China News Service, Hohhot, August 22, topic: Returning hometown of medical doctors who stayed in Japan: "walking on thin ice" for more than ten years and "pioneering" in the field of brain surgery

A few days ago, a patient with cerebral hemorrhage caused by rupture of a cerebral aneurysm and accompanied by acute myocardial infarction was transferred to the People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and received a rescue unit jointly participated by neurosurgery, anesthesiology, cardiology, interventional departments and other departments.
Wu Rile, deputy director of the neurosurgery of the hospital, is the doctor in charge of the interventional embolization of the cerebral aneurysm and the leader of the vascular direction of the neurosurgery of the hospital.
Under the escort of anesthesiologists and cardiologists, he dealt with the "bomb" of intracranial aneurysm, and the operation took about 3 hours.
The patient is currently in stable and good condition.

The People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the largest "third-grade A" general hospital in Inner Mongolia. As far as this operation is concerned, it is just a complicated routine operation.
But Wu Rile told reporters that more than ten years ago, such sophisticated brain surgery that required the cooperation of multiple departments could not be done.
"At that time, there was no one and no equipment."
Neurosurgery, also known as brain surgery, is mainly responsible for diseases of the brain and spinal cord.
Inner Mongolia's medical resources are relatively weak, and the shortcomings of neurosurgery's difficult surgical capabilities have been prominent before.
Now, everything is changing quietly.
Wu Rile is the witness and witness of all this.
In 2009, 32-year-old Wu Rile was introduced by Inner Mongolia People's Hospital as a senior technical professional.
At that time, he had obtained a doctorate degree in neuroscience from Gifu University in Japan. He had just left the post-doctorate at Shanghai Jiaotong University, and he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to do something for his hometown.
At that time, the Inner Mongolia People's Hospital had backward medical equipment and insufficient staffing. Wu Rile was the only doctor in neurosurgery.
Intracranial aneurysm micro-spring interventional embolization made him "famous in the first battle" when he first returned to Inner Mongolia.
This technology fills the gap in hospital medical technology and has the advantages of less trauma, high safety, wide indications, and fewer complications.
Visiting a doctor, accepting patients, performing operations, arranging discharge from the hospital... He is responsible for all the major and minor matters of the patient, and the work is intense and busy.
After that, he slowly formed a medical team. With the joint efforts of everyone, the blanks of brain surgery medical technology in Inner Mongolia were gradually filled.
The operation requires a high degree of nerve tension and a lot of pressure.
At the end of almost every operation, Wu Rile's clothes would be soaked through.
Brain surgery always takes a long time. The longest time I walked into the operating room in the early morning and came out after dark.
"There is a saying in our industry: if you are in the abyss, you are like walking on thin ice." Wu Rile told reporters that brain surgery requires very high precision, and every small action has a huge impact on the patient, and the doctor has a great responsibility.
The improvement of medical capabilities brings not only the trust of patients, but also the multiplied clinical workload.
In the whole year of 2009, there were only dozens of cerebrovascular disease operations in the Neurosurgery Department of Inner Mongolia People's Hospital.
In 2021, more than 1,400 general operations will be performed, of which the vascular team led by Wu Rile will complete 770.
"In the beginning, the main operations were cerebral hemorrhage and trauma. Today, the number of patients with cerebrovascular disease and brain tumors is increasing. Neurointerventional techniques, neuroendoscopy techniques, neuromicroscopy techniques and other techniques can be well used in our hospital."
Herdsmen from remote pastoral areas in Alxa, ordinary citizens from other provinces, infants who haven't learned to walk, grandmothers who are nearly 90 years old... Over the years, Wu Rile has lost count of how many patients he has received.
"In the past, many surgeries could only be transferred to Beijing, or experts from other places could be invited to perform them. Now, Inner Mongolia has the ability to perform autonomous operations for complex surgeries."
Among cerebrovascular diseases, stroke (commonly known as stroke) has the characteristics of high morbidity, high mortality, and high disability rate. one.
"In the past, the local people had no awareness of stroke prevention. Over the years, we have been focusing more and more on the screening and prevention of stroke." Today, popular science prevention has become another important task for Wu Rile. Grassroots free clinics, daily lectures... Little by little, scientific ideas were spread.
It is understood that Inner Mongolia People's Hospital has become a stroke screening and prevention base of the National Health Commission and a national-level intravenous thrombolysis training base for stroke.
In 2020, Wu Rile organized the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Neuroscience Society, which currently has more than 200 members in hospitals and universities across Inner Mongolia.
"In the past, some disciplines were fighting alone. This platform hopes to bring together clinical and scientific research talents from different regions and different directions, and exchange and collide to create more possibilities." (End)
