Plague Doctor

Chapter 131: Leukotomy of the Cerebral Lobe

The first was Chen Wenwei's surgery, which was located in a Class I specially cleaned operating room of neurosurgery on the tenth floor of the surgical building.

Grade I is the highest level of air cleanliness in the operating room, with the lowest dust particles and the lowest bacterial concentration. It is suitable for surgeries such as brain and organ transplantation.

At this time, in the spacious operating room, Chen Wenwei, dressed in medical uniform, was lying flat on the operating bed on his back, as he was sleeping with full linen. Compared to early morning, the patient's younger face shriveled by a few points and her cheeks receded more prominently on both sides.

Anesthesiologists and nurses were waiting, and soon the clean corridor door was opened and a group of medical personnel in sterile clothes walked in.

Gu Jun walked in and looked at the surrounding light and fully equipped surgical environment. He felt a little bit and came back.

It's just... this isn't a simple stone road, but what's going to happen is even more barbaric.

“Patient's signs are stable.” The anesthesiologist Guo Jun, sitting next to the anesthesiologist, said to them, "The anesthetic still suppresses the patient's central nervous system. ”

Gu Jun looked at the electroencephalograph of the screen of the anesthesia monitoring system. The signal line showed that Chen Wenwei was in a deep hypnosis. The graph looked no different than normal people. But does it cause any stress in the body during surgery, and none of them have any experience here?

Standard surgical procedures for lobotomy stem from an era of poor conditions that do not guarantee accuracy and are the cause of illness.

But now there are more mature ways to work with more sophisticated imaging devices, such as precision targeting with MRI, which greatly improves the accuracy of surgery.

Resection of this site should still be used in cases of contusions, tumor lesions, etc.

Only because patients with nightmare disease are less immune and functional than before, even if they are still mildly ill, the surgical plan should take into account postoperative recovery. So the solution is to combine old methods with new technologies, which can effectively destroy the white matter in the brain lobe, and lower trauma.

However, the main knife, Ko Xian, Yilong Song and others, are all waiting in strict array.

Although each of these middle-aged men is the best neurosurgery specialist in the Eastern State Department of Medicine, not even four assistants. It is common practice to perform various craniotomy, but they lack experience in this barbaric way and cannot tolerate a single mistake.

“Let's do it as normal surgery.” Scott has encouraged everyone and himself.

Everyone is positioned next to the table - the neurosurgery has different positions, the main knife doctor is above the patient's head, the anesthesia machine is on the left, and the power system and the table are on the right. And Gu Jun was standing behind the device nurse some staring.

Meanwhile, the situation is being broadcast in real time on a large screen in a conference room on this floor, through a camera with no shadow lights above the operating table and multiple surveillance cameras around it, as well as on the research centre of the psychosocial building and the research institute at Headquarters.

Numerous researchers are watching in silence, Professor Qin, Tang Zhifeng and others are among them.

Soon, on each screen was the image of the beginning of the surgery. Chen Wenwei's head was fixed by a triple nail head and rotated 90 degrees to the opposite side of the surgical route. His hair had already been shaved off. The EEG sensing half-head mask avoided the surgery.

Blood runs, blood stops, they make scalp incisions, then subcutaneous dissections...

Gu Jun kept his eyes open in the distance. Before he came, he had read some information and attended the pre-op meeting just now, knowing what he was doing.

Each side of the patient's head will be drilled with a small hole, and each side will undergo surgery in three different locations.

At present, the main knife of Skull opens the temporal fascia, temporal muscle and periosteal layer with a unipolar electric knife, and then separates the corresponding small muscle flap under the periosteum, securing it with a pull hook, and the skull inside is exposed.

“Craniotomy.” The main knife doctor said the equipment nurse gave it to him.

Scott took a MidasRex craniotomy with a small drill bit in his hand and leaned over the patient's surgical skull, which is just above the ear canal, ready to punch the hole, which has been accurately calculated.

The loud electric drill sounded, while breaking the tranquillity of the operating room, command center and many other places, and the tense dark flow was pouring.

