Chapter 203

The operating room of the Second Provincial Hospital was full of people.

They were wearing scrubs, masks, and serious expressions. There was a sense of silence on and off the stage.

Although no one spoke, one could see the anxiety in their eyes. In the operating room, there was only the sound of the instruments running and the metal sound of the operating instruments colliding.

On the stage was a male patient in his 70s with gallbladder cancer. The operation had been going on for almost 5 hours, but it was not over.

With the strength of the hepatobiliary surgery department of the Second Provincial Hospital, even the gallbladder cancer operation with severe adhesions should be stepped down at this time.

But the operation in front of him was not even half completed.

The operation time determines the patient's recovery. The longer the time, the worse the recovery, and the more surgical risks and postoperative complications.

Everyone in the operating room knew this clearly.

Of course, not only them, but also the family members who had been waiting outside the operating room.

"It's been so long, why hasn't it been done yet? Didn't I say before that if everything goes well, the operation will only take four or five hours?"

"If I had known this, I might as well go to the capital for surgery. Although I have to wait in line and there are no private rooms, at least the technology is better than here."

As time goes by, the family members' hopes are gradually shattered.

"Hongzi, if it doesn't work, ask again, what's the situation inside, whether it can be done, don't make people nervous."

The person being questioned by the family members is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. At this time, his face is cold and his expression is unfriendly.

At this time, it is his father who is on the operating table.

As a big brother in the North Park, Qiao Hong has made a fortune by demolition in recent years. He has done many shameful things. Later, he got better and better, and his career was booming. Dance halls, KTVs, and bath centers are all over the provincial capital.

Although he is domineering, he is a well-known filial son in the local area.

After he got the money, he brought his parents from the countryside. Because he liked to grow vegetables, he specially built a yard in the villa worth millions of square meters, and built a shed for the old couple to grow vegetables.

But two days ago, his father was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer, which made him feel very bad.

In order to earn money to support the family and the four siblings, his father was injured when he was young.

Now he is old and can't bear the big surgery, so he asked people and learned about laparoscopic surgery.

Originally, he planned to go to the imperial capital for his father's surgery, after all, it would be reassuring.

But Qiao Hong was used to being arrogant in the provincial capital. Who would tolerate him when he went to the imperial capital?

Like other people, he scalped, queued up to see a doctor, waited for a ward, waited for an expert, and waited for surgery.

After seven days, he didn't even see the face of the surgical expert, not to mention the single room and special care, which are used to in the provincial capital.

Even the hundreds of thousands of cash prepared in the suitcase could not be delivered.

In a fit of anger, he took his father back to the provincial capital. It happened that the hepatobiliary surgery department of the Second Provincial Hospital in Beiyuan could perform laparoscopic surgery.

So, he spent money and found the director, and arranged a single room and special care.

But the gallbladder, because of its structure, is located in the liver area, pancreas, and duodenum, and has arteries and veins, blood vessels, common hepatic duct, and common bile duct. Once severe adhesion occurs, surgery is really more difficult than climbing to the sky.

And CT scans can only give a rough idea. All problems can only be seen clearly by opening the abdominal cavity.

However, Qiao Hong's father was unfortunate. When the hepatobiliary surgery department inserted the lens into the old man's abdominal cavity through a laparoscope, the scene in front of them stunned everyone.

The entire gallbladder was tightly wrapped by cancerous tissue, the blood vessels on it were intricate, and the original anatomical structure completely disappeared.

The entire tissue was like a mess, which dazzled everyone.

Even the abdominal cavity at the beginning was seriously adhered. It took them nearly three hours to free it bit by bit.

This was just the preliminary work. No one dared to move the gallbladder. The eroded tissue around it spread everywhere like vines.

The liver, gallbladder, and pancreas were crawling with brown cancer cells. To successfully complete this operation, the difficulty was no less than a pancreaticoduodenectomy.

This is hepatobiliary surgery, known as the "Mount Everest" operation.

Shen Yiwei, director of hepatobiliary surgery, has been working for so many years and has performed more than a thousand cholecystectomies, but he has never seen such a patient.

If it is in its prime, and the patient has better basic conditions and is younger, and it is done by open surgery, the probability of success may be higher.

But now, he has no confidence in doing such an operation with a laparoscope, which he is not good at.

"Xu Guoqiang, you conduct the operation. I will talk to the family members. If they agree to switch to laparotomy..."

Shen Yiwei, who was in the main position on the stage, took off his gloves without waiting for others' opinions and threw them into the yellow medical waste bin beside him.

Xu Guoqiang's face twitched involuntarily on the stage. He had an ominous premonition about the director's request.

At this time, Shen Yiwei, who was under great pressure, walked out of the operating room with worry and prepared to explain the old man's condition to Qiao Hong.

Now he regretted taking this operation very much, but regret was useless. After all, the other party had great power in this area. There were some things that even Shen Yiwei could not completely decide.

But one thing was certain, the operation could not be performed. Even if the family members agreed to switch to laparotomy, it could only alleviate the old man's condition.

If he wanted to completely remove the old man, he would most likely die on the operating table.

The most ideal way is to give up the surgery and take conservative treatment.

Although the old man will not live for too long, he can wake up and go down the stage, see his relatives, and explain his last affairs. This is better than being unable to get off the stage.

"Brother Qiao, abdominal surgery is really impossible. The best way now is..."

Shen Yiwei, who is a few years older than Qiao Hong, called him brother. At this moment, his surgical cap was soaked with sweat because of nervousness.

Beads of sweat kept coming out and soon met at the neck, forming a stream that kept flowing down.

"I don't accept other methods. Only laparoscopy can save my father. You can ask for anything. I just want my father to live."

Qiao Hong rejected all other plans of Shen Yiwei as if he was determined to do it.

"But if we continue, I'm afraid the old man will not be able to get off the stage..."

"Then don't even think about leaving the operating room."

Qiao Hong's eyes were red, like a violent lion, and his eyes seemed to be able to bite Shen Yiwei to death at any time.

Shen Yiwei was very clear about Qiao Hong's methods. Even now, if he said anything bad about the old man, he would probably get punched in the face.

Although it felt incredible, this kind of thing often happens in this era.

Shen Yiwei heard from the doctor in the emergency room last time that the two gangs were fighting, and the ambulance was called out, and someone put a knife on the neck to suture the wound.

That scene, now recalling it, makes people feel scared.

Shen Yiwei returned to the operating room in a daze. He stood in front of the operating room door for a long time without moving. His feet felt like a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move. It seemed that there was a sea of ​​fire and knives inside, and once he entered, he would never get out again.
