Chapter 735: Archmage: Why is it so difficult to perform surgery on mice?! (Updated 10,000 words for update 2/3)
When it came to the step of doing the experiment, only Grete took it upon himself. He made the mouse lie prone on the experimental table, restrained it with a tranquilizer, raised the front chest, prepared the skin of the surgical area, disinfected it, and spread the towel;
First use [Detection Magic] to take a photo to find the exact position of the spine and ribs, and then start operating under the guidance of [Detection Magic];
Make a 1cm vertical incision on the right side of the midline, about 3m long, and carefully cut the skin. While cutting, throw away the treatment to minimize bleeding. Good guy, the rat's skin is really too thin. Fortunately, he has
My experience in cutting up rats...
After incising the skin, use the mage's hand to turn into a retractor to pull it open, and then incise the subcutaneous tissue. Expose the 8th to 13th ribs, and carefully peel off the periosteum to avoid damage to the periosteum with rich blood supply and heavy bleeding during the subsequent operation.
The next step is the most critical step. Using extremely fine steel wire made from stainless steel made by dwarves, the change magician pulls the wire into a wire and wraps it around the ribs, tightening...
"What are you doing?"
Archmage Morton couldn't help but take a step forward. Without raising his head, Grete pointed with his hand and used [Mage's Trick] to draw a bright yellow dividing line 30 centimeters away from the experimental table:
"Please keep your distance from the viewing platform. Thank you. I am making an animal model. Why do I do this? O'Neakin, please demonstrate it to the Archmage."
Anyway, there is no need for instruments and nurses handing over knives and scissors. Onejin has nothing to do, so he can go dance for the Archmage!
The dark gold skeleton came over in response. He tilted to the right in front of the Archmage, leaned forward, pinched two ribs with one hand, and pinched two more ribs with the other hand. He twisted his spine into a three-dimensional S shape.
"So that's it..."
The Archmage stared at the skeleton, thoughtfully. So in this way, by pressing and fixing the bones, can animals with artificial scoliosis be artificially created?
On the experimental table on the other side, Grete pulled the steel wire with his mage's hand and tried to tighten it... Well, you need to develop the habit of observing the platform and abide by the rules of aseptic operation. If you really want to see more clearly, you can also use secret methods
Eyes!
Crunch, crunch!
Well, under X-ray or [Detection Magic], the mouse's spine is slightly crooked.
Crunch, crunch!
Very good, it's a little crooked. But it's not enough, we need to work harder!
Bang!
"What's the matter, Mage Nordmark?"
Gretel looked up at him with a grimace. He accidentally broke the rat's ribs...
The bones of the mouse are too brittle and tender to withstand much strength!
Grete sighed and set the mouse's bones, straightened the ribs, cast healing spells to heal them, and wound them again. Crunch, crunch...
Yeah! Too bad, it hurt my lungs!
Grete hurriedly rescued the rat. The treatment was thrown away and the lungs healed. However, the blood pouring out of the lungs obviously caused the rat to suffocate. And Grete was able to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the rat.
cough……
"Mage Nordmark, may I help you with anything?"
"Give me another one T_T..."
This time, Grete became more proficient in the operation, and without rupturing his lungs, he successfully wound one set of steel wires, and then another set of steel wires. Then, he looked left and right, and measured the angle of the spinal curvature:
"..."
Not enough curvature...
Before it is bent to the required angle, the ends of the two ribs are already together!
Why is it so difficult to do basic research...
The distal ends of the two ribs were pressed together. It was obvious that the ribs were too long and could not be tightened. With no other choice, Grete had to take further measures:
Picking up the scissors, he cut off the end of the rib with a click. The two magicians beside him shivered, and Gretel seemed unaware. He applied bone wax, sealed the broken end, and then cast a healing spell to stop the bleeding and heal it.
alright!
Got it this time!
The steel wire was further tightened, and the bending angle of the spine successfully exceeded the previous result and was close to the amplitude required for the experiment!
Gretel took a deep breath, and based on the calculations he had made on Onekin before, he began to perform the next task to bend his spine to the right and then forward.
This time, a longitudinal incision was made on the posterior midline to expose the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. The spinous process of the lumbar vertebrae is wider, thicker and stronger than the thoracic vertebrae, and can bear more force. This is it!
Pass the wire through the spinous process...
Oops! The spinous process is broken!
Rats are really too small, and their bones are too small and tender. I don’t know when problems will occur!
Grete applied a Cleansing Technique on his forehead to wipe away sweat. Then, he set the bone on the spinous process of the rat's lumbar vertebrae, threw a healing technique to let it heal, then poked holes again, and threaded the wire again...
Finally, the two ends of the steel wire are subcutaneously connected to the 8th rib, 9th rib, 12th rib, and 13th rib respectively for fixed pressure to further aggravate the side bend. Look left, look right, look up, look down, [Endless
Ink pen] flying in all directions
Satisfactory inspection in all directions!
