Surgery Godfather Chapter 877 - 877 776 Go Buy Ten Pigs

Chapter 877: Chapter 776 Go Buy Ten Pigs Chapter 877: Chapter 776 Go Buy Ten Pigs Early in the morning, during the shift change.

Teng Xini, being a key case, attracted everyone’s attention, so the discussion lingered a little longer.

“With both the left ventricle and interventricular septum so hypertrophic, the surgery is quite difficult and tricky to perform.”

Song Zimo had already adapted to the spectrum of diseases at the Comprehensive Surgery Departnt and successfully transford from an orthopedic surgeon to a comprehensive surgeon.

As one of only two leaders of the dical teams in the Comprehensive Surgery Departnt, Xu Zhiliang wasn’t to be outdone and imdiately spoke up:

“The main issues are the severely limited visual field and space. Is it feasible to enter the left ventricle from the aorta and perform radiofrequency ablation and alcohol ablation?”

Song Zimo rejected the idea: “Definitely not. With such severity, neither radiofrequency ablation nor alcohol ablation can be thorough. Besides, these two thods lack precision. If overdone, they could easily cause conduction block, and in the end, we might have no choice but to install a permanent pacemaker.”

“Indeed, that’s troubleso!” Xu Zhiliang agreed.

These two generals of the Comprehensive Surgery Departnt, now in both surgery and theory, would be invincible in any other hospital.

With single-stage spinal deformity correction surgeries, they were already second to none in the industry. Intelligent and diligent, trained by a top system, and with ample case practice, they possessed all the conditions for becoming outstanding surgeons, hence their rapid growth.

“Existing surgical thods definitely can’t achieve complete resection. I’m planning to use a new technique for this surgery,” Yang Ping announced his opinion.

“New technique?”

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang looked over in surprise.

The professor had recently been obsessed with new things; it seed that he grew tired of all the conventional surgeries and could only find satisfaction by pioneering innovations to counteract occupational fatigue.

“This thod I have is entirely new, both in the approach and the instrunts used. I can’t explain in detail right now. Manager Huang from Ruixing is expected to deliver the tools in the next couple of days. Once we have the tools, I’ll fill everyone in. Song Zimo, contact the Nandu dical University Animal Departnt to purchase ten experintal pigs. I’ll speak with Dean Xia about allocating a room from the hospital’s spare building for us to use as a temporary laboratory for surgery. Once the instrunts arrive, we’ll test them on pigs, and if all goes well, we’ll move directly into clinical practice,” Yang Ping instructed everyone.

If new technologies were to follow the normal procedures, they would certainly take a long ti, which is an inefficient use of ti.

In the future, Yang Ping planned to trial all new procedures on pigs first, and if successful, move straight to clinical trials.

As for the new surgical thod, Yang Ping was confident, having conducted extensive testing in the system space. The animal trials were rely a formality to provide a basis for clinical trials.

“Okay, I’ll contact them imdiately. Last ti I heard Professor He ntion that they had just received a shipnt of experintal pigs from Baoding — a full range of high-quality breeds.”

“Don’t just get any experintal pigs. We require ten SPF pigs, and make sure when you select them, you use surface ultrasound to examine the heart. Try to find those whose heart size closely matches that of Teng Xini’s,” Yang Ping instructed Song Zimo.

“Dr. Song, let do it,” Li Guodong volunteered proactively.

Li Guodong was in charge of this case and wanted to be involved in the entire treatnt process. Tenaciously eager to learn, he hoped to continue his doctoral studies and remain at Sanbo Hospital’s Comprehensive Surgery Departnt.

As experintal subjects, pigs are very similar to humans in several aspects such as tissue and organ morphology, physiological regulatory chanisms, behavior patterns, and genetic controls.

Moreover, the size of a pig’s heart and the frequency of its heartbeats are very close to those of humans; thus, using pigs for experints has strong persuasive power, both in scientific research and clinical practice, and the reproducibility is fairly good.

“Dr. Liang, will there be any issue with anesthetizing the pigs?”

Yang Ping asked Liang Fatty, as he would be responsible for the anesthesia during the experints. Although the Comprehensive Surgery Departnt had introduced two anesthesiologists, Liang Fatty remained Yang Ping’s preferred anesthesiologist.

“I’ve anesthetized monkeys, rabbits, and mice before; pigs will definitely not be a problem,” Liang Fatty said with ease.

“I’ll talk to Dean Xia today to get the room sorted out. We’ll make do with it for this experint, but afterwards, we should renovate it into a proper laminar flow operating room to use as a surgical lab, and we need to soundproof it well. Otherwise, the noise from the pigs during experints could be disruptive.”

“Will we use it often in the future?” Xu Zhiliang asked.

“Of course, any new surgical technique or device will first be tried on pigs,” Yang Ping answered.

“Professor, should I go buy the pigs today?” Li Guodong felt it would be best to acquire them early to start the experints sooner.

Song Zimo gave Li Guodong the day off for this task: “Guodong, you don’t have surgery today. Your job for today is to get those ten pigs.”

“Once purchased, where will they be kept?” Li Guodong wondered.

Song Zimo was well-versed: “They only sell to the South Capital dical University System and deliver to your door. Go and make your selection, place the order, and arrange the delivery ti and location with them. They will deliver on ti. Do you know how to pick them out?”

“Get SPF experintal pigs. Should I take an ultrasound scanner to asure the hearts according to Teng Xini’s heart size?” It was Li Guodong’s first ti buying pigs.

Song Zimo instructed him: “They have a portable ultrasound machine there, just know how to use it, we don’t need to bring our own.”

Thus, the tasks were settled in the morning eting: Li Guodong would purchase ten experintal pigs, and as soon as the new instrunts arrived, they would imdiately comnce animal testing.
