481 Limited Hepatectomy (2/2)

The reporter lifted the camera gently.

Huo Congjun frowned and wanted to stop the conflict. 'He's deliberately stirring mud up!'

At this moment, Ling Ran made his decision. ”We'll do it your way, deepen the incision.”

Those people who were waiting to be entertained could not help but put on expressions of disappointment.

If this conflict turned out to be a great quarrel that ended up with the department director of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery punching Ling Ran or the Emergency Medical Center taking over surgeries from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, countless drama will occur!

However, Ling Ran lowered his head and observed the patient's liver. Then, he lifted it up slightly.

”I estimate that surgery time will be extended by 15 minutes.” Ling Ran reminded the anesthetist before he concentrated on removing the liver again.

But this time, Ling Ran removed the liver more carefully.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

The patient today was in his sixties. He was a patient received by the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. He did not have a good lifestyle, and his liver cancer was also caused by recurring hepatitis and cirrhosis.

This resulted in the quality of his liver becoming extraordinarily bad. From Ling Ran's perspective, cutting more of the liver might cause the patient to be unable to leave the surgery alive.

However, He Yuanzheng's experience as the department director in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery forced Ling Ran to consider things seriously.

Just as he said, short-term relapse was a torturous experience for patients with liver cancer. At this phase, many patients who did not have a strong will to survive would give up and will not take an active part in treatment. They will just choose palliative care.

It was truly too painful, and it was just like torture. Not everyone could withstand the pain.

Regardless of looking at it from the point of view of the quality of life or the length of life, reducing the possibility of cancer relapse was what a chief surgeon should do.

Ling Ran flipped the liver carefully and did not do it as boldly and decisively as he had just now.

The patient's liver was not functioning well, and many liver tissues had been removed. Even if the patient could get down from the operating theatre, he could hardly get out from the ICU; even if he could get out of the ICU… This depended on luck, and it had never been part of Ling Ran's considerations.

He did not just have to remove the cancerous tissues, he also had to remove some healthy tissues that had not mutated. But there was a probability that he might end up increasing cancer cells and tissues… With this as a basis, if Ling Ran still wanted to retain a higher level of liver function, then all Ling Ran could do was to remove more useless liver cells.

It was hard to balance.

Since Ling Ran had made the decision, he lowered his head and performed the operation.

For surgeons, it would be better to make a decision fast. Whether or not that decision was the best could only be discussed properly when the patient died.

He Yuanzheng was also quite surprised by Ling Ran's attitude.

In his impression, a celebrity doctor like Ling Ran who became famous while he was still young should have the arrogance and conceitedness of a surgeon, even if he was not wild and untameable. In fact, that arrogance should be rather bad.

Who knew that Ling Ran was willing to accept his suggestion?

This, however, made He Yuanzheng admire him slightly.

When he turned his head around, He Yuanzheng watched Ling Ran's operation even more seriously. As he watched, He Yuanzheng realized that Ling Ran's operation was extremely refined. Although he knew long ago that Ling Ran's operation was already very detail-oriented, if he compared those operations to the current operation, the difference would be as great as the difference between braised tofu and minced tofu.

He Yuanzheng suddenly realized and became very nervous.

No surgeon would be so bored that he would choose to increase the burden in his surgery for unknown reasons.

This was just like how a professional athlete must compete with other professional athletes so that the athlete could obtain his greatest achievements because that meant they would push themselves to perform at their best, and if they could not compete with other professional athletes, they will not perform at their best.

He Yuanzheng believed that Ling Ran would not randomly increase the complexity of the surgery. The only possible reason would be that the possible percentage of liver resection had reached its limit, and he was trying to push at the borders of this limit!

”Let me become Doctor Ling's first assistant.” He Yuanzheng felt excited after watching the surgery for some time.

Surgeons could not always perform surgeries that pushed them to their limits like this. While athletes could join all kinds of high-level competitions to push their limits, surgeons could only wait for that.

Limited hepatectomy was a surgery that even He Yuanzheng might not be able to perform!
