Wang Na

Wang Na

Wang Na suffers from a rare "congenital bilateral zygomatic maxillofacial deficiency" and facial deformity. Her nose, which should have been raised in the center of her face, is concave, and it is squeezed together with the mouth without upper teeth to form a hole, which is called pit face girl. This disease is very rare and difficult to cure. Wang Na was abandoned by her parents shortly after she was born. A couple in Majiazhuang, Heyang County, Shaanxi province adopted her and began a long journey to seek medical treatment. On May 17, 2013, Wang Na, known as "pit face girl", was happy to have her son after her successful plastic surgery.

One stage operation

Pit face girl

September 6, 2006 is a very important day for "kengmian girl" Wang Na. Maybe her life will change as a result. On the same day, the world's first "congenital bilateral cheekbones and maxilla missing" repair and reconstruction operation was successfully performed in the Stomatological Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University. Wang Na has been transferred from the operating room to the intensive care unit and will be out of danger in two days.

Mother stayed up all night

Wang Na, the "kengmian girl", was pushed from the second floor ward to the fourth floor operating room by the medical staff of Stomatological Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University. Li Jingyun, the adoptive mother, bent over and took Wang Na by the hand, kept telling her daughter not to be nervous when entering the operating room. It is understood that she did not fall asleep all night for her daughter's operation. When Wang Na and the medical staff slowly pushed her to the operating room, she was both excited and nervous. She was excited that her daughter had lived in the hospital for more than 40 days. Finally, on the day of the operation, her daughter no longer had to dodge to be a human being. What she was nervous about was whether her daughter could successfully complete such a big operation. Because I couldn't sleep, I got up at about 4 a.m. and went to the hospital from my rented house to wait for my daughter's operation. At about 5:00, the medical staff came to the ward and began the final preparation for Wang Na before the operation.

Mother knelt down to pray

At 8:10 on September 6, 2006, accompanied by her mother, Wang Na was pushed into the operating room. In the hospital, Li Jingyun, who was inseparable from his daughter, thought that her daughter was going to have an operation soon. Suddenly, he felt as if he had overturned the Schisandra bottle. He was so worried that he burst into tears. At 8:25, facing the blue door of the operating room, she knelt down in front of the door of the operating room. Her excitement, nervousness and worry turned into tears. She kept praying for her daughter, hoping that her daughter's operation would go smoothly, and thanking the medical staff of the stomatological hospital for their kindness.

Wang Na's mother, for her daughter, has been kneeling on the ground for nearly 20 minutes, and finally stood up under the persuasion of people around her. And the father standing on one side, leaning against the wall, kept wiping his tears with his sleeves.

Father arrived in Xi'an in the early morning rain

In order to catch up with the operation, Wang Na's father, Wang Youren, rushed to Xi'an from Heyang at 1 a.m. on September 5, 2006. Yesterday, in front of Wang Na's operating room, her father was very haggard and leaning against the wall. The reporter learned from their conversation that the long-distance bus from their home to Xi'an is only once a day, and the time passing by them is one o'clock in the morning. Originally, he wanted to arrive in Xi'an on September 4, but because it was raining heavily in Heyang and the road was muddy, in order to wait for the car, he didn't sleep all night and kept going out to see if it was there. Although he didn't rest all night, the coach passing through their village didn't come. In the early morning of September 4, he called Wang Na's mother and daughter in Xi'an, telling them not to worry.

At about 1:00 a.m. on September 5, 2006, Wang Na's father finally waited for the bus. For several hours on the road from Heyang to Xi'an, he watched the sleeping passengers around him, but he couldn't sleep. As soon as the car arrived in Xi'an, he went straight to the ward of his daughter in the Stomatological Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Xi'an. Standing outside the door of the operating room, he was staring at the door of the operating room, silently chanting, hoping that his daughter would be the same as normal people, and the old couple would be relieved.

The operation was successful in more than four hours

At about 8:00 on September 5, 2006, Wang Na, a "kengmian girl", entered the operating room. At about 9 o'clock, after intensive preparation, anesthesiologists began to carry out general anesthesia and disinfection. At 9:30, the operation officially began, and four experts began the operation. In this step, doctors should be careful. If they are not careful, they will damage the facial nerve of patients, leading to nasolacrimal duct obstruction, blindness and other diseases.

At about 10 o'clock, the operation began to enter the most critical step. In order to make use of Wang Na's original bone, experts began to cut the bone, including the nasal root, the medial wall of the orbit and the medial side of the infraorbital wall, to prepare for zygomatic traction.

