"Okay." Lin Ge was already busy contacting various matters.
Zheng Ren laid out the sheets himself. Su Yun, Chief Li, and Professor Yang from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery went to scrub in.
"Boss Zheng, I've contacted the hospital. With the help of the traffic police, there should be no traffic jams," Lin Ge said in a hurry.
Professor Zhang sighed in his heart. This time, the 912 had really gone all out.
Department Director Li from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery changed his clothes and stood on the operating table in a daze.
Boss Zheng did not hesitate to stand in the position of the surgeon. He did not even show any courtesy.
He was brimming with confidence. Under the shadowless lamp, his body was suffused with an unwavering aura. In fact, Chief Li could already faintly feel that Boss Zheng was exuding a sense of victory.
As far as Chief Li knew, Boss Zheng had never performed a liver transplant before.
Previously, when Boss Zheng was in Sea City, a small fourth-tier city, if he could ask a professor to do a liver transplant, the director's ancestral grave would be emitting smoke.
What was it that gave him such confidence? Chief Physician Li was a little puzzled.
If it was someone else, Director Li would have already flipped out. Wasn't this nonsense? However, if it was Boss Zheng, he would not dare to comment too much.
The surgical resection of liver cancer after interventional embolization showed Boss Zheng's outstanding interdisciplinary surgical skills. Recently, Chief Li had been thinking about asking his doctors to learn interventional surgery for liver cancer from Boss Zheng.
The most important thing was to have the surgery project in his hands.
At this time, Boss Zheng was going to be the chief surgeon for the liver transplant. Could it be that he could do it too? Director Li pondered.
"Let me have a look at the magnetic anastomosis ring," Zheng Ren said.
Xie Yiren passed the magnetic ring to him.
"Boss, this is a little inappropriate." Su Yun was standing on Zheng Ren's left instead of the usual second assistant position.
"Yes, I really didn't consider it before," Zheng Ren said.
"Boss Zheng, how many liver transplants have you performed using the magnetic levitation technique?" Chief Li asked in surprise when he saw the magnetic ring for vascular anastomosis.
This was a new technique. Director Li had seen the use of vascular anastomosis magnetic ring to shorten the anhepatic period during the exchange in the hospital in Chang 'an.
It was just that the magnetic ring for vascular anastomosis had not been invented for a long time and had not been popularized in the clinic. The technique itself could more or less be improved.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been updated to the fourth generation within a few years.
"I've seen others do it," Zheng Ren answered honestly.
"Tsk." Su Yun was very disdainful. He thought that the boss had copied the skill that he knew after seeing it once.
Director Li wanted to persuade him, but the arrow was already nocked on the bowstring and had to be fired. Anything he said would be too late.
How could seeing and doing it be the same?!
Boss Zheng … Thinking about it, Director Li shook his head slightly.
Su Yun saw Chief Physician Li's actions and ignored him. Instead, he looked for the lower one-third of the patient's sternum on the sterile surgical drapes.
"Yiren, give me a dressing," Su Yun said.
"Huh?" Director Li was stunned.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun did not explain. Su Yun took the dressing and stuck it on the patient's lower sternum.
This was a mark. Su Yun prepared everything and turned around. "Chief Lin."
"Doctor Su, what's wrong?" Lin Ge was so busy that he felt like his head was on fire. Even though he was busy, he still took care of the entire audience and did not miss Su Yun's conversation with him.
"Keep an eye on that side. Tell me the location of the ambulance in three minutes."
"Okay." Chief Lin was a little troubled. There were too many things he had to contact. It was a little difficult to report his itinerary every three minutes.
"Let Lin Yuan come," Zheng Ren said. "Share your location and report at any time."
"Okay." Lin Yuan had no objections to this kind of errands and quickly agreed.
After contacting the first-aid staff, adding WeChat and sharing their location, Lin Yuan began to report his itinerary intermittently.
Lin Ge was a little confused. Didn't they say that they would let the team of experts perform the surgery? However, the patient's condition was not optimistic, so he could not think too much about it.
Perhaps they would do it first and then go on stage after the team of experts arrived.
He hoped that everything would go smoothly. Lin Ge could not do anything at this time. He could only do his job well. As for whether the surgery was done by Chief Zheng or someone else, Lin Ge could not care less.
After arranging everything, Zheng Ren began to open the skin. There was no need to do this too quickly. So what if he cut off the liver? In the end, he still had to wait for the fresh liver.
The surgery was done step by step. It was not fast. After opening the abdominal cavity, Zheng Ren began to dissociate the various blood vessels and ligaments. As long as the first-aid ambulance arrived, he would be able to make his move.
With the assistance of the traffic police, the first-aid ambulance was unimpeded and arrived at the Imperial Capital Hospital at the fastest speed possible.
Usually, if one wanted to drive so smoothly on the road in the Imperial Capital, it would only be possible for one or two days a year — the first and second day of the New Year.
At the same time, Zheng Ren finished the preparations for the transplant. It took him less than 20 minutes.
Chief Li looked at Boss Zheng's technique and felt a little emotional. If he did not know Boss Zheng's background, he would have thought that he had studied at the King's Hospital for many years and had performed countless liver transplants.
"Chief Zheng, the first-aid ambulance has arrived downstairs," Lin Yuan reported.
Zheng Ren covered the incision with warm saline gauze. He did not do anything and just silently looked at the values on the monitor and ventilator.
"I think there's still three minutes," Lin Yuan said as he put away his phone.
Zheng Ren nodded but still did not move.
He finally moved. This time, in Chief Li's opinion, was a little late. Although the previous preparations were very thorough, the removal of the liver in three minutes was mainly to deal with the blood vessels. It was too hasty.
It seemed that Boss Zheng was still very conservative. Chief Li was a little gratified.
After the liver arrived, this side was not finished. Letting the donor liver wait for a few minutes was the most conservative and stable method.
Chief Li, who had performed hundreds of liver transplants, knew the key to this very well.
However, the speed of Boss Zheng's surgery exceeded Chief Li's expectations. After only ten seconds, he did not think about those messy things anymore.
Boss Zheng's hand speed was too fast. It was not enough for him to go all out as an assistant. He did not have time to think about anything else.
"The donor liver is here!" Lin Yuan said loudly.
The British expert hurried in with the liver that was preserved in the life support system.
Zheng Ren reached out and patted the hemostatic forceps in his palm.
Chief Li looked at the life support instrument and his eyes turned red.
This was an article published in Nature magazine in April 2018. It mentioned a method called 'life support system' to preserve the liver with body temperature. It helped to improve the effect of the transplant and increase the number of available donor livers, thereby reducing the mortality rate of those waiting for liver transplantation.
David Nasrallah, a scientist at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and his colleagues conducted the first randomized trial on 220 liver transplant patients. They compared the traditional cryopreservation method and the normothermic mechanical perfusion method. This method was effective.
