Man plays guitar during brain surgery

A MAN from Jilin Province played the guitar during a brain surgery that successfully brought backthe function of one of his fingers in a Shenzhen hospital yesterday.

The surgery was to cure a neurological disorder that had affected his right middle finger for 23years and ruined his career as a guitarist.

Li Xiaonan, 57, majored in guitar performance in college but the middle finger of his right handbegan going stiff when he was 34. Li had to stop and rest the finger before it would becomeflexible. It affected his ability to play the guitar or write, Li said.

He went to different hospitals across the country over the past two decades, where he wasmisdiagnosed with Parkinson’s or told he simply had psychological problems.

The medication he was prescribed didn’t fix the problem, but left him suffering from side effects.

Earlier this month, Li went to Shenzhen No. 2 People’s Hospital where Dr. Cai Xiao-dongdiagnosed him as having focal hand dystonia (FHD), a disorder more common among athletes andmusicians that causes a loss of control in certain muscles.

Li talked for two hours during his first meeting with Cai, who later decided to give him a brainsurgery called deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Li was asked to play the guitar going into the operating room yesterday to see how his fingermoved before being treated, and then play the guitar again while he was on the operating table tohelp the doctors decide where to stimulate in his brain with electricity through two holes doctorsdrilled in his skull.

“The operation was successful and he could play the guitar very smoothly after we found the rightplace to stimulate,” said Cai. “Li’s daughter had hoped her father could teach her to play theguitar, and it will be possible after what we saw during surgery.”

FHD is not rare, but using DBS to treat it is very rare and the surgery on Li was the seventh of itskind in the world, Cai said.Li plays the guitar in the operating room yesterday.
