Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: A New Intraoperative Idea
(Responsibility LH, Lotus in Rain, Wind on Cloud, Invisible Banana, Road Moon Encouragement)
"We managed to rescue the patient, 36 seconds of rescue time, very impressive."
Seeing the patient’s vital signs return to normal, Xiao Zhaoqiu let out a sigh of relief.
This is precisely because the emergency plan was thoroughly prepared, and Liu Banxia acted quickly; otherwise, the rescue time wouldn’t have been so short.
When Liu Banxia was extracting the parasite, no rescue actions could be performed on the patient. Whether it’s CPR or medication, none would work.
Because any external intervention could cause the patient’s body to shake, making the parasite harder to capture.
The second cyst went through with thrilling ease.
And the onlookers were still in awe of Liu Banxia’s rapid responses.
Too fast indeed, not just fast but also extremely accurate, truly escorting Xiao Zhaoqiu through the crisis.
"Director Xiao, should we continue with this method for the next cyst?" Liu Banxia asked.
Xiao Zhaoqiu nodded, "This method is very safe, but if the cyst bursts on its own, we have no recourse."
"Take two minutes of rest, calm down a bit, as we don’t know the condition of the third cyst yet. Besides, your upcoming task is very challenging, as you have four more to tackle."
Liu Banxia nodded, feeling somewhat tense inside.
Upon hearing Xiao Zhaoqiu’s words, people remembered that Liu Banxia’s real work hadn’t even begun yet.
Only three in the brain, but he needed to resolve four. How many acute allergic reactions can the patient’s body withstand? Maybe two, maybe one, maybe none at all.
When the cyst fluid first touched the brain tissue, the patient’s heart stopped instantly, leaving no reaction time at all. Such allergy reactions are extremely rapid, and the damage to the body is severe.
As for Liu Banxia? Despite the tension, he kept his mind steady.
Just like when clamping the echinococcus, normally his heart would grow more anxious the longer he waited. But in this instance, the longer he waited, the calmer he became.
He felt fortunate that the timely use of his solidified skills was crucial this time.
Though nervous, he did not expend much energy, unlike previous rescues where tension drained over half his strength.
After two minutes, Xiao Zhaoqiu got to work again.
This time, they were lucky, extracting the third cyst without any danger.
The observers began to applaud; Xiao Zhaoqiu’s task was successfully completed despite minor hitches.
"Thanks to Banxia, without him, today would have been truly dangerous," Xiao Zhaoqiu said.
"I can only do this type of work. Didn’t damage the brain tissue just now, did it?" Liu Banxia asked.
Xiao Zhaoqiu nodded, "The operation was very good, no damage at all."
"Director Xiao, any advice for my procedure?" Liu Banxia asked.
"None, no advice, just be careful," Xiao Zhaoqiu said.
"The patient came in time, some of these cysts were about to rupture. If we’d waited longer, we might not even have had a chance to rescue."
Liu Banxia shook his neck, "Xu Yino, Liu Yiqing, get ready. Excuse everyone, it’s my turn now."
"Keep steady, don’t rush," Zhou Shuwen activated the speech button, advising.
"Alright, I’d rather slow down," Liu Banxia said.
The observers exited the room in an orderly fashion, genuinely curious to see Liu Banxia’s operation. But the patient didn’t consent to a teaching surgery, so it can’t be done stealthily against the patient’s wishes.
"Director Xiao, it’s done," Zhang Xiao reported.
Xiao Zhaoqiu glanced and nodded before leading the neurosurgery team out.
"I’m really a person of hard fate," Liu Banxia lamented.
"Teacher Liu, keep it up; you can definitely do it," Xu Yino encouraged.
"Brother Wang, whether positioning is accurate or errors occur all depends on your skills in intraoperative ultrasound," Liu Banxia looked at Wang Jianwei.
"Don’t burden me with so much pressure, but this intraoperative ultrasound is quite different from normal, it’ll be affected to some extent," Wang Jianwei said.
"Truly, the difficulty of this is far greater than tumor resection, so let’s separate slowly," Liu Banxia said.
After witnessing the previous situation, everyone realized that seemingly ordinary surgeries contained immense risks.
There’s no need to mention Liu Banxia, who’s responsible for the operation; even Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing beside him were extremely tense. In contrast, Liu Banxia appeared the most relaxed, his eyebrows unfurled smoothly.
