Chapter 489 - Worse Comes To Worst, Theres Surgery (1/2)

“Teacher Gao, can I try?” Zheng Ren asked softly beside Gao Shaojie.

The entire operating room was filled with failure and frustration.

No one said a word. It was extremely quiet that even the sound of a heartbeat seemed like it would disappear into nothingness.

Although Zheng Ren’s voice was soft, it was exceptionally ear-piercing in such a quiet place.

Gao Shaojie’s heart tightened. The thing he was most afraid of had finally come.

The guide wire had fallen into the blood vessels. Because its surface was extremely smooth, the chances of it being removed were very small. The vast majority of patients had to partic.i.p.ate in vascular surgery. The chances of success were less than 50%, maybe even less than 10%.

The best way was of course to use the interventional methods to remove the guide wire.

However, the interventional doctors from the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University had all tried. They failed, shame etched on their faces.

Teacher Zheng said he wanted to try… However, he did not have the qualification and practice in this field. To perform a freelance surgery and register it under the medical department was something that only the related surgical department could do.

This kind of matter was neither big nor small. If someone caught him doing the surgery, it would be hard to explain.

The other people in the room looked at Zheng Ren in surprise.

He wanted to try it?

Who was he!

The Medical Service Chief looked at Zheng Ren from the corner of his eyes with dissatisfaction. After that, he looked at Gao Shaojie and said, “Chief Gao, this is…”

“Chief Lin, this is Teacher Zheng whom I invited to do TIPS surgery.” Gao Shaojie was a little embarra.s.sed and quickly explained the situation to him.

“Hmph!” Chief Lin snorted coldly.

“Teacher Gao, this… Can he really do TIPS surgery?” Chief Chen asked in surprise.

Because vascular surgery was both a surgical operation and an interventional surgery, they were more familiar with the surgical methods of interventional surgery.

That was why Chief Chen was surprised.

Gao Shaojie was usually very steady and did not have the reckless behavior of a newbie professor. However, it was precisely because of this that he was even more surprised.

Everyone here knew exactly how difficult TIPS surgery was.

No matter what, Gao Shaojie was a medical doctor from Columbia University Medical Center.

If he invited a professor from Columbia University Medical Center to perform TIPS surgery and called him a teacher, everyone would agree.

If he invited a professor from Imperial City or Shanghai to perform TIPS surgery, it would be reasonable.

However, why did he invite such a young man to perform the surgery and was even calling him a teacher…

Was it not embarra.s.sing!

Gao Shaojie felt like he was sitting on pins and needles under everyone’s gazes.

Hearing Chief Chen’s question, Gao Shaojie sighed in his heart. However, he still said out loud, “You guys misunderstood me. I didn’t invite Teacher Zheng to perform the surgery.”

Chief Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It seems like he had heard wrongly.

No wonder.

“I asked Teacher Zheng to teach me how to perform TIPS surgery,” Gao Shaojie faced all their gazes calmly and said this in such a serious manner.

Chief Chen, Chief Lin, and everyone else in the room was inexplicably surprised. They stared at Gao Shaojie in shock, thinking that they had misheard.

Gao Shaojie was a little uncomfortable in the face of countless astonished gazes but quickly calmed down.

Since Zheng Ren had stood up and spoken, he had to stand on Zheng Ren’s side unconditionally. This was something that could not be shaken.

“This… You said you’re Teacher Zheng, right? You’re saying that you want to try?” Department Chief Chen really did not want to go on stage.

The failure rate of cutting open the guide wire was simply too high. Moreover, it required even more luck than TIPS surgery.

From the moment the operation was performed, one had to pray that the guide wire would not flow into the blood vessels.

Once it flowed out, he had to change the incision position. However, that meant praying that the blood would not flow, so did it not seem like a joke? He could only hope that the guide wire would be stuck on a branch of the blood vessel and would not move for the time being.

Once the guide wire moved, he would have to change the incision.

However… It would not be to the extent of cutting wounds all over the patient’s body.

The surgery was extremely difficult. Even Chief Chen was not confident. There was not even one-tenth a chance of success.

“We can give it a try.” Zheng Ren did not pay attention to what the people around him were doing or saying. Instead, he looked at what was being displayed on the screen, engrossed in his own thoughts.

“It’s already like this and we still need a few more minutes?” Su Yun stood beside Zheng Ren and said, “To be able to push the guide wire and contrast agent into the aorta during the interventional surgery is already considered a miracle. Are you guys still willing to operate?

“Once the guide wire enters the aorta, no one knows what will happen next.”

What Su Yun said made sense. It was simple, direct, and even a little cra.s.s.
