On the day of the incident, Tongtong's parents were juicing watermelons in the kitchen. The cheerful noise of the machine attracted the curious Tongtong. She wobbled towards the operation table and, without her parents noticing, reached her small hand into the rotating juicer. The piercing sound of the machinery mingled with Tongtong's heart-wrenching cries, causing the entire family to instantly fall into chaos. When the parents saw their daughter's bloody left hand, their hearts almost jumped out of their mouths, and they immediately picked up Tongtong and rushed to the nearby hospital.

However, the road to treatment was much more difficult than expected. After visiting several hospitals in succession, all they were told was: "The condition is too serious. It is recommended to go to a provincial hospital." Every rejection felt like a heavy hammer hitting the parents' hearts. At this time, the continuous crying of the child and the gradually pale left hand were constantly reminding them of the urgency of time, but the journey to the higher-level hospital was too long, and they would inevitably miss the best time for emergency treatment. After much inquiry and contact, they were referred to the Hand and Foot Microsurgery Department of Yantai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment. 
When the child was sent to Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it was observed that her left hand had suffered severe crush injuries to the palm and the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. There was partial skin loss, nails falling off, exposed blood vessels, nerves, tendons, interphalangeal joints, and the injured fingers appeared pale and without blood circulation. The condition was extremely serious. Emergency department doctors quickly carried out emergency treatment such as wound dressing and hemostasis for the girl, and immediately initiated the emergency response plan and opened the green channel. Microsurgery experts in hand and foot surgery diagnosed that the child had multiple fingers with severe damage to blood vessels, nerves, tendons, soft tissues in multiple segments, some bones and joints exposed, skin and soft tissues in rope-like damage, and the injured fingers appeared pale and without blood circulation. If not repaired by surgery in time, not only would the finger functions be difficult to maintain, but there might even be a risk of amputation. Due to the child's young age, the tissues were thin and fragile, and the surgical operation required extremely high precision. Moreover, the risks of postoperative infection and vascular crisis were compounded. The hospital immediately organized experts from multiple departments including hand and foot microsurgery, anesthesiology, urology, intensive care medicine, and pediatrics for an in-hospital consultation to jointly formulate anesthesia, treatment and surgical plans. 
The surgery was conducted under general anesthesia. The anesthesiologist precisely determined the dosage of the drugs to ensure that the girl's vital signs remained stable throughout the operation. The urologist inserted a urinary catheter for the child. The operating room staff efficiently completed the preoperative preparations. The hand and foot microsurgery team transformed into "finger guardians", facing the tiny blood vessels with an inner diameter of only 0.1mm. With hair-like precision, they successfully completed a series of difficult operations such as vascular and nerve anastomosis, joint, tendon, and skin repair under high-power microscopes. Through close collaboration from all parties, the surgery was successfully completed. The child's previously pale and non-vascularized fingers regained their redness.

After the operation, the child was transferred to the intensive care unit for close observation and care. Under the meticulous care of the medical staff in the intensive care department, once the child's vital signs were stable, they were safely transferred to the general ward. Now, the child's wound has healed well and the finger flexion and extension functions are gradually recovering. The family is extremely excited.

The successful implementation of this surgery is a vivid illustration of the multi-disciplinary collaboration at Yantai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. By integrating the professional strengths of various departments and breaking down the barriers between disciplines, it has achieved seamless connection throughout the entire process from emergency rescue, surgical treatment to postoperative rehabilitation, building a life-sustaining network for critically ill patients. In the future, the hospital will continue to deepen the multi-disciplinary collaboration model, providing more efficient medical services and higher-level technical capabilities to safeguard the health of the people.
