    Chen Ang's adjustment of the surgical position was excellent. Strange observed the clear and clean surgical field of view and realized that he had not noticed when Chen Ang adjusted the patient's surgical position, but the surgical field of view of the retractor window  The patient's brachial plexus can be clearly observed.

    The ivory white nerves are as thin as silver threads and as thick as tendons, surrounded by a film-like sheath.

    The black fungus is linear and has grown into the film-like sheath. The black fungus is entangled with the nerves. It is parasitic on the nerves. The black veins spreading on the ivory white nerves are particularly conspicuous.  It was even slowly squirming, making Strange's scalp feel numb.

    The brachial plexus is composed of most of the anterior branches of the fifth to eighth cervical nerves and the anterior branch of the first thoracic nerve. It passes through the scalene muscle space, runs behind and above the subclavian artery, and enters the axilla behind the clavicle.

    The fibers of the five roots of the brachial plexus first form the upper, middle and lower trunks. The branches of the three trunks surround the axillary artery to form the medial bundle, the lateral bundle and the posterior bundle. The branches from the bundle are mainly distributed in the upper limbs and part of the superficial chest and back.  muscle.  But now the fungus infected by the wound has taken root in the medial, lateral and posterior bundles. On one side it spreads from the nerves of the three branches to the brain, and on the other side it goes to the thoracodorsal nerve, long thoracic nerve, axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve,  Development of median nerve, radial nerve, and ulnar nerve.

    The main nerve roots have been infected, and the thinnest part of the black line of fungal infection has developed towards the nerve branches of the chest and upper limb muscles, superficial back muscles and deep neck muscles.

    If the fungus infects the nerve endings, the consequences will be disastrous, and the patient's entire upper limb will be controlled by the parasite.

    But now we no longer care about the nerves of the upper limbs. Going up along the nerves of the three branches is the most complex cistern area of ??the brain. The cistern is located at the bottom of the brain. It is a complex area where the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum intersect. The nerves here  The complex and precise activities make it the most important and deadly area of ??the human body.

    It can be said that - although it is also important to operate on the cerebral cortex and lobes, even if the operation fails, or some brain tissue is accidentally removed.  That doesn¡¯t matter much. The patient will not die immediately. At most, he will have some sequelae of daze, mental retardation, and unresponsiveness. In the worst case, he will become a vegetable (vegetative), and the attending physician will be able to distance himself from the relationship for a long time.

    There is enough time and reason for doctors to use various excuses to shirk responsibility.

    So, this part of the brain has been used for various important medical breakthroughs, such as the infamous lobotomy surgery of the last century. Don¡¯t mentally ill people who had most of the front lobe removed live very healthy lives?  He is also as quiet and docile as a small animal, so much so that this operation is hailed as the dawn of a cure for mental illness.

    This sensational result was until people discovered that the reason why mentally ill patients no longer become ill is because they have lost the ability to become ill, because they have become semi-vegetative. The most essential ability of human beings that distinguishes them from other animals - thinking, has been deprived!  Once the therapeutic mechanism was discovered, the surgery was outlawed.

    But the cistern is different from the brain lobes, which were areas that could be used to achieve results in the last century. Before the invention of microneurosurgery, this area was once called a forbidden area. The mortality rate of surgery here was basically the same as that of terminal illness.  .

    It is also because microneurosurgery breaks through the forbidden area of ????the brain pool that it is qualified to be called the crown of surgery.

    As a former neurosurgeon who was proud of his profession, deeply honored, and regarded it as his lifelong career until his hands were disabled in a car accident and he had to switch to a legal profession, Strange certainly knew the difficulty of this position.  Judging from the danger of fungi parasitizing on nerves, once it spreads to the brain cistern and the concentration of nerves there, rescue efforts can basically be declared ineffective.

    He had to remind Chen Ang: "We must first prevent it from spreading to the brain cistern. Once it reaches the cerebellomedullary cistern and premedulla cistern, it can infect the brainstem and cranial nerve plexus at the top, and spread to the spine at the bottom. If the infection reaches this level  , it¡¯s basically hopeless!¡±

    Chen Ang calmly observed the fungal threads and said, "It's okay!"

    Strange said nervously: "We have to grab time Are you still in the mood to say 'it's okay' now?"

    Chen Ang replied unhurriedly: "It's really okay the fungi have not developed a nerve plexus. They are still simple nerve structures. It can be seen that they parasitize on human nerves, allowing them to imitate human nerve structures, but they do not  It¡¯s really a blessing that it didn¡¯t continue to develop. This time it¡¯s settled!¡±

    Strange watched the fungus continue to spread on the nerves, feeling very anxious. Out of confidence in his professionalism, he had to question aloud: "I think the situation is very bad Once the fungus infects the brain, we will  Can declare patientDead!  "

    "Young man, stay calm. The situation is not as bad as you think!" Chen Ang said calmly as before.

    Strange jumped anxiously: "Isn't this the worst? We sit back and watch things develop for the worst. What could be worse than this?"

    "In my surgical career, this is considered simple!" Chen Ang lamented: "There are many more unlucky things than this, such as the discovery of nerve plexuses on infected fungi, which proves that fungi can not only make simple neural responses.  , but being able to 'think' and perform complex neural activitiesthat is a relatively difficult situation."

    "It will make a more complex response to your behavior."

    Strange understood Chen Ang's words, and it was precisely because he understood that he felt fear. Once the fungus can carry out complex neural activities, the most optimistic scenario is that it will be 'smarter' than a brain parasite.  And they don't know anything about this fungal parasite, how it will react to external stimuli, or what stimulation the relevant drugs will have on it.

    Strange couldn¡¯t help but break into a cold sweat and said: ¡°This is really a worse situation!¡±

    "That's nothing!" Chen Ang sneered: "Don't forget, these fungi come from highly intelligent alien races. Before the operation, I was prepared for them to develop complex nervous systems. The only ones that are better are dogs.  The IQ of a human being can reach the level of a six-year-old child like a dolphin. Think about it, if a fungus parasitic on the nerves has the thinking ability of a six-year-old child"

    Strange shuddered. That was an impossible operation. Surgery is an extremely delicate and precise job. What doctors hate most are variables, but a six-year-old child parasitizing the patient's nerves is no longer a variable - simply  It's a disaster.

    While letting the brachial plexus be more exposed in the field of vision, Chen Ang said with emotion: "Although fungi have relatively advanced intelligence and are already more difficult, in my experiment no, in my surgical career, it is not the most difficult.  ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
