"There are two patients who can go on the operating table today. One of them is a lobectomy patient, and the other one is a patient with a hepatobiliary tumor thrombus." Liang Xue and Ling Ran walked side by side. When he said this, he hesitated a little and said, "These two patients have been accumulating for a long time, and we haven't decided whether we want to operate on them or not."
The lobectomy and the hepatobiliary duct were very difficult parts of the liver. The lobectomy was once regarded as a forbidden area in liver surgery because of its location. It was surrounded by a lot of large blood vessels in the liver, and it belonged to the center of the liver. It was very difficult to remove it. Moreover, unlike other parts where there would only be one wound after resection, there would be two wounds after resection of the lobectomy. The suture and recovery of the wounds were a big problem.
In the past, Wu Mengchao used a few months to conduct animal experiments in the laboratory. After he accumulated a lot of experience, he completed the Chinese breakthrough in this field in the summer of 1963. It was also this surgery that elevated Wu Mengchao from the "knife" in the field of surgery in China to the "knife" in the field of surgery in the world.
These two surgeries were extremely difficult in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. Even after Wu Mengchao opened up this field for half a century, it was still a field that many department directors of general surgeries or hepatobiliary surgeries in top tertiary Grade A hospitals had not touched.
It would be normal for Ling Ran to perform open surgery for these two surgeries, and they were also the type of surgery that Ling Ran had performed before.
However, they were going to perform da Vinci robotic surgery today. It would be a little difficult for them to choose between these two surgeries.
Liang Xue did not want Ling Ran and the others to be in a difficult position, so he explained, "It's mainly because I said it in a hurry. Yesterday was our Chief Physician Li's surgery day, and he performed the other surgeries. There are only two surgeries left, and they will be operated on tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
When he heard what Liang Xue said, Zuo Cidian, who was behind them, immediately asked, "Based on what you said, Chief Physician Li hasn't decided whether he wants to perform these two surgeries or not?"
"Yes, the physical conditions of these two patients are not bad, but Chief Physician Li is still a little hesitant. According to the plan, he wants to invite freelance surgeons from Beijing over … "Liang Xue was a little embarrassed and said," We suddenly proposed to perform hepatectomy, and there are only these two suitable patients here. Maybe we will have to wait for a few days. "
"Was he originally going to perform open surgery?" Zuo Cidian was the one who asked.
Liang Xue hummed in acknowledgment and revealed a little more. "Chief Physician Li's main project from last year to this year is the hepatic mesentery and hepatobiliary duct."
In truth, Zuo Cidian could already guess the cause and effect even without him saying it.
These two surgeries were equivalent to Chief Physician Li preparing to improve himself, or rather, additional questions. It was one of the efforts that Chief Physician Li made to improve himself. For the sake of safety, he invited experts from the capital to come over and support him, or simply to give him guidance.
There were basically two paths for high-ranking doctors to grow. One was to receive training from the super-high-ranking doctors in high-ranking hospitals and climb all the way from a resident doctor to an associate chief physician. The strong would inherit the mantle, and the losers would leave the country. Alternatively, he could set up his own sect and continue roaming the world of martial artists, visiting famous teachers, relying on himself, researching and researching, and building his own future.
Of course, the two growth paths could intersect, but the former could become the latter at any time, while the latter had a much lower probability of becoming the former.
"Then, is Doctor Ling going to perform the surgery with you, or with Chief Physician Li?" Zuo Cidian thought for a while and asked a key question.
Liang Xue glanced at Zuo Cidian with admiration and said, "If you don't mind, I'll be Doctor Ling's assistant."
"Alright." Zuo Cidian was relieved. He looked at Ling Ran and said, "Doctor Ling, which surgery do you think we should perform?"
"Let's do the hepatic mesentery first. The hepatobiliary duct tumor thrombus is more time-consuming, and we need to remove it bit by bit," Ling Ran said naturally.
Zuo Cidian was not surprised. He looked at Liang Xue and said with a smile, "Chief Physician Li, shall we do the hepatic mesentery first?"
"Okay." Liang Xue did not say anything else.
