"If I knew that there was such a good medical team in Guangzhou, I would have come over a long time ago, I didn't dare to think back to the 3 months of 'hard days', the pain made me uncomfortable, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, now I have finally cured the disease, I am relaxed, I must cherish my health more and enjoy my retirement life!" After successfully completing minimally invasive cerebral aneurysm embolization surgery and cervical spine minimally invasive surgery in the Second People's Hospital of Panyu District, Guangzhou, 3,800 kilometers away from home, Sister Haas (pseudonym), who had been suffering from illness for 3 months, finally showed a comfortable smile.
The doctor patiently examines the patient.
For three months, the pain was unbearable, and he sought medical treatment to no avail
The 77-year-old Haas is a Mongolian who has lived in the steppe since she was a child, and her cheerful and optimistic heart is her calling card. But 3 months ago, the sudden onset of shoulder pain made this cheerful eldest sister fall into the ice hole, "like bundles of iron sticks piercing your shoulders and hands, you can't sleep all night", for the pain, the eldest sister can be said to be fresh in her memory.
Sister Haas, who is eager to treat the disease, has traveled to many local hospitals, some say it is the pain caused by shingles, some say it is the sequelae of the new crown, some say it is cervical disc herniation, painkillers, closed needles, inpatient physiotherapy ......I have tried various solutions, but I have always treated the symptoms but not the root cause. The eldest sister's son, who was far away in Guangzhou, was also anxious, and after inquiring and learning that the Second People's Hospital of Panyu District had experts in this area, he hurriedly contacted his mother to go to Guangzhou. After getting off the plane, there was no time to go home and settle down, so the mother and son went straight to the Second People's Hospital of Panyu District.
Small wounds solve big problems and remove two major diseases within a week
After carefully interpreting and discussing the results of Sister Haas's examination, Han Xueming, director of the Department of Orthopedics and Juqing, director of the Department of Neurology of the Second People's Hospital of Panyu District, patiently explained to the patient that the severe symptoms of radiating pain in the upper limbs were due to the nerve root sleeve cyst resisting its nerve root outlet. At the same time, in the preoperative examination results, it was found that the artery in the brain of Sister Haas had an aneurysm, if the cervical spine surgery was rash, once the aneurysm ruptured during the operation, there would be irreparable consequences, so the aneurysm needs to be performed first before cervical spine surgery.
Considering the pain symptoms of Sister Haas and the need for follow-up as soon as possible**, the team of the director of the Department of Neurology, Juqing, decided to complete the minimally invasive embolization of the left middle cerebral aneurysm through radial artery puncture, and the operation was successfully completed. Due to the use of stents in the operation, Sister Haas needs to take drugs every day after the operation to inhibit platelet aggregation and avoid the formation of thrombosis at the surgical vascular site, but the bispecific antibody** increases the difficulty and risk of the second cervical spondylosis surgery. In the medical world, it is common to wait for a period of observation after aneurysm surgery before performing a second cervical spine surgery, but Sister Haas, who is so tormented by the pain that she can't sleep at night, can no longer wait. After fully perfecting the entire perioperative plan, only 4 days apart, Sister Haas was pushed into the operating room again, and Han Xueming, director of the Department of Orthopedics, led the team to successfully complete unilateral double-channel neck 6 7 lesion resection + spinal canal decompression surgery.
1.5 hours of cerebral aneurysm embolization, 4 days between operations, 2 hours of minimally invasive surgery of the cervical spine, 2 ml of blood loss. In 1 week, 2 surgeries, under the careful diagnosis and treatment and intimate care of the Department of Orthopedics and Neurology of Panyu Second Hospital, Sister Haas ended her 3-month painful torture. For the trust of patients to "seek medical treatment for thousands of miles", the Second People's Hospital of Panyu District handed over an answer sheet that satisfied patients. On the day of his discharge, Haas's son sent a pennant to the hospital to express his gratitude.
Patients praise the doctors for their precise treatment.
