Medical equipment craniotomy

There was a big fire TV series Sima Yi before, and everyone may have seen it. In the TV series, Cao Cao said, "I wish I had killed Hua Tuo!" It has almost become a network term, so why did Cao Cao kill Hua Tuo? It was because Cao Cao had a stroke in the head and the pain was unbearable. He knew that Hua Tuo had the power of an imperial doctor, so he had to treat himself. At that time, Hua Tuo said to Cao Cao: There are two solutions to your illness. One is to relieve it: you need to live in seclusion and stop asking about current affairs. Quick solution: you need to cut the skull with a knife and take out the saliva from the stroke, and you can recover. Cao Cao exploded as soon as he heard it! This is to kill me in the name of treating diseases, so Hua Tuo was executed. The generation of imperial doctors has fallen!

Later generations often say that Cao Cao was suspicious by nature and committed suicide in the name of treating diseases. It's really confusing

But what we are going to discuss today is, if Cao Cao agrees to open his head, will Hua Tuo succeed?

First of all, let's not argue whether Hua Tuo will succeed. Let's see what kind of operation craniotomy is now: craniotomy is also called craniotomy. The doctor will open the patient's brain with mechanical tools and then perform the operation. Careful friends will find "mechanical tools". By the way, in fact, people's skulls are very hard and need to be cut with precision instruments, and the strength cracks should be accurately grasped. If you are not careful, the intracranial tissue will be damaged. Meat cleaver, saw blade or small axe? Let Cao Cao's men see Hua Tuo cut on the boss's head. I can't imagine what kind of scene it is! Don't laugh!

Second, some people may say that the ancient people were superior in wisdom and were born with divine power, so maybe they cracked their skulls open! Well, let's assume that the craniotomy was successful. As modern people, we all know that the most important thing in surgery is to be afraid of infection. Now the operating rooms are all disinfected. So how could Hua Tuo find a sterile environment at that time? Besides, Cao Cao's great hero will not be so unlucky to be infected. All right, let's keep watching!

Third, we neglected craniotomy tools and bacterial infection. As far as we know, patients are usually anesthetized before operation, and the dosage is difficult to ask. If the dosage is large, it will be harmful to human body. If the dose is small, the situation may be worse when the operator wakes up during the operation. Then back to the Three Kingdoms period, Hua Tuo gave Cao Cao hemp boiling powder. How much is it, one bowl or two bowls? Cao Cao said: be careful, brother, this is a hole in the skull! Well, Hua Tuo is an imperial doctor, so don't worry about the dosage of anesthesia in ancient times!

Fourth, ignore craniotomy tools, bacterial infection and anesthetic dosage. I want to ask Dr. Hua Shen, you are a world famous doctor, and I want to ask you when the incurable diseases will be cured. Have you had several craniotomy operations? Do you know anything about brain tissue? Now, I'm a little worried that you are a craniotomy intern! This major operation was handed over to an intern, and our family members were really a little uneasy!

All right! We should believe that the originator of surgery has this ability, but I think so! After all, this craniotomy is a big operation. Isn't it too much to ask a person of the same level to be an assistant to deal with emergencies during surgery? Oh, I don't think so! So can intracranial pressure, hemostasis and craniotomy be solved?

So to sum up, where is the success of Hua Tuo's craniotomy for Cao Cao, and whether there will be sequelae after Cao Cao's operation, I think! Although the surgical conditions are not ... how mature! Well ... but the problem seems to be ... not big, don't you think?
