My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 292 - 148: The Female Patient Who Suffered from Domestic Abuse, The First Endoscopic Surgery_3
The entire surgical procedure was straightforward and direct.
Endoscopic surgery is a true test of a doctor’s operative skills.
"Endoscopic surgery... is not our strong suit, and the patient is suffering from subdural bleeding. The difficulty of the surgery is extremely high, could it be..." Tang Li trailed off, hesitant to continue.
Not just her, even Dr. Zou looked deeply concerned, his face full of worry.
"We have no choice if we’re not skilled at it! If it comes down to it, we’ll have to ask Director Zhang from the obstetrics department for help. Among our hospital’s senior doctors, she is the best at minimally invasive procedures."
Director Wen had already thought of a backup plan.
Asking for help from other departments is common practice when dealing with critical or complicated cases.
This time they drilled directly into the patient’s skull, opened a bone flap, and created a 1cm hole. Then they made a cruciate incision in the dura mater.
Throughout the process, Director Wen was extremely cautious.
Even as the patient’s vital signs continued to drop, he dared not stop.
At this moment, every second was critical to save the patient’s life.
Fortunately, his extensive surgical experience allowed him to locate the hematoma accurately based on the CT images.
The next step was the most crucial operation.
They needed to insert a 6–8mm diameter endoscope into the center of the intracerebral hematoma.
This required highly skilled manipulation from the leading surgeon.
Because the brain is full of vital tissues, any mistake could lead to severe consequences.
Director Wen carefully maneuvered the endoscope, exploring inwardly.
It was when entering the center of the hematoma that he encountered difficulty.
The nearby Brainstem region exerted immense psychological pressure on him.
Sweat continuously beaded on his forehead, and a nurse helped him to wipe it away.
But Director Wen’s hands trembled uncontrollably.
At this critical moment, every second of delay significantly increased the patient’s risk of death.
The greater the pressure on Director Wen.
Not only for him, the leading surgeon, but also for Tang Li, Dr. Zou, and several Resident Doctors beside him, all held their breath, not daring even to exhale loudly.
"Director Wen, may I have a try? I believe I have more than an 80% chance of success."
Zhou Can did not choose to just watch at this moment.
He volunteered actively.
Although to outsiders, such behavior might seem arrogant and disrespectful.
"Are you sure you have an 80% chance?"
Director Wen stopped operating and turned to look at him.
"Yes!"
Zhou Can’s gaze was firm, filled with confidence, and extremely composed.
"Alright, then have a try!"
Director Wen also knew that Zhou Can had an exceptionally high level of skill in minimally invasive procedures. Under these circumstances, he decided to take a risk and let him have a try.
He himself stood by anxiously, ready to intervene at any moment.
Zhou Can took over the endoscope control stick, made a slight adjustment to the angle, and then steered the endoscope deeper.
The entire operation was very stable.
And extremely precise.
His long-term practice with implantation techniques was very helpful.
"We’ve made it! We’ve reached the hematoma area, shall we start aspirating the blood?"
Zhou Can asked.
As soon as his words fell, the doctors and nurses in the operating room all heaved a sigh of relief. Joyful smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
They had finally overcome the most challenging part.
"Aspirate it!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Director Wen was probably the most excited person there.
He looked at Zhou Can as if he were a precious gem.
Zhou Can operated the endoscope’s tube to perform the aspiration. The collected blood within the cranial cavity was extracted.
After the intracranial pressure was reduced, the patient’s vital signs quickly improved.
"It’s increasing, it’s increasing! All the patient’s vital signs are on the rise. This is great!"
The anesthesiologist was the happiest of all.
Promptly announcing this excellent news.