He meticulously navigated the delicate task, with each of the four cysts akin to a bomb. As for how many allergic reactions the patient can endure, it’s unknown.
Even if he wants to operate slowly, his slow is fast for others.
"I have a new idea." Liu Banxia spoke.
"Teacher Liu, you must be cautious. We can’t be impulsive today." Xu Yino quickly said.
Liu Banxia gave her a helpless look. "My idea is to isolate all four cysts at once and then extract each one with saline."
"I’m considering that if one of them really ruptures on its own, can we take advantage of that time to remove the remaining ones using a slightly aggressive method?"
"This could save us some time and significantly reduce the patient’s risk. What do you two think?"
"Hmm... I think it’s still good. But there will be challenges; if the cyst ruptures, we’ll have to add flushing time." Liu Yiqing said.
"That’s true; otherwise, if there’s residual cyst fluid, even with emergency treatment, there will still be an allergic reaction." Xu Yino said.
"Then it’s decided happily. I’ll proceed to isolate the next one, but you need to be careful with the remaining three to avoid exerting pressure and influence on other cysts during isolation." Liu Banxia said.
He then began working on the second cyst.
Wang Jianwei and Wang Lei exchanged glances, only Liu Banxia could execute such a daring idea.
It’s because this operation is too risky. Most of the cysts isolated might rupture due to uneven pressure when isolating other tissues.
However, according to Liu Banxia’s plan, it is indeed the most suitable method now.
Since no one knows the patient’s allergy tolerance threshold, it might be only one chance, or perhaps not even one chance.
As the chief surgeon, no matter how many chances are left, it must be treated like there’s only one chance to avoid severe allergic reactions in the patient again, but this places a significant responsibility on the surgeon.
Because the normal sequence is to remove one after another, not like Liu Banxia’s current operation of isolating and then handling them all at once.
The demands on the chief surgeon’s operational skills are extremely high, and it is not easy to manage.
All eyes were now on the monitor, watching each of Liu Banxia’s operations, always with slight pauses.
This situation is well understood by everyone, knowing that slowing down is to avoid mistakes. Ensuring each operation is accurate prevents excessive tension in isolated tissues and uneven pressure on the cysts.
"Actually, if the patient’s cysts were more dispersed, we wouldn’t be so troubled." Liu Banxia said.
"It’s fine. Speak as needed. I’m doing routine operations now, and speaking won’t distract me. Otherwise, too much silence in the operating room puts a lot of pressure on me."
"Teacher Liu, you should maintain high focus and avoid distraction." Xu Yino reminded.
"Distracted? All my attention is on this. Honestly, whatever I say now is just mindlessly rattling off, no real thought involved." Liu Banxia said.
"Teacher Liu, when we have our new home sorted out, can you gift us something big?" Liu Yiqing tentatively asked.
"Alright, I’ll give you a refrigerator." Liu Banxia said.
"Wow, that really was just mindless rattling off." Xu Yino joyfully said.
"Mindless or not, it still marks your coming of age, and next comes considering marrying off daughters." Liu Banxia said.
Xu Yino was dumbfounded, realizing she had fallen for a trick again.
The cunning demon still manages to trick others even during such moments.
"OK, the second one is done, moving on to the third." Liu Banxia cheerfully said.
Xu Yino was shocked. She had just been distracted for a moment, and he already isolated another one?
"Your speed is truly something." Wang Lei said.
"The aim is to use the fewest incisions to isolate the lesion, not about speed but minimizing cuts." Liu Banxia said.
"For this isolation, our task is simple: reveal the maximum radius of the cyst and then appropriately stretch the surrounding tissues, leaving space for saline flushing."
"If it were a tumor, I could use even fewer incisions. But now, going too deep puts pressure on the cysts, especially the one being isolated. Haven’t you noticed the cyst wall looks somewhat translucent under the light?"
The operating room staff were startled by his words.
Indeed, does that mean this cyst could easily rupture?
Everyone’s heart tightened.
"So our saline flush will take time to avoid stimulating the echinococcus inside the cyst too much. Be prepared for a long haul. I thought I’d eat soon." Liu Banxia added.
Everyone felt a bit speechless but greatly admired Liu Banxia’s strong mentality.
There was some tension before the surgery, now he’s calmly at ease.
