Chapter 435: with translation of chapter title
Gao Shaojie has performed thoracic needle insertion before; it's nothing special.
Gao Shaojie has also heated three radiofrequency needles simultaneously; it's nothing special.
His focus is on the position of the three radiofrequency needles.
If Gao Shaojie were to operate, the position where he inserts the three radiofrequency needles would definitely differ from Zheng Ren's.
Anyone can perform a flat-plane operation.
The key in radiofrequency ablation is to avoid large blood vessels to prevent surgical collateral damage.
The plain-scan image on the CT screen clearly tells Gao Shaojie that the young operator inside is not thinking that way.
But why leave the needle like that? Some distances are dangerously close to a branch of the hepatic artery, less than 2 cm—could the operator's skill be lacking?
No, Gao Shaojie immediately dismissed that thought.
The operator's skill had already been fully demonstrated in previous TIPS surgery and liver cancer embolization.
He must have his reasons for doing this.
"Boss, solid geometry is pretty good." While Gao Shaojie was deep in thought, a lazy voice came.
Solid geometry?
Solid geometry!
Damn! Gao Shaojie suddenly had an epiphany.
They don't perform surgery based on CT planar images; instead, they use 64-slice CT 3D reconstruction, using the assisted surgery imaging slices from a three-dimensional perspective to perform radiofrequency ablation.
"All right." Zheng Ren walks out of the CT room, the lead door closes, and Su Yun operates the machine to begin the plain scan.
The position is just right; Zheng Ren smiles and says, "Get ready to heat."
This position is a conclusion Zheng Ren reached after meticulous calculation, based on the 3,000-surgery experience given by Big Pig Trotter.
Su Yun's keen eyes spotted it right away.
The positions of two needles differ from the normal ones, slightly off.
Doing this, all tumor tissue can be killed by heated radiofrequency, leaving no residual lesions.
Plus the Big Pig Trotter's added attribute—interventional surgery success rate +2—Zheng Ren is very confident; after Zheng Yunxia's surgery is completed, it can be said she is "cured".
Of course, the so-called cure only means existing lesions are cured; if new lesions appear later, we'll talk about it then.
Turn on the radiofrequency ablation machine and start heating.
Zheng Yunxia lies on the CT machine's diagnostic bed, very calm and composed.
"Zheng sister, does it hurt?" Xie Yiren enters to ask.
"Not painful." Zheng Yunxia replies with a smile.
"If it hurts, tell me and I'll give you an injection. But you must absolutely not move!" Xie Yiren cautions.
"I know." Zheng Yunxia says.
Fifteen minutes of thermal ablation time feels so long.
Zheng Ren crosses his arms, pondering the effect of radiofrequency ablation.
Suddenly, the phone rings!
Emergency department!
Zheng Ren's heart rate suddenly spikes to 120 beats per minute.
Really... what you fear, comes.
Su Yun glanced, then picked up Zheng Ren's phone and answered.
"Hmm, got it."
After just a response, Su Yun's body sprang up from the chair like a spring.
"Boss, emergency rescue. I'll go check it out, don't worry. Don't worry, do the surgery a bit slower, I'm over there!" After saying that, Su Yun took off running and vanished in a puff of smoke.
"..." Gao Shaojie speechless—has Haicheng City First Hospital become this awesome? A technician is leading the rescue?
"Fugui'er, I'll check the situation later; if it goes smoothly, I'll hand it over to you." Zheng Ren glanced at his watch; the ablation time was already nearly ten minutes.
"Alright, boss. You go handle the rescue; I'll take care of here, rest assured. This kind of surgery, I do three to five a day every day in Heidelberg." Professor Rudolf Wagner said.
"Be serious, don't be careless." Upon hearing the professor say that, Zheng Ren didn't relax; instead, he spoke sternly.
"Okay, boss, please rest assured; I will definitely not break Ma Zhang Fei."
Zheng Ren also feels helpless; it's Su Yun and Chang Yue, these two guys, forcing the professor to learn Northeastern dialect.
No matter how serious the topic, if spoken in Northeastern dialect, it automatically carries a humorous tone.
However, handing over the follow-up surgery cleanup work to Professor Rudolf Wagner is no big deal.
He is a world-top professor; you normally can't even get him.
Others feel each day like a year; Zheng Ren feels each second like a year.
Su Yun left; operating this CT machine now can only be done by Zheng Ren himself.
He removed his sterile gloves, waiting for the radiofrequency time.
He stared at the clock ticking second by second; when it reached fifteen minutes, Zheng Ren immediately had Xie Yiren, Chu Yanran, and Professor Rudolf Wagner come out of the CT room, then closed the lead door and began the CT plain scan.
The CT machine at City First Hospital is Philips', the latest model from three years ago, and it's very fast.
But Zheng Ren still feels the speed is damn slow.
Frames appear one by one on the machine; the liver malignant tumor filled with iodized oil has completely necrosed.
There is still no protein leakage image; that's because there isn't enough time.
"Success!" Zheng Ren said solemnly: "Fugui'er, you pull out the needles; you're responsible for what comes next—if there are any problems, call me directly."
Having said that, Zheng Ren already took off running, saying while running, "Wait for my call; we might need emergency surgery! Hey, Fugui'er, remember the needle burning protocol—definitely no seeding or metastasis!"
The words grew fainter and farther; after saying a sentence, Zheng Ren had already disappeared at the end of the hallway.
Gao Shaojie looked dumbfounded.
Everyone says that those in medicine treat women as men and men as livestock. The doctors and nurses of a large tertiary hospital have work intensity not at all less than that of Huawei engineers.
But like Haicheng Shi Yiyuan, they use world-top interventional doctors as little doctors in the Emergency Department……
This is really too wasteful of heavenly resources, right?
Emergency? Gao Shaojie's thoughts shifted, and he also went out.
This radiofrequency ablation Shou Bing has been completed; the three-dimensional ablation method, afterwards ask Chief Zheng for the images, then go back and ponder it.
Staying here any longer is also meaningless.
Go see Chief Zheng's Emergency 120 Emergency?
Gao Shaojie didn't run, but quickly walked out of the corridor, following signs to find the Emergency Department.
Wang Qiang had been to City First Hospital, so he was somewhat familiar, at least more familiar than Gao Shaojie. He closely followed Gao Shaojie, guiding the way, and the two quickly reached the Emergency Department.
Just entered the Emergency Department corridor, a bloody smell hit them.
Gao Shaojie felt a bit dazed.
Such high-intensity, high-paced emergency work—how many years had it been since I participated? The smell of blood so strong, could it be a stab wound?
While pondering, the sound of a gurney came from the Emergency Resuscitation Room.
Zheng Ren pulled the gurney, shouting: 'Get the elevator!'
All the way sprinting, Gao Shaojie stepped aside to make way for the gurney, and shockingly saw the technician kneeling on the gurney, his hand inside the patient's abdomen……
This is……
This is a severe liver rupture, manual hemostasis?!
'Hybrid Operating Room, prepare for Emergency Shou Bing! Quick!' Zheng Ren's voice came from afar, echoing in the corridor like a valley reverberation.
