If Hua Tuo really did a craniotomy for Cao Cao, would it be successful?

Hua Tuo (c. 145 A.D. 208 A.D.), a native of Peiguo County, was a famous medical scientist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Hua Tuo, Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing are known as the "Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an". When he was young, he traveled abroad to study, and practiced medicine in Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, studying medical skills rather than seeking a career.

He has a comprehensive medical skill, especially in surgery, and is skilled in surgery. He is also proficient in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, and acupuncture. In his later years, because he was suspected by Cao Cao, he was tortured to death in prison.

Hua Tuo is one of the famous medical scientists in the history of our country, he practiced medicine in all directions, relieved the people, and was already famous in the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Cao Cao found Hua Tuo and let Hua Tuo have a headache for himself, Hua Tuo's approach to Cao Cao was that he wanted to open Cao Cao's skull and take out the blood in it before he could have a headache, so that the current netizens are very curious about whether Hua Tuo's craniotomy really has this medical skill, in fact, judging from the ** equipment of ancient medical treatment, Hua Tuo really does not have the ability to open his brain.

At that time, Cao Cao was frightened by Hua Tuo's idea, isn't this just Cao Cao's life, so Cao Cao ordered Hua Tuo to be killed at that time, for Hua Tuo's death, most people felt sorry, in fact, Cao Cao's approach at that time was not a problem, in ancient times, opening the brain was almost the rhythm of killing animals, and there was no support from modern science, so for Hua Tuo to say this, Cao Cao's decision at that time was also right.

Hua Tuo's original words to Cao Cao were to split Cao Cao's skull with a sharp axe, and the blood congestion inside could be healed, coupled with the proud hemp boiling, which could make Cao Cao suffer the lowest pain, the ancient ** conditions were limited, it was impossible to perform surgery under sterile conditions, if the patient was infected during the operation or after the operation, it was likely to die, modern medical technology is so developed, surgical infection often occurs, how to avoid it in ancient times?

In ancient times, there was no minimum first-aid equipment, such as ECG monitoring equipment, blood transfusion and rehydration facilities, oxygen inhalation equipment, etc., so, in this case, how did the brain surgery performed by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, including Hua Tuo, be carried out before? Hua Tuo only has theory and no clinical experience, so his craniotomy is only on paper.

Hua Tuo (c. 145 A.D. 208 A.D.), a native of Peiguo County, was a famous medical scientist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Hua Tuo, Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing are known as the "Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an". When he was young, he traveled abroad to study, and practiced medicine in Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, studying medical skills rather than seeking a career.

He has a comprehensive medical skill, especially in surgery, and is skilled in surgery. He is also proficient in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, and acupuncture. In his later years, because he was suspected by Cao Cao, he was tortured to death in prison.

I think that if Hua Tuo had done a craniotomy for Cao Cao, it should have been successful, because Hua Tuo's medical skills at that time were very superb.

It will not be successful, the conditions of the operation at that time are completely unable to keep up, and the slightest infection is a problem that cannot be solved.

No, because Hua Tuo had no way to give Cao Cao a blood transfusion, Cao Cao would die of excessive bleeding on the operating table.

After Hua Tuo's craniotomy was really made, his brain was exposed to bacteria from the outside world, and Cao Cao couldn't survive, and as soon as Cao Cao died, Hua Tuo would also be executed, and the operation would inevitably fail.

Hua Tuo is a very famous doctor in the history of our country, but he died in Cao Cao's hands because of a sentence, because Cao Cao found Hua Tuo at that time and gave Hua Tuo a headache for himself, Hua Tuo's method to Cao Cao was that he had to open Cao Cao's brain and take out the blood in it before he could have a headache. makes the current netizens still very curious about Hua Tuo's craniotomy? In fact, judging from ancient medical equipment, Hua Tuo really doesn't have the ability to open his brain.

At that time, Cao Cao was frightened by Hua Tuo's idea, didn't this just want Cao Cao's life? So Cao Cao ordered Hua Tuo to be killed at that time, and more people felt sorry for Hua Tuo's death. In fact, there was nothing wrong with Cao Cao's approach at that time, in ancient times, opening the brain was almost the rhythm of killing, and there was no support from modern science, so for Hua Tuo to say this, Cao Cao's decision at that time was also right.

Hua Tuo's original words to Cao Cao were to use a sharp axe to split Cao Cao's skull, and the blood inside could be healed by removing the blood inside.

