It was very risky to treat her, but we had to, says the hospital s president, Fan Tianyong.
It is a hospital s duty to save lives even if the hope is very dim.
Luckily, the hospital had established a relationship with Topaz, who has superb experience and skills to treat such complicated conditions, Fan adds.
The minute I saw pictures of the patient, I felt I must go to the hospital for her, Topaz says.
On Dec 13, 2013, Topaz operated on Gong with physicians from the hospital.
In a four-hour operation, they removed the tumor tissues carefully, and used the TopClosure system to connect the two edges of existing skin with a special plastic thread, eliminating the need for skin-implant reconstruction.
The second day after the operation, Gong felt her pain easing. Within two weeks, the wound healed, and she was able to have radiotherapy. Now regular checkups indicate she is recovering from the cancer.
It was the first time in the world that such a large wound was healed without skin flaps and implants, according to Li Yongzhong, director of the hospital s burns and pl astic surgery department.
But that s just a sample of what Topaz has done to enhance medical cooperation between China and Israel.
In 2008, when news came that an 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan, Topaz volunteered to the province s foreign experts affairs bureau to help save critically injured victims.
