524 Ectopic Implantation (2/2)

Everyone in the room was fascinated.

Yu Yuan laughed so much that she almost could not catch her breath. ”Of course it's stinky. Everyone knows that just by smelling it. We smell something stinky, not taste it.”

”How would a small child know? I have to say, what our noses smell might be different from what we taste. It would be a more direct way to know if we just taste it, just like durian, right?” Zuo Cidian suddenly had a surge of faint nostalgia. Even though he had never liked the town hospital, he did spend his youth there.

Lu Wenbin felt puzzled. ”Even if he ate feces, he didn't have to go to the hospital. Do town hospitals take care of situations like this as well?”

”Oh, the brat was bitten by the dog when he tried to taste its feces.” Zuo Cidian gave a reasonable answer. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Yu Yuan asked in puzzlement, ”Did his family tell him to taste the feces while it's fresh?”

Zuo Cidian was stunned for a moment before he said, ”Most probably. The brat already ate the feces. Who cares if he ate them fresh?”

*Shick.*

The airtight access door was opened, and Chief Physician Wang Haiyang rushed in.

”You're all here?” Wang Haiyang grinned. He had his hands raised up to let the nurse help him wear his surgical gown.

”Injured by firecrackers. Eight-year-old child. Four fingers severed…” Zuo Cidian quickly stepped forward and began to introduce the situation.

Wang Haiyang and Ling Ran operated with a similar approach—both looked at the scans before they looked at the hands.

”I don't think we can fix the index finger.” Wang Haiyang's judgment was similar to Ling Ran's, and his decision was firmer than Ling Ran's.

The brat's homemade firecracker was quite powerful, and it had basically exploded in his hand. So, the injuries to his bones, tendons, and blood vessels were very serious. The index finger was the first to be affected by the blast, so it was injured the most severely.

Ling Ran nodded and said, ”We can try to replant it, but it will be more difficult to achieve excellence.”

If they could not make it reach excellence, then they would have only be considered to have replanted the finger but did nothing to ensure that hand functionality could be retained.

Of course, they would have already been considered to have done quite a good job if they could even be able to replant it.

At the very least, the child will not have strangers staring at his hand.

Wang Haiyang looked at it carefully and said, ”Ling Ran, this injury is enough to meet the standards for ectopic transplantation. Do you want to perform ectopic transplantation for the index finger?”

His suggestion instantly attracted Ling Ran.

Ectopic transplantation on a finger meant that the finger would first be transplanted to other parts of the body, and when the wound healed, it would be re-transplanted to the hand.

Transplants usually only happened nice, but this was a two-time transplant, hence, the final result would definitely not be as good as a one-time transplant.

However, if a finger that had insufficient replantation conditions had the chance for a second replantation in the future, it was good.

Ling Ran quickly thought for a few seconds before he said, ”I don't know how to do that.”

”Huh, you don't know how to do that?” Wang Haiyang felt happy for a moment and looked at Ling Ran. He almost yelled, ”Let me teach you, let me teach you.”

Ling Ran nodded, ”I have never learned ectopic transplantation before.”

His Perfect Level Finger Replantation Skill was limited to finger joints. Ectopic transplantation could be seen as another specialized skill, and it was not only limited to the fingers, but could also be performed on the arms, calves, ears, and so on.

”The doctors of the general Orthopedics Department or the Hand Surgery Department don't learn ectopic transplantation. Now, it's impossible for those private hospitals to engage in this kind of project as well.” Chief Physician Wang Haiyang laughed a couple of times and sad, ”But I know. Why don't we perform ectopic transplantation for this index finger today? I will give you on-the-spot teaching. After a few weeks, let's do the second-stage replantation.”

Being able to teach Ling Ran made Wang Haiyang extremely happy.

This was the secret behind why the Hand Surgery Department of Yun Hua Hospital was the elite department. In other hospitals, ectopic transplantation would have already been used as publicity material to promote the hospital for ten years.

At Yun Hua Hospital, ectopic transplantation of a finger could only be regarded as something basic. They had to do a few cases of ectopic transplantation every year.

Being able to learn new things made Ling Ran feel a little excited.

He then looked at the little patient's index finger and said, ”Inform the patient's family and ask them whether they're willing. We will perform replantation on the other three fingers first. Doctor Zuo, you can go ask them.”

”Noted.” Zuo Cidian immediately agreed. He took off his surgical gown and was about to leave when Wang Haiyang Wang Haiyang called out to Zuo Cidian so that he stopped.

He said, ”You can give them around a 40% discount. Go to your Department Director Huo, he will definitely approve it. Ling Ran, call Department Director Huo. Hospital bills for ectopic transplantation are much more expensive than a replantation. Moreover, during finger implantation, a lot of attention needs to be paid in regard to nursing care as well. But you tell them clearly that the current situation of the index finger of the child that I suggest that they perform an amputation if we don't use ectopic transplantation. The possibility of forcing a replantation and the finger dying is very high. In addition, ectopic transplantation can preserve the finger's shape better.”

Zuo Cidian noted it down. When he went out of the operating theater again, he was no longer as fast as before.

This kind of conversation could be quite difficult.
