Surgery Godfather Chapter 1000 - 1000 835

Chapter 1000: Chapter 835 Chapter 1000: Chapter 835 Was she intimidated back then? No. Clutching a kitchen knife in her hand, her husband holding a spatula, they stood back to back, facing the aggressive encirclent of their peers without flinching. Not afraid at all, they faced each adversary head-on, not stopping until they secured their ground.

It was just a kitchen knife and a spatula that established the couple’s standing in the world, and from then on, everything went smoothly, with no more disputes.

Even later, despite the bumps and bruises of life, they managed to live relatively well.

Now, lying on the operating table, not knowing if there was a tomorrow, Nie Shun’e suddenly didn’t know how to feel as the past played out in her mind like a movie, scene by scene, bringing tears to the corners of her eyes.

Who doesn’t have regrets in life? After so many years of struggle, it’s a pity her child is still in middle school. If only she could see her graduate, get a job, or even start a family; she would have no regrets then. Even if the child were already in university, she would be much more at peace. But now, still in middle school—thinking too much is useless. Don’t flinch.

The nurse began connecting the leads for the electrocardiogram monitoring, the cold sensation of the alcohol wipes ca in waves, and the rustling sound of the dical records being flipped through was in the air—

“Nie Shun’e, female, 41 years old—” the anesthesiologist and the nurse began the pre-surgery check once again.

Gradually, the noise in the operating room increased. Liang Fatty started injecting Nie Shun’e with a sedative through her vein, and she slowly began to lose consciousness. An icy laryngoscope pried open her mouth, and the endotracheal tube was slid in, passing through the throat into the trachea.

The LCD screen in the operating room could display the patient’s imaging data at any ti, but Yang Ping still preferred to view traditional films on the viewer, making one final review of the films before the surgery.

Had it been earlier, he would have definitely simulated the surgery in the system operating room, but now he wouldn’t, and didn’t need to do that.

Now, a single simulated surgery would consu sixty percent of the system points, a kind of suicidal depletion. Hence, he couldn’t afford such expenditure.

Besides, Yang Ping shouldn’t rely on the system in the long term. The system is just a tool. It’s using the tool to improve oneself that matters, and he tried to minimize cramming at the last minute unless absolutely necessary.

Director Fang arrived early with his senior fellow, along with several doctors, all of them rushing into the operating room. After brief introductions and greetings, everyone got into their respective roles.

Doctors are simple creatures in the operating room, where communication is very straightforward, with surgery as the main focus. After shaking hands with Yang Ping, Director Shi also walked over to the viewer to begin reviewing the films.

Everyone stood with their arms crossed in front of their chests, grouped together watching the films. Director Shi said, “Eight organs, it’s going to be a long surgery, probably lasting twenty to thirty hours. Your team seems a little thin. Do you need a hand?”

Director Shi was also a rather pure academic, without many complications, and he offered to help voluntarily.

“No trouble, we have enough hands.”

Yang Ping was just as straightforward.

“Should we start with the liver or the pancreas?”

Director Shi inquired.

“You see, the tumor tissue is continuous and isn’t easily distinguishable within the abdominal cavity, which can lead to contamination. So I’m planning not to cut it out but instead remove all of these tumor tissues along with the eight organs at once, ensuring the integrity of the tumor and reducing contamination,” Yang Ping explained while standing in front of the viewer.

Having all eight organs removed at once, Director Shi was so thunderstruck that he felt dizzy. Were young people really this audacious?

In theory, there are two thods for ex-vivo resection. The first one is the step-by-step thod, which involves two or more organs, removing and attaching each organ one by one. Once an organ is removed, there’s a ti limit before it undergoes necrosis. Even with protective solutions, the shorter the organ is ex-vivo, the better, so the step-by-step thod is assured to accommodate this.

The other thod is to remove the tumor and the two organs altogether in one go. This thod undoubtedly increases the ti the organs are ex-vivo, enhancing the surgical risk; hence, it’s only theoretical and not applicable in reality.

However, the second thod isn’t completely without rit, as it has a significant advantage—that is, it doesn’t divide the tumor, allowing for the removal of the tumor en bloc. This can reduce the risk of disseminating tumor cells and preserve certain connections between the organs.

Since the patient had already arrived, everyone was eager to see how the young doctor would perform the surgery. In fact, this was Director Shi’s first ti seeing Yang Ping in person, as he’d only heard of him before.

The anesthesia administered by Liang Fatty was ready, and Fatty was currently getting along famously with the Flight Attendant, in high spirits which evidently hastened the anesthetization process. Song Zimo and the rest began to position the patient.

Once the positioning was set, everyone began to scrub in.

Doctors from the General Surgery Departnt, upon hearing of the tumor ex-vivo resection, all wanted to learn and thus ca uninvited. The operating room was bustling with onlookers who maintained a conscious distance from the operating table and the instrunt table to avoid contamination.

Many young doctors from various departnts had already started to pull strings behind the scenes, so approaching Song Zimo, others Xu Zhiliang, and so Zhang Lin alias Little Five, hoping to be transferred to the Surgical Research Institute for a few years. They realized the significant impact working at the Institute could have on their careers, acknowledging that ad hoc visits for learning would be non-systematic and limited to observation without hands-on opportunities.

The hospital managent also noticed this trend. With plans already in mind, Dean Xia decided to organize a comprehensive test for all doctors interested in joining the Institute. The test results would determine the ranking, and recruitnt would be based on these rankings, with each departnt initially allocated just one spot. This was Dean Xia’s training program.

He planned to develop a group of top-notch backbone doctors within a few years. Essentially, this group would be the prospective Departnt Directors of the future. Thus, everyone was fervently preparing for the test, hoping to secure a position in the Institute of General Surgery—even many young Departnt Directors were actively preparing, while the older ones were reluctant to join the scramble with the younger crowd, feeling a bit inappropriate.

Disinfection and draping were carried out in the usual procedure.

Gathering around the operating table didn’t afford much of a view, so people crowded around the screens, as watching the synchronized video of the operative field was much better than directly observing the operating table.

Director Shi, being a top figure, and Director Fang, another bigwig of Sanbo Hospital, were at the center around which a tiered fan-shaped arrangent unfolded. At the forefront was an LCD screen, with those standing in the back rows bringing out footstools to stand on, providing a much broader view.

Yang Ping, too, had scrubbed in and was up on stage, with the final pre-operation verification complete before making the incision.

The patient was placed in a supine position, with an incision from the upper right towards the midline, slightly to the left, in the shape of an ‘S.’ This kind of incision is not found in textbooks, nor is there any precedent to refer to. It is entirely up to the chief surgeon to design it based on the specifics of the surgery.

The design of the surgical incision must et two basic conditions: exposure and safety. In other words, it should allow the exposure of the surgical targets while ensuring safety.

This ‘S’-shaped incision would ensure good exposure of the eight organs for removal and facilitate autotransplantation when putting them back.

Director Shi stood up and left the area in front of the screen to get a closer look at the operation at the operating table’s side. He wanted to see up close how Yang Ping handled the surgery, which involved ex-vivo resection of eight organs—a surgery far from ordinary.

As for the vacated space, no one dared to squeeze forward, since Director Shi could return at any mont.
