Director Zhang shuddered. He was not supposed to blank out.
Was the surgery done by Professor Rudolf Wagner?
That had to be the only reasonable explanation.
He lifted his head to see the professor applying pressure to stop the bleeding while Chief Zheng casually chatted with Chief Xia in the operating console room.
What…
He approached Zheng Ren and asked with a forced smile, “Chief Zheng, how did you perform the surgery? I didn’t quite understand it. Can you explain it to me please?”
Not that he failed to understand what was going on; he had just missed the entire surgery.
Zheng Ren was unaware of that, but could he elaborate at Director Zhang’s request?
However, the key to the stent removal post TIPS was in the coordination between Professor Rudolf Wagner and himself during the operation. This was something that was not displayed in the films, so it was difficult for him to explain in words.
“There’s nothing much to talk about the surgery. The only notable point is the stent removal technique,” Zheng Ren explained. “Just need to avoid a secondary hemorrhage and injuring the hepatic tissue.”
Zheng Ren spoke as he pointed at the scans.
“…” Director Zhang was at a loss for words.
‘Who doesn’t know about this? You don’t say!’ He thought.
Nonetheless, Director Zhang was also from the same field. He knew that it was not Chief Zheng’s intention to withhold information, but he had no idea how to describe it.
He felt a sense of deep regret. He made an unforgivable mistake blanking out and missing the whole surgery.
Director Zhang gathered himself to focus on the next TIPS surgery.
If he had doubts before, it was safe to say that Zheng Ren had his full attention now. If Zheng Ren was as good as he thought, he would satisfy him with ample surgeries!
Professor Rudolf Wagner on the other hand…
Director Zhang dared not touch him.
How could they afford the world’s top professor? His surgical fee would cost at least 10,000 US dollars per procedure.
If the patients in Secondary Hospital were that rich, they could visit any hospital in the country. Why would they stay behind to die?
After 15 minutes, Professor Rudolf Wagner applied a pressure bandage on the patient and transferred the patient to the gurney with Zheng Ren’s help. The patient was then sent back to the ward by the gastroenterologist.
The patient raised his hand as he left the operating room, saying, “Thank you, Dr. Zheng.”
“You’re welcome,” Zheng Ren smiled.
This was the satisfaction of performing surgeries.
There was nothing more important to ensure that everyone is safe and sound.
After that, the patient with decompensated cirrhosis and refractory ascites was sent into the operating room.
Zheng Ren took her scans and put them up on the film viewer to check them once more before the surgery.
The professor was heavily built; he could transfer the patient easily by himself. Zheng Ren stood still, with his left arm crossed and his cheek resting on his right hand while he studied the scans.
He had spent a lot of time researching with Professor Rudolf Wagner the day before, improving the surgical method that he invented to a great extent.
He was very confident in today’s surgery. This was just a routine inspection.
“Boss, what did you and the professor research?” Su Yun came to Zheng Ren all of a sudden and asked.
“Here, the T2-weighted images with two identical gradient lobes applied on either side of the slice selection gradient for the 180° RF pulse allow us to identify the route of entry,” Zheng Ren said, pointing at the DW-MRI scans with his right hand.
The things he mentioned were so technical, even a clinical physician could not understand him.
Other than those specializing in neurology, not many people could read DW-MRI scans.
Not to mention that Zheng Ren was explaining the concept of the random movement of molecules (the brownian motion) and the effect of spin-echo used in magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted (MRDW) imaging.
Even if it sounded alien to others, Su Yun was still a brilliant scholar.
