Chapter 644: 【644】Surgical difficulties Chapter 644: 【644】Surgical difficulties The pen for signing the consent form was handed to Aunt Li. Aunt Li, trembling all over, said, “Do I really need to sign this now? Can’t we wait for my son or my husband to co back and sign? I’m illiterate, I can’t understand a single word on this.”
“It’s okay, everything written here is what the doctors have already told you,” Wu Lixuan interjected, addressing Aunt Li, “If you don’t trust them, why did you ask to bring you here for treatnt? Would your daughter-in-law be fine right now without them?”
Concise and to the point, she wasted no words. All the doctors listening nearby thought the girl had a real way with words.
“Don’t you want the doctors to save your daughter-in-law and your grandchildren? If you don’t sign, you’ll go back and they’ll all be gone. Besides, I even put money forth for your family.”
So things are better said by soone other than the doctors. As soon as Wu Lixuan finished speaking, Aunt Li’s hands stopped shaking and she imdiately signed her na on the surgical consent form.
“Your friend is quite interesting,” Li Qi’an said to Xie Wanying.
Xie Wanying nodded her head, acknowledging that her childhood friend had many years of work experience more than her and, unlike her restricted social circle within the hospital, she had much more experience in society. Just like her mother praised, Wu Lixuan handled things very steadily, inspiring one hundred percent confidence.
The patient had completed all the pre-operative checks and was quickly taken to the operating room.
The anesthesiologist provided the anesthesia.
Several doctors gathered in the operating room to discuss the situation.
For the patient’s condition, should they perform laparoscopic or open surgery? If it weren’t for the patient being pregnant, they certainly could perform the laparoscopy based on her condition. Pregnancy is not an absolute contraindication for laparoscopic surgery. It just requires strict control over various surgical indicators. Before Xie Wanying ca to General Surgery Departnt Two, there was talk of a successful case involving a pregnant patient. Thus, the team was considering laparoscopic surgery for this patient.
“If we go with laparoscopy, the incisions would be smaller, and the patient would recover faster. The case from half a year ago, the patient recovered very quickly. Also, it avoids the risk of exposing the uterus to infection,” Sun Yubo recalled the previous case while continuing to scan the potential surgical team mbers currently available.
With Tan Kelin present, Teacher Tan would certainly be the Chief Surgeon. Was he, Sun Yubo, going to be the First Assistant? With no calls made to summon people back, Teacher Shixu and senior Liu Chengran were not present. As for the Mirror Assistant, it seed that Student Xiao Xie would have to step in. Li Qi’an would be on standby in the operating room to run errands.
After Sun Yubo had ntally prepared for this arrangent, a wave of nervousness suddenly hit him. The First Assistant in that case half a year ago was senior Liu Chengran. Sun Yubo had never served as a First Assistant, let alone for such a special case.
The role of the First Assistant in a laparoscopic surgery for a pregnant patient might be crucial because one must constantly be aware of changes in the two small lives within. The CO2 pneumoperitoneum used in laparoscopy affects the fetus to so extent, so it’s necessary to maintain pressure at a lower level. The purpose of pneumoperitoneum is to increase the working space for the surgery, and now with reduced pressure, the working space is reduced, which increases the difficulty of the surgery and the risk of touching other organs. The First Assistant needs to vigilantly help the Chief Surgeon keep other organs out of the way. As the surgery on a pregnant patient needs to be done more quickly, it becos evident how critical the role of the First Assistant in this operation is.
Sweat involuntarily beaded on Sun Yubo’s forehead.
Catching that tense expression on Sun Yubo’s head, the cool gaze in Tan Kelin’s eyes didn’t waver, suggesting he had anticipated this. Therefore, he had his plan in mind already and gave his instructions, “I will act as the First Assistant, and Doctor Sun will be the Mirror Assistant.”
