Under everyone's focused gaze, Zhang Lei's hands trembled a little as he slowly pulled out the needle.

A drop of clear liquid flowed out from the end of the needle!

"Cerebral spinal fluid!"

Ding Bo shouted excitedly.

"Haha, success!" Zhang Lei had never felt so happy.

At this point, the stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground.

If the puncture is successful, the anesthesia is basically successful.

Next, Zhang Lei picked up the prepared bupivacaine syringe with a concentration of 0.5% and injected 10 ml into the spinal canal.

"Do you need a tube?" Zhang Lei asked.

Li Zheng shook his head. Bupivacaine anesthesia can last for at least 2 hours, which is enough for even the most complicated appendectomy.

Chen Dayong wanted to scold Zhang Lei, saying that an anesthesia tube is needed for appendectomy surgery. Have you never seen Brother Zheng perform surgery or what?

Zhang Lei pulled out the puncture needle, covered the needle hole with gauze, and the anesthesia was completed.

Standing up, Zhang Lei felt aches all over. This was the most difficult anesthesia he had ever performed alone. In the hospital, if he couldn't handle it himself, he could call the director to perform the anesthesia... Fortunately, Li Zheng was there.

"Brother Zheng, thank you, otherwise this operation would not be possible!" Zhang Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "When conditions improve, look at more lumbar spine CT scans of patients. Once you have a good understanding of the anatomical structure, you will be able to do this more easily!"

Everyone around nodded vigorously. What Li Zheng said must be right. Otherwise, how could he, a surgeon, successfully guide the anesthesiologist?

Chen Dayong now understood the truth of Li Zheng's words: as long as you have a good understanding of anatomy, you can perform any surgery. Now it seems that anesthesia can also be done. Whether it's spinal anesthesia or brachial and cervical plexus block anesthesia for the upper limbs, it really requires a solid foundation in anatomy. If you can't even locate the nerves, how can you perform anesthesia?

Ding Bo, standing aside, said to the hospital's anesthesiologist, "See? This is the standard of a top doctor. With just a few moves, he can solve things you thought were impossible! Even if he's not a professional, he has a broad vision and can see through phenomena to the essence. He sees it clearly!"

Li Zheng was a little amused and confused. Dean Ding was very good at praising people.

The anesthesiologist of our hospital also nodded repeatedly, and looking at Li Zheng's expression, he was full of admiration.

Lin Xiaomei, who was standing by the equipment cart, felt as sweet as honey. The man she loved had an outstanding performance and was praised by everyone, which made her happier than being praised herself.

Li Zheng invited Dean Ding to perform the operation together, but Dean Ding still refused. In principle, he would not participate in the operation with his relatives.

Zhang Lei used a syringe to prick the old man's lower right abdomen to test the effect of anesthesia.

"It's very numb, it doesn't hurt at all!" The old man gave a thumbs up and said in a loud voice, not affected by the anesthetic at all.

Preoperative preparations are complete.

Li Zheng began to make the incision. Considering that there was already perforation, Li Zheng made a 10-centimeter incision.

After opening it, as expected, the appendix and surrounding tissues were covered with yellow-green pus, and an unpleasant smell rushed out.

"Open the door and ventilate." Dean Ding couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Zheng and Chen Dayong were not affected by the smell and continued the operation.

Soon, a perforated, swollen appendix was removed.

Li Zheng put it into the bend and handed it to Lin Xiaomei.

Ding Bo couldn't wait to show it to his family. After putting on gloves, Lin Xiaomei wrapped it in gauze and handed it to him.

Ding Bo left the operating room, walked through the corridor and came out of the operating room.

"Brother Bo, is there anything going on?" Director Ding asked.

The family members were all very nervous, as it had only been a short time since they had been in there.

Ding Bo smiled and said proudly, "It's nothing serious. The appendix has been removed. Let me show you."

After saying that, he opened the gauze.

Everyone gasped when they saw the hideous appendix.

Director Ding's frown finally relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Doctor Li, the operation was done quite quickly!"

Ding Bo chuckled, "Who do you trust more than your brother? Can I just hire anyone? This Doctor Li, I dare say, his skills are top-notch even in a major provincial hospital!"

"Yeah, brother, we believe you, but we don't dare to believe him. After all... he is too young!" The wavy girl laughed awkwardly.

Ding Bo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Second Uncle's surgery will be over soon."

After saying that, Ding Bo returned to the operating room.

Li Zheng and Chen Dayong have cleaned up the pus, rinsed it repeatedly, placed a drainage tube, and closed the abdomen.

Ding Bo smiled and said, "Doctor Li, are there any precautions after the operation?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "The main thing is to make sure the antibiotics are in sufficient dosage and duration, and pay attention to the drainage volume and color of the drainage tube. There's nothing special about the rest. Just treat it as a normal appendectomy."

Ding Bo asked a surgeon at our hospital to keep the key points in mind.

For the next operation, Zhang Lei had already been given anesthesia in another room.

After the wound on this side was bandaged, the anesthesia on the other side was also completed.

Zhang Lei demonstrated the skills of a county-level anesthesiologist and successfully completed the spinal anesthesia.

In fact, he prefers general anesthesia. After all, Li Zheng's appendectomy, if it is complicated, only takes about 20 minutes, and if it is a routine one, it can be completed within ten minutes.

It takes about ten to twenty minutes to give a spinal anesthesia if everything goes well. If it doesn't go well, like the old man just now, if it weren't for Li Zheng's guidance, it might not be successful in half an hour or even an hour, which is a waste of time.

But the patients in the village all want to save money, so there is no choice. Today, all four of them requested spinal anesthesia.

Only by giving anesthesia in advance can we avoid holding Li Zheng back.