From the current point of view, first of all, Hua Tuo doesn't know the location of the bruising at all, if he doesn't even know the location of the bruising after opening the braincase, it is also quite dangerous, even if he finds the bruising and successfully extracts the bruising, it will inevitably damage the brain nerves, and he will be crippled at least and killed at worst.

There is also the most important point is the problem of infection, the "pasteurization method" invented by the German microbiologist Louis Pasteur has made many people know why disinfection, in fact, there are many microorganisms and bacteria in the air, if the wound is directly exposed to the air, it is very likely that infection will occur.

So if Cao Cao chose to open his craniotomy at that time, the mortality rate was 100%, although Hua Tuo had done experiments on many corpses, but he did not expect microbial bacteria.

In ancient times, a small scar could kill a person, and the opening of the head was like a joke. Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, also thought that Hua Tuo wanted to take advantage of his life, so he killed Hua Tuo. Craniotomy is feasible in modern medicine, but it still carries a high level of risk.

In ancient times, there were not even the most basic disinfection and anti-inflammatory drugs. With such a large craniotomy, Cao Cao will die if he is not careful.

Although Hua Tuo has 10 years of medical experience, he is proficient in various methods. But even so, there is no precedent for craniotomy in history. Even if there were, none of them survived.

The operation on Cao Cao's head was not known whether it could be sterile under the conditions at that time, and whether the instruments could be completely sterilized. The massive hemorrhage caused by craniotomy is estimated to be difficult for Hua Tuo to control.

Secondly, the head is the most important part of the person, and the internal structure is very complex. Modern medicine is not completely sure that craniotomy is done, and if the position of the craniotomy is slightly deviated, Cao Cao may die on the spot. In ancient times, wound infections were fatal.

Even if Hua Tuo was a miracle doctor, it was impossible to perform a craniotomy under the conditions at that time. After this operation, Cao Cao's chances of survival are very low. If the operation is successful, it is difficult to complete the later recuperation and infection prevention work.

At the same time, Hua Tuo's craniotomy on Cao Cao is just a saying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If Hua Tuo really performed a craniotomy on Cao Cao, Cao Cao would definitely die. Although Hua Tuo's medical skills were recognized by later generations, it was extremely dangerous to perform such surgery under the medical conditions of the time.

Even if Cao Cao did not understand medicine, he would consider the dangers of surgery. After all, I had never heard of craniotomy before, and even if I was someone else, I wouldn't agree to it.

That's. In ancient times, there were no even minimum disinfection and anti-inflammatory drugs, and such a major operation could cause death if you were not careful.

I think that if this operation is really performed, Cao Cao will definitely die, there were no disinfection facilities at that time, and the method of stopping bleeding is also very simple, and Cao Cao may die of excessive blood loss before the operation is completed.

Although I am not sure whether Hua Tuo will be able to succeed in the operation, I personally think that if the operation is successful, even if there are no modern anti-inflammatory drugs and other technologies, at least Cao Cao may be able to live for a while longer!

In ancient times, a small wind chill could take a person's life, and a craniotomy was like a joke, which Cao Cao would not do.

I think Hua Tuo should not only be proficient in medical skills, but also know astronomy, geography, and tactics. If the book is lost, then the channeling technique and the five bird drama will also be lost, so I also think that craniotomy is unrealistic.

From the point of view of modern medicine, craniotomy is indeed feasible, but it still has a high risk, and there is no minimum disinfection and anti-inflammatory drugs in ancient times.

Ancient bacteria were weaker than they are now, so there should be hope for them with the power of miracle doctors. Not so that if you don't open it, you will die. As for how the craniotomy was done at that time? Is it the same as now? None of them can be verified.

I think Cao Cao will die, because the medical technology at that time was not so advanced, disinfection and other work could not be done enough, and Hua Tuo was not 100% sure of success.

In fact, I think I will still die, because this operation is really difficult, and the ancient medical facilities are very backward.

I think he will definitely die, even if Hua Tuo's medical skills are excellent, but in ancient times, all kinds of equipment were not advanced, and the disinfection was not in place, and he would be infected and die.

Personally, I think I will still die, because the ancient medical equipment was not complete and developed at that time, and the environment was not particularly good.