The operating room is full of old oil strips used to making skull openings. The least accustomed to it is Gu Jun. Hands and feet on the head are always colder than limbs.

He looked at the high-speed drill bit, which he couldn't see clearly, and bit through the patient's stiff skull...

Then Song Yilong used a scraper to clean up the bone debris under the borehole, and Sikou showed up with a "brain white matter cutter", which was like a large screwdriver with a pole hand attached to an elongated probe that reached into the brain, with an opening on the side and no tip.

But it has a wire ring hidden in its end opening, and as soon as the handle is pulled, the wire pops up under a pulling action and turns around, cutting off the nerve fibers.

At this point, Scorpion pushes the cutter probe from the borehole into the patient's brain, reaches a preset position and stops first.

Song Yilong took the probe from the surgical navigation system, and the computer screen next to him combined the MRI image data obtained in real time before surgery to show the brain condition in 3D images, allowing Scott to show the cutter probe position accurately.

“This is a Novo Prize surgery. ”

Scoe muttered, pulling the cutter handle, suddenly there seemed to be a click, the unseen wire ring popped up and blew one of the patient's frontal lobes...

This side completes one and there are two more positions.

The air in the operating room seems to be condensed and Gu Jun looks faceless, so what kind of brain damage can't really be predicted.

But he knew that if the treatment of nightmares did not progress, it would only be a start, and many more surgeries would be performed.

Bilateral ligament regurgitation, cerebral hemispherectomy...

Anyway, the medical department would cut a little bit of the patient's brain here, cut a little bit of it there, and see what happens.

This seems to be a humanitarian violation, but the patients have no choice, and neither do their doctors.

In the face of a plague where no cure could be found, for a moment they returned to that bloody, foolish old age.

Scott had not adjusted the disconnector properly, and suddenly, at this time, the alarm sounded thoroughly in the operating room, and one of them was worried that something had happened. Anesthesiologist Guo Junqi: “The patient's heart rate is too fast! The brain also deviates, which..." The data on the monitor screen is all messed up.

Instead of treating everyone, a strange whimper sounded from the patient's head.

“Ah." The device nurse first shouted, and the itinerant nurse and other people and doctors changed their face dramatically.

Chen Wenwei, with a hole in his head on the operating table and a cutter, suddenly opened his eyes and made a sound. The only thing in his eyes was cloudiness...

“Command Center, patient... patient awakened.” Scott's first reaction to the scene was also disgusting.

Although there is already a protocol for stress reactions in patients - that is just a change in function under anesthesia.

For a long time, very few patients have suddenly awakened consciously during various surgeries, felt pain, heard the voice of medical personnel, but were unable to move and speak. The patient was unable to control his muscles because the anesthetic failed, but also because of the muscle relaxant.

At this time, Chen Wenwei was able to open his eyes and speak.

“Wenwei?” The look on Scott's face stabilized and immediately asked: “Wen Wei, can you hear me? ”

But Gu Jun looked over there and there was a feeling of danger coming up quickly and strongly...

“Ph...” Chen Wenwei's body didn't move, his head didn't twist, but his face turned strangely pale, his eyes filled with blood silk like blood was about to bleed, and the weird sound of the sand continued to come out of his mouth, “nglui... nafh... Cthulhu...”

When Gu Junton glanced at me, I could hear it. That's what he said!

“Ph 'ngluimglw 'nafhCthulhuR 'lyehwgah 'naglfhtagn”

Almost at the same time, he felt a huge spiritual shock wave burst out of Chen Wenwei like a huge wave of tsunamis.

“Ah!!” Suddenly, the closest to Sikou Xian and Song Yilong screamed, their hands instinctively pressed the head of the explosion, the mask covered most of their faces instantly turned white, and their bodies were shaken.

Immediately thereafter, Second Aid, Third Aid, Fourth Aid, Anesthesiologist and Nurses, all but Gu Jun's paramedics in the operating room were flooded with intense pain!
