"Hey."

A crisp sound.

Like breaking a porcelain cup, the entire gallbladder shattered and collapsed in an instant.

Dark green bile mixed with stones as big as soybeans scattered everywhere.

"This... this is really crispy!" Zhu Haiping exclaimed in surprise.

"I haven't even hit it hard yet, and the entire gallbladder is already too brittle!" Yang Chuan took a breath of cold air. It was too brittle.

"Now I finally understand why it is called a porcelain gallbladder instead of a calcified gallbladder or a petrified gallbladder. It really looks like porcelain and it will break into pieces if you hit it!" Guo Weiqiang exclaimed.

Wang Jiancheng shook his head and sighed, "Li Zheng, I had already thought highly of you for the surgery you just performed, but now... I really can't imagine how difficult that surgery must have been!"

Everyone nodded continuously.

As for this broken gallbladder, if Li Zheng had handled it improperly just now, the whole thing would have shattered.

Li Zheng didn't know how much pressure he would have to bear.

The fact that this kind of gallbladder can be removed intact is beyond the description of simple surgical technique.

This involves many aspects such as hand skills, physical fitness, and psychological state.

If there is any defect in any aspect, the operation cannot be completed.

"Li Zheng, you were really born for medicine! Thank you for bringing such incredible surgery to everyone!" Xiao Zhihua exclaimed.

As an anesthesiologist, he deeply understands the significance of this operation.

For Li Zheng, the county hospital, and even the entire medical community, it is a newly emerging commanding height.

Amidst everyone's praise, Li Zheng took off his surgical gown and prepared to leave.

Wang Jiancheng suddenly said, "Li Zheng, are you free now? I'd like to ask you to perform an operation."

Um?

Guo Weiqiang and Yang Chuan looked at him in confusion.

Guo Weiqiang asked curiously, "Director Wang, we have two appendectomies this morning. Do you need Brother Zheng's help?"

Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "This is the first patient with appendectomy. His appendix is ​​very special. It is an abnormal shape and seriously infected. I have never encountered such a case before. I am afraid that something might go wrong during the operation."

"What? Alien?" Chen Dayong instantly became interested.

Everyone looked at Wang Jiancheng curiously.

Wang Jiancheng nodded and said, "The B-ultrasound shows that the shape of the appendix is ​​very different from the normal one. It doesn't look like a simple appendix mutation, but rather like something has grown."

"But it's too strange that something is growing in the appendix. I've never heard of it before!" said Chen Dayong.

Everyone looked at Li Zheng, wanting to hear some different answers from him.

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that the appendix won't grow anything. Appendiceal carcinoid, adenocarcinoma, and lymphoma can all cause appendiceal malformations, but they are indeed very rare. Generally, they can only be discovered during a pathological examination during an appendectomy."

Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Li Zheng still knows more!

Li Zheng added, "Director Wang is right to be cautious. Don't act rashly when you encounter something you haven't seen before, or else things could go wrong."

Everyone nodded.

Wang Jiancheng was very pleased with Li Zheng's positive comments.

"Has the patient arrived at the operating room? Let's take a look at the examination results first!" Li Zheng said.

"The anesthesia is already being administered, let's go over!" said Guo Weiqiang.

Li Zheng said to Chen Dayong, "Dayong, the appendectomy surgery in our department will be handed over to you and Haiping. You can guide Haiping in performing the operation on the patient with a relatively simple condition."

"Okay, no problem!"

Although Chen Dayong really wanted to see Li Zheng's surgery, he suppressed his curiosity. He had to complete the task assigned by Brother Zheng.

Zhu Haiping had no desire to watch Li Zheng's surgery. His mind was full of the process of the upcoming appendectomy, and he was both excited and nervous.

Li Zheng and his team came to operating room No. 4.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Lei spotted Li Zheng.

"Hey, Brother Zheng, it's been a while since I've seen you perform surgery. Are you here to help Director Wang?" Zhang Lei looked expectant. But he didn't hold out much hope, just curious about why Li Zheng had come.

Wang Jiancheng said calmly, "You guessed right, Li Zheng is here for surgery!"

Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He said, "Really? Director Wang, you're truly a thoughtful, virtuous, and motivated doctor!"

"Go away, stop talking nonsense. Is the anesthesia ready?" Wang Jiancheng said impatiently.

"It's ready. I'm just about to ask the nurse to call you!" Zhang Lei nodded and said excitedly.

Although I don’t know why Li Zheng was called in for an appendectomy surgery, as long as it is Li Zheng’s surgery, it will definitely be different and exciting.

Guo Weiqiang took the medical record folder.

He took out the ultrasound report and handed it to Li Zheng, saying, "A 78-year-old male patient presented with right lower abdominal pain for seven days, which worsened one day before he was admitted to the hospital. The symptoms and signs are typical of appendicitis. The patient and his family have been requesting conservative treatment. Antibiotics have been used for two days, but there has been no significant improvement in the symptoms..."

Li Zheng listened to Guo Weiqiang's report while checking the ultrasound report.

"A high-density image can be seen inside the appendix, measuring approximately 3.1 cm by 1.7 cm, with a sharp end..."

Li Zheng looked at it and felt a little strange.

He had never seen this kind of appendix before.

"This high-density shadow is definitely not a tumor or hyperplastic tissue, nor does it look like a calcification focus, because calcification usually starts from the appendix wall, while this high-density shadow is within the lumen," Li Zheng analyzed.

"You can't recognize what this is?" In Guo Weiqiang's impression, the appendix was no longer a secret to Li Zheng, but this appendix actually stumped Li Zheng.

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "It's very strange! It doesn't conform to any physiological or pathological structure of the appendix."

"this……"

Everyone was a little confused.

If it doesn’t match, then what would it be?

"Don't think too much about it for now. No matter what it is, we'll know after cutting it open and taking a look!" Li Zheng said, handing the ultrasound report to Guo Weiqiang.

Everyone stopped hesitating and took their places.

Li Zheng, Wang Jiancheng and Guo Weiqiang went out to wash their hands.

The instrument nurse was not Lin Xiaomei, but another young nurse who had already started counting the instruments with the circulating nurse.

Soon, the three of them finished washing their hands.

Wang Jiancheng and Guo Weiqiang quickly disinfected the bed sheets.

Li Zheng has already put on his surgical gown and gloves.

Medical gloves of this era are coated with talcum powder to make them easier to wear, so they must be thoroughly rinsed before surgery. Otherwise, the asbestos content in the talcum powder may cause mesothelioma, and talcum powder remaining in the body may also cause chronic inflammation, granulomas, and even adhesions.

Talcum powder has long been eliminated in later generations and replaced by corn starch, which is fine even without rinsing.

After rinsing the talcum powder off his gloves, Li Zheng came to the operating table.

Stretch out your hand.

I waited two seconds but there was no response.

Only then did Li Zheng realize that the instrument nurse was not Lin Xiaomei.

He shook his head, smiled, and said, "Skin cutting knife."

"Um!"

The instrument nurse finally reacted and quickly slapped the knife handle on Li Zheng's hand.

Wang Jiancheng and Guo Weiqiang also quickly dressed and came to the operating table.

Li Zheng made an incision in the right lower abdomen and quickly separated the peritoneum.
