Mr. Yang, 50, has undergone two surgeries due to recurrent pain and discomfort in his right ear for more than 8 years. A month ago, Mr. Yang suffered from discomfort in his right ear again, and the pain made it difficult for him to sleep and eat, so he came to the otolaryngology department of Longling County People's Hospital for treatment.
After completing the relevant examinations, Mr. Yang's right ear cholesteatoma** was considered, and if it continues to develop, not only will the pain worsen, and even the hearing will be lost, but also facial paralysis will occur, and serious complications such as intracranial infection and otogenic brain herniation will occur. After a remote consultation with Cao Xianbao, director of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, Mr. Yang was advised to undergo surgery immediately**.
On January 13, a difficult "right ear cholesteatoma resection + mastoidical modification + tympanoplasty + external auditory canal plasty" was carried out in the operating room of Longling County People's Hospital. This surgery is a fourth-level surgery in which the entire operation is performed under a microscope. Because the middle ear structure is deep, narrow and complex, adjacent to the brain and facial nerve, and the patient has a long medical history, after the first two surgeries, part of the middle ear structure was destroyed, the operation is difficult and complex, and each step of the operation is tantamount to "dancing on the tip of the knife". It lasted 2 hours, and under the skillful and precise operation of Director Cao Xianbao, and with the close cooperation of the Department of Otolaryngology and the Department of Anesthesiology of the County People's Hospital, the operation was successfully completed. On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Mr. Yang said happily, "My ears finally don't hurt, thank you so much." ”
The smooth development of the operation is another result of the in-depth cooperation between the Department of Otolaryngology of Longling County People's Hospital and the Department of Otolaryngology of the First Hospital of Yunnan Province, which not only facilitates the treatment of the people in the county, but also fills the technical gap of the Department of Otolaryngology. In the next step, the Department of Otolaryngology of Longling County People's Hospital will make full use of expert resources to strive to improve the technical level and better serve patients.
