Chapter 1070 (1/2)

The patient was anesthetized, and Guo Xiang began to open her abdomen to prepare for a new kidney transplant.

Most people may not know that the kidney replacement operation does not replace the sick kidney, but directly put the new kidney into the iliac fossa of the patient, anastomose the blood vessels of the donor kidney with the iliac vessels of the recipient, and then anastomose the donor kidney ureter with the bladder wall of the recipient.

Indeed, it should be ”Kidney plus” surgery.

Why not remove the diseased kidney?

It is mainly to reduce the trauma surface, reduce the risk of infection and minimize the vitality damage of patients. Conducive to later recovery.

Secondly, the residual kidney without resection can still enable the patient to maintain a certain amount of renal function and endocrine function, and resection will lose this part of function.

Excision of diseased kidney will increase the risk and complications of operation. The operation itself is not very necessary. Of course, if necessary, we should weigh the advantages and disadvantages.

For example, for patients with renal cysts, because the cysts are too large and occupy the iliac fossa, they cannot place a new kidney, so they must deal with the cysts. Since they are traumatized, it is better to simply remove them.

In addition, those with severe kidney stones and renal cancer without metastasis should also be removed.

If you unfortunately need a third transplant, you have to remove a kidney. If you don't remove it, there will be no place to install a new kidney.

There are places to put kidneys. There are four kidneys in a person at the same time.

Now the patient has one kidney, so she has three kidneys in her body.

”Now we're going to sew the blood vessels of the kidney and the blood vessels of the receptor together.” ”Before suturing, clamp the recipient's blood vessels to prevent blood from flowing out,” Guo Xiang said

Xu Wei nodded and did what Guo Xiang said.

Then Guo Xiang began to suture blood vessels, first veins. Guo Xiang pulled the suture with a scalpel and skillfully sutured the very thin veins together.

Then there is the suture of aorta, which is somewhat different from the suture of vein. Guo Xiang used a special tool to open a hole in the aorta, and then connected the artery of the kidney to the aorta.

The arteries and veins were sutured, and the kidney, which had turned blue and blue due to ischemia, slowly turned red and pink.

After more than two hours, the kidney transplantation was completed.

Guo Xiang took a look. The patient's vital signs were basically stable and relieved.

Out of the operating room, the patient's husband and her other two sons hurried around.

”How's it going, doctor?”

”The operation was very successful!” Guo Xiang smiles.

”Thank you, thank you so much!” The patient's husband shook Guo Xiang's hand excitedly. Guo Xiang smiled, ”I'll tell you the precautions after operation...”

It was more than six o'clock when I got home. As soon as I got off the bus, I saw Gu Zhennan waiting for himself at the entrance of the alley and hurried over.

”It's so late today?” Gu Zhennan took her hand.

”Well, there's a kidney transplant operation. The kidney is removed first and then transplanted. If it's done continuously, it's too late!” Guo Xiang said, ”in fact, you don't have to wait for me. I can go back by myself.”

”That won't work. What if something happens again?” Gu Zhennan shook his head.

”The matter of Fu Peiwen is over. No one should deal with me anymore?” Guo Xiang said.

”Just in case!” Gu Zhennan shook his head and Guo Xiang smiled. He knew he was worried about himself. ”I'll try to come back as soon as possible in the future.”

When I got home, Ping An was already sitting at the dinner table, but I haven't started eating yet. Maybe my parents didn't come back, and they didn't dare to eat first.

”When I come back late, you can eat first. Don't wait for me!” Guo Xiang said.
