Chapter 2854: 2760.2650 Gave him a big fright

2760.2650 Gave him a big fright.

Di Du, 912, Professor Yang has been feeling proud and high-spirited lately.

Recently his clinical thinking has begun to change somewhat; under Zheng Lao Ban's silent guidance, he has been paying more and more attention to minimally invasive surgery. His focus and energy have also gradually shifted away from traditional surgical procedures, turning toward this instead.

Liver cancer surgery, once you've done it all, there's not much more; Professor Yang believes improving his level is difficult.

Once, when he went to a consultation in the Gastroenterology Surgery department, he saw Quan Xiaocao training with a 3D-printed model person for minimally invasive gastrointestinal operations; this incident gave him a great shock.

Professor Yang knew that Quan Xiaocao was close to Zheng Lao Ban's medical team; even in Building 912 there was a rumor that Quan Xiaocao was considered the eldest princess of Zheng Lao Ban's medical team.

Professor Yang does not accept this; if there were an eldest princess, it should clearly be Lin Yuan, so how could it be Quan Xiaocao?

But that doesn't matter; the important point is that the Gastroenterology Surgery department has silently begun to engage in endoscopic treatment!

Letting go of past arrogance and stubbornness, coming into contact with new equipment and technology. No longer relying on traditional surgical methods as the main approach, but abandoning the former technological high point and beginning to look toward the future.

Director Wei is amazing! Professor Yang has his own judgment. This old director's courage is a bit small; it's said that Zheng Lao Ban wants to give him an interventional treatment for major venous varicose veins, and he got so scared he ran off without even pulling up his pants.

But this vision alone is truly awe-inspiring.

So Professor Yang, while doing his normal clinical work, is also studying minimally invasive hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery under endoscopic ultrasound guidance.

Not long ago he went to an island country for short-term advanced study, learning the world's most advanced endoscopic surgical techniques.

After returning, he applied with Director Li, and the relevant surgeries gradually began to be carried out.

The surgery Professor Yang learned has as its main indication the minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts; the new technique even causes less trauma and faster recovery than laparoscopic removal of pancreatic pseudocysts.

Professor Yang knows this is the future's major direction, the future's high point!

In Di Du, patients gather in crowds; selecting patients is not too simple. Although 50% of pancreatic pseudocysts don't need surgery, those that are excessively large, or have rupture risk, or are accompanied by fever—considering whether the cyst contains pus—are still many.

Because he had just started, Professor Yang only chose simple cases. After the practice of 3 months and 20 surgeries, he felt he had become mature.

Zheng Lao Ban is something of a guide; the future direction is minimally invasive! Minimally invasive!!! Minimally invasive!!!

By occupying this high point, ordinary surgeries can be picked up, and I can also perform minimally invasive surgery—something others cannot do.

After Director Li retires, it should be foreseeable that I will naturally succeed him as director.

So lately he has been very happy.

Moreover, Professor Yang has a little thought: so far he hasn't seen Zheng Lao Ban perform minimally invasive surgery on pancreatic pseudocysts. If his skill improves a bit and his technique becomes more proficient, could he show off in front of Zheng Lao Ban?

He harbors no ill will; it's like a child wanting adult approval—Professor Yang has this little thought in his heart.

Zheng Lao Ban is too busy; even after winning the Nobel Prize he has no time to celebrate. When he returns, invite him on stage to take a look—give him a fright!

Whenever Professor Yang thinks of this, his heart feels completely satisfied.

I have ability, technology, the old director's support and reinforcements; finally adding Zheng Lao Ban's this weight, the director's position is surely secured.

Today he has one endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst.

This morning there were liver cancer and gallbladder surgeries, so he deliberately scheduled this one for the afternoon.

This afternoon there's nothing much; he can sit quietly in the operating room, operating slowly and steadily. Each step of the surgery must be deeply etched in memory, and after returning home he must summarize the successes and failures.

Growth, continual growth. To say being a doctor is truly tiring—what age am I, still having to engage with new technology—Professor Yang, while changing clothes, thinks to himself.

If only I could be like Zheng Lao Ban, who already reached that height at a young age. Even his body, energy, stamina, and experience haven't peaked yet; as for how high he could go in the future, Professor Yang dares not guess.

Just doing well oneself is enough; if I could get a word of praise from Zheng Lao Ban, that would be a big deal to brag about to my kids even in old age.

The patient is positioned, Professor Yang scrubs up and goes on stage.

Anesthesia uses the painless gastroscope method; after the surgery ends, the patient can wake up. The patient lies on the left side, head slightly forward, legs bent.

Professor Yang first puts the dental pad on the scope, uses his left index finger to probe the patient's throat, and with his right hand guides the scope tip into the mouth. He pays close attention to the operation's delicacy, not insisting on speed. Carefully he makes the scope's surface direction or tip's bending arc parallel to the tongue base to avoid secondary injury.

These are all experience, accumulated from previous surgeries and summarized through postoperative reflection.

He inserts the scope between his left index and middle fingers into the throat. When encountering resistance, he slowly adjusts the insertion direction, never forcing passage.

Some are taught by Eastern teachers, Professor Yang adds his own understanding; others he figured out himself. Various details, more carefully making the surgery suit his operational habits.

"Professor Yang, your operating table is quite delicate, isn't it?" the anesthesiologist, sitting to one side, said while watching Professor Yang's operation.

Professor Yang knows this sounds like praise, but actually it hides a slight complaint.

Everyone wants the surgery to finish as quickly as possible, but promoting new technology isn't something you can rush just because you want to.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts is not widely performed worldwide, and related reports are nearly zero. Any complications or operative precautions can only be figured out bit by bit by oneself.

Fortunately, due to his own caution, all surgeries over the past three months have been successful.

He didn't argue with the anesthesiologist, but smiled and said, "Be careful, and you'll sail for ten thousand years."

"Today this patient's pancreatic pseudocyst is quite big; how do we plan to handle it?" the anesthesiologist said offhandedly, then asked.

Today the surgical patient's pancreatic pseudocyst is about 8 cm × 12 cm, qualifying as a "giant" cyst.

"I consulted the Eastern teacher; he suggested placing a stent. Complete drainage, with intermittent ultrasound checks every 2-3 days, then remove the stent once the cyst is fully collapsed."

"Professor Yang, you're already in your forties, yet you care so much and can master new technology so quickly—amazing!" the anesthesiologist praised.

"Amazing?" Professor Yang thought for a moment. But this remark... is really quite useful.