Both he and Zuo Cidian knew that they had given up on Chief Physician Li.
However, it was normal to give up on him. Liang Xue originally wanted to follow Ling Ran and freeload in hepatectomy. In fact, his skills in open hepatectomy might be a little worse than Chief Physician Li's. It could be said that he was not qualified to challenge the hepatic mesentery. After all, the direction of his clinical development was not hepatectomy.
However, using the da Vinci robot to do the hepatic mesentery would be different.
Forget about other things, using the da Vinci robot to perform hepatic mesentery was considered advanced in the world. This advanced technology would not only be recognized by the hospital, but also by the medical field in China. Even the hospitals and medical field in foreign countries would recognize it. With just a little bit of work, the Intuitive Surgery Company of the da Vinci robot would probably be willing to help promote it.
Although this was a little beyond Liang Xue's previous plans, when he thought about Ling Ran's previous operating standards and Ling Ran's skills in hepatectomy, Liang Xue was very confident.
Even if he thought about the worst-case scenario, at most, the da Vinci surgery would fail, and he would have to switch to open abdominal surgery.
With Ling Ran's achievements, it would be too easy for him to switch to open abdominal surgery for hepatic mesentery.
As for whether Chief Physician Li would be happy or not, Liang Xue did not really care about this from the perspective of the interpersonal relationships within the department. Besides, he was now considering getting involved in Chief Physician Li's field of expertise. Even if he used a more reasonable and euphemistic method, Chief Physician Li would still be unhappy when he should be.
As they talked, they decided on the next surgery. Liang Xue no longer hesitated. He led Ling Ran and the others straight to the ward.
"Doctor."
"Chief Physician Liang."
The patient's family had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the doctors enter the ward, they stood up.
"Take a look at the patient's condition." Liang Xue did not introduce Ling Ran. He went forward first, rubbed his hands, and placed them on the patient's abdomen to perform a physical examination.
He slightly confirmed the patient's condition before he gave his position to Ling Ran.
When Liang Xue was performing the physical examination, Ling Ran had already wiped his hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer. At this time, he also rubbed his hands until they were warm, and he went forward to perform a more detailed examination.
Ling Ran's Perfect Level Physical Examination Skill, the practical experience of a Lion King, and the dissection experience of a thunder dragon with such a huge appetite gave him a lot of information in a very short period of time.
The patient was a slightly older middle-aged woman. She was a little dizzy from the fluid transfusion, but as Ling Ran pressed on her abdomen, she gradually frowned, but she still did not say a word.
The patient's son also frowned a little. He looked at Liang Xue and said, "Department director, if we're teaching and practicing, we shouldn't take too long …"
"I'll perform today's surgery with Doctor Ling." Liang Xue understood what the other party meant, and he replied with one sentence.
The patient's son immediately expressed his understanding, and he quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm not saying anything. It's just that my mother is sick, and she's a little anxious. Please don't take it to heart."
"It's okay." Zuo Cidian patted the other party's shoulder and comforted him, "Department Director Liang and Doctor Ling are very skilled. You're already sick, and it's good that they're operating on your mother. "
"Hmm …" The patient's son fell silent.
At this time, his mother looked at her son, sighed, and said, "I'm actually fine. It's just that this illness is too much of a burden to the child. Actually, if you ask me …"
"Mom." The son quickly interrupted his mother. "I was too busy before, and it's fine if I rest for a while. Don't worry about this …"
The doctors in the room were used to listening to the conversation between the patient and his family, but when they thought about the part where he was "too busy", they still empathized with him and fell silent.
Liang Xue gulped. He was originally excited because he was preparing for the surgery, but he gradually calmed down.
Ling Ran still had a calm expression on his face. After completing the physical examination step by step, he silently summoned the Virtual Human and did another round of examination.
"Rest well. Don't think too much. "After the examination was over, Liang Xue gave a few extra reminders before he went out.
The group returned to the corridor, and it became much quieter.
"I remember what Old Master Wu Mengchao said." Liang Xue suddenly sighed and said, "A good doctor only looks at the illness, but his heart thinks about the person."
