"That's true." After thinking for a while, Ye Mi spoke.
"What is the fundamental reason?" Yushan Heren asked.
"There are certain developmental deformities in her cerebral blood vessels, which makes it easy for her to suffer from insufficient blood supply when exposed to external stimuli." Ye Mi said slowly.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. He originally thought that Fujinomiya Ningko had some symptoms such as hypoglycemia, but he never thought it was so serious.
"Cerebral vascular malformation... This disease is usually congenital." After thinking for a long time, Yushan Heren couldn't help but speak.
"Yes." Ye Mi replied.
Including Fujinomiya Ningzi, her illness was also congenital, but it did not show up in childhood.
"If that's the case, why not perform the surgery as soon as possible?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask.
"Brain surgery is not the earlier the better. In childhood, the brain is fragile and the failure rate of surgery is very high." Ye Mi said slowly.
Yushan Heren blinked slightly. This was a tricky question.
You can't have surgery when you are young, and when you are older and can have surgery, the condition may get worse again.
"So now, can Ningzi undergo the operation?" asked Yushan Heren.
"After evaluation, although there is still a small risk, the surgery can be performed now." Ye Mi said.
"Then why..." Yushan Kazuto stopped talking halfway.
He remembered that Fujinomiya Ningzi had told him before that Yami had rejected her application for surgery.
At that time, Yushan Kazuto comforted him, saying that there must be a reason why Ye Mi refused the surgery application. Ye Mi is a doctor with medical ethics and would not deliberately refuse a patient just because of personal relationships.
Now it seems that perhaps Ye Mi felt that the operation was too risky and that was why he rejected Fujinomiya Ningzi?
"Are you asking why I rejected her application for surgery?" Staring at Yushan Kazuto, Ye Mi spoke.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly, not knowing how to respond to Ye Mi's words.
He really wanted to know why Ye Mi was unwilling to perform surgery on Fujinomiya Ningzi, but he was also worried that he would get the answer from Ye Mi that he least wanted to know.
After a long while, Yushan Heren spoke up: "Aunt Ye Mi, if you use all your strength to perform the operation, what is the success rate of the operation?"
"Although it is very difficult, there is at least more than 99 percent chance of success." Ye Mi said slowly.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but widen his eyes. With a success rate of over 99%, why was Yami unwilling to perform surgery on Fujinomiya Ningzi?
"Then... why did Aunt Yemi reject Ningzi's application for surgery?" After a long time, Yushan Heren gritted his teeth and said slowly.
"The success rate of surgery is just a reference. Sometimes, even if the surgery is very successful, it does not mean that there will be improvement." Ye Mi turned his head and looked towards Shinobazu Pond, while admiring the scenery of Shinobazu Pond and spoke.
"What do you mean? Even if the operation is successful, it will... be useless?"
Chapter 1771 Solution
"Not only that, it may even get worse." Ye Mi's words were shocking, causing Yushan and others to be stunned.
"If his condition doesn't worsen, Fujinomiya should still have two to five years to live. But once the surgery is done, even if it's successful, that time is likely to be compressed to less than a year."
After a long time, Yushan Heren barely digested the information in Ye Mi's words, and then asked: "Why does a successful operation also shorten life?"
Ye Mi did not answer directly, but looked at the lotus leaf in front of him: "Do you know what will happen after the lotus leaf is plucked?"
Yushan Heren blinked slightly, not quite understanding why Ye Mi suddenly changed the topic to lotus leaves, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Lasi?"
"That's right. When a lotus leaf is plucked, it will have threads. In fact, that is the conductive tissue of the lotus leaf. Can you guarantee that when you pluck the lotus leaf, not a single thread will be broken?"
As soon as Ye Mi's words came out, Yushan Heren understood the other party's implication.
Ye Mi was able to complete the operation successfully, but she could not guarantee that Fujinomiya Ningzi's brain would not be harmed during the operation.
"Now you should understand why I rejected Fujinomiya." Ye Mi said slowly.
Yushan and Ren were silent. This situation really made people feel helpless.
When he thought that under ideal circumstances, Fujinomiya Ningzi might only survive for five years, Yushan Kazuto felt a little upset.
"So, Aunt Ye Mi, how big is the great possibility you mentioned?" After a long silence, Yushan Heren spoke.
"More than 95 percent." Ye Mi said.
"Ninety-five percent..." Yushan Kazuto repeated the number.
