Thrilling! Harvest peppers during busy farming seasons, long hair rolled into agricultural machinery... Lucky! The doctor performs a "magic trick" for 13 hours to re-implant the scalp

On October 14, Ms. Zhao, 54, in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, was collecting peppers in her home field, and when she bent down and bowed her head, she was accidentally caught in her long hair by an agricultural machinery working on the side, and she tore off her entire scalp in an instant. After being urgently sent to Shenyang for treatment, the burn plastic surgeons of the General Hospital of the Northern Theater of Operations stayed up all night for more than 13 hours to operate on him, and finally successfully implanted the scalp. On October 25, Shenyang Evening News and Shen Bao all-media reporters met Ms. Zhao, who had been transferred from the intensive care unit back to the general ward, and her family told reporters about the thrilling experience of the day.

Treatment is too difficult To come to Shen for medical treatment urgently

Ms. Zhao's daughter introduced: "On the morning of the 14th, my mother was working in the field, the machine was beating peppers, my mother was picking peppers next to the machine, and when she bent down and got together again, the turban and long hair were rolled into the machine. Mom held her head and fell to the ground, and when the family came to see, her head was full of blood, and her hair and scalp were all 'rolled' off by the machine. The family rushed her to the local hospital in Tongliao, and due to the difficulty of treatment, the doctor suggested that she be sent to Shenyang as soon as possible. After going to several hospitals, at more than 15:00 on the same day, Ms. Zhao entered the emergency department of the Northern Theater General Hospital and the Peace Branch, and was eventually admitted to the burn plastic surgery department of the hospital.

Liang Jiulong, chief physician of the Department of Burn Plastic Surgery, introduced: "The patient is a serious scalp avulsion injury, the entire scalp including hair, eyebrows, upper eyelids, temporals, the back of the head, part of the ears and other parts are all torn off, the skull is exposed, and when he comes to the hospital, he has lost at least two or three thousand milliliters of blood and is in a state of shock. Moreover, at that time, the family mistakenly thought that the scalp had been crushed by the machine and could not be used, so they did not bring the scalp to Shenyang together. In fact, even if the scalp is broken, there may be a part that is available, and it is necessary to bring the detached tissue to the hospital together. Subsequently, Ms. Zhao's family rushed the shedding scalp from Tongliao to Shenyang. Fortunately, the torn scalp is relatively intact and can be used for replantation as a whole. Scalp replantation surgery began at about 20:00 on the same day, at this time it had been 12 hours since Ms. Zhao was injured.

Overnight surgery saves people The scalp is successfully replanted

How difficult is it to treat such a large and deep bone-seeing scalp avulsion injury? The reimplantation lasted all night, until about 9 o'clock the next day, after 13 hours. Liang Jiulong said: "The blood circulation in the scalp part is rich, there are many blood vessels and nerves, there is no pulsation after blood loss, you can only rely on the doctor to search for the wound little by little, find it and then anastomose it under the microscope, which is very time-consuming." There is also a section of blood vessel in the temporal region that is so badly damaged that it is difficult to fit together, so we take a small section of the blood vessel in the patient's foot and bridge it on the temporal area. Fortunately, the scalp of the patient after surgery is well transported. "At present, the patient has been out of danger, the scalp has survived smoothly, he can speak normally, drink water, and it is expected that he will be discharged from the hospital in about half a month."

Liang Jiulong reminded: "In the same period last year, we also received a case of serious injuries that also caused scalp tearing due to the curling of hair by agricultural machinery, in addition, there are also patients with injuries and disconnection of fingers, noses and other parts, so it is necessary to remind the people that during the busy agricultural period, we must pay attention to safety and use agricultural machinery carefully." ”

Doctors advise that once there is a body tissue injured and broken, it is necessary to learn to deal with it correctly: the bleeding site of the injured person is pressed to stop the bleeding; the broken tissue is placed in a dry bag, the outer bread is a layer of cotton or cloth, and then the outer layer is placed with ice cubes or ice cream to cool down. Care should be taken not to let the frozen matter directly contact the skin of the broken tissue, otherwise it is easy to make the skin frostbite and cannot be replanted.
