Doctors in Shandong Province, China, successfully performed an unusual surgical operation. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The operation was aimed at helping a patient whose ear had been severed due to external impact. Thanks to timely measures, the patient's ear tissues were saved from necrosis.
The incident occurred as follows: the patient's ear was completely detached, resulting in the cessation of blood circulation. Normally, in such a situation, it is necessary to quickly restore blood flow to preserve the tissues.
However, due to the complexity of the patient's condition, it was impossible to use the usual transplantation method. The doctors chose an unconventional approach to solve the problem.
They temporarily transferred the ear tissue to the patient's leg. In this method, the leg acted as a "living incubator" — the ear's blood vessels were connected to the leg, allowing the tissue to be nourished and keeping the damaged ear in a "preservation mode."
Since blood circulation in the leg was stable and the skin matched the ear tissue, this method was successfully applied. After full restoration of blood flow, the ear was returned to its original place.
The operation was successful, and the ear tissues were preserved. According to the doctors, the result exceeded expectations.
After the ear was reattached, the patient's health recovered, and he was discharged from the hospital. This surgical procedure is considered one of the most unusual and effective methods of organ and tissue restoration in modern medicine.
This event once again proved that the possibilities of medicine are limitless. Most importantly, with knowledge, effort, and the right decision, even seemingly impossible cases can find a positive solution.