In fact, the probability is more than 95%. 98%, 99% are all possible, what Ye Mi said is just the most ideal situation.
"Besides, no one can guarantee Fujinomiya's living conditions after the operation."
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. What Ye Mi said was like giving a vaccination. Perhaps after the operation, Fujinomiya Ningzi could still live like a normal person, or perhaps she could only lie on the hospital bed, waiting for the coming of death.
"So... the best option right now is to try our best to ensure that Ningzi's condition does not worsen, and then perform surgery when it almost reaches its limit?" After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren calmed down and spoke slowly.
"No, if surgery is required, it can only be completed within six months." Ye Mi shook his head and said.
Even if Fujinomiya Ningzi's condition did not worsen, her physical condition was getting worse and worse. When her physical condition deteriorated to a certain extent, she would probably not be able to get off the operating table if she was forced to undergo surgery.
Hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. He originally thought that he would have two to three years to find a solution, but he didn't expect that the time would be so tight.
Fujinomiya Ningzi had spent so many years at the Cohen Medical Research Institute, but the institute had no way to treat Fujinomiya Ningzi's condition and could only use conservative treatment and wait for the opportunity for surgery.
Kazuto Yuyama didn't think he would be able to find a better treatment option than surgery within six months.
After thinking carefully about Ye Mi's words, Yu Shan He Ren suddenly grasped a key point: "Aunt Ye Mi, you said that if Ning Zi undergoes surgery, there is a 95% chance that things will get worse, but what about the 5% chance?"
Ye Mi couldn't help but glance at Yushan Kazuto: "Of this 5% possibility, there is a 1% chance that I made a major mistake during the operation, which directly led to Fujinomiya's death."
Hearing this, Yushan Heren's heart skipped a beat, but he still managed to speak: "Then there is still a 4% chance?"
"There is still a 4% chance that the operation will be a complete success." Ye Mi said slowly, "It's like breaking a lotus leaf without breaking a single strand of it."
Yushan Heren blinked slightly, and felt as if a ray of hope had suddenly appeared.
Since there is still a 4% chance, then we only need to increase this probability by 25 times within these six months, which means it will increase by times every month. Mathematically, this is not a very large number.
"Aunt Ye Mi, can you tell me why the probability of a successful operation is so low?"
After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren asked.
"The main reason is that the location of the blood vessels is quite tricky. If you want to repair the deformed blood vessels without harming the brain, you need at least micron-level control capabilities." Ye Mi did not shy away and spoke directly.
Although Ye Mi's medical skills are superb, it is difficult to achieve micron-level precision. It is extremely irresponsible to force surgery when the doctor lacks control.
Yushan Heren's eyes lit up. If it was just the human body, it would be extremely difficult to achieve the precision of micron level, but for machines, the difficulty did not seem to be that high.
"Aunt Ye Mi, have you considered using machines to assist?" Thinking of this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but speak.
"Machine?" Ye Mi blinked slightly. The machines equipped in her private hospital have always been some of the most advanced in the world.
"Well, a machine I designed myself that can achieve nanometer-level motion accuracy." Yushan Heren said.
Ye Mi shook her head. In her opinion, Yushan Heren was talking about something like a lathe. Did they want to move a lathe window into the operating room?
"look."
However, Yushan Kazuto took out his mobile phone, clicked on the latest video sent to him by the experimenter, and handed it to Ye Mi.
In the video, two robotic arms have been installed with simulated skin. The staff controlled the robotic arms and completed an operation with an error requirement within 20 nanometers.
Although the video is not long, it gives us a glimpse into the big picture. The flexibility, accuracy and even intelligence of the robotic arm are amazing.
“Is this a real video?”
After returning the phone to Yushan Kazuto, Ye Mi spoke.
"Of course it's real. I have personally verified its movement accuracy." Yushan Heren said.
"Aunt Ye Mi, do you think we can use this pair of robotic arms to replace human hands?"
After thinking about it, Ye Mi shook his head. Although the movement accuracy of the robotic arm was indeed amazing, the surgical process was ever-changing, and a preset machine might not be able to cope with these unexpected situations during surgery.
“The machine lacks the ability to adapt to changes and it is difficult to deal with unexpected situations during surgery.”
Hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but put on a long-lost smile.
Chapter 1772 It Can Only Be Shorter, Not Longer
"If it can really achieve the effect you said, there may be a chance."
