The doctor took out the steel nail in the skull Time: 2011-01-26 Source: Panyu Daily □ Our reporter Zhan Haiyan Correspondent Cui Weifeng Xiao Li was buried in the work, suddenly a tingling and swelling of the scalp, he subconsciously touched, a hard protrusion nailed in the brain shell. Opposite is to the wooden box sealing workers holding the hands of the “jet nail gun” stunned look at him, other workers also stopped the work in hand, running to him. Bad, the nails involved in the skull. So the thought of the small Lee’s arms and legs weak, the head of the swelling pain seems to be more significant. Although not much blood, but then the first reaction of the people around is a big deal, 6 cm long steel nail shot into the head, can still live? The first thing that happened was that the people around me thought it was a big deal. The workers let him lie flat and contacted the car to take him to the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. From the doctor’s examination to the surgery before anesthesia, Xiao Li’s consciousness is very clear, not only answerable and flexible hands and feet. The doctor immediately let him go through the admission procedure after understanding his injury and informed the surgeon to prepare for the surgery. According to the CT examination, a metal-like foreign body was firmly inserted in the head. From the samples brought by the workers, it was a common steel nail, just to make the box sealed more stable, the upper and lower ends of the nail were also wrapped with wire. At that time, the workers across from Xiaoli was burying his head in the nail box, and could not say what happened to accidentally injured him. There is no injury to the important nerve The director of neurosurgery at the district hospital, Peng Zhiqiang said, fortunately, the nails are new, no rust. More fortunately, although the nails are almost the entire brain shell, but did not hurt the important nerves and blood vessels. According to the introduction, the brain in the skull is the largest nerve center in the human body. The scalp is a soft tissue covered outside the skull, anatomically divided into five layers from the outside to the inside: skin layer, subcutaneous tissue layer, capillary tendon layer, subtenon layer and bone membrane. This contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymph, which are rich in blood supply. From Xiao Li’s symptoms and anatomical analysis, it appears that the nail that was shot into the skull did not pass through the major blood vessels and nerves. If the nail is a little backward, it will injure the nerve that manages the movement, resulting in inflexibility or even paralysis; if it is a little further to the middle of the skull, it will injure the important large blood vessel, and once the large blood vessel ruptures in the skull, it will be difficult to control, and it is likely to die before the doctor can save it, or it will easily leave a blood clot to compress the surrounding nerves, resulting in hemiplegia and other symptoms. The nail in Xiao Li’s skull was able to land in a less important gap in the “crisis-ridden” skull, which is an unfortunate blessing, and an important reason why he was able to stay awake. Although the nail in the skull did not hurt the important nerves, blood vessels, etc., but if not removed for a long time easy to produce tissue adhesions, infection and other problems. For this reason, the faster the steel nail is removed, the better the recovery of the injured person. Director Peng Zhiqiang immediately organized the operation, they used the hospital’s new imported craniotomy equipment, a few minutes in the head of the small Li opened a mouth. According to reports, because the brain tissue is soft and fragile, and the nail in the skull is stuck very tight, hard pulling simply can not come out, but also easy to form secondary damage. Although the skull cover will be cut open also need to steadily remove the nail as far as possible according to the original path, in order to minimize the nail damage to the skull. Only after the nail is removed from the skull is the nail completely pulled out, and then a small piece of the skull is locked back in place with a cranial lock, and the cut scalp is sewn back together layer by layer. With rich experience and advanced equipment, Peng and his assistants took more than half an hour to complete the entire operation. Although the skull was cut open, the skull was fixed with a cranial lock and then sealed with a scalp, which was basically invisible on the outside and not very obvious to the touch after healing. Director Peng Zhiqiang said that Xiao Li is only 34 years old and if he is not careful, it will affect his life for most of his future. Fortunately, everything went well, and according to the post-operative examination, his injury is now fine and will have no impact on his future work life. Director Peng Zhiqiang reminded the public, high-risk work should be as good as possible when the protective equipment, can not be greedy for a moment of pleasure and there is a fluke heart. After all, not everyone can have such a lucky coincidence like Xiao Li in the misfortune.
