Chapter 1072: Tang Yu's Surgical Romance!
When I went out the next day, it had rained; the slanting rain fell to the ground, making one feel a hint of coolness.
Tang Ye arrived at Hanzhou Hospital and saw Dou Qingqing outside the operating room.
The moment Dou Qingqing saw Tang Ye, her originally panicked emotions gradually stabilized.
After undergoing pre-operative examinations, Dou Fanggang appeared in everyone's view, lying on a flat transport cart.
Dou Qingqing hurried over and gently held his right hand, while his wife held his left hand on the other side.
Although she tried hard to tell herself not to cry, his wife still couldn't help it, and tears moistened her eyes.
Dou Fanggang smiled at his wife, "I'm fine! Don't worry, there's no need to worry about me."
Dou Qingqing said softly, "Dad, we don't need you to comfort us right now; you are the one who needs encouragement and support."
His wife's body trembled as she choked out, "Husband, you must be alright. If I didn't have you, I really wouldn't know what to do. For my sake, for Qingqing's sake, you must hold on."
Dou Fanggang smiled, "You make it sound like a final parting."
After saying this, he glanced at Tang Ye, "Little Tang, thank you for putting aside your work to come and accompany them. With you here, I can rest easy."
A solemn look appeared on Tang Ye's face, "Chairman, you are a noble person in my heart. I will wait with them for your healthy return."
Dou Fanggang raised his hand.
Tang Ye hurried over and gently high-fived him.
……
Dou Fanggang was sent into the operating room.
Tang Yu was wearing surgical scrubs, and after disinfecting, he met Dou Fanggang.
"Mr. Dou, we will be administering anesthesia shortly. Before that, there is something I must give to you."
Dou Fanggang shook his head, "What is it?"
Tang Yu looked at his assistant at this moment.
The assistant took out a piece of paper and said softly, "This is a letter your wife wrote for you."
Dou Fanggang looked at the assistant in surprise, clearly caught off guard by this unexpected gesture.
The assistant quickly explained, "This is a habit of our Dean Tang. For surgeries with a certain level of difficulty, he always arranges for family members to write a letter to the patient, and before administering anesthesia, he reads this letter to the patient."
This was the surgical romance unique to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu summarized his experience: a patient's belief in survival can significantly increase the success rate of a surgery.
The assistant began to read the letter.
"My dear husband!
I have to say I'm sorry to you.
Do you remember the first time we met? I saw you, so countrified, and when eating noodles, you slapped a clove of garlic open, peeled it, and handed it to me, telling me that if you eat noodles without garlic, half the flavor is lost. I felt so repulsed at the time; how could this person be so crude?
Later, under pressure from my mother, I still interacted with you. Although you were far from my ideal life partner, I eventually made peace with myself.
We had Qingqing. You were very busy with work at the time, and when Qingqing was sick, I was the one taking care of her alone. I was in low spirits and argued with you countless times, even wanting to divorce you. But one sentence you said at the time moved me. You said that even if it were the end of the world, you would be with us.
Through your own efforts, you went from being a worker to having your own factory, and you built the factory bigger and bigger. In fact, countless times, I have felt fortunate for that initial choice. Because I almost missed out on the most excellent man in the world.
I am very lucky.
I, with my bad temper, met you, with your steady emotions.
I hope you remember the promise you made when we married.
You are to protect me for the rest of this life..."
After listening, Dou Fanggang took a deep breath and requested of Tang Yu, "Dean Tang, could you record a message for me? I'm afraid that after the surgery, I won't be able to speak again."
Tang Yu nodded, "Wait a moment, I will have someone find a voice recorder."
A moment later, the assistant brought a voice recorder.
Dou Fanggang gathered his emotions, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and a thousand words were condensed into one sentence.
"Thank you for this letter you gave me. I will love you all forever."
Seeing that the emotional groundwork before the surgery was sufficient, Tang Yu said softly, "Mr. Dou, we are going to begin the surgery now. Don't be nervous; just pretend you are having a dream. When you wake up, everything will be fine."
Dou Fanggang smiled, "Dean Tang, I feel fortunate for my choice."
Although Tang Yu appeared very serious on the outside, before the surgery, he provided a lot of ritual and emotional value, allowing Dou Fanggang to relax completely.
As the anesthetic agent entered Dou Fanggang's body.
Dou Fanggang quickly lost consciousness.
Tang Yu took a deep breath, his eyes becoming resolute, and he said in a deep voice, "Begin!"
……
This was a thrilling Skull Base Tumor Resection.
The tumor cunningly extended all the way from the cavernous sinus to the neck, entrenched in the fatal thoroughfare of nerves and blood vessels.
A skull base tumor is a "crazy holdout"!
It treats the gaps in the skull base as illegal structures, and the nerves and blood vessels become its water and electricity lines!
It plays dirty, expanding everywhere along the holes and fissures of the skull; the optic nerve, carotid artery, and brainstem were all "forcibly demolished and rebuilt" by it.
Facing this stubborn opponent, Tang Yu meticulously planned a three-dimensional encirclement!
First, adopt the Anterolateral Sublabyrinthine Approach.
Like a precise bomb disposal expert, carefully grind away the bone around the facial nerve.
Enter the rear, open the jugular foramen, and open it between the posterior group of cranial nerves.
Here, the endoscope becomes a capable assistant.
By gently placing the lens into the nerve gap, one can clearly observe the full picture of the tumor from bottom to top.
Most of the tumor was removed bit by bit with the assistance of the endoscope.
However, a craniotomy is ultimately difficult to reach the cavernous sinus region.
This could not stump Tang Yu either!
In the second stage of the surgery, he switched to the endoscopic transnasal approach, launching a final all-out attack on the residual tumor from top to bottom.
If one views the human brain as a level-clearing game, then the skull base region is no different from a "maze" without a map.
Once you accidentally wander in, "getting lost" is a minor matter; what is more terrifying is encountering all sorts of strange "creatures."
Tumors, they come in all shapes and sizes and grow wherever they please; not only do they block the path, but accidentally touching one is very likely to result in a Game Over.
Complete surgical resection is the preferred treatment plan for skull base tumors and is also the core goal of skull base surgery.
Because the anatomical structure of the skull base region is extremely complex, it involves numerous cranial nerves and critical arteries and veins.
Achieving complete tumor resection while avoiding serious complications is no small challenge for a neurosurgeon.
Professor Cheng stood on the periphery, staring fixedly at the screen, observing every one of Tang Yu's maneuvers.
He felt even more nervous than if he were performing the surgery himself!
His own student, Tang Yu, was currently demonstrating the results of these past few days of simulated surgery!
He was not only replicating the unique skills of an internationally renowned neurosurgery expert!
He was also seeking to surpass them on the original foundation...
