As Lu Wenbin performed the surgery, he secretly observed the young nurses around him, as well as the young nurses and female doctors who came to watch.
Lu Wenbin did not want to look for his other half in the Emergency Medical Center. Even if someone was willing, he would probably reject them!
However, the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery was different.
The Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery could no longer be said to be the grass next to the nest. This place was already far enough away from the nest.
Lu Wenbin's attention was especially attracted by the scrub nurse.
The young scrub nurse had small cheeks, a small chin, a small chest, and a small calf. The way she passed the equipment was quite gentle …
"Inhale," Ling Ran ordered.
Lu Wenbin puffed out his chest, raised his head, and sucked in his stomach. At the same time, he subconsciously squeezed the instrument.
A pool of dirty blood was sucked out of the abdominal cavity, exposing the hardened liver.
"The cirrhosis is more serious. Now, we'll perform blunt dissection." As Ling Ran spoke, he lifted the liver, and without hesitation, he waved his hand to separate the liver.
The more he used this move, the less impactful it would be to Lu Wenbin and the others.
Recently, when they ate grapefruits, they practiced peeling the liver with their hands. The grapefruit skin was used for suturing, and the grapefruit meat was used for peeling the liver. It could be said that the grapefruit's entire body was a treasure.
However, for the reporters, Ling Ran's action was very shocking.
He quickly raised the camera and pressed the shutter. Only then did he have time to adjust the angle.
Ling Ran did not even look at the reporters. He continued with his surgery.
Being a reporter was not something new to him. Even Lu Wenbin and the others had gotten used to it.
"Do you want to cut more?" He Yuanzheng, who did not express much of his opinion during the entire surgery, made a suggestion at this time.
He was an 'old' doctor in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. He had a lot of experience, and most importantly, he had a lot of experience in liver cancer surgery. In this regard, he was even better than Ling Ran, who had Master Level Hepatectomy.
Ling Ran obviously hesitated for a moment before he said, "Based on the volume we've removed now, the recovery of the liver is already very difficult."
After a part of the liver was removed, it had the ability to regenerate itself. This was also the foundation of hepatectomy.
However, even if it was self-regeneration, it still required a certain foundation. If too much of the liver was removed, the regeneration would be very slow. Of course, it was more likely that the patient's liver function was insufficient, and the patient would not even be able to make it out of the ICU.
He Yuanzheng, on the other hand, relied on his experience and said, "Based on the current stump, I think we need to cut a little more to clean up the cancer cells. Of course, this is also my personal habit. I'm used to cutting more … "
Lu Wenbin and the others couldn't help but restrain their expressions and obediently listen to the conversation between the two of them.
Those who had something better to do secretly glanced at the reporters, secretly looking forward to what would happen next.
The chief surgeon and the actual chief surgeon had a disagreement about the next surgery plan. The excitement and intensity of the surgery in the operating theater …
Especially with the presence of reporters, it would undoubtedly increase the intensity of the incident.
Even if Lu Wenbin was a little worried, he didn't dare to raise his head and interrupt. With Department Director Huo around, it was not his place to speak.
At this moment, Ling Ran also raised his head to look at He Yuanzheng, the reporters, and the others.
He Yuanzheng said, "The recurrence rate of liver cancer is very high. If we don't cut more, it'll be very difficult to guarantee the effect."
Ling Ran thought about it and said, "If we cut a little more, the patient may be in danger."
"If it relapses in a short period of time, it'll be worse than death," He Yuanzheng said earnestly. He had performed liver cancer surgery for a long time, and he had a deep understanding of this.
If the patient's cancer was stable and he could have a higher quality of life, then even if the cancer relapsed or metastasized, he would be more confident to go through a round of dangerous surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and so on …
However, if the patient's cancer was stable for a short period of time, and he fell into pain again just after he recovered from the pain, then the patient's desire to live would be greatly reduced.
The reporter raised his camera gently.
Huo Congjun frowned and wanted to stop him. This was a way to intensify the conflict.
At this moment, Ling Ran had already made a decision. "I'll listen to you, we'll cut more."
The people who were looking forward to a good show could not help but look disappointed.
If they were to put on a big show, such as the department director of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery tearing Ling Ran apart, or the Emergency Medical Center invading the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, there were simply countless shows that could be staged!
However, Ling Ran lowered his head to observe the patient's liver and lifted it halfway.
"The estimated surgery time will be increased by fifteen minutes." Ling Ran reminded the anesthetist before he once again focused on cutting the liver.
But this time, Ling Ran cut the liver in a much more detailed manner.
The patient today was in his sixties, and he was a patient admitted by the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. He did not have good living habits, and his liver cancer was also caused by recurrent hepatitis and cirrhosis.
This caused the quality of his liver to be abnormally poor. In Ling Ran's opinion, if he cut a little more, he might not be able to carry out the surgery.
However, He Yuanzheng's experience as the department director of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery was something that Ling Ran had to consider.
As he said, short-term relapse could be said to be an experience worse than death for patients with liver cancer. Many patients who did not have a strong desire to live often gave up active treatment at this stage and switched to palliative care.
It was really too painful. It was like torture, and not everyone could endure it.
Whether it was from the perspective of quality of life or the length of life, reducing the recurrence rate of cancer was what the chief surgeon should do.
Ling Ran carefully cut the liver, and he was no longer as bold and decisive as before.
The patient's liver function was not good, and if he removed too much liver tissue, even if he could leave the operating table, he would not be able to leave the ICU. Things like being able to leave the ICU completely depended on luck, and it was never Ling Ran's focus.
Not only did he have to remove cancerous tissue that could be removed, but he also had to remove some tissues that had not become cancerous but might have cancer cells proliferating … With this as a foundation, he still had to retain a little more liver function. Then, what Ling Ran could do was to remove some useless liver cells.
It was a difficult balance.
Ling Ran made his decision, lowered his head, and entered the operating stage.
For surgeons, the faster they made a decision, the better. Whether it was the best decision could only be determined when they discussed the patient's death.
He Yuanzheng was also a little surprised by Ling Ran's attitude.
In his imagination, a celebrity doctor like Ling Ran, who became famous at a young age, should not be arrogant and unruly, but the inherent conceit of a surgeon should also be extremely serious.
He did not expect that Ling Ran would accept his suggestion just like that.
This made He Yuanzheng admire him a little.
He turned his head and looked at Ling Ran's operation even more seriously. As he watched, He Yuanzheng gradually realized that Ling Ran's operation was actually very meticulous. Although Ling Ran's previous operations were also very meticulous, compared to his current operation, it was like the difference between braised tofu and Wensi tofu.
He Yuanzheng shuddered, and his whole body became nervous.
No surgeon would be so bored that he would inexplicably increase the burden of his own surgery by a large margin.
It was just like how professional athletes must compete with professional athletes to be able to achieve personal best results.
He Yuanzheng believed that Ling Ran would not suddenly increase the complexity of the surgery to such a high degree. The only reason was that the ratio of liver resection had really reached the limit.
This was digging at the edge of the limit!
"I'll be Doctor Ling's first assistant." He Yuanzheng watched the surgery for a while, and he already felt his blood boiling.
Extreme surgeries like this could not be performed all the time. Athletes could participate in all kinds of high-level competitions, but surgeons could only rely on waiting.
Extreme liver surgeries were surgeries that even He Yuanzheng could not perform!
