[Medical case] The Department of Neurosurgery of Baoshihua Hospital in Gansu independently completed brain metastasis surgery

In the complex and sophisticated brain, a brain metastasis has quietly grown. It makes people shudder to think about it. The tricky thing is that the brain metastasis is surrounded by nerves and blood vessels, and even oppresses the brainstem. Recently, the Department of Neurosurgery of Gansu Baoshihua Hospital admitted a patient with brain metastases.

If you want to treat brain metastases, surgery is the best option, but such surgery is difficult and risky. On September 29, 2021, which lasted 6 hours, the neurosurgery team of Gansu Baoshihua Hospital used superb technology to solve the “top priority” for patients, and also used practical actions to protect the lives of patients.

57-year-old Uncle Qian has been in poor health. Recently, he has suffered from headaches and dizziness. But the physical discomfort did not cause Uncle Qian's attention. At first, he and his family thought it was just too tired recently, and only a few days of rest would be enough to recover. Who knows, the head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the patient’s left frontal lobe occupies a large area with edema around it. Combined with the history of lung cancer, metastases should be considered. After being patiently explained and explained by Deputy Director Li Liqiang, the family considered repeatedly and finally decided to undergo surgery.

Under the leadership of Li Liqiang, Deputy Director of Neurosurgery, after rigorous scientific argumentation and evaluation, and full preoperative discussion, Head Nurse Yang Xiaohong led the nurses to make various preoperative and postoperative preparations. At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 29, the operating room got busy. Li Liqiang, deputy director of neurosurgery, was in charge of the operation, and many medical staff participated in it. The operation under the microscope was extremely precise. The surgical team opened the craniotomy, monitored, and peeled off the tumor little by little, without the slightest error, and finally successfully removed the tumor.

At present, the patient’s preoperative symptoms have completely disappeared.Enjoy a healthy old life. Precise evaluation before operation, fine operation during operation, individualized review after operation... The dedicated efforts of medical staff minimize the risk of operation. For this, the patient's family members are grateful.
