Professor Wu thought for a moment:

"I'm sorry, if you want to introduce him to doctors in hepatobiliary surgery or gastrointestinal surgery, I know quite a few doctors, but hand surgery is so unpopular that I don't remember anyone I know."

Although the Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery Society, the Hand Surgery Society, etc. are also second-level medical societies with high levels and high standards, this does not change the fact that they are unpopular majors.

For example, the International Society of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery has more than 20,000 members, while the Society for Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery only has more than 2,000 members worldwide. This is the gap.

Hand surgery is better than cleft lip and palate surgery, but it was not much better in 1985. Currently, there are only more than 3,000 members.

It is a completely unpopular major. Because it is unpopular, the professional skills are too strong and involve too few parts of the human body. There is little need to collaborate with other specialties, so there is little communication between the various disciplines.

When Chen Qi heard that Professor Wu had no other connections, he began to worry again. Should he be allowed to barge in and recommend himself?

Professor Wu laughed:

"You're asking me in vain, but don't forget that the president of your own ICPF society or other directors have connections in this field. You are really a Bodhisattva who has worshiped in the wrong temple."

When Chen Qi heard this, he clapped his thigh excitedly: "Yes, how could I forget them?"

Professor Wu tapped his hand: "I think you have not placed yourself in the right position. It seems that your mind is not on the ICPF society."

Chen Qi thought to himself: You guessed it right, my mind is on the IHPBA International Society of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery~~~

After asking for leave from the head of the delegation, Chen Qi ran to the room of Professor Dewey, the president of the ICPF Society.

At the same time, Professor Stevenson from China, the president of FSSH International Society for Surgery of the Hand, and other society directors are worried.

Stevenson: "Hey guys, the day after tomorrow it will be our turn to showcase the academic achievements of hand surgery in the past two years. Can you tell me, what new surgical procedures have been creative and revolutionary in our hand surgery in the past two years?"

Several vice presidents and directors in the room looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

The treatment scope of hand surgery is actually very limited. It only covers two hands anyway, including hand injuries, infections, tumors, congenital deformities, etc.

Because there are few diseases that can be treated and there are not many topics that can be studied, hand surgery and general surgery are often not separated in most hospitals around the world.

It is only in large hospitals in developed countries or developing countries that the specialty of hand surgery is carried out. Some are also called "hand and foot surgery", including the feet.

This brings about a problem. It is difficult for groundbreaking technological innovations in hand surgery to emerge, and limb transplantation is the most technologically advanced.

Professor Sherwood said: "I wrote a paper on the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma under the nails last year. Do you think it can be used?"

Professor Alvin on the side chuckled: "For melanoma, we can't do skin surgery or oncology surgery. People are the ones who specialize in this."

Several people in the room nodded. Hand surgery treats malignant tumors with one word: "cut", which means amputation.

This simple and crude treatment is often laughed at by other doctors.

If you use it to give a keynote speech at the World Society of Surgery, other colleagues will laugh out loud.

"What should I do?"

"Think again..."

Just when the professors of hand surgery were silent, the intercom phone in the room rang.

Professor Stevenson answered the phone and heard the voice of his old friend, Professor Dewey, the president of the ICPF Society and his colleague at the Mayo Clinic.

"Stevenson, I have something very unbelievable to tell you. One of our ICPF directors, Dr. Chen Qi from China, has a paper on your hand surgery that he wants you to read.

”

Professor Stevenson was a little stunned after hearing this:

"Hey you old boy, do you want to ask me out for a drink? Don't be ridiculous, we are in a meeting now, you guys I

CPF already has a speech topic, and we at FSSH don’t want to lose face, so we need to find the best paper.”

"No, no, no, Stevenson, listen to me. If you read Chen's paper, I believe you will know that the topic of your speech this year has been decided. This is definitely a revolutionary new technology."<

/p>

Listening to Dewey's seriousness, Stevenson was a little confused:

"Are you saying that the doctor who performed your plastic surgery actually invented a new method of hand surgery, or a revolutionary method? How is this possible? Aren't you just talking about it? When will you be able to do it?"<

/p>

"Haha, Stevenson, you are wrong this time. As long as you get this paper, you will know how wrong you are. There is no way, our ICPF surgeons are so awesome, even your hand surgery

It can also be easily taken down."

"Okay, stop joking. What kind of revolutionary surgery did that Chinese doctor you mentioned perform? Otherwise, I wouldn't have time to pay attention to your ICPF bullshit."

"OK, I'll let Dr. Chen tell you personally."

The microphone was apparently taken over by another person at this time, and soon a young voice came:

"Hello, Professor Stevenson, I am Chen Qi from China. I have just completed an allograft replantation surgery in China. I believe you will be interested in this surgery."

Stevenson blinked, a little confused.

"Hello Chen, I don't seem to hear you clearly. What kind of foster surgery are you doing?"

"Sorry, Professor, this is a new term. Let me explain it this way. I had a patient before who had his hand severed due to trauma. However, his arm was seriously injured and could not be replanted immediately, so I fostered the severed hand in

legs.

After 2 months, when the arm was almost fully recovered, I cut off the severed palm from the leg and transplanted it to the arm. This is my newly invented "Allogeneic Fostering and Replantation Surgery of the Amputated Palm". I checked the literature and there is no similar surgery in the world.

Surgery precedent, I think I should be the first, right?"

"ha?"

Stevenson couldn't believe his ears, and the words he shouted were all broken. This also attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and they all looked over.

Stevenson switched the receiver to one ear, then looked at his hands and legs and asked:

"Dr. Chen, what do you mean, you reattached the broken hand to the leg? And then reattached it to the arm 2 months later?"

"Yes, Mr. Professor."

"Faq, how did you do it? The operation was successful?"

"It was successful. The patient is recovering now. As expected, he will be able to move around in 2 weeks."
