Chapter 373 Unsure Professor

A total of five people wrapped themselves tightly with sterile caps and masks. Then I stood in front of the operating table...

At this time, the anesthetist had passed the spinal column and performed general anesthesia... The patient had already been anesthetized and turned over on the operating table, waiting for Johnny to operate on him...

"Vital signs are stable...can be operated on!" The anesthesiologist carefully reported to Liu Jinshan, director of Johnny's Department of Surgery.

"Professor Johnny, may I start the operation now?" Liu Jinshan asked Professor Johnny carefully.

Johnny nodded, then looked at Xu Ze at the side, and said with a smile, "Then let's start..."

The patient is lying prone on the operating bed, the back of the head has already been shaved, leaving only a bare piece...

"Xu...you should do the preparations first..." Professor Johnny was very cautious. Although he wanted to test Xu Ze's ability, he was not crazy enough to let Xu Ze perform the operation at will.

Therefore, he decided to allow Xu Ze to carry out the preparatory work before the operation. If it was done well, he would not mind letting Xu Ze continue the initial stage of the operation. Of course, if it was not possible, then naturally Xu Ze would not be allowed to continue...

Liu Jinshan next to him looked at Xu Ze with some jealousy. Director Liu was a little puzzled, how could Professor Johnny find such a young man as a surgical assistant.

He would be very happy if Professor Johnny asked him to do the preparations. Since he was an assistant, he would naturally be able to stand in the best surgical position. Come to assist Professor Johnny to complete the operation, and also be able to stand at the best angle to learn the situation of this difficult operation...

It's a pity that all of this is not him, but a senior student who was an intern at the First Attached University of Star University more than half a year ago...

However, although Director Liu Jinshan said nothing at all in the Department of Surgery attached to Xingda University, but now here, it is not his turn to make decisions...

Hearing Johnny's words and the slightly smiling eyes above his mask, Xu Ze smiled lightly, then nodded, walked forward, took the tweezers handed over by the nurse next to him, Start to pick up the complex iodine cotton ball in the disinfection tube next to it, and start to sterilize the back of the patient's head from the inside out...

Looking at Xu Ze's skillful disinfection action and the standard disinfection range, Johnny next to him nodded secretly, thinking to himself: "It seems that this kid really knows how to do this operation...at least the preparation work But well done…”

After Xu Ze had been disinfected and put on the surgical towel, Johnny stood beside Xu Ze and looked at the disinfection situation, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "...Xu...you should do the craniotomy first..."

"Craniotomy? Me?" Xu Ze pointed at himself in amazement,

asked in surprise.

"Yes...you...it's you..." Looking at Xu Ze's face full of astonishment, Johnny smiled and said.

"Oh...Okay!" Seeing Johnny's not fake appearance, Xu Ze couldn't help but smiled softly. Then he nodded and began to prepare for the operation...

Liu Jinshan next to him finally couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at Johnny in surprise and said, "Professor Johnny... this operation is extremely difficult. Do you really ask your assistant to do it?"

"Hehe...Don't worry, Director Liu, he's just doing the initial craniotomy, and I'll do it myself for the removal of the glioma later..." Johnny had great confidence in Xu Ze at this moment, he believed that Xu Ze would be able to handle such an early stage of the operation. The craniotomy should not be a big problem.

Xu Ze grabbed the scalpel handed over by the nurse at the side, and then gently began to operate on the back of the patient's head...

The operation here is actually not a real craniotomy. The back of the head, at the lower part of the skull, only needs to cut a little bit of the skull...

So relatively speaking, the initial surgery is actually not complicated. An ordinary neurosurgeon with a little bit of experience can easily complete it...

At this time, those doctors who watched the operation inside through TV, saw that Professor Johnny actually let Xu Ze be his assistant, many people began to discuss, this Professor Johnny. How can such a young person be an assistant?

However, there is also someone who is relatively familiar with Xu Ze, that is, the director of abdominal surgery. He has heard of Xu Ze's hands-on ability. At the beginning, he wanted to snatch Xu Ze from the emergency department, but he failed... But he didn't expect it , Xu Ze actually appeared here at this time, and became Professor Johnny's assistant...

In his opinion, with Xu Ze's ability, there shouldn't be any problems...

Of course, Xu Ze did not live up to his expectations. He easily cut open the skin at the back of the head, and then gently wiped away the gushing blood with gauze... Then he carefully cut open the skull, exposing the entire cranial cavity near the thalamus In the surgical field...

