The medical staff of the neurosurgery department of Panyu District Hospital of Guangzhou is a high-risk, high-difficulty, high-tech department, and they should always be bold and careful in their work. “excellence” is their goal. Chinese neurosurgery, the biggest feature that distinguishes it from other hospitals is that it always combines Chinese and Western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Talent echelon to ensure the level of treatment At present, the neurosurgery staff has one senior title, three intermediate titles, one doctor, one master and one master student. As the leader of neurosurgery, Dr. Peng Zhiqiang, the chief physician, is the only postgraduate supervisor and MD in neurosurgery in Panyu, and he is also a member of the neurosurgery committee of the Guangdong Association of Integrative Medicine and the Standing Committee of the Panyu Tumor Committee of the Guangzhou Anti-Cancer Association. The arrival of Zhiqiang Peng has led to a significant increase in the volume, difficulty and business of neurosurgery in the Chinese Hospital, and a significant decrease in the mortality and disability rates of critically ill patients, improving the treatment level of the department and establishing a reputation among patients. Combination of Chinese and Western standardized treatment of diseases Peng Zhiqiang said, traumatic brain injury is the traditional advantage of the Department of Neurosurgery, but also the most basic project, when the Department of Neurosurgery was first opened, it mainly focuses on craniocerebral trauma cases. The annual average admission of the department is about 600 cases of traumatic brain injury patients, of which the success rate of heavy craniocerebral trauma surgery is about 90%. With the development of minimally invasive technology, minimally invasive treatment is now widely used in neurosurgery because of its advantages of small trauma, low cost and fast recovery, said Peng. One of the most common is the use of minimally invasive treatment for hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, especially at this stage, more and more patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage are coming to the hospital. Minimally invasive treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage is mainly through preoperative CT localization, intraoperative local anesthesia or basic anesthesia, and the application of a hose can remove the hematoma, minimizing the damage to the patient’s brain parenchyma and preserving neurological function as much as possible. This method has saved many patients (especially elderly patients) with critical hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage that were difficult to save with drug therapy and conventional craniotomy. Peng also said that in neurosurgery, the characteristic therapies of TCM are mainly reflected in the postoperative rehabilitation treatment. For example, like hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage patients, besides using Angong Niuhuang Pills according to the patient’s condition, they still use some proprietary Chinese medicines, such as Waking Brain Jing, according to the actual situation. During the whole process of rehabilitation and physical therapy, they also implement Chinese medicine characteristic therapies such as acupuncture and tui-na for patients according to their conditions to help them recover better. Based on the foundation Development of special disciplines The Department of Neurosurgery also pays attention to the development of specialties while doing well in basic projects, and epilepsy surgery is its special specialty. Peng Zhiqiang said, epilepsy (commonly known as sheep epilepsy) is one of the more common diseases that endanger people’s health, the neurosurgery department of the Chinese hospital since the opening of the epilepsy surgery in March this year, the epilepsy surgery carried out mainly temporal lobectomy, epilepsy focal resection, corpus callosotomy, submural transection, cortical thermal cautery, etc.. As a new specialty, in addition to reserving talents, the Chinese Hospital has also purchased the first video EEG in Panyu District for this purpose, which can be used for screening, confirming diagnosis, typing and follow-up observation of drug efficacy of epilepsy; preoperative localization of epileptogenic foci, etc., which brings great convenience to doctors’ diagnosis and patients’ treatment, and also increases the scientificity of diagnosis. A double shot to relieve patients’ pain Recently, for the first time, the neurosurgery department of the Chinese Hospital solved two diseases, namely facial muscle twitching and hypertension, through one operation. Facial twitching, also known as facial spasm, is a condition of involuntary twitching of the half side of the face. The twitching is paroxysmal and irregular, with varying degrees, mostly starting from the lower eyelid on one side and gradually spreading to the face and even the neck muscles later. When the twitching is severe, it can cause facial pain and affect vision, speech and sleep. In fact, this disease is very common, but many patients do not know to seek medical attention from neurosurgeons, and doctors from other disciplines are not too familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, which is often misdiagnosed. Peng said, usually, many people treat hypertension mostly by medication, and rarely through surgery, in fact, hypertension can also be treated through surgery. During the surgery for this patient, the doctor separated the facial nerve and vagus nerve from their corresponding responsible blood vessels to release the nerve compression, thus achieving the effect of curing facial muscle twitching and hypertension. It is of special significance to both the doctor and the patient that the patient’s two diseases are easily solved through one surgery like this.
