The spine is the central axis of the human body and is known as the "beam" that supports life. Because of this, spine surgeons are also known as people who "walk on cliffs" and achieve the miracle of life. Dr. Shi Yihua, director of the Department of Orthopedics of the First People's Hospital of Shanghai, is such a spine craftsman, who uses his "hard core" strength to stand up the backbone of life for patients.
On the first day of the May Day holiday, many people were busy going out to play and spend time with their families, but for Shi Yihua, this was just an ordinary day of his normal work in the 13 years of medical practice.
Shi Yihua, director of the Department of Orthopedics of the First People's Hospital of the city, said: "Today, a total of 4 lumbar spine surgeries were arranged, of which 2 were minimally invasive spine surgeries, which was our first at present, a lumbar open surgery, mainly lumbar four or five intervertebral disc herniation spinal stenosis, we today through this open surgery to completely decompress the nerve to achieve a good effect." ”
81-year-old Grandma Li is from Gucheng County and has suffered from a herniated lumbar disc for many years, and the disease of the lumbar spine has had a great impact on her life.
Grandma Li, a patient, said: "It hurts to lie on your back, it hurts to lie there, and doing MRI there hurts me to death, I really can't stand upright." Considering that Grandma Li is an elderly patient, the children are very worried about the effect of the operation, and they took Grandma Li to find Dr. Shi Yihua, who successfully removed the pain of the old man through minimally invasive disc nucleus pulposus resection of the lumbar spine.
Ms. Qiu, Grandma Li's daughter-in-law, said: "After the operation, I rested for two days, and now I can come down to eat by myself and take care of myself when I go to the bathroom, so the effect is really very good." ”
The spine is the backbone of the human body, concentrating a large number of important nerves, blood vessels and other tissues in the human body. In orthopedic surgery, spine surgery also has the highest technical requirements, and Shi Yihua has been deeply involved in spine surgery for 13 years, and has grown into a well-known orthopedic expert step by step. Shi Yihua said: "Although it may take a day and a night of surgery or do it in the middle of the night, when you have surgery, the next day, you can see that the patient can move, or after a period of time, this sense of accomplishment is incomparable, and it is also irreplaceable by other industries, which is one of the reasons why I studied medicine in the first place." ”
Shi Yihua is diligent in learning and research, good at observing the latest progress in the diagnosis and treatment of spine surgery at home and abroad, daring to pioneer and innovate, boldly introducing cutting-edge diagnosis and treatment technology to apply in clinical practice, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal degeneration, deformity, trauma and tumors and other diseases to achieve breakthrough development, so that the diagnosis and treatment of spine surgery diseases in Xiangyang and northwest Hubei have jumped to a new level.
Shi Yihua, director of the Department of Orthopedics of the First People's Hospital of the city, said: "We must always be on the road of learning, especially now that the spine specialty has introduced spine surgery robots, which are more precise and minimally invasive, can ensure the safety of each operation, constantly enrich themselves, improve themselves, so that they can become an excellent and qualified surgeon step by step." ”
Since he started as a doctor, Shi Yihua has been in the hospital regardless of holidays, and it is rare to have a hot meal at home, as long as the hospital calls him, he throws down his chopsticks and leaves. Of the more than 1,000 spine surgeries completed by Shi Yihua's orthopedic department in a year, more than 700 were completed by Shi Yihua, and the most surgery was performed in one day.
Fang Hao, the attending physician of the Department of Orthopedics of the First People's Hospital of the city, said: "At that time, Director Shi was going back to his hometown for the Spring Festival, and when he received a call, he immediately took a taxi to the hospital for surgery. ”
Shi Yihua, director of the Department of Orthopedics of the First People's Hospital of the city, said: "I chose the profession of doctor, I think I chose to pay, like we do surgery every year during the New Year's holiday, including the current May Day, as long as there is a patient, we are on the road, and we will not let the patient delay his condition, because the holiday is relaxing." ”
