Give a new lease of life to a vivid ear

Zhang RuHong is to an artificial ear " Work with great care " . Chen ZuLiang


Artificial ears are very lifelike. Yesterday morning such as ZuLiang Chen, 8 -year-old Hai Zi (assumed name) Have stared at the nurse at one glance ruthlessly, does not allow her to lift up the hair in one's own right side really, because it is incomplete to bury him under that " The secret " --The right ear has the earlobe size of perfecting ears only, though still can hear the sound, but enough to make him unable to straighten one's back in the face of life.

He is wrapping a long hair throughout the year, the temper becomes more and more unbending, sensitive, attempt to be close to his strangers to any all outside dose " Vigilance " . A few days ago, father in Haizi took him to the ninth plastics of the People's Hospital of Shanghai, hope to change the destiny of Haizi. Under father's advice, got nurse nearer at last in Haizi, and agreed to enter the strange operating room, there, he has kicked and anaesthetized doctor's a kick ruthlessly.

From " dumpling " Ears reach carving ears smartly

In this way, the operating room of nine courtyard plastics welcomes the patient of odd-shaped disease of an small inborn ear again. In 7 years, successively made ears for more than 500 patients here. Make herein " Ears " ,The ones that had just had a facelift in the other scientific cirle by world and regarded as succeeding in had judged one of the standards not long ago.

How to let ears given a new lease of life to be vivid, the other difficult problem of scientific cirle of having a facelift all the time. And the morbidity of crowd of odd-shaped disease of the small inborn ear is up to 1/3000. "Nobody can precise to prove pathogenic reason still, suspect until heredity, environmental factor, mother pregnant and early to keep in touch the chemical material is correlated with. " Nine Wu of institute near to make investigation at this point while being sweet-smelling, in a shoes-making village in Wenzhou, the odd-shaped morbidity of small ear is very high.

Can be in the past, " ears " which China makes The artificial intensity is very low, the doctors say, can only be called " dumpling " at most . Until 2001, Zhang RuHong of nine courtyard plastics did not see a " work with great care " at the academic meeting in France Artificial ears. "Really very beautiful. " RuHong Zhang search the all literature of professor subsequently, he find foreign doctor think independently and innovation ability domestic doctor very difficult to reach. "They dare to think, dare to do, dare to try, because of their faith, only for the fullness life resuming the patient. "

The detail determines patient's life quality

Give Haizi technology of giving a new lease of life to ears, come from this French professor's experience. The operation takes two steps together, the first step is to install ears, after the second step will wait until half a year, let new ears be getting stereoscopic. Yesterday, what Hai Zi did was the first operation containing ears. The operation is gone on at the same time by two groups of doctors. A group of doctors are responsible for intercepting some rib cartilages from the sea daughter, the second group of doctors transforms the odd-shaped right ear, the epidermis tissue stripping the right ear, reserve the space for new ears.

After the 40 minute, operating room seem turn into process workshop, RuHong Zhang sit at stool until cartilage that take out work with great care in the the intersection of sea and daughter. Sound ears have three layers of tissues, he needs to superpose the cartilage for three times. Before the skill, the doctors perfected the left ear according to Haizi to make a plastic template. The size of new ears, the crooked radians of auricle, all mould in view of the above. RuHong Zhang park than facing toward, the scalpel in the hand is carving the cartilage meticulously, even people were commonly called as " Small ears " Have carved out. And this detail, is ignored abroad.

"It makes ears to be than detail, we emulation produce 10 structural details of ears, this is the most in the whole world. " The more really Zhang RuHong think the detail, the higher patient's life quality is.

Carve, work, last 40 minute again, cartilage it is getting kind for ears to carve. The doctors put it into the epidermis to organize, sewed up subsequently, inserted two thin and thin tubes in new ears at the same time. The function of these two tubes is the air that is collected in the new ears, once the air is taken out, the skin of Haizi is on immediately tightly " Wrapped up in " The cartilage lives, doctor's ears detail after working with great care thereupon appears one by one. "Its principle releases the vacuum to compress the cotton-wadded quilt to be the same with us now. "

Magical magic power of ears

A vivid ear becomes out in this way. During subsequent half a year, the wound of the right ear of Haizi will heal, the inherent blood supplt network can be set up too. At this moment, the doctors can implement the second stage of operation for him, it is to cut the position of auricle, a support is put in the root of the ear cartilage, let ears " stand " Stand up.

Such ears have magical magic power: One mother of patient make a mistake the intersection of true and false and ears once, another persons of little girl love the intersection of Zama and the intersection of tail and pigtail while being postoperative. In nine institutes, after the patient waiting for ears to have a facelift has already ranked by 2, even a 78 -year-old old lady hopes to do the operation, realize a long-awaited dream of hers.

"I remember the first patient letting me do this kind of operation so far, have done for 6 hours totally that time, but he is without a murmur. " Through 7 years, the operation time to give a new lease of life to the whole ear has already been reduced until 2 hours. On March 1, Zhang RuHong publishes the thesis in the internationally acknowledged authoritative periodical " magazine of American plastics " of plastics even more, get the whole ear out of lead to the fact China of the work judge the standard and then in the world for the first time.
