I think Academician Wu Mengchao is a very respected doctor. Apart from his remarkable achievements in scientific research, he persisted in treating patients and saving lives all his life. Even though he later became an academician and director of the Institute, his daily work was very busy, but he still insisted on operating on the operating table. Apart from his professional spirit, he also had a feeling of compassion. Today, Xiaobian will tell you about the brilliant achievements of Academician Wu Mengchao. First, the father of China's hepatobiliary surgery.

In p>1956, Academician Wu began to devote himself to the research of hepatobiliary surgery. He translated and compiled the first professional materials in the field of hepatobiliary surgery in China, creatively put forward the five-leaf and four-segment method, successfully established the liver anatomical model, and invented many surgical methods, and constantly improved and standardized them. It is no exaggeration to say that before Academician Wu, there was no sub-discipline of hepatobiliary surgery in modern medicine in China, and Academician Wu laid the theoretical and technical foundation of this discipline. Second, good achievements have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.

Liver cancer may surprise everyone when they hear this word, and it is indeed true. Because liver cancer is generally found in the middle and late stages, the survival rate after surgical treatment is very low, and many patients in China are caused by cirrhosis, which makes the treatment more difficult. Academician Wu initiated a series of new therapies and achieved very good results in the treatment of liver cancer, especially small liver cancer. Basically, the 5-year survival rate after operation exceeded 8%. Third, be willing to train the younger generation of talents.

When Wu Mengchao first joined the work, he was patiently instructed by Qiu Fazu, so that he could achieve later achievements. So later, he was also willing to cultivate talents. Besides his own example, he also established the Wu Mengchao Foundation to help and support those good scientific research projects and outstanding talents. It is this kind of passing on from generation to generation and mentoring that has enabled our department of hepatobiliary surgery to be at the world's leading level for a long time.

Academician Wu passed away on May 22nd at the age of 99. I hope Mr. Wu will have a good trip! Please rest assured that the career you started will not be dusted by the younger generation.
