Chapter 1043

Chen Ang's adjusted surgical position is unique. Strange observed a clear and clean surgical field of vision before he realized that he didn't notice when Chen ang adjusted the patient's surgical posture, but the surgical field of vision with hook and window can clearly observe the patient's brachial plexus.

Ivory white nerve, thin like silver wire, thick like tendons, surrounded by thin-film sheath.

The black fungus is linear and has grown into the thin-film sheath. The black fungus is entangled with the nerve. It parasitizes on the nerve. The black vein spreading on the ivory nerve is particularly conspicuous. It was even creeping slowly, making strange's scalp numb.

The brachial plexus is composed of most of the anterior branches of the fifth to eighth cervical nerve and the first thoracic nerve. It passes through the oblique muscle space, runs behind the subclavian artery, and enters the armpit behind the clavicle.

The fibers of the five roots of the brachial plexus first synthesize the upper, middle and lower trunks. The hair branches of the three trunks form the medial, lateral and posterior bundles around the axillary artery. The branches from the bundles are mainly distributed in the upper limbs and some superficial thoracic and dorsal muscles. But now the fungus infected by the wound has taken root in the medial, lateral and posterior fasciculus. On one side, it spreads from the three trunk hair branches to the brain, and on the other side, it develops to the thoracodorsal nerve, long thoracic nerve, axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, median nerve, radial nerve and ulnar nerve.

The main nerve roots have been infected, and the thinnest part of the black line of fungal infection has developed to the nerve branches of upper thoracic limb muscle, superficial dorsal muscle and deep cervical muscle.

If the fungus infects the nerve endings, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the whole upper limb of the patient will be controlled by the parasite.

But now we can't care about the upper limb nerves. Going up along the three trunk hair branches is the most complex brain pool area of the brain. The brain pool is located at the bottom of the brain. It is a complex area where the brain, brainstem and cerebellum intersect. The complex and precise neural activities here are the most important and fatal area of the human body.

It can be said that although it is important to operate on the cerebral cortex and lobes, even if the operation fails or some brain tissue is accidentally removed. It doesn't matter much. The patient won't die right away. At most, there are some sequelae of stupidity, mental retardation and slow response. At worst, becoming a vegetable (vegetable) can also make the attending doctor get rid of the relationship for a long time.

There is enough time and reason for doctors to shirk their responsibilities with various excuses.

Therefore, this part of the brain has been used as a variety of important medical breakthroughs, such as the notorious anterior lobectomy in the last century, and the mental patients who have removed most of the anterior lobes are not living very healthy? And quiet, docile like small animals, so that this operation is known as the dawn of curing mental illness.

This sensational achievement until people found that the reason why mental patients did not fall ill was because they lost the ability to fall ill, because they became semi vegetative, and the most essential ability of human beings to distinguish from other animals - thinking, was deprived! When this therapeutic mechanism was discovered, the operation was declared illegal.

However, the cistern and lobe of the brain, which could be used to brush the results in the last century, were different. Before the creation of micro neurosurgery, it was called a restricted area. The mortality of using a knife here is basically equivalent to a terminal disease.

It is also because microsurgery has broken through the restricted area of the cistern that it is qualified to be called the crown of surgery.

As a former neurosurgeon who is proud of his career, feels deeply honored and takes it as his lifelong career until his hands are disabled by a car accident and have to be transferred to a legal profession, he certainly knows the thorny position. From the risk of fungal parasitism on the nerves, once it spreads to the brain pool, the nerves are enriched there, Basically, the rescue can be declared invalid.

He had to remind Chen ang: "we must first stop it from spreading to the brain pool. Once it reaches the cerebellar medullary pool and anterior medullary pool, it can infect the brain stem and brain plexus at the top and spread to the spine at the bottom. If the infection reaches this level, it is basically hopeless!"

Chen ang calmly observed the fungus and said, "OK!"

Strange said nervously, "we have to rush for time... Are you still in the mood to say 'OK'?"

Chen ang answered calmly: "it's really good... Fungi haven't developed neural plexus. They are still simple neural structure. It can be seen that they parasitize on human nerves and let them imitate human neural structure, but they haven't continued to develop... It's really lucky. It's done this time!"

Strange was very anxious when he watched the fungus spread on his nerves. Out of his professional confidence, he had to question: "I think the situation is very bad... Once the fungus infects the brain, we can declare the patient dead!"

"Young man, be calm. The situation is not as bad as you think!" Chen ang said calmly.

Strange jumped his feet anxiously: "isn't that the worst? What's worse than that when we sit and watch things go to the worst?"

"In my surgical career, it's easy!" Chen ang said with emotion. "There are many more unlucky things than it. For example, the discovery of nerve plexus on infected fungi proves that fungi can not only make simple neural responses, but can 'think' and carry out complex neural activities... That's even a more difficult situation."

"It will make a more complex response to your behavior."

Trange understood Chen Ang's words. It was because he understood him that he felt afraid. Once fungi can carry out complex neural activities, the most optimistic situation is that they are "smarter" than a brain parasite. They don't know anything about this fungal parasite, how it will respond to external stimuli, and what stimuli related drugs will produce on it.

Strange couldn't help sweating and said, "this is really a worse situation!"

"What's that?" Chen ang sneered: "Don't forget, these fungi come from the highly intelligent alien race. Before the operation, I was ready for it to develop a complex nervous system. The better ones only have the IQ of dogs, and the worse ones can reach the level of six-year-old children like dolphins. Think about it. If the fungi on the nerves have the thinking ability of six-year-old children..."

Strange shuddered. It was an impossible operation. The operation was an extremely precise and precise work. What doctors hated most was variables, and a six-year-old child parasitized on the patient's nerves. This was no longer a variable - it was a disaster.

Chen ang, while exposing the brachial plexus more in the field of vision, sighed: "although fungi have higher intelligence and are difficult, in my experiment... No, it is not the most difficult in my surgical career."
