It can only be said that Xie Wanying, as a student drawing mind maps of their two teachers, probably wanted to emulate their surgical planning approach when discussing, and was indulging in her imagination during the dical eting.
What should shock both of them is the man standing before them now. Zhang Huayao has been away from Guoxie for over a decade, and yet he could tell from a rough surgical sketch, unclear to any dical student, that it was they who were depicted?
Does this an that this man has a profound understanding of Guoxie?
Not only Tan Kelin and Tao Zhijie, but other contemplative doctors from Guoxie also sized up Zhang Huayao with questioning looks.
As if unaware of everyone’s reactions, Zhang Huayao flipped through Xie Wanying’s notebook and said to Tao Zhijie: "Dr. Tao, please discuss your surgical plan for the patient. You are the attending physician, have you thought of a preliminary surgical plan yet?"
This eting was called on short notice, and like the others, Tao Zhijie received notice of the eting after lunch. He had received the patient’s dical records in the morning, leaving him with very limited preparation ti. Nevertheless, as a deputy senior specialist in surgery, from hearing about a relatively confird diagnosis of a patient, industry experience allows one to deeply think and conceive the surgical proceedings for the patient. He had started thinking about it since last night.
So when Xie Wanying suggested performing a full laparoscopic surgery in front of the Beidu people, he did not oppose because he truly considered it.
"I plan to perform a full laparoscopic surgery on the patient. It causes less damage, and the patient’s chances of a successful surgery are higher," Tao Zhijie announced his intended plan.
Everyone knew which laparoscopic surgery he was talking about, as Teacher Lu’s condition could only point to that exceptionally challenging surgery which is difficult to perform laparoscopically.
"Are you sure, Dr. Tao?" asked Zhang Huayao.
"Yes."
"To my knowledge, no one has perford a full laparoscopic surgery of this kind. How do you plan to do it?" inquired Zhang Huayao. Don’t assu he is just a cardiothoracic surgeon; as a top boss in the industry, definitely well-inford about other surgical advancents considering his mother’s surgery is involved.
"Exactly, exactly, our hospital doctors have all said it’s impossible," Fang Xueqing imdiately supplented with the opinion of the doctors at Beidu Hospital, "I asked Dr. Wang from our surgical departnt later. He and his colleagues from the Hepatobiliary Surgery departnt explained the reasons to . Mainly, the scope of the surgical removal is too large, involving too many organs, making it difficult to operate. It’s easier for surgeons to operate with an open surgery. If it’s done laparoscopically, the duration is too prolonged. The patient might not endure it. And because the surgery is too extensive, the incidence of unplanned events is too high; if any ergency occurs, it must imdiately be converted to open surgery. The patient can’t withstand such upheaval."
The Hepatobiliary Surgery at Beidu First Hospital is equally outstanding, and their departnt’s opinion must be well-reasoned.
If a laparoscopic surgery can’t be done, can the patient make it through a traditional open surgery? Can the surgery still proceed?
The expressions on each doctor’s face turned grave.
Suddenly, the door of the eting room opened, and Director Tang walked in, taking a stance next to Tao Zhijie to express Hepatobiliary Surgery’s opinion: "After Dr. Tao received the dical records, we discussed his initial thoughts. We agree with his opinion, to attempt a full laparoscopic surgery, perform it gradually, and see the surgery to completion. The patient also hopes to have minimally invasive surgery."
Hearing these words from Hepatobiliary Surgery, a sharp look shot from the deep sockets of Zhang Huayao’s eyes as he stared intently at their faces.
Everyone could sense his dissatisfaction.
