Chapter 744 (1/2)

The next day, Guo Xiang called song tingshen and told him to go to the hospital later and take a child to the general hospital.

After a while, Rong Yunxiang came with Rong wennuan to find Guo Xiang. Guo Xiang drove them to Beijing hospital.

Rong wennuan took the car for the first time. He was nervous and curious. He tightly grasped Rong Yunxiang's clothes and looked left and right with big eyes.

At the Beijing hospital, Guo Xiang took them directly to general surgery.

At present, there is no special plastic surgery in the hospital. It is OK to operate directly in general surgery.

When he came to general surgery, he found Dr. Ling, a famous surgeon in general surgery. Guo Xiang interned here for a year and a half, and most doctors still knew him.

Although she works in the cancer hospital, most doctors still know her because of her previous liver transplantation and later research on HIV.

At the surgery, Dr. Ling happened to be in the clinic.

When a patient in front came out, Guo Xiang went in with Rong Yunxiang and Rong wennuan.

”Good morning, Dr. Ling!” Guo Xiang said hello.

”It's Dr. Wang. Why do you have time to come today?” Dr. Ling smiled.

”I have a child with cleft lip and palate. Please have a look.” Guo Xiang said with a smile.

Dr. Ling looked at the people behind Guo Xiang. When he saw Rong wennuan, he nodded and waved to her, ”come here, child, let your aunt have a look.”

Rong wennuan is a little afraid and hides behind Rong Yunxiang.

”Go and let the doctor's aunt have a look. When the doctor operates on Nuan, it will be better in the future.” Rong Yunxiang said.

”Come on, warm!” Guo Xiang took Rong wennuan's hand, held her and sat in the chair in front of Dr. Ling.

Dr. Ling came over, squatted down, looked at the child's lips carefully, and asked her to open her mouth and open her lips.

”How's it going?” Rong Yunxiang hurriedly asked.

”Fortunately, it's not very serious. The child has only cleft lip and is easy to treat.” Dr. Ling stood up and said, ”cleft lip and palate can be divided into cleft lip and cleft palate, or both lips and upper palate. If it is cleft palate surgery, it will be more difficult. She is much simpler.”

”And cleft palate?” Rong Yunxiang was a little surprised. In his opinion, Rong wennuan was very serious.

”Yes.” Dr. Ling nodded, ”but there are fewer people with cleft palate. Cleft lip and palate is not only the lip, but also the upper palate including the gums. That's very serious. Even the upper palate needs to be repaired. This child is just a simple cleft lip. Look...”

Dr. Ling opened Rong's warm lips. ”Although she doesn't have front teeth now, it's just a normal tooth change period. The front teeth fell out, but the gums are complete. Just wait for the teeth to grow out. Now just repair her lips.”

”How much is that?” Rong Yunxiang asked.

”About three hundred dollars.” Dr. Ling said.

Although the repair of cleft lip is simple, the operation is still complex. It's not like sewing clothes and sewing both sides together.

First, select different base points on both sides of the cleft, and make an incision according to these base points to remove the edge tissue of the cleft.

Then turn up the upper lip, make a loose incision at the gingival labial sulcus on both sides of the cleft, and completely separate the nasal column, nasal wing and the whole upper lip from the upper periosteum.

Because there is no tension when the suture is separated, the displaced nasal column and lip can be restored to the middle position, and the deformed nasal wing on the cleft side can be restored to its normal shape.

Finally, the muscle, skin and mucosa were sutured in three layers according to the base point.
