Chapter 2251: 2174 Same condition, different treatment

2174 Same condition, different treatment

"The situation when Sister Lin went blind is somewhat similar to the patient you know this time." Su Yun fell into thought.

"The situation is similar, but if surgery is performed, the process is exactly the opposite." Zheng Renye was pondering the surgery.

Mu Tao's curiosity was about to explode; a blind patient was nothing, and hearing this, Zheng Lao Ban had also operated on other blind patients.

Is it a problem with the retinal artery?

As a medical doctor, Mu Tao specialized in organ interventional surgery, but he also had some knowledge of other fields.

According to logical deduction, if it could be treated with interventional surgery, it should be a blood vessel problem.

Thinking further, Mu Tao didn't know what condition Lin JiaoJiao had, but regarding the little girl named Xu Suya in front of him, he had some speculation.

"Zheng Lao Ban, after the dye was injected into the sclera, did some large-molecule particles seep into the retinal capillary network?"

"Mm." Zheng Ren nodded, "The dye's molecules are generally large, while the diameter of the retinal capillary network is too small; red blood cells can pass through, but white blood cells need to deform to get through."

"I estimate that the dye particles blocked some small capillaries, causing insufficient retinal blood supply, leading to visual impairment." Su Yun guessed.

"Mm, that's basically the meaning." Zheng Ren nodded.

"What do you want to do?" Su Yun asked.

"Sister Lin used hyaluronic acid, which can be aspirated to pull out its large molecules. But the dye's molecules are a bit larger than hyaluronic acid's and are viscous, so aspiration is unlikely. Try to insert the tube and then flush with saline."

"But I don't recommend doing that; a sudden pressure increase would further affect vision." Zheng Ren had undergone surgery in the system operating room, knew the numbers, and spoke with confidence.

This surgery can succeed; the issue is to what extent the patient's vision can recover post-operation.

Zheng Ren did not recommend surgical treatment; conservative treatment seemed effective as well, except the patient would need several weeks to regain sight.

Similar case reports are rare, after all, few people undergo this surgery. Worldwide, fewer than 100 people have had ocular plastic surgery.

One case report described a patient who went blind for three weeks after ocular plastic surgery, then gradually recovered. Zheng Ren had figured out the reasoning, calculating a high probability of Xu Suya's recovery.

Su Yun didn't need to say more; Zheng Ren raised his head, and he understood the whole story.

He gave a wry smile, turned and left, to inform Xu Suya of her condition.

"Zheng Lao Ban, can the surgery really be done?" Mu Tao still couldn't quite believe it.

"Mm, it can be done." Zheng Ren said, "but it's not necessary."

Mu Tao genuinely wanted to see Zheng Lao Ban perform surgery, but since everyone said it so definitively, he couldn't keep begging for surgery.

Regarding the patient's future vision recovery, we can't joke about it.

"That girl made it look pretty good, but if she can't see, what do we do about lifelong disability?" Lao He shook his head.

"Who knows? I heard Su Yun say he used to cosplay Freddy from A Nightmare on Elm Street." Zheng Ren gave a wry smile.

Just thinking about Yun Ge'er, who is extremely handsome, turning into a ghost that appears in dreams, Lao He found it quite interesting.

The three chatted, and after more than ten minutes, Su Yun returned with a terrible complexion.

He was somewhat exasperated, his black hair at the forehead flying up angrily, as if expressing his displeasure.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Ren asked strangely.

Su Yun didn't speak, but gave a fierce look at Mu Tao… and also Lao He.

After a few seconds of silence, Su Yun said: "It's all rotten in the stomach; nobody say anything."

Uh… Mu Tao and Lao He were stunned for a moment, but since they knew Su Yun well, they weren't angry and both nodded.

Su Yun then explained the background of Xu Suya's situation.

Because the live-streaming website's anniversary celebration is in three days, if Xu Suya cannot attend, all previous changes would come to nothing.

Having suffered great harm yet not obtaining what she wanted, Xu Suya could not accept this at all. Su Yun gave her a glimmer of hope, and Xu Suya, like a gambler who has staked everything, clung to the last sliver of chance, refusing to give up no matter what.

After explaining everything, Su Yun said: "She insists on receiving surgical treatment."

""

Zheng Ren sighed and silently looked at the ground.

Why bother again?

However, for Xu Suya, streaming is a job.

To survive,

To support the family,

To live better,

Not killing or setting fires, not committing robbery or murder, no one can deny a girl's effort.

"Did you tell her about the side effects?" Zheng Ren asked, "If it goes smoothly, she can vaguely see things in 1-2 days, which would affect the anniversary but not too much. If not, she could suffer permanent blindness."

"I definitely told her, but that girl has gone mad." Su Yun sighed.

"Lao Mu, this matter needs your trouble." Su Yun looked at Mu Tao and said.

Mu Tao knew the trouble involved in such matters.

If it succeeds, the credit goes to Zheng Lao Ban and Su Yun; if it fails, days later the patient discovers blindness, and Zheng Lao Ban and company have already walked away, leaving all the mess for oneself to deal with, making one frazzled.

Good intentions, in the end, get bitten back; this farmer-and-snake story happens almost every day.

"Doctor Su, as your friend, if you say it's okay, just admit her; I have nothing to say on this side." Mu Tao also didn't haggle, smiling.

Saying that left Su Yun also speechless.

It sounds righteous, but actually there are deeper, more intricate thoughts. Lao Mu, like the boss, appears honest and simple, but actually harbors ill intentions.

Su Yun gave a contemptuous smile and said: "I'll go talk to Xu Suya; if it's feasible, we'll prepare for surgery."

Mu Tao nodded.

Soon, Xu Suya was admitted to a single room. To avoid exposure as much as possible, Mu Tao also arranged a dedicated nurse for her care.

Mu Tao also solemnly explained the situation to all personnel who could come into contact with Xu Suya.

It was as if facing a big star, doing everything as perfectly as possible.

Zheng Ren didn't bother with these trivial matters; he went to keep Wu Lao company, chatting about the Technique details of the Intracardiac Intervention Surgery.

Once everything was arranged, Zheng Ren then went to the Operating Room together with Wu Lao.

"Wu Lao, I'm about to undergo Shou Bing." Zheng Ren bowed slightly, maintaining respect for Wu Lao.

"Zheng Lao Ban, this visit really opened my eyes." Wu Lao chuckled, saying, "Go ahead, I'll follow along to gain more experience."

Su Yun laid out the sterile drape, and Zheng Ren turned around, scrubbed his hands, and went up onto the platform.
