Chapter 448: Chief Zheng, thank you for your hard work
Everyone immediately stopped commenting in unison, focusing on the surgery that was about to take place.
Even those who did not understand hepatobiliary and interventional surgery knew the difficulties of TIPS surgery when they went to do their own research about it.
This was a top-notch interventional surgery. Furthermore, it was also a method to replace portal-azygos devascularization surgery.
However, whether it was TIPS surgery or portal-azygos devascularization surgery, there were many complications post-op and the surgery itself was very risky. This was already the industry’s consensus.
The operator in the surgery live broadcast dared to broadcast the emergency TIPS surgery live and had done such an elegant job of it. This undoubtedly proved his skill level and strength.
What about this time? What kind of wonders would this TIPS surgery bring to everyone?
Everyone was looking forward to it.
The bullet messages stopped as the piercing kit entered through the black shadow of the guide wire.
[Wanna take guesses on how many punctures he’ll need to make this time?]
[3.]
[4.]
[…]
Many people only typed out a number. The guesses were just a joke, a way for the audience to entertain themselves in the meantime.
However, the vast majority assumed that it would take him three to four tries.
After all, even the number one Mayo Clinic could only guarantee a success rate of about three to four punctures. Could the surgeon really surpass this number?
It was absolutely impossible.
Although it was an emergency TIPS surgery the last time, the surgeon only needed four punctures to complete the surgery. However, there was another thing called luck.
Perhaps the last time, the surgeon’s luck was better.
Of course, there were also doctors who wrote down numbers such as 10, 15, and so on.
The more amazing the surgeons in the surgery live broadcast room were, the more hectic things would become. They were very much looking forward to the surgeon making a mistake once during the surgery.
If he did not make a single mistake, how could he still be human? Even if it was a live broadcast by the Mayo Clinic, so what!
A series of numbers appeared, engulfing the screen.
Everyone wanted to participate in this speculation. It was a form of participation
However…
Something no one had expected happened.
Under the cover of a series of numbers, after the puncture kit reached its position, it seemed to move a little before staying completely still. After that, it was withdrawn.
What was going on?
There was a faint black line between the intrahepatic branch of the portal and the hepatic vein. It was barely discernible, so it was impossible to make an accurate judgment.
The doctors watching the live broadcast surgery were stunned. What was going on? Why did the needle set go out?
Should it not change its position repeatedly? Punctures usually needed to be done with an extreme amount of caution.
After one needle was positioned, one would begin with the next needle. After at least three to five times, they would finally be blessed by the gods and be successful with the punctures.
Why did he remove it after just one puncture?
What was going on?
Or, maybe the surgeon had taken the wrong equipment and not installed the puncture needle into the puncture kit?
This kind of situation had happened before. During the surgery, even scissors and gauze could be forgotten in the patient’s stomach. That seemed quite possible?
[Ha, the surgeon has made a mistake.]
[I don’t think so. The surgeon’s technique was not particularly fast, but their hand seemed pretty steady.]
[Anyone can make a mistake. Don’t assume the surgeon’s a god. He’s also an ordinary person. A mistake is not a big deal. Hahaha, let me laugh for a few minutes. This is so interesting. There is actually such a big mistake on the live broadcast!]
[Stop babbling for a moment. Don’t you remember how the surgeon has slapped our faces countless times?]
[Are you saying the surgeon didn’t even think about it and succeeded in one puncture? Young Man, I can tell you that you’re underestimating TIPS surgery. This is the most difficult procedure in interventional surgery. Whether or not the surgery can be completed depends on whether or not you can gain the God of Luck’s favor.]
As they were talking, the piercing kit had been removed and replaced with a stent to slide in from the guide wire during the live broadcast.
When they saw this, all the bullet comments in the live broadcast room halted.
Could it be that the puncture was successful in just one try?
[Was it successful?]
[That seems to be the case… However, I’d rather see three or five punctures during the TIPS surgery than something like this.]
[That’s impossible, the surgeon must have used some other method to locate it. It hasn’t even been 15 minutes since the surgery began and you’re telling me it’s over?]
[I was late. How’s the TIPS surgery? What happened? Fortunately, I’m only a couple of minutes late. Damn… He’s already progressed so far!]
A few bullet comments flew past while the live broadcasting room fell silent.
In the silence, the stent reached its position, opened, and connected the portal vein to the hepatic vein.
Then, the next stent came in, perfectly overlapping.
After the surgery, the live broadcast room was cut off, leaving hundreds of doctors in turmoil.
“Lil Fugui, I’m leaving the rest to you.” After Zheng Ren finished the TIPS surgery, he turned around and left. As he took off his sterile gloves, he spoke to Professor Rudolf Wagner.
The professor stood at the operating table in a daze.
What did he just see?
Unlike the previous 20 TIPS surgeries, Zheng Ren carefully adjusted his position when he operated on the puncture kit. He carefully aimed, held his breath, and pressed the button.
Although the final result was the same, Professor Rudolf Wagner could clearly feel the huge difference between the TIPS surgery yesterday and today.
It was because of Zheng Ren’s movements!
Today’s movements were gentle and steady, full of confidence.
Today’s positioning was accurate and precise like he had plenty of experience doing so.
The confidence he had earlier….
His mind felt like it was in shambles.
Professor Rudolf Wagner stared blankly at the screen in front of him. He did not hear Zheng Ren talking to him at all. His mind was still processing the surgery procedures from earlier.
The entire surgery was done like an antelope hanging its horn. It had been so swift.
Was there anything difficult about it? Not at all.
If the surgery performed by the Secondary Hospital the day before yesterday, the professor felt he could achieve it after practicing for a period of time. After today’s surgery however…
To be honest, Professor Rudolf Wagner did not understand what went on at all today.
Zheng Ren was so relaxed and carefree, as if he was playing the violin himself. It did not seem like he was performing surgery at all, especially the most difficult surgery to intervene in, the TIPS surgery!
“Hey, Lil Fugui, what are you doing?” Zheng Ren used his elbow to nudge Professor Rudolf Wagner on the back.
The lead apron was stuffy and the professor was being absent-minded.
“Oh, oh,” the professor answered absentmindedly, but his movements were as stiff as a marionette.
Zheng Ren went to put on the lead apron from the System before heading to the operating room.
In the operating room, Chu Yanran and Chu Yanzhi were chatting about something. They lowered their voices and occasionally laughed softly.
TIPS surgery only required local anesthesia, so the Chu sisters were more than enough.
Xie Yiren was operating in the operating room, preparing sterile gauze and bandages for Professor Rudolf Wagner.
“Thanks for your hard work, Chief Zheng,” Chief Sun said with a smile.
Zheng Ren was confused. It had not even been half an hour. What hard work was there?
