She crossed 1400 kilometers to Han to seek medical treatment, and the team of Xiehe experts "dismantled"

Wuhan Evening News July 19th (Correspondent Nie Wenwen Peng Jinxian) From Yinchuan, Ningxia to Wuhan, Hubei, it is difficult to stand and walk, Liu Yan (pseudonym), spanning 1400 kilometers, and came to the orthopedic department of Xiehe Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology. With the joint efforts, she successfully demolished the "timing bomb" of the third thoracic spine -invasive hemangioma. Recently, Liu Yan has resumed her leg muscles and was discharged smoothly.

Standing and walking difficulties, Yinchuan women go to Hanqianli for medical treatment

Since October last year, Liu Yan, a 50 -year -old Yinchuan patient, suddenly felt pain on her back. Then, her two legs began to be weak, and their muscles sometimes trembled uncontrollably and accompanied by numbness. After examination in the local hospital, Liu Yan found that invading the hemangioma had invaded her third thoracic spine and immediately received the nearly half year of local radiotherapy, which was poorly effective. In the past month, her condition has been increasing, and it is difficult to stand and walk.

Liu Yan's family inquired many parties and went to Xiehe Hospital, who had been well -known for a long time away from the orthopedics.

"Patients have severe neurological symptoms, and surgery needs to be performed as soon as possible to help the patient's later rehabilitation." Professor Shao Zengwu introduced that after further precision examination, Liu Yan suffered from the third thoracic hemangioma and spinal cord injury. The tumor growth was dangerous. , Infringe the entire vertebral body and accessories, compress the spinal cord in the spinal canal, and spread to the vertebral body.

The Liu Yan family learned that the operation could relieve the disease, and the heart of her stubbornness finally fell.

After surgery, X -ray shows that the thoracic vertebrae cement is well filled.

Two and a half hours of surgery "disassembled bomb" for patients

According to reports, this "timing bomb" on Liu Yan's spine is not simple. The risk of invading hemangioma bleeding is high. In conventional surgical methods, once bleeding during surgery, it may detonate the "bomb" and even endanger life. What is even more tricky is that the patient's spinal cord has been severely compressed and spinal cord injury is prone to occur during the operation. If the operation is accidentally, it will cause paraplegia. Therefore, the precise formulation of the surgical plan and the preparation of the pre -surgery are even more important.

On July 6, the team of Professor Shao Zengwu performed surgery for Liu Yan. Before surgery, in order to reduce bleeding during the removal of vertebral and spinal canal decompression during the operation, they intervened in embolism for tumor blood vessels. During the operation, while monitoring neurological function in real time, it prevented spinal cord injury; while using an ultrasonic bone knife to carefully remove the vertebral plates to reduce the risk of nerve injury. In the end, the patient's nerve was completely decompressed and then filled with the bone cement of the vertebral body to fix the spine. Surgery is less bleeding, which takes only two and a half hours.

The patient recovered well after surgery, and presented a brocade for the Xiehe Orthopedic team.

Liu Yan recovered well after surgery. Professor Zhang Zhicai of Orthopedic Department introduced, "The patient's lower limb feels quickly recovered, and the muscle strength increases from level 3 to level 4 or more.

"It's not painful now, and the legs can be gone!" Liu Yan said happily, now he can easily walk home.

It is understood that the orthopedic department of Xiehe Hospital has continued to break through in the diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumor. Tumor resection and 3D printing half -pelvic prosthesis reconstruction, limbs and pelvic huge tumor resection and reconstruction surgery, many patients in other provinces go to Han for medical treatment every year, with an annual surgical set of more than 2,000 units.
