Chapter 841: [841] Close the chamber, please Chapter 841: [841] Close the chamber, please The surgery had begun.
Dai Ronghong walked out, waiting outside with the family mbers. Mainly because she was also scared, scared of a bad outco from the surgery.
Before the surgery, the doctor had a conversation with the family. Tao Zhijie made it very clear to the family that whether the surgery could be perford would depend on the findings from the surgical exploration. Very few pancreatic cancer patients eventually get to have surgery, especially those as young as her who are prone to tastasis, even if the tumor is not large.
dical judgnt based on experience and science is quite reliable.
After the laparoscope was inserted, it wasn’t long before obvious signs of peritoneal tastasis were found. On the peritoneum behind the patient’s pancreas, white nodules marked the spread of cancer cells.
In such cases, it’s a hundred percent cancer.
A layer of gravity coated the brows and eyes of the doctors at the operating table.
Song Xueling, as the chief surgeon, was personally operating the laparoscope to perform the exploratory surgery. Xie Wanying stood opposite him, the first assistant for today’s operation, holding separation clamps and other instrunts, ready to step forward and assist at any mont.
They needed to perform a complete and thorough examination to arrive at the most accurate judgnt.
Standing behind the two of them was He Jiuliang, temporarily taking over the supervisory duties from Tao Zhijie. Observing the surgical scene on the monitor, he said to the two newcors, “If the search looks thorough, close the cavity.”
This sentence from the senior, like a downpour falling from the sky, would probably have made the patient or the patient’s family burst into tears if they were awake and present.
To close the cavity ant that the surgery could no longer be perford.
Everyone knew that tumor surgery was the first choice for life-saving and life-extending asures. For cancers that could not be operated on, the patient’s life expectancy was definitely not long.
The judgnt made by He Jiuliang carried weight in this operation. Xie Wanying and Song Xueling, though new to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Departnt, had been working with Tao Zhijie’s team and the seniors for so ti and had a general understanding of the seniors’ technical skill levels. Pancreatic surgeries within the team were basically led by Doctor He, so Doctor He had a say in pancreatic surgeries.
To give up? The laparoscope inside the patient’s abdominal cavity did not stop its search for cancer cells.
Newcors fresh to the clinical scene are all full of passion, deeming themselves invincible, especially when the newcors of the day are both talented young scholars, possessing their own pride. He Jiuliang, chafing his lips, earnestly tried to comfort the two newcors, “If it has tastasized, there’s no use operating. It won’t just fail to extend the patient’s lifespan, it might further spread the cancer cells. Just prepare the chemotherapy plan honestly. Teacher Tao must have discussed it with you.”
“We had a eting with Senior Tao. But the exploratory results now are within Doctor Song’s expectations, and there might be a chance for surgery,” said Xie Wanying, assisting in place of the chief surgeon, because she knew that Doctor Song was busy calculating and deducing in his mind and didn’t have the ti to consider others’ words. It wasn’t that they weren’t listening to advice, but they wanted to form their own judgnts before considering others’ opinions.
“Did Teacher Tao say her condition could allow for the surgery?” He Jiuliang doubted they had misunderstood Tao Zhijie’s intention; with such clear peritoneal tastasis, the surgery couldn’t be perford no matter how small the tumor was. Unless there was a doctor who could manage to completely excise the tastatic peritoneum, such an operation would be too difficult.
“Yes. Doctor Song has drawn up relevant surgical plans, and he believes it’s worth a try. Of course, next we need to check the cancer cell spread in the blood vessels,” Xie Wanying said.
Blood vessel tastasis is even more lethal.
“Let tell you first,” He Jiuliang shared with the newcors based on his experience, “with this condition, even if you excise it, the margins you keep are very likely to continue to be positive. Don’t believe ? Wait and see when you do the pathology. The tendency for pancreatic tastasis will exceed all of your imaginations.”