The spine bends to the right and forward, reaching the expected range! His hands are so accurate~
Turning their heads, the two magicians stood on tiptoes, holding their breath, and tried to look around. Gretel smiled at them:
"Wait a minute. I'm sure there's no problem and the healing is successful. Then I'll show you the results of the experiment. Give me a quarter of an hour!"
He carefully observed the mouse's condition. The life energy was normal. After this advancement, he was finally able to sense the intensity of the life energy. His breathing was normal, his heartbeat was normal, and his blood oxygen saturation was normal. Blood pressure?
Sorry, he doesn't know the blood pressure of mice because he doesn't have the technical accumulation.
In short, the mouse looks quite normal, and the operation can be completed. St. Normal saline, on!
Gretel repeatedly rinsed the wound and applied the treatment layer by layer to heal it. After the operation, he looked up and looked at the time...
Well, an hour passed by without even realizing it.
My cesarean section only took 15 minutes!
Gretel burst into tears.
Alas, when making animal models, there is no way to only make one. For example, his experiment started with at least 10 animals, not counting the one that died during the previous operation. If this method is confirmed to be effective, it will need to be dissected, treated, and
Made on larger animals…
The road is long and long, and I will explore it from top to bottom. Please improve your hands speed, or you can train two more surgical animals. It is really tiring to make dozens of animal models by yourself!
"Mage Nordmark, can we help?" Archmage Morton watched the entire operation of Gretel and volunteered:
"How many mice come here and we do it? Will it be faster if we all do it together?"
His students did not dare to say a word, but nodded frequently, saying "I can also help". Gretel: "..."
Can you do it?
Can you really do this?
I still have quite a lot of experience in surgery, but I have always struggled with my performance. Are you sure you won’t kill one of them if I do it, or if I do a hundred, I will die of a hundred?
Forget it, others have good intentions after all, and mice are not expensive. Gretel tentatively discussed with them:
"You will use adult male rats to do it first? They are bigger, so it will be easier to do?"
Archmage Morton was obedient. Grete set aside a separate laboratory and gave them ten adult male rats, each with a scalpel and a box of bone wax. Come forward bravely, Your Excellency Archmage!
As for retractors, vascular forceps, periosteal strippers, and other various surgical instruments, you can only ask the Archmage to change them with your own hands.
Anyway, Grete himself uses it this way, and it saves equipment costs, disinfection costs, storage costs, and an equipment nurse and a circulating nurse to check the numbers.
Then……
"Ah! Teacher, the mouse was stabbed to death!"
"Ah! Teacher, the mouse was stabbed to death again!"
"The mice smacked to death again..."
"Well, Master Nordmark, let's focus on magic..."
"To SS, please help me pass the first phase of the experimental plan and today's operation records to Mrs. Alva." After the day's work, Gretel was exhausted and ordered Taling:
"By the way, let me ask Mrs. Alva, how much experimental funding can be provided? The next stage of the experiment will be more difficult..."
Gretel rolled up his sleeves and toyed with these experimental animals. In addition to him, there were two spellcasters dedicated to serving this group of rats:
One is a priest of the Order of the God of Nature, a trainee priest. After entering the trainee stage, he has not been promoted to a formal priest for ten years. It can be said that everyone sheds tears when he hears it, and is sad when he sees it.
Elder Wood thought of many ways for him, and Pastor Matthew always took care of him. The final assessment was that "the road is crooked, so this guy can't sense nature." As a result, he was hired by Grete to take care of the animals, and he was doing well.
You are so leisurely;
The other one is a necromancer, who is responsible for supporting the nature priest, feeding animals, casting spells, and conducting dissections to determine the cause of death of animals. After working with him for a year, his level has skyrocketed, and he has advanced to a second-level mage.
Now, the two spellcasters stood side by side in front of Gretel, each holding a notebook and quickly recording Gretel's request:
"One cage for each rat!"
"yes!"
"Don't skimp on food and water, give them the best to facilitate postoperative recovery!"
"yes!"
"Rats are prone to stress after being frightened. Use more soothing spells. If your spells are not enough, ask Carlos and ask him to call for help!"
"yes!"
Grete thought about it and had no other suggestions. Next, let's trust their experience in taking care of animals. Anyway, the wounds of these rats have healed, and they will not die of anesthesia during the operation, nor will they die of infection...
…
Next, he spent all his free time day and night. In three days, he made ten rat animal models of scoliosis, and also made two more.
Unfortunately, two rats died. One of the reasons was unknown, and the other, after an autopsy, found that the wire broke and punctured the internal organs.
After waiting for ten days, Gretel came over every day and took an X-ray in the front and side views. The progress was very gratifying. The semi-adult mice grew rapidly, and the wedge deformation of the spinal vertebrae was already quite obvious.
The intervertebral space narrows and the convex side widens.
Yeah, okay, that’s it!
Next, dissection, pathological examination, and most importantly
Do a CT scan!
Who told him how to make the mouse behave so that he could finish the task?
