Chinese toddler recovering after "brain-shrinking" surgery



Chinese surgeons have successfully replaced a 3-year-old girl's skull with a 3D-printed titanium alloy substitute in a 17-hour-long operation. The girl had suffered from hydrocephalus, which had swelled her head up to 4 times the normal size. The surgery was performed at the Second People's Hospital in Hunan province. The doctors used 3D data and a computed tomography scanner to print three pieces of titanium mesh to replace the entire top portion of the child's skull. The first stage of the surgery was to detach the girl's scalp from her head. Then the surgeons inserted drainage tubes and pumped out the brain fluid before putting in the transplants. The girl, named Han Han, suffered from hydrocephalus, also known as "water on the brain." People with this illness have cerebrospinal fluid accumulating in their brain cavities. July 17








According to the Chinese news agency Xinhua, the operation was performed on July 15 [1].  A chart for the Mars-Pluto opposition that took place on the same day is shown here. According to the news the 3-year-old girl's skull was replaced with a 3D-printed titanium alloy substitute in a 17-hour-long operation.


In medicine, a prosthesis (plural: prostheses; from Ancient Greek prósthesis, "addition, application, attachment") is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. Pluto is linked to regeneration and medical astrology has long recognized Mars-Pluto to be associated with prosthesis. [2][3]

The MARS/PLUTO midpoint often can be found in connection with the replacement of natural organs or functions by artificial substitutes, such as arms, legs, joints, dentures etc.[2]

So Mars in hard aspect to Pluto and Saturn explains the operation but why on a little girl’s skull  that was filled with water? Notice that Mars is in the 5th house connected with children. Along with Moon, Mars conjoins  the Sun [22cn] which in turn is conjunct the star Pollux, beta (β) Gemini, in the head of the immortal Twin. The Sun makes a hard aspect to Neptune on the Ascendant. Neptune rules water and fluids in general.  Carrying, it one step further, we find Neptune is in the Indian lunar mansion Satabhisaj, “Requiring a Hundred Physicians” – a reference to a disease very difficult to cure. In addition on the MC are stars of Ophiuchus, the great Physician-Healer.
