Chapter 352 -170: This is Strength, the Lucky Star of the Group
Director Wen, apart from average skills in endoscopic surgery, definitely possesses traditional surgical abilities well above the standard.
After a series of operations, a small hole was drilled into the skull.
The entire process was filled with the masterful demeanor of Director Wen.
“Alright, Xiao Zhou, the rest of the surgery is yours!”
Director Wen stepped aside from the primary surgeon’s position.
Zhou Can went to the primary surgeon’s position confidently and without any formality stood firm.
Director Liu and Doctor Hu both watched, stunned.
This was neurosurgery’s home territory, and the arrangements made by Director Wen were not to be second-guessed by them.
They could only silently watch on.
Seeing Zhou Can step up to the primary surgeon’s position, both were both shocked and distressed.
Absurd.
Such a major surgery, with such high risk, what was Director Wen thinking? To actually let a resident complete the most critical part of the surgery – removing the hematoma and stopping the bleeding.
Even if they wanted to focus on cultivating someone, this isn’t the way to do it!
This is a living human life!
Life is of utmost importance, respecting life has sunk deep into the hearts of every conscientious doctor.
Zhou Can has already taken over the endoscope electrocautery without any hurry and first made a cruciate incision in the dura mater.
This action made Director Liu beside him extremely nervous.
Fearing that Xiao Zhou would make a misstep, and the patient would be done for.
At this point, the patient’s vital signs showed severe fluctuations. Breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, all underwent drastic changes. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Did he cut into the brain tissue inside?”
Director Liu asked in both horror and anger.
“It’s a normal reaction caused by the patient’s stimulation,”
Zhou Can appeared very calm.
Director Wen looked at Director Liu leisurely. “Be patient and don’t panic!”
These words were like a tenfold crit to Director Liu.
If it hadn’t been Director Wen who said this and if it wasn’t for saving face, Director Liu would have definitely burst out in anger at their actions, which were akin to killing someone.
By this time, Zhou Can had already completed the endoscope insertion.
The patient’s blood pressure dropped significantly, and the heart rate also plummeted. The breathing became weak.
“This is simply messing around, it’s killing someone!”
Director Liu couldn’t contain his anger.
Frantically helping the patient to stabilize their vital signs.
Director Wen saw the patient’s condition suddenly turn very bad, and his heart sank as well.
Not to mention the other doctors and nurses.
“Don’t panic!”
Zhou Can said just three short words and continued to focus on the surgery.
As he drained the blood from within the patient’s skull, the patient’s vital signs began to rise rapidly.
“Just now it was probably just a sudden release of the patient’s intracranial hypertension, coupled with the damage caused by craniotomy, resulting in a brief stress response. It was not a mistake in Dr. Zhou’s operation,”
the anesthetist, who had been silent, explained calmly.
He wasn’t new to neurosurgery and had been involved in anesthesia for surgeries many times, having witnessed Zhou Can’s surgical prowess. So, seeing Director Liu’s overreactions made him somewhat displeased.
He was more worried that Director Liu’s indiscriminate cursing here would interfere with Zhou Can’s surgery.
It was, in fact, a dangerous behavior.
That was why he took the initiative to speak up and prove Zhou Can’s innocence.
After draining the blood in the patient’s skull, Zhou Can could clearly see the state of the brain tissue inside through the endoscope. He carefully navigated the endoscope closer to the largest bleeding point.
This area was very close to the Brainstem, and even Wu Baihe would have to be extremely careful when operating.
“The ruptured vessel is quite sizeable, not too large a tear. What do you think about direct repair? I’m worried that electrocautery may affect the brain’s blood supply, causing complications for the patient.”
Zhou Can asked for Director Wen’s opinion.
Even repairing superficial vessels in the limbs can be highly difficult.
Repairing vessels through an endoscope within the cranial cavity was unimaginably challenging.
“Are you confident? This is extremely close to the life center, the difficulty is great, and the risk is extremely high.”
Director Wen was naturally more inclined to play it safe in his bones.
Every doctor has their own style of practice.
Most doctors share the same view as Director Wen; they aim not for great success but to avoid mistakes.
Direct electrocautery may cause complications, but it doesn’t take big risks and can save the patient’s life.
“Full confidence? Definitely not, but over eighty percent, yes!”
Zhou Can has always been very modest in his speech.
Director Wen knew him too well.
Hearing him say he had more than eighty percent confidence was like taking a reassurance pill for Director Wen.
“Go ahead! Proceed with your plan!” Director Wen authorized directly.
What followed was a demonstration of Zhou Can’s surgical abilities for Director Liu, Doctor Hu, and others, as they thoroughly witnessed it on the endoscopic screen.
Zhou Can located the proximal end of the ruptured vessel and then said to Director Wen, “Using a vascular clip, I’m afraid might damage the vessel. It would also significantly increase the cost of the surgery, is ligation okay for stopping the bleeding?”
“Yes!”
Director Wen nodded again.
Zhou Can’s actions were always with the patient’s interests in mind, which also showed his noble medical ethics.
The doctors present silently admired his medical ethics.
Especially Director Liu and Doctor Hu, who came to understand Zhou Can more profoundly.
Zhou Can quickly tied off the vessel with dexterous movements.
He made a slip knot.
Many surgeons don’t like making slip knots, but in some special surgical situations, square knots, slip knots, and triple throw knots all have their uses.
Each knot requires painstaking practice.
If ‘specializing’ too much, it is easy to face surgical weaknesses at key moments, leading to a very passive situation during surgery.
