拉马特甘的野生动物医院经常接收到一些龟壳破裂的乌龟,但是最近一只龟壳严重破裂的北美水龟给那里的动物专家创造了一个挑战。
然而,专家尝试地采用著名外科医生Morris Topaz发明的一个治疗恐怖袭击受害者的装置来救治乌龟。Morris Topaz医生是哈代拉HilelYaffe医疗中心外科主任。
Instead, the veterinarians turned to the world of plastic surgery. Dr. Morris Topaz, Head of the Plastic Surgery Unit at Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera, is known for a device he conceived to treat terror victims. The animal specialists decided to try it out on the turtle.
该医疗装置本是为了救治皮肤大面积受损的病人。它通过一种特殊的胶针将两边的皮肤连接恰里从而无需向皮肤注入埋植剂。而通常救治乌龟的做法是医生在龟壳上钻洞,然后上螺栓并用线连接起来,使断裂的龟壳延展开来,这一次他们将这种独特的塑料装置粘在龟壳破裂的两边然后用特殊的胶针连接起来。
The device was created to help people who have lost large areas of skin. It connects two edges of existing skin, bringing them closer to one another with a special plastic string and thus eliminating the need for skin implants. When treating turtles, veterinarians usually drill holes in the carapace, screw bolts into them and connect with a wire, stretching out both sides of the fracture. This time, they glued the unique plastic device on both sides of the fracture and connected them with a special plastic string.
Seeing his device in action on a turtle, Topaz decided to donate the idea and the device itself to the Israeli Wildlife Hospital for future cases.
每年以色列野生动物医院都会接收到2,200多只受伤的动物,大概有60%能够被治愈并回到野外中。
More than 2,200 injured wild animals are brought to the Israeli Wildlife Hospital annually. Some 60 percent are treated, rehabilitated and returned to the wild.