After listening to Yushan Heren's introduction, Ye Mi was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
Yushan Heren responded, but in his heart he was thinking about how to modify the two robotic arms to make them better meet the requirements of the operation.
"But... can we really train those two robotic arms to the point where they can perform surgery in six months?"
Ye Mi's voice was a little hesitant. Although she already knew that her nephew was extremely talented, this design that could almost subvert the entire surgical system still felt a little unreal to her.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. He still had confidence in the mechanical arm he designed.
However, six months is indeed too tight a time frame, and surgical operations require a high level of professionalism and precision. It would be difficult to achieve the ideal state by relying solely on theoretical designs without practical help.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt Ye Mi." After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren spoke.
Ye Mi couldn't help but blink, glanced at Yushan Heren, and listened quietly to Yushan Heren's story.
After Yushan and others finished speaking, Ye Mi said, "As long as it does not affect the operation, I have no objection."
After hearing this, Yushan Heren finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before, Ye Mi had been silent, and Yushan Heren thought that the other party was reluctant.
"Then I'll adjust the two arms a little bit in the near future and then send them to the hospital?"
Ye Mi responded. She was actually quite interested in the machine learning that Yushan Heren announced.
However, general machine learning requires a large number of examples for machine training. Although Ye Mi's hospital is busy, the number of surgical cases is still far from meeting the needs of normal machine learning.
Regarding this point, Yushan Kazuto needs to design a new algorithm to complete it.
It would be best to design a simple input system to ensure that at critical moments, Ye Mi can convey instructions to the two robotic arms through the input system to prevent some mechanical errors.
"Well, it's getting late, I should go back."
Looking at the Shinobazu Pond in front of him, Ye Mi spoke slowly.
Originally, I thought that Yushan Kazuto was just here to ask for information about Fujinomiya Ningzi, but I didn't expect the other party to throw out such an explosive product. Ye Mi felt that he might also need to digest it carefully.
Yushan Heren nodded and followed Ye Mi towards the hotel. Their car was still parked in the hotel parking lot!
……
Walking to the side of the vehicle and looking at Ye Mi who was about to get on the bus not far away, Yu Shan He Ren finally couldn't help but said, "Aunt Ye Mi, I have one more thing I want to ask you."
Ye Mi stopped and stared at Yushan Kazuto, waiting for Yushan Kazuto to speak.
"Is six months really the longest period?" Yushan Heren said word by word.
"Yes." This time, Ye Mi's answer was very decisive.
"It can only be shorter, not longer."
Fujinomiya Ningzi had just had a physical examination this morning, and the information after the examination was simultaneously sent to Ye Mi for evaluation.
The Cohen Medical Research Institute still hopes that Ye Mi can perform surgery on Fujinomiya Ningzi. Once the operation is completed, it will also be a practical demonstration for the researchers.
However, out of responsibility for the patient, Ye Mi has never accepted the other party's request. At most, he told Fujinomiya Ningzi the real situation some time before the final deadline for surgery and let her make her own choice.
There is still some time before the final surgery deadline, and Ye Mi does not want to let Fujinomiya Ningzi know the truth for the time being.
Hearing Ye Mi's answer, a trace of gloom flashed across Yushan Heren's eyes. Six months is not a short time, but it is difficult to be absolutely foolproof.
What's more, according to Ye Mi's analysis, six months is not a safe period, and an unexpected situation may happen at any time.
Yushan Kazuto must improve the algorithm of the robotic arm as quickly as possible and then send it to Yemi's hospital for machine training.
"I understand, Aunt Ye Mi." After a sigh, Yushan Heren spoke.
Ye Mi glanced at Yushan Kazuto and reminded him, "By the way, you'd better not tell Fujinomiya about what happened today."
"Is that so?" Yushan Heren blinked slightly, "I think Ningzi should have guessed something."
Fujinomiya Ningzi is not stupid. At first, she may have refused to perform surgery on her because of emotional reasons, thinking that Yami had a conflict with Yushan Kazuto's mother.
But after so much time has passed, the other party has already calmed down.
When she was with Yushan Kazuto, she also came into contact with Ye Mi many times. Yushan Kazuto felt that it was impossible for the other party to not see through Ye Mi's character.
"Even if I guess it, it's still different from directly telling the other party the situation." Ye Mi said.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. What Ye Mi said seemed to make sense.