At 11:30, experts began to place the extracranial fixation traction bracket. The position and direction of the bracket are related to whether the traction force is effective and reliable, so it needs to be placed according to the preoperative design. Because of the poor development of facial bone, it is very weak. If it is not well connected with the afterburner, it is easy to slip and cannot be pulled, which leads to the failure of the operation. After nearly half an hour's efforts, the bracket was successfully installed, and everyone was relieved. At about 12:00, four experts began to sew up the surgical wound for Wang Na. At about 12:20, the first stage operation of "kengmiannu" facial repair was a complete success. Everyone in the operating room was very happy about it.

Parents were the first to rush into the operating room

News of the success of the operation has just spread, Wang Na's parents have been waiting in front of the operating room door, from time to time to the operating room.

"Come out!" I don't know who called out suddenly. Liu Yanpu, director of maxillofacial surgery in the hospital, and several medical staff pushed Wang Na out of the operating room. All the anxious people rushed to the door of the operating room. Wang Na's parents were the first to rush into the operating room and rush to her daughter's bed, shouting her daughter's name.

It is understood that the complexity and risk of Wang Na's facial repair surgery is the first in the world. In order to ensure the success of the operation, the hospital has drawn a group of experts. Mao Tianqiu, Liu Baolin, Zhou Shuxia, the top experts in oral diseases in China, and more than 20 experts and professors have consulted for six or seven times before deciding the best plan for Wang Na's facial repair surgery.

According to Associate Professor Shang Hongtao, there is only one expert for general surgery. This time, the hospital sent four experts at a time, which is unprecedented. Zhao Yimin, President of the hospital, said that they are very confident in the operation, and the success of the first stage operation is expected.

The second operation was performed three months later

"The operation was quite successful. Because it was quite smooth, the operation was a little earlier than expected." Liu Yanpu, who just walked out of the operating room, said. According to Director Liu, from the beginning of the operation to the end of the operation, the whole process is relatively smooth due to sufficient preparation. Because Wang Na's facial bone is poorly developed and very weak, if it is not well connected with the force adding device, it is easy to slip and cannot be pulled. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the titanium mesh on the anterior wall of the maxilla to increase its stress area. On that day, three pieces of titanium mesh were used for Wang Na. After the operation, the hospital will conduct traction on Wang Na's zygoma, which is expected to be 15 mm, less than 1 mm per day. Twenty days later, the traction operation was basically completed. After more than two months' rest, the hospital will perform a second operation.

After the operation, Wang Na was sent to the intensive care unit of the hospital, where she was able to communicate with her mother in a slight voice. He Lisheng, deputy director of the surgery, came to the ward to see her and let her have a good rest before she could change her clothes. According to director he, Wang Na will go through the dangerous period and transfer to the general ward in two days.

Wang Na lives in Majiazhuang, Heyang County, Weinan, Shaanxi Province. Her family is located in a small gully with inconvenient transportation. In order to operate on her, her father has sold a sheep and a calf. Before the operation, his father began to plan to sell the family's cattle. During the hospitalization, many medical staff brought delicious food from home or gave her daughter's clothes to Wang Na.

It is understood that Wang Na's entire facial reconstruction takes about a year, and the operation cost is as high as more than 200000 yuan. It's hard for a poor family to bear in any case. In 2006, Wang Na underwent an operation. Although the hospital has told her family not to worry about the medical expenses, the hospital still calls on all the staff of the hospital to raise money. Meanwhile, president Zhao Yimin also implored the whole society to lend a helping hand to such a rare "pit face girl" in the world.

Second stage operation

On the afternoon of April 18, 2007, the second stage operation of Wang Na, the world's first "pit face girl", which lasted 11 hours, was successfully completed. Wang Na has entered the intensive care unit to receive 24-hour nursing.

After more than seven months of waiting for recovery, Wang Na, the world's first "pit face girl", underwent the second stage operation of facial reconstruction

The operation was successfully performed in the Stomatological Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University on April 18, 2007. Wang Na, a disabled abandoned baby who was adopted by Wang Youren, a farmer in Heyang, Shaanxi Province 18 years ago, was given free treatment by the first-class medical experts in the Stomatological Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University with the help of love from all walks of life. She is expected to repair the pit face and have the face of a normal girl.

As the world's first case of "congenital bilateral zygomatic maxilla missing" repair and reconstruction surgery, on September 5, 2006, the Stomatological Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University successfully implemented one-stage zygomatic traction surgery for Wang Na, and Wang Na's condition has been widely concerned by the whole society.

This time, Wang Na's second stage facial bone grafting operation is the core of the whole series of operations. Although the hospital has carried out a "simulated operation" on the computer-aided design model in advance, the size and position of the bone grafting is directly related to Wang Na's future appearance. Therefore, the whole operation requires high precision and difficulty, and the time span is the longest.
