Chapter 1139: Lobectomy [1139]
Early-stage lung cancer requires a CT scan, as it is difficult to detect with just a chest X-ray. Even so, if the cancer is found to have tastasized by the ti the patient seeks examination, it certainly suggests that the reviewing physician wasn’t ticulous enough.
In the clinic, many issues are related to negligence and carelessness.
Zhang Huayao was very angry because the issue concerned his own mother.
The cardiology departnt must be feeling utterly dejected.
“People from cardiopulmonary surgery are also affected. Doctor Zhang said that cardiopulmonary surgery is incessantly linked with his mother’s case, right? But the result—” He Xiangyu said.
Teacher Lu was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it was indeed the fault of the cardiopulmonary surgery departnt.
No wonder at the afternoon eting, Teacher Fu appeared particularly silent, and Senior Jin seed sowhat panicked. Teachers and seniors had anticipated such an outco. Hepatobiliary surgery was innocently implicated, and eventually, they had to perform the most significant surgery for the patient.
No matter how much the family complained, the doctors had to do what was necessary. The patient’s preoperative preparations and treatnt proceeded in an orderly manner. Having learned the lesson from four years ago, everyone is now exceptionally cautious. Preoperative cardiac issues are addressed first, ensuring the patient’s cardiac function is stable before safely proceeding with the surgery.
Several departnts throughout the hospital actively participated in Teacher Lu’s treatnt team. Auxiliary departnts like nutrition, laboratory, pathology, etc., were fully engaged.
After one week, all of the patient’s dical examination results ca out. The tumor was small, the patient was of advanced age, and after discussion, the doctors decided not to perform chemotherapy initially and went straight to surgery. The operation date was scheduled on the operating room’s calendar.
Lobectomy of the lung was first carried out. After the removal of the pulmonary tumor, depending on the patient’s recovery, the hepatobiliary surgery would be executed as soon as possible.
Teacher Lu was transferred to the cardiopulmonary surgery departnt. On the day of the surgery, everyone was busy with their work. Doctors in the hospital could stroll into the operating room to peek at the surgery, without having to wait outside. Those waiting outside the operating room door were rely the patient’s family mbers and a large group of people from Teacher Lu’s departnt, the School of Pharmacy.
Xie Wanying wanted to sneak a look at the surgery, but heard that people were being driven out of the operating room, even Senior Cao and Senior Brother Yu were sent away together. Even hospital leaders could not enter as they wished.
The surgical doctors had the utmost authority; they could dismiss whoever they wanted. The Chief Surgeon was Teacher Fu. Moreover, the prominent figure from cardiopulmonary surgery and Teacher Lu’s adopted son, Zhang Huayao, was watching the surgery intently from start to finish. Under such circumstances, those who were not involved, even if they were concerned, would not be allowed into the operating room.
All those outside of the operating room could only know that Teacher Lu’s unilateral pulmonary tumor was small, almost contiguous, and located near the edge of the lung, which greatly boosted the confidence of the cardiopulmonary surgery departnt. This surgery was relatively easier compared to hepatobiliary surgery, hence it was perford first to avoid the inability to conduct cardiopulmonary surgery after the major hepatobiliary operation.
Therefore, from the start of the case discussion, the doctors’ primary focus was on hepatobiliary surgery, knowing that it would be the major procedure.
The surgery, which began a little after seven in the morning, finished before ten o’clock. The intraoperative blood loss was under one hundred, minimal. The surgery went smoothly, and the patient did not need to go to the ICU after, but directly returned to the cardiopulmonary ward.
This good news seed to temporarily relieve everyone.
On the third postoperative day, in the afternoon, Tao Zhijie brought two young doctors, Xie Wanying and Song Xueling, to visit the patient on the eighth floor in the cardiopulmonary surgery departnt. They ca to learn about the patient’s latest recovery status, in preparation for the upcoming hepatobiliary surgery.
