On Sunday, Professor Chene and his team from Twin Cities Spine Center in the United States arrived at Xiehe Hospital.
The visiting team included Chene himself and a total of five people, which is quite a large team for regular exchanges.
Professor Chene has a stellar reputation in the field of spinal tumors and particularly in total vertebral resections. He has amassed a wealth of experience and stands as a representative figure of the Europe and America techniques.
Chene embodies both the typical virtues and flaws of an American. He is energetic, daringly innovative, yet arrogant and selfish at his core.
Chene had made modifications to the procedure of a total vertebral resection, making his new surgical method the best in the world. Professor Hu greatly admired Chene's surgical style, so he proposed to send someone to Twin Cities Spine Center for further studies and to learn Chene's new technique.
