Chapter 397: Chapter 0373: Sweating While Watching Surgery

Song Yun from Xiehe Hospital, aside from Wen Rentao, doesn’t consider anyone else as a worthy opponent.

Even if competing against Wen Rentao, Song Yun is still very confident.

Some hospitals have specialties that exceed Xiehe, but in terms of overall capability, Xiehe is undoubtedly the leader. Its excellent tradition has kept generations of Xiehe people tirelessly striving for perfection.

Now, Song Yun’s opponent is Yang Ping, who never competed in previous events. For his first appearance, he used a Mount Everest-grade case. To be honest, this kind of case at Xiehe, even his director would not dare to take it.

Medicine is not a place for competition, not taking a case is not shameful, but being responsible for the patient.

The more skilled the doctor, the better aware they are of the boundaries of medicine.

But what makes Yang Ping so arrogant to take this kind of case and use it in competition?

Analyzing the surgical video from Sanbo Hospital, Song Yun had to admit that the single-line base surgery performed by the assistant was on par with him. The new method of multiple ligament reconstruction of the knee joint created by Yang Ping, the chief surgeon, was simply a work of genius, which at one point led people to mistakenly think it was from the New York Special Surgery Hospital in the United States.

If the inspection team didn’t reveal the truth, Song Yun would not believe it was originated by Yang Ping from Sanbo. The creation of this surgical method requires, aside from talent, a large number of cases, which Sanbo does not possess.

The mystery around Yang Ping puts tremendous pressure on Song Yun. Can he really complete this operation?

And if he can’t, why would he attempt it? A person who can create new surgical methods cannot be treated lightly.

As for the remarks going around online about him being crazy, arrogant, and forgetting himself.

How could it be possible? Song Yun totally doesn’t believe these comments. The qualities exhibited in the assistant’s surgery suggest that the chief surgeon is a calm and experienced person with excellent surgical skills.

What Song Yun doesn’t understand is how Yang Ping can take on such a high-difficulty surgery, which seems impossible.

Why?

Not only Song Yun is confused, but orthopedic doctors around the country, the judges, and several prominent spinal surgeons are also skeptical.

When the second season of competition began, Yang Ping was fully prepared, with the patient’s condition constantly changing. The sooner the experience from practice surgeries is applied, the better.

Yang Ping didn’t plan to wait for anyone, nor did he deliberately want to be the first to start. In any case, for the patient’s sake and for the surgery’s safety, he wants to start as soon as possible.

Before the operation, Yang Ping had another preoperative conversation with Lu Gang and his mother.

The risks of the operation are great. There are possibilities of death, paralysis, infection, etc. The doctors can only do their best to reduce the risks, but they can’t completely eliminate them.

“No matter how big the risk is, we have to take it. If he suffers a bit and faces some risks now, it’s okay. Once I’m old, who will take care of him? From elementary school to college, you don’t know how hard it has been. He has suffered, and so have I, having to push him to school in a wheelchair every day and pick him up. Even in college, we had to rent a house near his school for daily pick-up. Even meals at noon and evening were taken in our home after picking him up,” Lu Gang’s mother said as she wiped away her tears.

Lu Gang just stayed silent, even the most mundane task was difficult for him.

For instance, eating, a simple task for others, is an enormous challenge for him.

Without his mother, let alone studying in college, even survival would be a problem.

For over ten years, his mother has taken him to seek medical treatment everywhere, spending a lot of money on travel expenses alone. But no hospital was willing to perform surgery. Now Doctor Yang is willing to do so, they decided to take the risk.

Only when Yang Ping asked again: is there any other concern?

Lu Gang and his mother could not think of any other questions. Everything that needed to be explained had been explained several times, everything was clear. Lu Gang and his mother both signed solemnly.

Surgical informed consent, blood transfusion informed consent, anesthesia informed consent, power of attorney.

For such complicated high-risk surgery, unexpected issues might occur during the operation. Since the patient would be anesthetic and unable to make decisions, someone is needed to assume legal rights. Lu Gang used the power of attorney to delegate this authority to his mother.

The surgery is unpredictable. Yang Ping is confident of keeping the bleeding volume within 200 milliliters, but autologous and allogeneic blood transfusions have been prepared. The more thorough the preparations, the better, even if it is not needed.

Director Han and Professor Zhang were sitting nearby as Lu Gang was wheeled into the operating room on the trolley.

Zhang Lin and Little Five had practiced the transfer process many times, so they smoothly carried it out. Along with the standardized training students, they transferred Lu Gang onto the operating table.

Fatty began to intubate. Despite having practiced for a long time on Lu Gang’s model and on rabbits, he is still not completely confident.

Fatty slowly inserted the fiberscope. The view of the oral cavity, pharynx, and trachea gradually came into view, then he paused the view at the glottis.

He gently inserted the laryngoscope and positioned the tracheal tube. Fatty’s hand was very steady. As the tube passed the vocal cords, Fatty held onto the tube with one hand, while his other hand used a stethoscope to listen to the lungs, then he gestured OK.

It went smoothly, the intubation was successful, everyone applauded, the first hurdle was over.

Zhang Lin and Little Five placed various position cushions around Lu Gang’s body, arranging him in a strange position.

Yang Ping planned to first perform hip and knee joint relaxation and replacement, which would allow the area below the hip to move freely, helping with the positioning in the next step.

Completing bilateral hip and knee joint replacement in this curled position is a very difficult thing.
