Back to 1999: From Operating Surgeon to Becoming a Top Doctor

Chapter 462

"Xiao Xiao, is this the 22nd liver resection you performed today?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Dehuai looked at the patient lying on the stretcher, who was clear-eyed and clear-eared.

He was still amazed at the number.

22 liver resections, completed in one day, this record is probably unsurpassed by anyone.

"Yes, Chairman Yang, there are a lot of patients coming for surgery these days, so we have arranged a few more today." Xiao Chenguang said lightly.

22 surgeries in one day may be incredible in the eyes of others, but this is not Xiao Chenguang's record.

In later generations, for some special reasons, Xiao Chenguang once used one night to remove 25 appendectomies.

This caused quite a stir at the time.

Faced with Xiao Chenguang's calmness, Yang Dehuai no longer knew what words to use to describe him.

This is a liver resection.

It is not the kind of first- and second-level surgery that can be completed by just going on stage and moving your hands.

Under normal circumstances, two or three hours to do one operation is already the best.

This is still done according to Yang Dehuai's standards.

If a lower-level hospital performs liver resection, it will take from morning till night, and finally a flying surgeon will be needed. These are all things he has personally experienced.

Extraordinary talent!

After thinking about it, only this word can describe Xiao Chenguang at this moment.

"Xiao Xiao, I feel that it is right to come to Yingcheng today. Let's discuss tomorrow's operation later?"

"No problem."

Xiao Chenguang agreed very naturally, and he continued: "But Chairman Yang, please wait for me for a moment. The patients who have undergone surgery today still need to be rounded and the subsequent treatment plan needs to be adjusted."

This is a habit that Xiao Chenguang has developed from years of surgery.

There are a lot of postoperative patients today, more than 20 patients, and there must be a few with relatively serious conditions.

Xiao Chenguang is worried, and he must go to see them first after stepping down to know what is going on.

"I understand this, Xiao Xiao, I'm asking, can I follow you to make rounds?"

Yang Dehuai has been doing surgery for so many years, and he also has the habit of making rounds after surgery.

Check the patient's drainage volume and changes in vital signs.

Pay special attention to the trend of body temperature every four hours, which is an important basis for whether there is hemorrhagic fever or abdominal infection after surgery.

"Okay, I can't wait to welcome you. It's an honor for our Shengli Hospital to have Chairman Yang to guide you." Xiao Chenguang accepted it with pleasure.

Having such a respected senior as Yang Dehuai to follow the ward rounds can also broaden everyone's horizons.

After all, the existence of one of the best surgical departments in the provincial capital will definitely bring a big sensation to the department.

The most important thing is that some case interpretations finally don't need Xiao Chenguang to explain it himself.

For a time, the news that Yang Dehuai participated in the general surgery ward rounds spread throughout Shengli Hospital.

The first to come was the general surgery department under Xiao Chenguang's jurisdiction, including hepatobiliary surgery and gastrointestinal surgery. Doctors who were not on night shifts and off day shifts arrived.

Secondly, some doctors from chest and cardiothoracic surgery and urology surgery also came to see Chairman Yang's style.

The whole corridor was filled with white coats. This scene also made the patients in the ward understand that another professor from the provincial capital would come to Shengli Hospital for rounds today.

They were overjoyed and talked about it.

"My goodness, this is the first professor from the provincial capital to come for rounds. It feels like today's scene is even bigger. I have never seen so many white coats doing rounds in my life."

"I heard that the one doing rounds this time is the chairman of the Provincial Surgery Association, the founder of provincial general surgery. He has a high reputation in the provincial capital and is said to rarely come down for rounds."

"They are all great professors, just like Professor Xu who came from the provincial capital two days ago. The momentum of the team is different from usual. How many connections does our Director Xiao have to invite so many experts from the provincial capital to come down for rounds for free."

"Who knows, but I understand the principle of birds of a feather flock together. If it weren't for our Director Xiao's excellence, how could he have any intersection with these great professors."

"That's the truth. Anyway, I really didn't expect that I just came to Shengli Hospital for an operation, but I could get diagnosis and treatment from a professor from the provincial capital. Now even if I have to have another operation, I feel I have earned it."

The words of the patient in the same bed at the end caused everyone to nod.

With Director Xiao, they not only enjoyed the medical treatment of the provincial capital for free, but also all the experts and scholars who came were famous.

They didn't have to travel a long way to the provincial capital for treatment, but could communicate with these medical experts face to face and get valuable advice.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was unthinkable in the past.

My evaluation of the general surgery department and Shengli Hospital was rising like a rocket.

The same mood as the patients at this time was the doctors who kept rushing over from various departments.

As the surgical patients were checked one by one, some points that were not paid much attention to at ordinary times became clear and clear in an instant after Yang Dehuai's explanation.

The unique evidence-based thinking benefited everyone a lot.

And Xiao Chenguang, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but nod.

Yang Dehuai was able to serve as the chairman of the Provincial Surgery Association, and he really had his own two brushes.

The questions were explained very comprehensively, and Yang Dehuai could answer all the knowledge points involved in liver resection surgery one by one.

This alone deserves praise.

But at this time, facing Xiao Chenguang's inner approval, Yang Dehuai became more and more frightened the more he investigated.

"It has only been a short time, and Xiao Xiao has already regarded the demonstration surgery as a routine surgery. Among the 22 surgical patients, no one had more than two drainage tubes."

Yang Dehuai proposed the ward rounds, and also wanted to see the effect of Xiao Chenguang performing 22 liver resection surgeries in such a short time.

But walking through the wards one by one, all the patients have started to move around in bed.

No fever, no groaning in pain, no groaning

Everyone has a ruddy face and is full of energy.

Even the most important drainage volume on the day after surgery is surprisingly small.

According to this situation, the patients who have surgery today will be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

Even among them, nearly half of the surgical patients did not even have drainage tubes placed.

If they were not waiting for Yang Dehuai's ward rounds, they would probably be able to walk at this moment.

This...

Yang Dehuai couldn't believe his eyes.

Even though he had seen Xiao Chenguang's demonstration surgery before, he was still shocked.

In his cognition, fast surgery is not worth showing off.

But the operation was done quickly and well, and more than 20 operations were performed in a row without any omissions.

This was beyond imagination, and Yang Dehuai's decades of surgical experience was severely impacted at this moment.

"Xiao Xiao, how long have you been doing operations like today?"

After the rounds, Yang Dehuai came to the office and couldn't wait to ask what he was thinking.

"In just a few days, there were only more than a hundred operations."

"More than a hundred?!"

Hearing this, Yang Dehuai was speechless.
