See the news that in 2017 China will be the world's first human head replacement surgery. I was completely shocked, and now the medical level is so developed? Medical theory is mature, the actual operation of the technical difficulty of how much grasp.
According to reports, the operation will be operated by the Chinese medical team, and the patient is also a chinese.Such an operation would require the selection of a dead body, and the head of the patient who was operated on, to connect the two. Surgery needs to be limited to 12 degrees Celsius environment, in order to prevent cell death due to hypoxia.Doctors said that in order to reduce the surgical trauma, he will use a sharp knife to cut the spinal cord, and polyethylene glycol connection.This chemical can promote cell fusion, stimulate the growth of the spinal cord, so that the head and the new body. Stem cells play a key role here.
This kind of surgery has caused a lot of controversy, and some researchers said that the current medical level is not enough to operate such an operation, some experts feel that the operation lacks theoretical support.
Regardless of the outcome, this is a very difficult thing to do in the medical profession, which is very important for medical research and clinical research. Try to be a positive and bold attitude, academic research on the basis of scientific theory should be recognized and respected.
Finally, I hope that the operation will be successful, so that doctors can save more patients.