Xu Ze carefully wiped away the blood oozing from the entire operative field, and then looked at the small tumor near the thalamus that was hidden deep in several tiny nerves, Xu Ze frowned lightly inadvertently, and then Putting down the gauze in his hand, he took two steps back, looked at Johnny and said, "Professor...the surgical field has been opened..."

"It's done well..." Johnny next to him has been carefully watching Xu Ze's movements. After all, although this craniotomy is not too difficult, and generally there will be no problems, he still carefully stares at Xu Ze. Hold on until Xu Ze puts down the scalpel...

He naturally knew the situation of Xu Ze's operation, and he also knew that Xu Ze had perfectly completed the preliminary preparations for this operation, and successfully opened the head...

"Okay... ready to start the operation..." Of course, it is impossible for Johnny to let Xu Ze do the next operation. After all, this operation is not trivial. If you are not careful, the operation will fail and the patient will die on the spot... So this operation It is listed as the most difficult operation in the world...

Professor Johnny stood where Xu Ze had just stood. And Xu Ze stood on the right side of Johnny, and on the left were the director of major surgery Liu Jinshan and the director of neurosurgery...

"Tweezers..." Johnny stretched out his hand, without looking back, stretched out his hand, and said to the equipment nurse beside him.

The equipment nurse quickly handed over a pair of tweezers and handed them to Professor Johnny.

Professor Johnny used tweezers to gently poke away the skin and muscles on both sides, and finally saw what was inside...

Carefully observed the situation inside... But after seeing it, his face suddenly became ugly...

Seeing that Professor Johnny suddenly turned ugly, Liu Jinshan and the director of neurosurgery next to him quickly stretched their heads to have a look...

Taking a closer look, the two of them were also dumbfounded...

The thalamus is exposed to everyone, but the small tumor is hidden under several nerves, which tightly wrap the small tumor. If you want to cut this tumor, you must first Bypass these hair-sized nerves...

But such small nerves that are tightly wrapped around the tumor, who can easily peel them off... If you are not careful, if any nerve is broken or damaged, it may cause the patient Sudden accidents, even death...

Who can do such an operation with confidence, these few nerves have completely deepened the difficulty of this operation by more than a little. At least for now, it seems that compared to the first 70% success rate, it has dropped to less than 10%...

Johnny looked at the small tumor wrapped in nerves with a sullen face, then used the magnifying glass on his forehead to observe for a long time, and finally shook his head slightly.

Then he turned his head to look at Liu Jinshan next to him, and said in a deep voice: "In this case...the success rate has dropped to the lowest point...it will not exceed 10%...you can ask the family members to see if you can do it..."

Hearing Johnny's words, Liu Jinshan hesitated a little bit. For this operation, I remembered that Professor Johnny and Professor Pitt agreed to come over. But after guaranteeing a high success rate, I persuaded the family members, and the hospital subsidized part of the cost; after the family members agreed, they paid over 100,000 yuan, and Fuyi invited these two professors to come for this operation...

If this is suddenly stopped halfway, then it will be difficult to explain to the patient's family...

Xu Ze naturally knew about this situation long ago. Professor Johnny and Liu Jinshan said so, but Xu Ze interjected: "Professor Johnny, this patient's tumor is now close to one centimeter, if this continues , it is impossible for the patient to live beyond two months..."

Everyone who listened to Xu Ze's words understood what he meant. Generally speaking, this operation must be done. If the patient doesn't have it, he can live for two months at most; if he does it, there is still a glimmer of hope. ...But the consequence is, either the operation is successful, or he dies on the operating table...

Originally, there was a risk in the operation, and the family members also signed it, but no one is willing to take the risk of such an obvious problem, unless the patient's family members sign again... This is life and death...they dare Get this knife...

Everyone knows what Xu Ze means, that is direct surgery, there is no other way...

At that moment, Liu Jinshan pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay...I will go out and talk to the family members. If you agree...then we will do it. If you don't agree...then the head will be sealed..."

The doctors next to the TV outside also heard the conversation inside at this time. Although the cameras were all high-definition, they still couldn't see the specific situation of the thalamus clearly, but they heard the words of these three people. , Everyone was shocked now, knowing that there might be other problems with this operation...

Liu Jinshan hasn't been out for too long, but Xu Ze seems to have passed for a long time... He now knows the patient's condition very well. This glioblastoma grows extremely fast, and it will invade in a month at most. part of the thalamus. And when the time comes, once this patient is invaded by tumor cells into the thalamus, he will die from brain herniation or central respiratory failure in at most half a month...

So, this surgery has to be done...

---It's even later today, I'm really embarrassed to say the reason, it can be said that Tian Nan is lazy today, it's better for Tian Nan to ask for a little vacation, alas ---
