"Su Yun, record this location," Zheng Ren said to Su Yun, who was standing behind him, as he pointed at a branch of the superior vesical artery.
Su Yun took a pen and paper and recorded the location Zheng Ren mentioned.
The words he recorded were not in Chinese or English, but some special symbols that only he could understand.
Although it was written in the simplest symbols, the A4 paper was still filled to the brim. It seemed like the next page was about to be moved to the next one.
There were already three similar pieces of paper written on them.
"How is it? Any progress? "Su Yun asked, noticing the slight change in Zheng Ren's expression. It seemed like he had made a breakthrough.
"We should be able to give it a try. If we have a finer micro-guide wire, the effect will be better. With the current conditions, we can follow what we discussed earlier and try to open up the fine branching arteries using the interventional guide wire from the neurosurgery department. "
The diameter of the micro-guide wire was the shortest in neurosurgery. The thinner it was, the more difficult it was to control.
Even so, it could not meet the needs of prostate interventional surgery.
However, under the current conditions, this was the only way.
After a short exchange, the two of them got busy again.
Zheng Ren was still reconstructing, telling Su Yun to record a certain location from time to time. The anatomical location was scattered and there was no pattern at all.
Su Yun stood behind Zheng Ren very seriously. For ten hours, he did not move at all. Su Yun was the perfect assistant at that moment.
At 4: 12 am, after constructing the capillary network of the last branch, Zheng Ren let out a long sigh, a smile on his face that he had not seen in a long time.
"Done?"
"Almost. Next, it's time to test our skills." Zheng Ren pointed at the screen and said, "The six branching arteries will evolve into a capillary network that supplies blood to the prostate."
"Are you confident?" Su Yun did not think Zheng Ren could do it. The current level of technology was difficult to achieve superselection and embolization of the thin capillary network.
"Not at all," Zheng Ren said honestly.
Completing the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction was only the first step. It was like a military map during war, to let him know what to do next.
As for the rest … Zheng Ren calculated the surgical training time and experience points he had in stock.
Splurge? It seemed like it was time to splurge.
There seemed to be a Gold Treasure Chest as well. Would I be lucky? As soon as the thought surfaced, it was tossed to the back of his mind.
Don't even think about trying your luck.
A few hours ago, after constructing the capillary network of branching arteries, Zheng Ren had come up with a preliminary surgical plan.
Because the blood vessels were too thin, they had to perform the same operation as Lin Jiaojiao had done to open up the ophthalmic artery. They had to use a micro-guide wire to forcibly pass through the blood vessels that were thinner than the guide wire, but they couldn't exceed the compliance of the blood vessels and cause secondary bleeding.
This kind of unconventional operation was rarely done. Even if they did, most of them would end in failure. If Zheng Ren had not succeeded once when he opened up Lin Jiaojiao's ophthalmic artery, Su Yun and Department Chief Kong would have scoffed at this surgical plan.
However, even if there were successful precedents, the two of them were not optimistic about this surgical plan.
Such a surgery was very difficult, but after some discussion, the weakness of the domestic micro-guide wire turned into an advantage at a specific time.
The domestic micro-guide wire was harder, and the difficulty of operating it was a level higher than the imported guide wire.
A slightly harder guide wire was a drawback during ordinary surgeries. However, in front of Zheng Ren's' opening technique ', the drawback became an advantage. As long as they were careful, the probability of success in theory would greatly increase.
Therefore, Department Chief Kong went to inform Feng Xuhui to use their guide wire.
If he told Feng Xuhui about this kind of thing, he might not even be able to keep the fruits of his victory.
Department Chief Kong was also thoughtful. Seeing that Feng Xuhui had been following Zheng Ren around for the past few days, he did him a solid favor and asked Feng Xuhui to inform the higher-ups of Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery to tell him.
Zheng Ren did not know about these things, nor did he want to know.
All his attention was immersed in the idea of the surgery, unable to extricate himself.
If the surgery was not done well, it would be useless no matter how much else he did. Zheng Ren understood this logic.
"Take a break," Zheng Ren whispered as he woke up Department Chief Kong, who had already fallen asleep in the chair.
"Go back to the interventional department. I'll sleep for a while. If you still have the energy, take a look at the surgery performed by Professor Rudolf Wagner from Heidelberg University. See if there's anything worth learning from, "Department Chief Kong said.
Zheng Ren nodded.
For a body that was less than thirty years old, staying up late was nothing. Especially for clinicians and chief residents of the emergency department, staying up late was a necessary skill. As the old chief physicians grew older, their skill tree of staying up late continued to wither.
This was the inevitable trend of human physiology.
They walked out of the CT room. This time, Feng Xuhui did not wait outside the door. He had probably gone to the airport to pick up his big boss.
When they arrived at the surgical demonstration classroom, Department Chief Kong turned on the video. He was already extremely sleepy, so he yawned and went to his office to take a nap.
There was no telling what would happen today, so it was better to rest for a while.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun watched the recording of Professor Rudolf Wagner's surgery together.
It was the same feeling the other professors had when they watched the recording last night. The skillful technique and handy micro-guide wire and micro-catheter combined to construct a perfect surgery.
Su Yun sighed in his heart, feeling slightly helpless.
He was already familiar with interventional surgery, and in his opinion, Professor Rudolf Wagner's skills were slightly better than Zheng Ren's. Coupled with the handy micro-guide wire and micro-catheter, it could be said that the current Zheng Ren could not surpass this surgery.
It was actually not difficult to surpass.
Zheng Ren was not even thirty years old. At most, in five years … No, perhaps three years, Zheng Ren's skills would definitely surpass Professor Rudolf Wagner.
However, saying this now would mean that the scientific research had failed.
Success or failure, Su Yun did not care about the consequences. However, the competitive flame in his heart was still burning. If he did not overcome the mountain that was Professor Rudolf Wagner, his heart would not be at ease.
The surgery was completed smoothly. Excluding the preoperative and postoperative procedures, Professor Rudolf Wagner completed the entire prostate embolization process in a little more than an hour.
It was almost perfect.
"Boss, what do you think?" Su Yun saw that Zheng Ren was engrossed in watching the video recording, so he returned to his previous sarcastic way of speaking and asked with a hint of ridicule.
"The surgery was done very crudely," Zheng Ren said.
"…" Su Yun did not expect such an answer from Zheng Ren. For a moment, he was stunned and looked at Zheng Ren as if he was looking at a monster.
Did this guy know what he was doing?
