Chapter 670 - 670: Surgery (2/2)
”Me too.” Ah Kean nodded.
”Then, how many types of craniotomy?” Professor Guan threw a random question to both of them.
Yu Qi: ”Ten.”
Ah Kean: ”Ten.”
”Name one of them.” Professor Guan tested them again.
Yu Qi looked at Ah Kean. Ah Kean nodded asking Yu Qi to answer it first.
”Stereotactic craniotomy. This procedure used an MRI or CT scan allowing the surgeon to use imaging tests to create three-dimensional images of your brain. It allows them to distinguish between healthy and abnormal tissue.
Stereotactic techniques also help your surgeon find the best spot for a scalp incision. This makes it easier to make smaller cuts and perform minimally invasive procedures. Like today's surgery.” Yu Qi answered perfectly.
After that, Ah Kean began answering the question. ”Another type of craniotomy surgery is translabyrinthine craniotomy. The surgeon will cut your ear. They remove part of the mastoid bone and the semicircular canals, which help you balance.
It used to remove an acoustic neuroma, also called a vestibular schwannoma. An acoustic neuroma is a noncancerous tumour that forms on the nerve that connects your inner ear and brain. It causes hearing loss and balances issues.
Removing the semicircular canals results in hearing loss. However, the surgery decreases the risk of facial nerve damage.”
Professor Guan nodded satisfied with both of the answer. ”Excellent. You have done your homework before coming to this surgery theatre.”
”Thank you, Professor Guan.” Both Yu Qi and Ah Kean said.
”Okay. I will leave first.” Professor Guan excused himself.
Yu Qi felt refreshed. It was an exciting surgery. She enjoyed learning it.
”I have learnt a lot today.” Ah Kean said.
”Me too. I hope I can enter the surgery theatre again.” Yu Qi said.
”Both of you need to follow up Si Si's condition for a few days, understand?” Doctor Lan Cai Duan gave his orders.
”Yes, Doctor Lan.”
