Although in the end, the patient and the patient's family reached a consensus to absolutely adopt the third plan. The brilliance and persistence of motherhood gave the child a chance of survival.
However, even so, it was just wishful thinking.
Asia, including the island countries with the highest medical technology, had never done a similar surgery.
This plan was just a plan. The success rate would definitely be very low if it was the first attempt. According to the speculation of the expert team, a 10% success rate was an overestimate.
The hospital and the patient's family entered a standoff.
Out of the protection of the adult and out of medical ethics, the hospital was still inclined to do surgery. Chief Liu Cixi had already brought his medical team to the Women's and Children's Hospital, ready for surgery at any time.
"Doctor, I also want to only operate on the child." The pregnant woman's husband was an honest man in his forties. He had a worried face and half of his hair had turned white in recent months.
He had been looking forward to the child being born smoothly, but he had encountered such a problem. This made the man frown and suffer every day.
Life was so difficult that he would rather be the one lying on the operating table for heart surgery than the unborn child.
He said with difficulty, "But my wife firmly disagreed. She said that if she were to die, she would die with the child."
Director Chen shook his head slightly and said, "About a 10% success rate is too low. I don't recommend it."
The man was in a dilemma.
To protect the adult or the child? Under the powerful pressure of this eternal question, he almost collapsed.
In fact, there was no choice. He had to protect the adult. However, the pregnant woman insisted and the family could not do anything.
The office fell silent again.
There were too many people attending the meeting, so the air in the spacious office was dirty. Everyone felt a little difficult to breathe.
The man sat in the chair, his back bent forward, holding his head in pain. No one knew what he was thinking.
Everyone was waiting for the patient's family to make a decision, but the patient's request was unacceptable from a medical ethics point of view.
After another ten minutes of silence, the man said in pain, "I … I'll go and persuade her again."
After saying that, he stood up and left the office desolately and helplessly.
After the patient's family left, the atmosphere in the office became a little more lively. After all, there were many things that could not be said in front of the patient's family. After he left, they said whatever they wanted to say and seized the time to speak freely.
"Chief Wang, your explanation to the patient's family was a little thoughtless," Director Chen said sternly. Director Chen said sternly, "Intrauterine intervention has not been carried out in Asia. Why are you telling the patient's family about this possibility?"
Chief Wang of the obstetrics and gynecology department was a veteran chief. Originally, she could have been promoted to deputy director long ago, but she gave up all the opportunities and stayed in the clinic.
She did not like the working atmosphere in the organization.
"Director Chen, at that time, I thought that this was a win-win solution, and there were hundreds of successful surgeries in the world," Chief Wang said frankly. "It's not impossible."
"Who are you looking for? No one has done it, "Director Chen said unhappily.
To her, Director Wang's instructions were superfluous.
Neither Union Medical College Hospital nor Fuwai Hospital had performed this kind of surgery before. Looking at the capital, looking at the whole country, and even looking at the whole of Asia, this was a forbidden zone.
The implementation of intrauterine interventional surgery was like a treatment method for adults. This was the most dazzling pearl in the crown of fetal medicine.
It was just that no one in the country had plucked this pearl.
"Recently, Boss Zheng of the 912 has been recommended for the Nobel Prize with the TIPS surgical method. His level of intervention is quite high." Chief Wang said very seriously, "Moreover, his level of cardiovascular surgery is also quite high. I think he's a suitable candidate."
"Boss Zheng?" Director Chen remembered a few things that had recently been noisy in the medical world in the capital for a period of time.
That arrogant and despotic young man?
"But this is a fetal surgery, an intrauterine surgery," Director Chen said in a deep voice.
"It's precisely because of this that no one has done intrauterine surgery before, so it's only right to choose a person with the highest level of skill to do it," Chief Wang said. "I think Boss Zheng can increase the success rate of the surgery to about 30%."
30% … That was only a small probability that the hospital could not bear.
"Chief Wang, do you really think Boss Zheng can do it? I heard that he's arrogant and despotic. He's young and reckless, "Director Chen said helplessly.
If possible, no one wanted to deal with an arrogant and despotic young man.
"It's just a rumor. Besides, as long as it can improve the survival rate of pregnant women and children, I don't think anything else can be considered," Chief Wang said as she adjusted her reading glasses.
"I …"
"This is my suggestion. Director Chen, if you can find a better interventional surgery expert than Boss Zheng in the Imperial Capital, or abroad … Forget it, sigh." Chief Wang knew that what he said was a little too much.
It was not a problem of money at all to invite a foreign expert to make a special trip to perform the surgery in a short period of time.
Who would care about money when they could perform intrauterine interventional surgery?
Without a fairly familiar and reliable relationship, without the accumulation of feelings from academic conferences, no one would be willing to come.
After all, even if foreign experts had successful cases, in the face of this kind of surgery with a 50% probability of failure, they would basically choose to refuse.
No one would casually agree to go out to perform an uncontrollable surgery.
The Imperial Capital, the level of intervention was higher than Boss Zheng … He was a candidate for the Nobel Prize. Just this title alone was enough.
Director Chen thought for a moment and nodded. "Chief Wang, then I'll try to contact the 912."
As he said that, Director Chen stood up and walked out.
..
Zheng Ren sat in the operating room outside the operating theater, thinking about the matter of the doctors who were in training rotating to perform the surgery.
He could not just let them work but not let them perform the surgery.
He had to learn what he needed to learn and knock on the door.
In the operating theater, today's surgery was already the last one.
After the surgery to remove the PICC catheter, Zheng Ren felt that his surgical skills had improved again. Especially after the surgery for his mother-in-law, he felt that his surgical skills had undergone an inexplicable change.
Before that, when he saw Professor Rudolf Wagner's surgery, he felt that there was almost nothing to be picky about.
But now, it seemed that there were still many areas that could be improved.
Zheng Ren was very satisfied with this. It seemed that the peak was not the last stop. After the peak, there was still a mountain that was higher than the previous one.
[They said to write quickly …]
His phone rang. Zheng Ren picked it up and saw that it was a call from Director Yan.
"Director."
"I'm in the operating theater, watching the surgery."
"Okay, I'll be in your office right away."
After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he did not immediately go to Director Yan's office as he had said. Instead, he watched the surgery for a few more minutes.
After Professor Rudolf Wagner put the stent in and the blood flow was smooth, he said something to the inside and turned around to change his clothes.