Hua Tuo proposed this treatment method for the first time, there was no successful precedent, it was appalling, Cao Cao did not dare, not to mention how superb Hua Tuo's medical skills were, how outstanding his insights were, and the actual situation he faced after the craniotomy may be much more difficult than he thought, so there is a high probability that Hua Tuo will fail.

I think that craniotomy is a very difficult operation in modern times, and it must be even more difficult in ancient times, so if Cao Cao really had a craniotomy, he would have died.

No, Hua Tuo's medical skills are superb.

Hua Tuo is a famous ancient doctor, whether he is treating the common people or the powerful in his life, he is conscientious, dedicated, and earnestly studied medical knowledge and human health care knowledge, and summed up a lot of medical experience. In the process of treating everyone's diseases, Hua Tuo is good at thinking and creating, and has mastered a lot of new technologies and knowledge to relieve everyone's pain. In the early years of the Three Kingdoms in which Hua Tuo lived, it was a period when the people were struggling to make a living for many years, and in such a backward era, Hua Tuo was very advanced.

In ancient times, there was a lack of scientific knowledge, science and technology were backward, and Hua Tuo was already proficient in surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, acupuncture and anesthesia, etc., after Cao Cao's headache attack for many years, Hua Tuo thought that only craniotomy could completely ** headache, and it was not unreasonable for him to make this decision. Cao Cao's headache is getting worse, it may be a brain tumor, and only by removing the brain tumour can he have a headache. Hua Tuo has already mastered the techniques of anesthesia and surgery, so it is not completely impossible.

However, under the historical circumstances at that time, it was impossible for Cao Cao to agree to this surgery, and if Cao Cao agreed to the operation, it would also be very risky. Although Hua Tuo had surgical skills, he could not achieve such skills at that time when he performed craniotomy on his head, and it was easy to cause accidents to patients. Even if it happens that the operation is successful, if the brain tumor is repeated, it may be even more serious, so many ideas are beautiful, but in practice, we cannot only rely on ideals, but also on actual conditions.

However, in any case, Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo because of this, it would be too brutal, and Hua Tuo could be held accountable, and the crime would not lead to death. After all, Hua Tuo is a benevolent doctor with rich medical experience and relieving people's pain, as long as he is cautious in the future, he is still a doctor who has been famous for thousands of years.

If Cao Cao agreed to Hua Tuo's "craniotomy", Cao Cao would have died. After all, even if it is a medical technology, it cannot support this operation.

I don't think that in ancient times, there was no ability to do this kind of surgery, Hua Tuo was very likely to fail, and Cao Cao would die directly on the operating table.

If Cao Cao really agreed to Hua Tuo's "craniotomy", I think Cao Cao would have died, and the medical technology at that time was not enough to support the craniotomy.

Even in the current era of good medical conditions, the risk of craniotomy is very high, the later complications are also very large, and even the future intelligence is also affected. So according to the conditions at that time, if Hua Tuo gave Cao Cao a craniotomy, Cao Cao would die!

In view of the lack of a sterile medical environment and sophisticated instruments and equipment at that time, Cao Cao was estimated to die on the operating table, so Cao Cao's craniotomy was not necessarily conceited.

At that time, the medical level was not up to the standard of craniotomy, and the operation was very dangerous, so I thought Cao Cao would die on the operating table.

The most critical history is not killing because of surgery. It was Cao Cao who killed him, but not because of the craniotomy. Even if the skull is really opened, even if Hua Tuo has such skills, the probability of death is 99%.

Even Hua Tuo couldn't do it, and the medical technology at that time didn't even think about doing craniotomy. Even the simplest anti-bacterial treatment is not good, let alone other more difficult problems.

Next, Hua Tuo opened Cao Cao's head for a long time and couldn't understand why he had a headache, after all, Hua Tuo was a traditional Chinese medicine. Then he put his head together and wrapped it with a cloth band, Cao Cao woke up and didn't have a headache for a while except for the pain of the wound, thinking that he had been healed, and rewarded Hua Tuo with a little money, Hua Tuo took the money and ran how far he ran into seclusion, because he knew that he was not cured. Later, Cao Cao hung up soon because of an infection in the wound, and Cao Pi sent someone to find out Hua Tuo and kill him.

Maybe Hua Tuo cured him, and he was no longer tormented by illness, and had the time and energy to continue to complete his ambitions; It is also possible that the operation will fail and die completely.
