Recent.
Mr. Ye, who lives in Bay Town, is very worried.
I have been suffering from headaches for more than a month
And he often speaks without words
When I was on the phone with my granddaughter** the other day.
His granddaughter, who is a medical student, discovers his abnormality.
Thought immediatelyGrandpa may have had a brain problem
At the urging of his granddaughter, Mr. Ye came.
Neurosurgery at Fengxian District Central Hospital.
Sure enough. After a CT scan of the head.
Found. Intracranial mass, unknown in nature
People are always at a loss for the unknown.
Mr. Ye is no exception.
To ease his anxiety.
Director of the Department of Neurosurgery Feng Dongfu.
Patiently analyzed the condition to Mr. Ye.
Indicates that a cranio-enhanced MRI is also required.
to further clarify the specific situation of the lesion.
It was found after examination.
Mr. Ye was hidden deep in his brain2 lesions
And. Both of these lesionsLocated in an important functional area
Craniotomy may result.
Hemiplegia of the limbs, comaand other serious consequences.
But no surgery is performed.
Histopathology cannot be obtained.
The nature of the disease is not clear
Considering that Mr. Ye is already seventy years old.
Director Feng Dongfu suggested that minimally invasive surgery could be done.
Determine the nature of the lesion.
Provide the basis for subsequent **.
But Mr. Ye has a lesion in the skull.
All are located in the deep vital functional areas of the brain.
What is more difficult is the small size of the lesion.
The maximum diameter is only1.5 cm
This is equivalent to being only the size of a fingernail.
For such a small lesion.
Conventional minimally invasive surgery is difficult to ensure that the lesion can be accurately reached.
And. The lesion is located next to the lateral ventricles
Once inside the ventricles.
May cause tumor spread or ventricular hemorrhage.
will lead to serious consequences.
The human brain is about 1,000 milliliters in size.
And the lesions only2-3 ml
It is necessary to accurately obtain the lesion without affecting the dysfunction
Undoubtedly, there are high requirements for surgical operations
How to solve this tricky problem?
Neuronavigation can do it. Director Feng Dongfu said that the Department of Neurosurgery of Fengxian District Central Hospital has introduced the international advanced optical and magnetic integrated StealthStation surgical navigation system, which can guide doctors to accurately reach any part of the brain like GPS satellite navigation.
A few days later. Director Feng Dongfu conducted it for Mr. Ye.
The first neuronavigation-guided biopsy of deep brain lesions in Fengxian District.
The surgery went well.
Bleeding is only a 3 cm incision.
The diseased tissue was successfully retrieved.
On the second day after the operation, Mr. Ye was able to get out of bed and move.
And there were no new dysfunctions either.
Postoperative pathological diagnosis confirmed astrocytoma.
Mr. Ye was discharged from the hospital a few days later.
Follow-up synthesis according to pathological diagnosis**.
Minimally invasive, precise and real-time trackingare the three highlights of neuronavigation. Before the operation, the image guidance space is established through preoperative image data such as CT and MRI, and the position relationship between the surgical instruments relative to the brain tissue and the lesion site is tracked and displayed in real time with the help of an optical or magnetic field tracker during the operation, so as to guide the operation of the doctor and ensure the safety of the operation.
The neurosurgery team of Fengxian District Central Hospital has carried out dozens of various neuronavigation-based cranial surgeries, including intracranial tumor resection, lesion biopsy, intracranial hematoma (including brainstem hematoma) puncture and drainage, etc., fill the gap in this technology in Fengxian District.
