Recently, Professor Yuan Xianrui, a neurosurgeon from Xiangya Hospital, received a handwritten letter of thanks from Inner Mongolia. The letter was seven pages long and was entirely handwritten by the patient. The letter is a brain tumor patient who underwent surgery in Xiangya 8 months ago and is now doing well. "It was Xiangya and Professor Yuan Xianrui who gave me a second life. In the letter, the patient sighed: the disease is not terrible, the key is to find the right doctor.
Mr. He, who lives in Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia, was found to have a rare intracranial tumor, a nerve sheath tumor in the jugular foramen area, during a physical examination in March 2023. He didn't dare to delay, and immediately set off to Beijing to seek medical treatment, and found a well-known expert, but was told that the operation needed to make an appointment and queue, and it was expected to wait for half a year. Mr. Ho, who wanted to have surgery as soon as possible, asked around, "hoping to find a reliable specialist, and the waiting time for bed surgery is not so long." After information search, combined with the recommendation of netizens, Mr. He found Professor Yuan Xianrui of the Department of Neurosurgery of Xiangya Hospital, "The industry and netizens respect Professor Yuan, and it is like grasping a life-saving straw for a while."
On March 27, Mr. He met Professor Yuan Xianrui at the neurosurgery clinic of Xiangya Hospital. Professor Yuan carefully inquired about Mr. He's condition, and combined with the results of imaging examination, it was found that Mr. He's intracranial tumor was relatively large, with a size of 59*3.7*3.0 cm, and has protruded into the jugular foramen and grows out of the skull. The worst result is that the jugular vein and other nerve adhesions are too tight and cannot be completely resected, and symptoms such as facial paralysis, deafness, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, and tinnitus will occur after surgery.
Professor Yuan told me the risks and worst results of the surgery in person, which made me feel at ease. Mr. He recalled that Professor Yuan's promise that "as long as you ask me to do it, you must be my master, and my team and I will do our best" gave him a reassurance.
In mid-to-late April, Mr. He was admitted to Ward 35 of the Department of Neurosurgery of Xiangya Hospital and learned that the operation was scheduled for a week later. Appointment**, consultation, numbering, admission examination, preparation for surgery, everything went smoothly, and Xiangya's efficiency made Mr. He feel very warm. On April 24, the day of the operation, considering the complexity of the patient's condition, Professor Yuan Xianrui specially arranged Mr. He in the first place. With the efforts of Professor Yuan Xianrui and Dr. Yuan Jian's team, the operation was successful. In the evening, Professor Yuan Xianrui, who had undergone surgery for a day, came to the ward to inform the family of the news of the successful operation in person, so that the family could rest assured.
After the operation, Professor Yuan Xianrui and Dr. Yuan Jian visited the ICU many times, and Mr. He cheered him on. After being transferred back to Ward 35, Mr. Ho recovered smoothly under the meticulous care and care of the medical team. After being discharged from the hospital, except for a slightly hoarse voice, Mr. He did not leave any other sequelae and now lives a normal life.
When I was most helpless and hesitant, it was Xiangya and Professor Yuan Xianrui who gave me the confidence to face the disease with me. Choosing Xiangya and Professor Yuan Xianrui is the greatest blessing in my misfortune." Mr. Ho said.
