Chapter 303 (1/2)

The first liver transplantation in the world was completed by Professor Starzl of the United States, the father of liver transplantation, in 1963.

It was a cadaveric liver transplant at that time.

It's a cadaveric liver transplant, but the survival rate is very low.

It was not until 1988 that a doctor named RAIA performed the world's first living donor liver transplantation for a four-and-a-half-year-old girl, but later developed severe hemolysis and died.

The next year, another 19 month old girl underwent living donor liver transplantation, but it failed.

In the same year, strong, an Australian doctor, transplanted his mother's liver for a one-and-a-half-year-old boy with congenital biliary atresia.

Now it is 1986. There are no successful examples abroad, let alone at home. In terms of liver transplantation, China is very backward.

Of course, song tingshen did not know about these successful cases. Only Guo Xiang, a later person, knew about them.

One can imagine how difficult liver transplantation is.

However, this does not mean that liver transplantation has not been carried out in China.

Since 1973, experts and professors in China have also started liver transplantation research. From 1977 to 1983, more than 50 cases were implemented, but 90% of the patients died during or three months after the operation, and the longest lived for more than 200 days.

Later, the domestic liver transplantation was quiet and there was no breakthrough.

Now Song tingshen just wants to make a breakthrough?

However, Guo Xiang knew that it was not until 1997 that the first living donor liver transplantation in China was successful. This road is too difficult.

Now, even if the liver cancer patient can be transplanted, it is also a cadaveric liver transplantation, because the current technology of living donor liver transplantation can not be reached.

But even cadaveric liver transplantation is now very difficult.

The so-called cadaver liver is not really the liver of a dead person, but the liver of a patient who has just died or brain death, so it is more difficult to get it. It's even more difficult to just match the model.

Later generations gradually have the project of organ donation. Even so, it would be good for 10000 patients to receive organ transplantation every year, not to mention this period when there is no such system?

Chinese people generally pay attention to the whole body when they die and go to the earth for peace. The concept of people in this period is still very backward. Even if they advocate body donation, no one responds.

Generally, organ transplantation and medical corpses are dead prisoners or ownerless corpses without relatives, but such cases are very few, so it is very difficult to use organs.

This is also one of the reasons for the stagnation of organ transplantation in China.

It's hard for song tingshen to have a liver transplant.

”Even if this patient can meet, it's too late.” Song tingshen sighed that there was no time. He did not believe that they could break through so many technologies that experts and scholars could not break through in just three months.

”Mr. Song, we can try. Even if this case is unsuccessful, as long as we don't give up, we will succeed one day, so that we can benefit people in the future.” Guo Xiang said.

In fact, she has done liver transplantation, but now the conditions are limited and the medical equipment is limited. Many things still can't be achieved, but she will try her best to help Mr. Song.

”Yes, Mr. Song, how do you know if you don't try?” Anzehan was excited. Liver transplantation is a worldwide problem. It's very meaningful for him to have the opportunity to participate.

Song Ting nodded deeply, ”if you have determination, the progress of medicine depends on young people like you. Let's try it together! ”

”Good!” Guo Xiang held out his hand and motioned to anzehan. He hesitated a little and came over. He put his hand on Guo Xiang's hand, and song tingshen also put his hand on anzehan's hand.

The three said in unison, ”let's work together!”

”Where can I find the liver source now?” Anzehan rubbed his hands and was eager to try.

”Professor Lin used to do experiments with dog liver, and we can do it!” Song tingshen said.
