After Ma Yanlin finished the surgery, he got down from the control panel and started to move around.
While Ling Ran went out to check on the patient's condition, Ma Yanlin, who was the surgical assistant, had nothing to do. It would take a while for the room next door to be ready. Ma Yanlin ate some unknown pastries with his coffee before he moved closer to Zuo Cidian and whispered, "Department Director Liang seems to be jumping around. Is it because there aren't enough patients?"
"Yes." Zuo Cidian nodded and looked around. When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he said, "He should have gotten the patients from the Emergency Department. But we need patients who are willing to perform da Vinci surgery. They only got two patients from the Emergency Department, and that's definitely not enough."
"No one can make Doctor Ling perform the surgery this way." Ma Yanlin sighed and said, "Chief Liang probably hasn't had time to think about the hospital beds. By the time he thinks about the hospital beds, his blood pressure will probably soar to 180."
"So, we're not trying to cheat people. Since we said that we're giving them our signatures, we definitely won't make them think that this signature is worthless." Zuo Cidian laughed as he spoke.
They did not come to Taiwu Central Hospital prepared, mainly because robotic surgeries were relatively rare. If they suddenly came to Taiwu Central Hospital, they would not be able to get close to them even if they wanted to. Therefore, it was normal for them to be treated with indifference. However, it was also normal for them to look for trouble at this time.
"When are you going to sell it? I don't want to be cut off later. "Ma Yanlin was also very familiar with Zuo Cidian's tricks. Over the past two years, they had been performing freelance surgeries in many hospitals all over the country, and they had encountered all kinds of local tyrants. Zuo Cidian had also tried a variety of methods to make the Ling Treatment Group seem to have a smooth and peaceful life.
"In another ten minutes." Zuo Cidian shrugged and said, "When he really can't find a suitable patient, I'll suggest him to look for a hepatectomy case."
"Huh? Can it be done?" Ma Yanlin was a little surprised. The difficulty of hepatectomy itself was extremely high. If it was performed with da Vinci, the risk of just practicing was not small, especially when they were performing freelance surgeries.
"Doctor Ling said it can be done."
"That's true. The worst-case scenario would be a laparotomy." When Ma Yanlin thought about this, he could not help but feel sentimental. "If that's the case, if Department Director Liang wants to carry out hepatectomy using the da Vinci robot, he might have to beg us for help."
Open surgeries were insurance for laparoscopic surgeries. Whether it was laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, or hysteroscopy, as long as they were done step by step, it would be an excellent surgical plan as long as there were no problems. However, if something unexpected happened, open surgery would be the last insurance measure.
It was precisely because of this that the earliest hospitals in the country to develop laparoscopy and cardiac stents were all general surgeries. The hospitals that developed cardiovascular surgeries the most were the hospitals that developed cardiovascular surgeries the most. If they did not do so, the development of new surgeries would basically be like duckweed without roots. In a hospital environment, no one dared to imagine that an operation would never go wrong, because once something went wrong, it would be a serious matter, and it would be life-threatening.
From the perspective of the system, it was not that accidents were not allowed. However, when it came to the investigation stage, whether there was sufficient preparation and whether the correct and sufficient rescue measures were taken were the key points in the discussion of death. For the da Vinci robot's surgery, before anything happened, it was naturally the most necessary method to perform laparotomy.
In fact, there was always a certain probability that something would go wrong when using the da Vinci robot to perform surgery, so they switched to open surgery. This was just like a pregnant woman who gave birth naturally. There would always be times when she was forced to switch to a Caesarean section. With the development of modern medicine, this was something that could not be helped.
However, if there was a problem during the switch to open surgery, or even worse, there was no preparation for open surgery, then it would not be a matter of helplessness, but a medical accident.
Zuo Cidian looked at Ma Yanlin in slight surprise. He rubbed his chin with his hand and said, "Young Ma, I have to say, your train of thought is quite ingenious."
"Hmm?" Ma Yanlin looked at Zuo Cidian in even more surprise. "What did you learn?"
"Taiwu Central Hospital is a general surgery department. The liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are not independent," Zuo Cidian said.
"They should also do liver surgery, right?"
"They do, but … Department Director Liang's expertise is in the pancreas and duodenum."
"That's still very good." Ma Yanlin sighed.
"It's good, but who in the general surgery department doesn't care about liver surgery?" Zuo Cidian paused and said, "Taiwu's general surgery department is so big, it's impossible that they don't have the ambition to do liver surgery, especially with the da Vinci robot. It's a good opportunity to overtake them …"
"Don't they do liver surgery themselves?"
"How many people dare to do this kind of surgery without a big boss? They are at most two lone wolves, and they can't do it. "Zuo Cidian became more energetic as he spoke.
There was one thing he did not want to tell Ma Yanlin. Just like what the empress dowager said, he would rather be a friend than a servant. He did not know the internal situation of the General Surgery Department in Taiwu Central Hospital, but based on Old Zuo's experience in traveling all over the years, the interpersonal relationships in tertiary Grade A hospitals in the world could only get worse.
Of course, there was a lot of speculation in this. There was no data or theory to support it, and it was a little gloomy. Old Zuo was not willing to say it to Ma Yanlin.
In any case, it was done.
Zuo Cidian spread his legs and swayed his confidence. When Department Director Liang Xue was alone, he went over.
In the afternoon.
After a simple Spanish risotto was cooked on a Japanese stove, Ling Ran's eyes were filled with all kinds of imaging data of liver.
Ling Ran looked at the CT scans and MRI scans with great interest. He even compared them with the previous imaging scans from time to time. He was very busy.
A few doctors from the General Surgery Department accompanied him, and they were obviously a little worried.
Department Director Hou Fu got the hint and said in a low voice, "Doctor Ling, take a look first. If it's not easy, we can put it aside for now."
"We can work together to perform the surgery." Department Director Liang Xue was more inclined to this plan. Just as Zuo Cidian and Ma Yanlin expected, Liang Xue wanted to perform hepatectomy, and he also knew Ling Ran's reputation in hepatectomy. After reading the related cases and reports again, Liang Xue even admired Ling Ran a little.
The difficulty of hepatectomy was too high. It was like the engine in aircraft manufacturing. If someone said that the other parts of the aircraft did not have technical content, it would definitely be nonsense, and he would be scolded by others. But the difficulty of manufacturing the engine was undeniable.
In terms of prestige, the engine manufacturing was definitely the most difficult. And when it came to the complexity of the problem, the engine would definitely be ranked first.
However, using the da Vinci robot was still a little different. Liang Xue was more like carrying out the surgery himself, and Ling Ran was protecting him.
"Let's take a look at the patient first." Ling Ran waved his hand. He still firmly held the power to make the decision.
Liang Xue hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end, he did not try to fight for it.
Without any capital, naturally, he could not "fight".
