The da Vinci robot operating room in Taiwu Hospital was in high demand. It could not be arranged in advance like a normal operating room waiting for doctors. Doctors could only wait for machines.
The Ling Treatment Group did not have any special privileges here. They could only watch people rearrange the operating theater in the inner room through the glass.
Ling Ran took some time out to look at the patient who had just undergone surgery. This was a strong man in his forties. The holes in his stomach had been bandaged. His face was still pale, but it was mainly because of anesthesia.
From the indicators of the instrument hanging on the wall, the patient's condition was stable. Although his heart rate was low, it was still within the range. Ling Ran felt a lot more at ease.
Based on the logical thinking of a paramecium, the main signs of the body did not change when all the operating methods of the patient remained the same and only the surgical equipment was changed. This at least meant that the mechanical arm of the da Vinci robot was not poisonous!
After a while, another patient was sent in.
"Doctor Ling, this is a splenectomy." The middle-aged doctor spoke through the walkie-talkie on the wall through the glass window.
Ling Ran nodded and went forward to check on the patient's condition.
When it was about time, the anesthetist began to intervene. Ling Ran returned to the operating room. When he was about to change his clothes, he stopped and stood in front of the glass window in disappointment.
The middle-aged doctor drank half a cup of coffee in one go, rubbed his hands, and said, "Doctor Ling, splenectomy is relatively difficult. You may have performed open or laparoscopic splenectomy, but there are still some differences when you use the da Vinci robot. If it's difficult for you to be the chief surgeon …"
"I'll do it." Ling Ran firmly interrupted the middle-aged doctor's words.
His splenectomy skill level was Perfect Level, which was completely different from cholecystectomy. Even if he used the da Vinci robot, in such a difficult surgery, his understanding of the surgical method and various medical knowledge during the perioperative period would far surpass his understanding of the instruments.
Zuo Cidian and the others even smiled knowingly.
The middle-aged doctor pursed his lips and said, "I know that splenectomy is a common surgical method in the Emergency Department. That's why I chose splenectomy. However, splenectomy performed by the da Vinci robot is different."
"Doctor Ling will try first." Zuo Cidian did not make any promises.
The middle-aged doctor hummed and did not dare to boast.
He naturally did not choose splenectomy because it was a common surgical method in the Emergency Department. From the perspective of his heart, he really wanted to make things difficult for Ling Ran and show off. First of all, you could not choose a surgery that the patient did not want to perform at all. That would not be making things difficult for the patient. You would be being irresponsible to the patient. It would be fine if the patient did not get what he wanted, but if he did, it would be the same as raping a young widow at the top of the Forbidden City. You might feel good for a moment, but you would be buried for the rest of your life.
But if he wanted to choose other surgical methods, he obviously ran into a problem when he was secretly looking for other surgical methods. Ling Ran's surgical coverage was too wide.
Forget about cardiovascular surgery, which was a surgical method that he could not even come into contact with in minor general surgeries, Ling Ran had basically performed surgeries on general surgeries from the stomach to the intestines, and he had even published research papers on them. Just looking at the densely packed word "liver" made the middle-aged doctor's little liver tremble a little.
It was no joke that hepatectomy was known as the crown jewel of all surgeries. Ordinary elite doctors might not even have the chance to dabble in hepatectomy when they were middle-aged. If he was not an elite when he was young, he would not even be able to be one when he was middle-aged, just like the middle-aged doctors.
In short, the middle-aged doctors could not even perform surgeries that were too difficult and unconventional, and there was no room for them to perform. Splenectomy was already within his range, and it was a more suitable choice. Of course, he also needed suitable patients.
For example, in Taiwu Central Hospital, which was one of the top tertiary Grade A hospitals in the region, the middle and senior doctors all held a stack of hospitalization forms for patients who had scheduled surgeries. Because there were not enough hospital beds, and the patients' conditions were not urgent, they could only make arrangements when there was a gap. When there was a vacancy, they would call the patient to come to the hospital for surgery. The middle-aged doctor also looked for a few doctors he was familiar with before he chose the one who was willing to use the da Vinci robot to perform splenectomy.
Using the da Vinci robot to perform splenectomy was actually considered a high-end operation of the da Vinci robot. It was impossible to completely copy the model of laparoscopy and open surgery, but there were some creative ideas.
The middle-aged doctor was quite experienced in this. He sat firmly in front of the control panel and said, "Doctor Ling, if you are confident, let's start. Doctor Ling, do you want to watch a surgery video? "
Ling Ran closed his eyes and pondered. He did not immediately answer.
The middle-aged doctor waited for half a minute and was ready to speak again.
At this time, Ling Ran opened his eyes and said, "It should not be a big problem if the dissociated splenic artery is ligated in advance. Splenic pedicle severed can be a backup plan. Hmm, I'll watch the surgery video if there's one. "
The middle-aged doctor was stunned when he heard that. He forced a smile, took out his phone, and scrolled through it for a long time.
The two questions mercilessly showed Ling Ran's understanding of splenectomy. The middle-aged doctor could not help but feel like he was trying to overtake a car at a corner, but he still found himself trapped in a trap.
Before he could scroll through it, Yu Yuan had already raised the phone screen that was as big as half her face and stood in front of Ling Ran. She placed the phone on her forehead, and her forehead was slightly propped up. The height was just right.
After Ling Ran thanked her, he quickly scrolled through the top of Yu Yuan's head, and in a short while, he finished watching the surgery.
Most of the steps did not actually need to be watched. The da Vinci robot was not a mysterious and special machine. Other than the abnormal angle of rotation of the mechanical arm, it did not change the nature of the surgery. In fact, the da Vinci robot was more about bringing benefits to the patient. It could allow doctors to complete the surgery with less trauma, and it could also allow doctors to carry out the surgery smoothly when they were physically weak or even when their hands were trembling. It also improved the field of vision and could help doctors clarify the relationship between tissues. But honestly, if they did not consider the patient's tolerance and only considered the surgery itself, most doctors would rather perform open surgery.
Open surgery was the romance of surgeons, and looking at the dripping blood was the passion of surgeons!
Of course, as the da Vinci robot became more popular, some new surgical methods would inevitably be invented, and some improved surgical methods would inevitably appear, but this did not mean that the old surgical methods could not be used, or that they were not useful anymore.
This was just like how automatic gearshift cars replaced manual gearshift cars. For novices or ordinary drivers, the world seemed to have changed a little. But for high-end racers, automatic gearshift was still good, and the era of manual gearshift was far from over. The skills from the era of manual gearshift were still useful, and more importantly, the logic of racing in the era of manual gearshift had not changed.
"Using the da Vinci robot, the relative relationship between tissues and tissues will be very clear." Ling Ran nodded, looked at the middle-aged doctor, and said, "Then, shall we start the surgery?"
"If you think there's no problem, then we can start." The middle-aged doctor was originally waiting for Ling Ran's humble consultation. After all, videos and actual operations were still different. Otherwise, why did so many young doctors from small hospitals in remote areas not make a name for themselves? There would always be a few children who were willing to seriously watch videos and even memorize videos.
However, if Ling Ran did not ask, the middle-aged doctor did not bother to say anything. Or rather, he did not know how to say it. He could not ask Ling Ran for a lesson, right?
So, all his thoughts eventually condensed into one thought, and it was the same as when he went on stage for the surgery. 'I'll wait for you to ask.'
And behind the control panel, among the doctors who looked up and watched, Ma Yanlin's thoughts were much heavier. 'This world seems to be a little different from what I imagined.'
