After thirteen hours, Ling Ran finally completed the hepatobiliary tumor thrombus surgery.
This was also a very long time in his surgical experience. Aside from the patients with severe comprehensive diseases during the Emergency Department, patients with scheduled surgeries had never given Ling Ran such a long time of enjoyment.
When Ling Ran ended the surgery, he let out a long sigh and drank a whole bottle of Energy Serum to celebrate.
During the entire surgery, he drank three bottles of Energy Serum to maintain his extreme focus.
"Close the abdomen." Ling Ran entered the operating theater and reconfirmed the patient's condition before he gave the order.
Lu Wenbin and the others immediately got busy.
At the same time, the nurses also put away four specimen bags filled with cancer thrombus. Some people even took pictures out of curiosity.
"Doctor Ling, you've worked hard. The patient looks good. Do you want to rest first or …?" Department Director Liang came forward to greet Ling Ran. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. 'It's finally done.'
"Let's eat first." Ling Ran was not sleepy. On the contrary, he was a little excited. However, he was really hungry now.
Zuo Cidian secretly wiped his wrinkled, dirty, and greasy face. He came forward with a smile and said, "I've already informed Chef Zhu. We can almost eat when we walk over."
"Alright, let's go." Ling Ran took the lead.
Department Director Liang quickly caught up with him and said with a sigh, "Doctor Ling, you've worked hard. Since the surgery is done, why don't we go out and eat something? Let us be the host."
"It's not hard." Ling Ran cut off Department Director Liang's words and commented with a smile, "The da Vinci robot is very good to be able to perform such a long surgery."
"Huh?" Department Director Liang did not understand what Ling Ran was talking about. He immediately looked at Zuo Cidian.
Zuo Cidian wiped his face again. He thought about it and asked, "Doctor Ling, do you mean that … the da Vinci robot can make the surgery last longer, and it's more valuable?"
Ling Ran corrected him. "It's very difficult for patients who undergo open surgery to last for thirteen hours."
"You're right." Zuo Cidian understood now. He looked at Department Director Liang with an inquiring gaze as if he was saying, 'That's what happened, and that's what the situation is.'
Department Director Liang was speechless. "You're right. The patient underwent open hepatectomy and had his stomach open for thirteen hours. He should've died even if he didn't …"
"Moreover, it's exquisite and valuable." Ling Ran did not say anything more. He had never needed to fight for allies or companions. Those who understood would naturally understand, and he did not really care about those who did not.
From Ling Ran's point of view, the value of the da Vinci robot was reflected in the long duration of surgeries. It turned a violent open surgery into a gentle and sustainable endovascular surgery. It reduced the trauma during the surgery, and it also brought the surgeon's happiness to another level. Of course, what other surgeons thought of it was up to them to decide.
However, the surgeries performed in the future would also face new difficulties if they wanted to achieve today's duration.
On the one hand, it was because Ling Ran's skills had improved, and the surgery time was naturally shortened. On the other hand, it was not always easy to find patients who needed such a long surgery.
Although hepatocellular carcinoma thrombosis was a common disease, the goal of Ling Ran's surgery was to make the patient recover as much as possible. Correspondingly, the scope of the surgery was inevitably reduced. The scope of modern surgery was actually quite limited. Even if clinicians tried to expand the scope of the surgery as much as possible, there were still a large number of forbidden areas in the human body, and there were even more forbidden areas in combination.
From this point of view, the human body was a bitch. The more experience it had, the more forbidden areas there were.
This was especially so when Ling Ran did not pursue such simple surgeries. The opportunity to perform a thirteen-hour surgery became even more precious.
"Doctor Ling, today's main dish is Hungarian beef stew with red wine …" When Chef Zhu saw Ling Ran and the others, he was immediately filled with enthusiasm.
"Liver." Ling Ran's thoughts were disrupted. He skipped the greeting and directly ordered the dishes.
Chef Zhu was very used to Ling Ran's habits. He smiled slightly and said, "Then, use the simplest foie gras with bread. Add some refreshing fruits as seasoning. Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
He turned around and took out fresh foie gras from the refrigerator. After he was ready, he raised his head and asked insincerely, "How about you? Do you want to try foie gras? Today's foie gras is also very good. "
"Okay."
"Sure."
"Thank you."
The doctors who followed Ling Ran in nodded casually. Only a sweet-looking female reporter who followed them was stunned for a long time. Then, she looked at the fresh and large foie gras, covered her mouth, and ran out of the door.
The group of doctors did not even have the interest to discuss this matter. They chatted about the topics they liked.
Ling Ran ate quietly and tried his best to fill up his empty stomach.
At the same time, he was also thinking about the surgeries over the past two days.
Although each surgery was very smooth, there were different interpretations of the smoothness of each surgery. From Ling Ran's perspective, there were too many things for him to read.
"Doctor Zuo, what's the progress of the experts' consensus?" Department Director Liang saw that everyone was talking in low voices, so he also lowered his voice and asked Zuo Cidian.
Zuo Cidian took a sip of coffee and said, "When I go back today, I will send out the invitation letter. We will hold a press conference in a week at the latest."
"So soon?" Department Director Liang became suspicious and said solemnly, "Doctor Zuo, if you need my help, just tell me. You don't have to be polite with me. We have everything you need here …"
Although they were exhausted and used up a lot of hospital beds and other resources, at the end of the day, these were all normal resources, and many department directors in tertiary Grade A hospitals could provide them. In contrast, it was not so easy to obtain a national reputation. Even if it was only in a specific field, those who had a reputation would still have a reputation. Department Director Liang did not want anything else. He was willing to invest heavily just so that he could have a better reputation after his retirement.
Zuo Cidian was amused by Department Director Liang's expression. He coughed a few times and put on a serious expression. He said, "To be honest, Department Director Liang, we have basically prepared for this consensus. You just need to attend as usual. Usually, there won't be any problems."
Department Director Liang continued to look at Zuo Cidian with a suspicious expression.
Zuo Cidian had no choice but to use his French Versailles tone. "Department Director Liang, it's just a consensus among the experts. For Doctor Ling, the preparation is already very sufficient."
"Hmm …" Department Director Liang straightened his clothes.
"If you're worried … it's just as well. We also need people to cooperate with us. Why don't you send someone back with us so that we can catch up with the progress?"
"It's not that bad. What's there to be worried about?" Department Director Liang laughed. When he stopped laughing, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Zang Tiangong from our department is the one who wants to perform the surgery for the cancer thrombus. Why don't you let him follow you to Yun Hua Hospital? If there's a chance, he can accompany Doctor Ling to perform two surgeries."
"Sure." Zuo Cidian agreed immediately. He was very familiar with using temporary workers now, and he could use any kind of temporary workers.
