篇章：以色列外科医生的中国情结 An Israeli surgeon s dexterity treating the largest and most serious wounds has brought him to Sichuan province again and again, he tells Liu Zhihua. Moris Topaz finally had a good sleep on the flight from New York to China recently. The 63-year-old usually sleeps only three hours a day but that s enough, he says, to give him plenty of energy for his work. Topaz heads the plastic surgery unit of the prestigious Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera, Israel. He also serves as the secretary-general of the International Committee for Quality Assurance and Medical Technologies and Devices in Plastic Surgery. On this, his most recent trip to China, he was part of a delegation led by Ronni Gamzu, director-general of Israel s Ministry of Health, which aimed to strengthen the cooperation of health communities in the two countries. While cooperation may sound vague to outsiders, Sichuan resident Gong Fangxue has a very clear idea what that word means to ordinary people. If not for TopCloser, a groundbreaking method for closing large wounds that Topaz applied in her operation, Gong probably would have died from a huge malignant tumor. It was a unique case over a very big tumor. Usually with these kinds of tumors, we have to do complicated surgeries with skin grafts or flaps, Topaz says. |
