Lao He finally found Xie Ning in the last five minutes before the live broadcast of the surgery began.
Boss Zheng's future father-in-law was about the same age as Lao He. He was gentle and elegant, and there was a faint smile on his lips. His hair, tie, and clothes were meticulously taken care of. There was a mature steadiness in his exquisiteness.
"Uncle Ning, Brother Yun said that I'll explain the surgery to you," Lao He bowed slightly and said politely.
Xie Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw an old man who was not much younger than him call him Uncle Ning.
This was out of respect for Zheng Ren. Although Xie Ning knew it, he still felt that it was ridiculous.
However, he did not correct him. Instead, he made a gesture and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Lao He's smile was a little humble. When he thought that he was facing Boss Zheng's father-in-law, he felt inexplicably guilty.
If he offended Boss Zheng, perhaps he would be magnanimous and not care. However, if he offended his father-in-law, Lao He knew that he would definitely be kicked out of the medical team.
In the future, if he encountered any difficulties, Boss Zheng would be righteous if he did not add insult to injury, let alone help him.
Even if he did not make it so obvious, he would still be marginalized.
That meant that he was done for.
"Uncle Ning, are you using your phone or your PAD to watch the live broadcast?" Lao He asked.
"There's an LED screen next door. Let's go over and take a look." Xie Ning smiled and chatted with Lao He. "Are you also a member of the medical team?"
"Yes … I guess so," Lao He said. "This surgery involves the fetus and requires general anesthesia preparation. I don't have similar experience, so I didn't go."
"Yes, it's the first case in Asia. Other than Zheng Ren, no one else has experience." Xie Ning smiled and said, "Tell me about the surgery process. Sorry for the trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble," Lao He said repeatedly. His impression of Xie Ning was getting better and better.
"This time, Boss Zheng is going to do a left heart system aortic balloon dilation." Lao He crammed some knowledge. With his deep clinical skills, he could more or less say something.
"In 1991, Maxwell in the United Kingdom first reported two cases. From 1991 to 1997, 12 similar surgeries were reported worldwide. In 2004 … "
Lao He started to explain the history of intrauterine interventional surgery. Xie Ning listened very seriously and did not feel that this had nothing to do with the surgery.
In this regard, Lao He still made detailed and thorough preparations. Since it was a business negotiation, this was all a historical background. Naturally, the more detailed Uncle Ning knew, the better.
Fetal aortic valve surgery began in 1991, and pulmonary artery surgery began to be reported in 2002.
Old He's recitation of these data in a short period of time made his hairline move back by 1mm.
"What's the need?" Xie Ning asked after Lao He finished speaking.
"Fetuses with congenital heart disease are poorly treated after birth and have a high mortality rate. If we can carry out intervention treatment during the fetal period, we can correct the congenital heart disease or reduce the development of defects and improve the treatment effect after birth."
"The necessity is very great. No matter what, it's a small life. Before this, most of the children with problems had been induced. "Old He said.
"Yes, continue."
"This time, we're going to treat a fetus with congenital aortic stenosis. According to medical ethics, we must pay attention to the safety of the mother during this treatment." Lao He said, "I just asked Brother Yun. The Women's and Children's Hospital has already prepared for the surgical treatment of the newborn."
"Once the interventional surgery fails, we have to ensure the safety of the pregnant woman. Can you understand it this way?" Xie Ning did not stand on ceremony and asked if he did not understand.
"Yes, if the interventional surgery fails, we'll directly switch to a cesarean section and terminate the pregnancy," Lao He said. "The newborn will be directly sent to the operating room next door for thoracotomy treatment."
"How high is the success rate?"
"I don't think it will succeed," Lao He said very seriously.
He was talking to his own people, and he was wearing plain clothes. Lao He directly told the truth and did not hide anything.
Xie Ning nodded, indicating that he understood. These small thoughts could not be hidden from an old fox like him.
"The process of the surgery is …"
Just as he said this, Xie Ning looked at the time and said, "The live broadcast is about to start. Let's go next door to watch."
Lao He nodded and smiled, wiping his sweat in his heart.
This Uncle Ning looked gentle, but for some reason, he felt that he gave him a lot of pressure.
It seemed that Boss Zheng's life was not easy either. He had such a shrewd father-in-law.
Lao He thought to himself as he followed Xie Ning's assistant to the room next door.
Four large LED screens formed a huge screen on the wall. The assistant handed over a laser pointer.
"Do you want tea or drinks?" the assistant asked.
"Water is fine."
"Okay."
On the screen, the live broadcast room had not been opened yet, but countless bullet screen comments were already shuttling back and forth.
Xie Ning sat on the sofa and looked at the bullet screen. He smiled and said, "Teacher He, most of these bullet screen comments don't know how to perform this kind of surgery, right?"
"None of them know how to do it," Lao He said. "There are more than 200 surgeries in the world, and the failure rate is very high. It is said that it is 50%. And this data is still a certain amount of exaggeration. "
"Oh?"
"Doctors who have the intention to perform intrauterine interventional surgery must be strictly screened. Whether it is the physical condition of the pregnant woman or the condition of the fetus, they must meet the standards." Lao He was very clear about these things.
If they did not screen the patients for exploratory surgery and did it as soon as they caught one, that kind of doctor would have died long ago. Even in a foreign country, he was bankrupt because of the lawsuits.
"Even if there are layers of screening, the success rate of the surgery is less than 50%. The emergency department was called to rescue the stage. There was no condition assessment in advance. Moreover, as far as I know, the pregnant woman took a relatively long time to receive conservative treatment. If it was any other doctor, the success rate is estimated to be only 20-30%. "
"What about Zheng Ren?"
"Boss Zheng is definitely 100% confident."
When he said this, Lao He's face was brimming with a strange light of worship.
Xie Ning was slightly surprised. He knew that Zheng Ren's skill level was very high. However, it was a little unbelievable for his peers and anesthetist to give him such a high evaluation.
Was he really more powerful than he had imagined?
He pondered and looked at Lao He as if he wanted to see through him.
The image on the screen suddenly flashed, and the surgical image appeared on it.
The sterile sheet had already been laid out, and the ultrasound probe was about to locate it.
"For this surgery, Boss Zheng used ultrasound to locate the location of the fetal aortic valve and then used a balloon to open the stenosis," Lao He quickly introduced. "After the surgery, the fetus will grow for about four to six weeks. The position of the stenotic aortic valve will reach or be close to the level of a normal fetus.
"Now that the pregnant woman is 32 weeks pregnant, it is almost the last period of time. If the growth time is not enough, the effect of the surgery will be greatly reduced.
"Here, Boss Zheng is looking for the fetal heart." Lao He turned on the laser pointer, and the red dot swayed on the LED screen.
