Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 948 Preparing for Surgery

In the morning, after Chen Yang washed up, Wen Manlu had already prepared a simple breakfast.

"Today's surgery will take a long time, so drink less soup..."

Wen Manlu put Hanhan in the child seat and said to Chen Yang with a smile.

"I have prepared diapers." Chen Yang said with a smile. As he spoke, he had already served himself a bowl of soup.

"This surgery will indeed take a long time, so I must replenish my energy."

"Diapers, does daddy wear diapers too?"

Hearing this, Hanhan said curiously: "Hanhan doesn't even wear diapers anymore, Daddy is embarrassed."

This made Chen Yang and Wen Manlu laugh.

"I've prepared some chocolate and some other energy-boosting things for you. Take them with you and eat some when you get a chance."

Before leaving, Wen Manlu gave Chen Yang some instructions.

The duration of this operation is conservatively estimated to be around ten hours. It is a very long operation, and Chen Yang's part in the operation is also quite critical.

"Ah."

Chen Yang hugged Wen Manlu, then picked up Hanhan and kissed her on the face before leaving.

Because of the surgery, Chen Yang went out early, and it was not yet seven o'clock. After Chen Yang left, Wen Manlu sent Hanhan to kindergarten.

When Chen Yang arrived at the hospital, he first took a look around the operating area, and then went to Lin Xiaoyu's ward.

In addition to Su Qing, whom I met last time, there was also a young man in his thirties in the ward. When he saw Chen Yang come in, the young man hurriedly stood up.

"Dr. Chen."

"Doctor Chen, this is my wife, Lin Zhenxing." Su Qing introduced to Chen Yang.

"Hello." Chen Yang and Lin Zhenxing shook hands.

Lin Zhenxing smiled and said, "I've heard of you, Doctor Chen, for a long time, but I never had the chance to meet you. Thank you so much, Doctor Chen, this time."

"You're welcome."

Chen Yang smiled, sat down beside the bed, and while checking Lin Xiaoyu's pulse, he asked, "How have you been these past two days?"

"After taking the medicine the day before yesterday, I urinated twice at night and three times yesterday. From the day before yesterday until now, there has been no recurrence." Su Qing said to Chen Yang.

"Well, judging from the pulse and symptoms, the cold and dampness have been eliminated, but the abdominal distension has not subsided and the pulse is stringy and slippery, which means it is still caused by dampness..."

As he spoke, Chen Yang changed the prescription and switched to a small dose of Wen's Bentun Decoction to continue the treatment.

After writing the prescription, Chen Yang stood up and said goodbye. Lin Zhenxing accompanied Chen Yang to the door of the ward.

"Doctor Chen, will you perform surgery on Wilson today?" Lin Zhenxing asked.

"Yes, the surgery is at nine o'clock. I will go to the operating room now." Chen Yang said.

"Dr. Chen is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, both internal and external medicine. He is amazing."

Lin Zhenxing smiled and said, "I wish Dr. Chen a successful operation."

"Thank you."

After the pleasantries, Chen Yang arrived at the operating area. The operating area was already prepared and the doctors who would be involved in the operation had also arrived.

This operation is difficult, time-consuming, and requires a clear division of labor, so Kyoto Hospital also attaches great importance to it.

The operation has not yet started, but the device screen shows the experts involved in the operation and their clear division of labor.

Chief surgeon: Dr. Borg, who was responsible for overall control of the operation, major decisions, major resection steps, and management of the hepatic artery and bile duct.

First assistant: Dr. Chen Yang, core responsibilities: fine mobilization of the PV-L segment, "skeletonization" operation, resection of the left main branch of the portal vein and end-to-end anastomosis (Plan A) or assisting David in vascular transplantation (Plan B). Also responsible for decision-making support for key steps.

Second assistant: Zhong Dongyang, responsible for exposure of the surgical field (retractor management), assisting in controlling bleeding, bile duct reconstruction (forming or anastomosis), and abdominal closure.

Third Assistant: A senior physician from Mayo Clinic who assists with exposure, suction, hemostasis, and tissue retraction.

Instrument nurse: Emily Ross from Mayo Clinic. Responsible for the accurate and rapid delivery of all delicate instruments (micro instruments, vascular instruments) and sutures (especially vascular sutures), familiar with the surgical steps, and anticipating the needs of the surgeon.

Extracorporeal circulation team (2): led by Dr. David + 1 perfusionist, responsible for the standby of ECMO equipment and emergency establishment and operation.

Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Shanzhou Medical University.

Today, the hepatobiliary surgery department postponed all surgeries and the original surgeries were postponed. The equipment in the demonstration room was also being debugged.

"Director Gao, it has been debugged and connected to the equipment of Kyoto Hospital." The debugger said to Gao Tiancheng.

"it is good."

Gao Tiancheng nodded and looked at everyone in the demonstration room.

Chen Xingwu, Ye Fangwen, Yan Kaiping and others were already sitting in the demonstration room.

There was tea, snacks, fruits and other things in front of me.

"Doctor Chen is performing surgery. Isn't it inappropriate for us to enjoy ourselves like this?" Ye Fangwen said half-jokingly.

"It's really not good. Let's remove all these things. It's too comfortable. It doesn't feel like studying, but more like eating melons." Gao Tiancheng nodded.

"Director Gao, I was wrong." Ye Fangwen begged for mercy quickly.

"You are here to learn, not to enjoy. After today's operation, each of you must give me a 5,000-word review." Gao Tiancheng said.

"..." Everyone.

"Director Gao, please don't."

"Director Gao, don't be Zi-chan!"

"Director Gao, you are......"

A group of doctors wailed.

Originally everyone was very interested in drinking tea, eating snacks, eating fruits, and watching Chen Yang perform the surgery. It was so wonderful.

But Director Gao asked everyone to write a review after watching the movie. Isn’t this a life-threatening thing?

It really ruins the mood. Everyone was enjoying their meal, but Director Gao had to poop in front of everyone?

"If anyone doesn't want to write, they can go out and get busy now. There is still a lot of work to do in the department." Gao Tiancheng said.

"Write......"

Everyone gritted their teeth.

They must watch Dr. Chen's surgery, especially since it is such a high-end surgery.

The difficulty of this operation in hepatobiliary surgery can be said to be the Mount Everest of hepatobiliary surgery. It is no exaggeration to say that the operation performed by Chen Yang and others today is like climbing Mount Everest.

At the same time, the hepatobiliary surgery departments of many hospitals across the country, including Kyoto Union Hospital and Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital, are also debugging equipment and preparing to watch the operation.

In the demonstration room of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of Kyoto Hospital, there were also quite a few people sitting there. When Xun Jiahong walked into the demonstration room holding a cup of tea, it was already crowded.

"Director Xun?"

Someone saw Xun Jiahong and said with a smile: "Why is Director Xun here to see a hepatobiliary surgery operation? Is Director Xun also planning to study surgery?"

"I don't have the talent that Chen Yang has. I just came here to watch the fun."

Xun Jiahong said: "Not everyone can learn to be a non-human like Chen Yang."

"I agree with what Director Xun said. Doctor Chen is indeed not human."

Someone smiled and said, "Doctor Chen is a god, the Yang God."
