It was time to withdraw the tube. This surgery … Mu Tao was at a loss.
Could Wu Haishi do it? No. Even when he was at his peak, he still could not do it.
In the Mayo Clinic, those big shots who did not even look him in the eye, could they do it?
They definitely could not do it. Their standards were higher than his, but they were definitely not as high as the surgeon in the operating theater.
Had the level of surgery already broken through the sky?
Mu Tao was very confused.
When he thought about how he used to define this surgeon as his lifelong enemy … Now, it seemed that he really did not deserve to be his enemy.
He was afraid that the surgeon did not even notice him.
Countless thoughts surged in his mind. Three seconds later, Mu Tao's mind went blank.
The surgeon did not withdraw the tube. Instead, he began the next superselection!
No!
Mu Tao shuddered. He only took a glance at the surgeon's surgery and knew the purpose.
An extremely small branch of the internal iliac artery. The surgeon wanted to superselect and embolize this blood vessel.
Was there bleeding here?
Mu Tao could not remember.
He did not continue to watch the surgeon's surgery. Instead, he began to review the previous image data on the machine.
After adjusting the image to the first frame of the contrast, Mu Tao frowned and looked for the small branch of the internal iliac artery that the surgeon was embolizing.
There it was! It was here!
On the screen, there was almost no leakage of contrast agent. However, when the image was enlarged, Mu Tao was sure that there was indeed a damage here and there was contrast agent.
It was just that the amount was very small, so small that he did not notice it.
He knew that if he were to perform the surgery, after a few large blood vessels were embolized, he would definitely have to do a reconstruction. After another angiogram, he found that this small blood vessel was bleeding and then embolized it.
This was the standard, textbook-like process.
However, the surgeon inside actually skipped many steps and found and embolized a particularly small blood vessel.
Could he not embolize it?
The answer was no.
After the other blood vessels were embolized, blood pressure would rise. Now, this small blood vessel did not seem to bleed much, but it would soon become the main bleeding artery.
This was really …
Mu Tao shook his head and looked at the surgery again.
There were two similar blood vessels. Just as Mu Tao was reviewing the angiogram image and analyzing it, the surgeon in the operating room had already completed the embolization.
The tube was withdrawn. Without a reconstruction, the surgery was over.
This surgery was really a little … unrestrained? Mu Tao thought of many words, but he didn't know how to describe it.
In the end, he could only describe his feelings as bold and unrestrained.
The airtight lead door opened and Zheng Ren shouted, "Next!"
"…"
This was an assembly line … and he was the only skilled worker on the assembly line.
Mu Tao stood up and prepared to temporarily act as the circulating nurse to help Zheng Ren with some post-surgery work.
"Hello, Chief Zheng." Mu Tao walked into the operating theater and greeted him with a smile.
Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment. He looked at Mu Tao, his eyes a little empty.
What kind of gaze was that? Mu Tao was also taken aback. Shouldn't he have responded with a warm greeting and reminisced about his research days in Imperial Capital to quickly close the distance?
Was he too tired?
"You are …" Zheng Ren was in an extreme state. Other than the surgery, he could not think of anything else.
Even the fact that his father-in-law looked like Xie Yiren flashed past his mind. Who was Mu Tao? Why should he think so much?
Zheng Ren asked very directly. Although it was a little impolite, he did not want to waste any time.
Although he had just discussed the person who was sitting and sleeping outside with Su Yun, Zheng Ren's current state was focused on the surgery. How could he remember such irrelevant details?
"Uh … I'm Mu Tao." Mu Tao was depressed. The other party really did not care about him.
"Ah, Teacher Mu from Shenzhen City. Hello, hello." Speaking of the name, Zheng Ren immediately remembered. He just could not match the name with the face.
"…" Mu Tao was dumbfounded.
"Teacher Mu, please help me put on an elastic tape. Just tear open the packaging. The pressure bandage will be done by someone outside," Zheng Ren said.
Mu Tao began to look for the position of the elastic tape. As he looked, he asked, "Chief Zheng, did you use force on your wrist and fingers during the superselection?"
"Yes, this patient's blood vessels are slightly deformed. The angle of the fork is too large. The wrist needs three movements and the coordination of the fingers to succeed in the superselection," Zheng Ren answered logically.
Three movements? Which three? Mu Tao's figure hesitated for a moment. His brain was like a CPU, running at high speed.
"Teacher Mu, let's do the surgery first. We'll go back and discuss it when we have time." Zheng Ren was very tired. His chest hurt so much that even breathing would hurt his heart.
However, Zheng Ren felt that this was also good. At least when it hurt, he did not seem to be so sleepy.
Well, it could be considered a benefit.
He listened to Mu Tao's question and looked at Mu Tao's expression. He knew what he was thinking.
If it was in the past, he would have taught a demonstration surgery. It was not a big deal.
However, there were still countless injured people waiting for surgery and rescue outside.
Now was not a good time.
Mu Tao also knew what Zheng Ren meant. He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Chief Zheng, I'll give you the next one?"
"Aren't you going to another operating room for surgery?" Zheng Ren asked.
Mu Tao was embarrassed. He heard a trace of precious technical experience from Zheng Ren's words. He was even sure that as long as he learned it, the gap between him and Zheng Ren would not be so big.
As for the surgery … If he could improve his level, he would be able to do it faster, Mu Tao comforted himself.
"I just woke up. I'll give you a stage to refresh your spirits," Mu Tao said with a smile.
"Sure." Zheng Ren did not care.
At this moment, Chief Jiang brought people in. He took the patient on the stage and sent the next patient up.
"Chief Jiang, how many more patients are there outside?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Twelve. After the surgery, the patients were all sent to Huaxi and Chengdu Provincial Hospital by ambulance," Chief Jiang answered very straightforwardly.
This was the information Zheng Ren needed. He nodded and finally saw a glimmer of hope.
"Chief Jiang, there are patients who need to be amputated. Please help me keep an eye out," Zheng Ren said.
"Uh …" Chief Jiang was stunned. Could this Doctor Zheng be …
"Doctor … Doctor Zheng, this isn't a hybrid operating room. It's a small place. We can't do hybrid surgery, "Chief Jiang said hesitantly.
"Oh, I'm not going to do hybrid surgery. I want to remove the embolus for the patients who need to be amputated, improve the microcirculation, and minimize the cross-section of the amputation so that the postoperative recovery will be simpler," Zheng Ren said.
Chief Jiang was not in the field of vascular surgery, so he did not know much about vascular interventional surgery.
He did not seem to understand what Zheng Ren was saying. However, no matter what he said, he would just do it. The people in front of him were all great surgeons. There was no reason for him to waste time.
