up. This is really...
In this moment, Ge Qingyue had prepared the knives, gauze, alcohol and other things needed for the operation according to Li Zexuan's request. Li Zexuan asked the other observing doctors in the hospital to step aside and free up the space near the hospital bed. He came out, then sterilized the knife with alcohol and handed it to Xuan Qing, who had just put on latex gloves:
"Uncle Master! Give it!"
Xuan Qing couldn't help but show hesitation. After all, it was okay for him to fight with a knife, but now Li Zexuan asked him to cut open a child's abdomen with a knife. This was a bit cruel no matter how you think about it!
But after only hesitating for a moment, Xuan Qing reached out and took the scalpel, because he knew that the method Li Zexuan mentioned was probably the last resort to treat the little boy, and he had read all kinds of medical classics. I have indeed heard various legendary stories about Hua Tuo.
"good!"
Xuan Qing took the scalpel, looked at the motionless little boy lying on the hospital bed, turned to Li Zexuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, please point out the position of the knife!"
"Uncle, wait a moment, I'll give him some anesthetic first!"
Li Zexuan brought a cup of hot water and walked to the hospital bed. Sun Simiao carefully helped the little boy up. Li Zexuan took out a red pill from the porcelain bottle, fed it into the little boy's mouth, and drank it with water.
After a while, Sun Simiao personally grabbed the little boy's hand and checked his pulse. "The breathing is even and the pulse is steady. The child is sleeping very deeply. As for whether he has lost his sense of pain, I don't know~!"
Li Zexuan looked back at Du E and saw that the latter was looking expectantly at the little boy lying on the bed. A rare trace of tenderness flashed through his eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded to Sun Simiao and Xuan Qing and said, "Start the operation." ~!"
After giving the order, Sun Simiao immediately began to wipe alcohol on the surface of the little man's right lower abdomen to disinfect it expertly, while Xuan Qing held his breath and concentrated, waiting for Li Zexuan to designate the location for the knife.
The appendix, also known as the lumbrical process, is a slender, curved blind tube located on the lower right side of the abdomen, between the cecum and the ileum. Its root is connected to the posteromedial wall of the cecum, and its distal end is free and atretic. The range of movement varies depending on the person. The appendix varies greatly, and affected by the mesentery, etc., the appendix can extend to any direction in the abdominal cavity.
Li Zexuan pressed his fingers on the boy's lower right abdomen, recalling in his mind the human body structure diagram he saw in the biology textbook in his previous life. He had never studied medicine in his previous life. Although he learned some medical skills from Master Lingxu in this life, it did not involve the human body. His predecessor knew nothing about the internal structure, so Li Zexuan could only roughly determine the location of the appendix based on the human body structure diagrams he saw in his previous life.
But relying on this alone is obviously not enough. While trying to remember, Li Zexuan's powerful mental power was fully unleashed. His whole body was like a radar that was sending radio waves. The "radio waves" penetrated the skin and flesh, reached the inside of the stomach, and passed through The intestinal reflex returned to Li Zexuan's mind! Soon, the structure under the little boy's abdomen began to form some vague shapes in Li Zexuan's mind!
This is a very mysterious feeling, but it is far from the level of looking inside the body as written in fantasy cultivation novels.
Combining the human body structure diagrams in modern books that he recalled in his mind with the fuzzy shapes detected with his mental power, Li Zexuan finally determined the location of the little boy's appendix. He pointed to a location on the little boy's abdomen and said to Xuan Qing:
"Uncle Master, cut three inches down from this place. Pay attention to the propriety. Once you feel the tip of the knife piercing your belly, immediately withdraw your force. Do not stab the intestines inside~!"
This sword very much tests the operator's control of strength, so Li Zexuan handed over such a difficult task to Xuan Qing.
"Okay~!"
Xuan Qing's eyes were focused, and the light in his eyes flashed away. At this moment, all the energy and spirit in his body was condensed on the tip of the scalpel, and his mind was empty. After placing the scalpel at the position pointed by Li Zexuan, , with almost no hesitation, he exerted a slight force on his wrist, and the tip of the knife pierced his belly!
Ge Qingyue, Dr. Qin, Dr. Wang and other doctors from Datang United Medical Center who were watching on the sidelines opened their eyes in shock and covered their mouths with their hands. They were afraid of accidentally shouting. , will affect Xuanqing's knife use.
Xuan Qing actually used Li Zexuan's shocking method to save people. No, was he saving people or killing people? No one can give an answer until the operation is completed!
"Quick! Quick! Stop the bleeding!"
"Scissors! Bring the scissors!"
"Alcohol! Where's the alcohol? Disinfect the wound quickly!"
"Get the needle and thread quickly! Sew up the wound!"
… …
As Xuan Qing stabbed the knife, the entire "operating room" immediately became busy. When things came to a close, Li Zexuan realized that there was not enough manpower, so he had no choice but to ask Ge Qingyue to come over and act as a temporary "nurse". Under his command, everyone gradually became orderly and orderly from being slightly panicked at the beginning.
The first surgical operation in the Tang Dynasty took place in such a room, and was slowly performed under the control of three of the world's top doctors!
