Department Chief Kong's surgery was neither fast nor slow. His skill level was there, so he could not slow down even if he wanted to.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Department Chief Kong's skill level was very high. However, in Zheng Ren's eyes, the surgery could only be considered average.
This was a difference in magnitude. It was not something that years of surgical experience could make up for.
Even in terms of surgical experience, Zheng Ren had spent more time in the operating theater without rest or sleep than Department Chief Kong.
However, Zheng Ren just watched quietly. There was no problem with Department Chief Kong's surgery. That was enough. At this time, Zheng Ren would not jump out to show off his skill and suppress an old chief who loved him.
There were definitely people who could do this, but there were not many. This was a lack of intelligence, not a high level.
The six surgeries were all completed around one o 'clock in the afternoon.
Usually, Department Chief Kong rarely personally performed so many surgeries. Today was Zheng Ren's first day, so Department Chief Kong personally performed six surgeries in a row.
After all, he was already old and had not eaten lunch. After performing six surgeries in one go, the lead apron on his body became a little heavier.
"Boss Zheng, it's your turn," Department Chief Kong said with a smile after coming down.
"Yes." Zheng Ren nodded.
The next patient was sent up. Zheng Ren inserted the radiographic films into the radiographic film viewer in the operating theater and used a familiar posture to read the radiographic films with his cheek resting on his hand.
He had seen the patient early in the morning. He was a 76-year-old male patient with cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
The diameter of the malignant liver tumor was six centimeters, and multiple blood vessels were involved in the blood supply. Among them was the internal mammary artery that Department Chief Kong had mentioned.
The internal mammary artery was also known as the internal mammary artery.
Many years ago, it was an important blood vessel that the cardiac surgery department had to select for heart bypass surgery before the coronary intervention surgery.
Under special circumstances, the internal mammary artery branched out and became the internal thoracic artery. Its terminal branches, such as the superior epigastric artery and the myophrenic artery, supplied blood to the liver through branches.
This special situation included liver malignant tumors secreting a variety of influencing factors, promoting the spread of blood vessels in the body, abnormal proliferation, and blood supply to the tumor.
Embolization of the internal mammary artery was more troublesome because it was extremely tortuous and had branches that supplied blood to the pericardium, thymus, and other organs. Once the superselection was not in place, the embolic agent would run to other locations and cause ischemic necrosis of normal organs.
However, with the tortuous blood vessels, repeated superselection, it was inevitable that the guide wire would continuously touch the blood vessel wall, causing the thrombus and plaque attached to the blood vessel wall to fall off, and the situation that Department Chief Kong had mentioned would occur.
This was an extremely troublesome abnormal branch, and the surgery was quite difficult.
Zheng Ren read the scans carefully. A doctor sent the patient to the operating table to make preparations.
"Boss, can I join you?" Professor Rudolf Wagner's hands itched as he lowered his voice and asked.
Although there were no TIPS surgeries to perform, two liver cancer interventional embolization surgeries could be considered a consolation.
"Sure." Zheng Ren nodded.
The professor happily went to wash his hands and change his clothes. The doctor who was about to go on stage was a little puzzled and looked at Department Chief Kong outside.
Department Chief Kong waved his hand and called him out.
"Just take a good look," Department Chief Kong said.
"Director, who is that foreigner?" the young doctor asked.
"Professor Rudolf Wagner from Heidelberg University Medical Center in Germany," Chief Kong said. "He's here this time to work on the Nobel Prize project with Boss Zheng."
The young doctor clicked his tongue. Whether it was an internationally renowned professor or the legendary Nobel Prize, they were existences that were out of reach.
He looked enviously at Zheng Ren, who was reading the radiographic films, and sighed in his heart. When Boss Zheng came a few months ago, he was still a junior doctor. He did not expect that after a few months, he would become so powerful.
"Go and inform the others. Tell them that Boss Zheng is doing a teaching surgery. Those who want to watch can come and watch," Department Chief Kong said.
"Okay." The young doctor quickly went to inform them.
Clinical teaching surgeries were very rare. Usually, it was a large-scale academic conference or a training class established by a higher-level hospital, and a high-level doctor would give a demonstration.
For example, some more advanced academic conferences would invite internationally renowned experts, professors, and scholars to do demonstration surgeries and leave behind imaging materials for other doctors to learn from.
However, such opportunities were too rare. They could only encounter them once in a long time, so the doctors cherished them very much.
After the professor finished disinfecting, more than ten people squeezed into the operating room.
During the ward rounds, everyone had seen Zheng Ren. They all knew that he was the doctor who performed the prostate embolization a few months ago.
However, this time, this young doctor came here again as a candidate for the Nobel Prize. The change in role was so fast that it made people feel dazed.
"Department Chief Kong, is Boss Zheng going to superselect the internal mammary artery?" a professor asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I communicated with Boss Zheng when I went on stage. He agreed to do two demonstration surgeries," Department Chief Kong said.
The professor who asked this was surnamed Zhao. He was a professor under Department Chief Kong.
After hearing Department Chief Kong's words, Professor Zhao was a little unhappy. However, he only felt a little strange and did not say it out loud.
Young people were arrogant and despotic. That was because their personalities were not stable. Why was the old chief also messing around? Did he really think that this young man was a genius and could do any surgery?
A few days ago, Professor Zhao, who was leading the group, tried to embolize the internal mammary artery. In the end, after three hours of superselection, the surgery was finally completed.
However, after the surgery, the patient developed blurred vision and other neurological symptoms.
After leaving the stage, he was immediately sent to the neurology department for thrombolysis treatment. The patient had not fully recovered yet.
The difficulty of embolizing the internal mammary artery was extremely high. Professor Zhao had personally experienced it.
Department Chief Kong said that Boss Zheng wanted to do a demonstration surgery. Although he had already mentally prepared himself, when he saw the figures of Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf Wagner preparing to start the surgery, he still did not believe it.
According to Department Chief Kong, Boss Zheng could do a demonstration surgery. How big was the gap between his level and his?
Boss Zheng did have some skills. He could embolize the prostate capillaries and create a medical model for the surgeon to do a 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction before the surgery.
However, Professor Zhao still did not believe that the level of access was so much higher than his.
It was better to look at the surgery. Whether it was true or not, one surgery was enough to prove it.
Su Yun glanced at Professor Zhao from the side. Seeing that he did not speak, he felt a little regretful. Why were these people so cautious? They were bored, and no one jumped out to ask for a beating.
He looked at the screen and saw that Zheng Ren had already started the superselection. He shook his head slightly and sat on the sofa in the corner of the operating room.
"Su Yun, why aren't you watching the surgery?" Department Chief Kong sensed something strange. He turned around and saw Su Yun playing with his phone listlessly, so he asked.
"There's nothing to see. It's disgusting," Su Yun said.
"Hehe, how's your level?" Department Chief Kong asked jokingly.
"You were the one who gave me the qualification for interventional surgery. What do you think of my level?" Su Yun said.
"Come, Su Yun." Department Chief Kong waved.
Su Yun was helpless. He had always dissed other chief residents. Who else could say anything about it?
However, he still had to maintain respect for an old chief like Department Chief Kong.
"How long do you think Boss Zheng's surgery will take?" Department Chief Kong asked.
"25 minutes."
