Yuezhou Hospital has already built a new operating room in accordance with international standards, with all the necessary equipment, just in preparation for this day.
Because there were so many doctors watching the teaching operation on site, the Ministry of Health specially transferred a set of the most advanced live broadcast equipment from Shanghai TV Station.
After all, not everyone can enter the operating room, so most doctors can only sit in the conference room and watch the broadcast on TV.
The clarity of television these days is really speechless. Chen Xia very considerately turned on the microphone and prepared to ask Professors Christie Boots and Russell Clyde to give lectures according to their daily teaching.
The first teaching operation was a liver transplant, performed by Xie Liping and Gao Li from Yuezhou Hospital.
Originally, Chen Xia thought that the most suitable surgeons should be Xie Liping and Li Yanhua, but...
May the God of free America bless him...
Whether the operation had started or not, the experts who were watching the operation had already changed into surgical gowns, completed hand disinfection, and were all waiting quietly by the side.
These experts include surgical specialists from top hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic, Toronto General Hospital, University of Tokyo Medical Hospital, Singapore General Hospital, Wellington Hospital, etc.
The expert from China was Professor Wu Mengchao, who first proposed the new concept of "five lobes and four segments" of Chinese liver anatomy, pioneered the intermittent portal vein occlusion liver resection method at room temperature in China, took the lead in breaking through the surgical taboo of the middle lobe of the human liver, and established a complete early diagnosis and treatment system for cavernous hemangioma and small hepatocellular carcinoma of the liver.
Professor Wu, a leading figure, is absolutely world-class in the treatment of liver diseases and is no worse than experts in Europe and the United States.
But today's teaching surgery is liver transplantation, which was not carried out in China in the 1980s. It is a brand new topic, which is why Professor Wu came here specially.
But what everyone was quite puzzled about was how a pretty young girl could be found in the crowd. She stood out among the group of old men.
The little girl's eyes revealed calmness. Only when Professor Wu whispered a few words to her in person would she lean forward and listen to what the teacher said.
"Third brother, why don't you move forward a little? How can you see clearly if you stand so far back?
Chen Xia was a hepatobiliary surgeon in his previous life. Although he was not able to perform such advanced surgery as liver transplantation, he was familiar with the basic steps and principles.
What's more, he is the executive vice president of this hospital, so it is reasonable for him to go into the operating room and personally supervise the hospital staff in performing this teaching operation.
"Brother, there are so many professors watching. Keep quiet in the operating room. Don't speak."
Yes, this little girl is Chen Qiu, now a junior student at the Second Military Medical University in Shanghai. Chen Xia used a lot of connections to get her admitted as a student of Professor Wu Mengchao.
Fortunately, Professor Wu was still teaching undergraduates in the 1980s. If it had been a few years later, I'm afraid only doctoral students would have been qualified to follow this big man.
Professor Wu initially didn't want to take on undergraduate students; he could teach, but not be considered a formal apprentice. But later, Chen Qiu's hard work and humble willingness to learn moved him.
And you have to know that hepatobiliary surgery is almost always a man's world. Professor Wu rarely meets a talented girl, and he wants to do his best to cultivate her, at least to balance the yin and yang of surgeons.
Chen Xia curled his lips. This Chen Laosan had been precocious and opinionated since childhood, and he couldn't argue with him, so he turned to greet Professor Wu Mengchao.
"Professor Wu, long time no see, hehe."
"Headmaster Chen, I can't believe that my country's first liver transplant was performed by your Yuezhou Hospital. Furthermore, you're so brave as to let a young doctor perform the surgery. I want to learn from you in this regard. Is there any chance for us to collaborate?"
Chen Xia's eyes rolled. Cooperation? Opportunity? Hehe, I'm just afraid you, old man, won't take the bait.
"Okay, let's watch the surgery first, and then we'll talk in detail after the surgery."
At this time, the preoperative preparations had been completed. This was a living partial liver transplant, and the operation was performed on a mother and child.
The son was on the verge of liver failure due to cirrhosis. In order to save her son, the mother took the initiative to propose a liver transplant between relatives. It just so happened that the father was also a wealthy man in Yuezhou and had plenty of money, so the first living liver transplant in Chinese history began.
After the preoperative preparations were completed, two operations were performed simultaneously. First, Gao Li performed the surgery to extract part of the liver from the mother.
Then Xie Liping performed the surgery and transplanted the liver to his son.
It sounds simple, but to be honest, even Russell Clyde has only performed a few cases of this type of living donor liver transplantation. Before, he mainly performed allogeneic liver transplantation.
If Chen Xia had not repeatedly assured him that he had prepared immunosuppressants that could effectively prevent rejection reactions, he would not have been willing to risk his career and come to China to guide such an operation.
Chen Xia was the on-site commander of the operation. He first asked Gao Li, "Are you ready?"
Gao Li was a little nervous, especially since he was surrounded by a group of bigwigs who were at the same level as the ancestors, it would be strange if his heart didn't beat faster.
But when he saw Chen Xia's determined eyes and nodded slightly at him, Gao Li clenched his teeth. Wasn't all these years of struggle just for this day? He thought to himself that he couldn't bring shame to the hospital or to Mr. Chen.
So he took a deep breath and replied in the same firm voice: "I'm ready."
"Okay, let's get started."
The surgical instruments were provided by Pfizer and were among the most advanced of the era. Professor Russell Clyde personally served as the first assistant and interpreter, and Director of the First Department of Surgery, Qiu Fangjue, served as the second assistant.
This was an operation in which the senior doctors were simply supporting the younger doctors, but Qiu Fangjue was willing to do it.
For surgeons, thirties and forties are the golden age. An old man like him who is almost 60 is actually not suitable for front-line surgical work. His physical strength does not allow it, his brain does not allow it, and his trembling hands do not allow it.
Not everyone is like Professor Wu Mengchao, who can still perform surgery normally at over 80 years old.
All the old doctors in Yuezhou Hospital understand that Vice President Chen has been working tirelessly to upgrade the hospital. So, why shouldn't they, the old doctors, make use of their remaining energy to make a final contribution to the hospital?
In the operating room, experts from various countries gathered in unison in front of the operating table.
This living donor liver transplant operation is not only the first in China, but also the third in the world. Only two transplants had been performed at Mayo before.
Both cases were not very successful. The patient died 2 days after the first operation.
The second case was slightly better, but the patient only survived for one month and eventually died of rejection.
So everyone understands the importance of this operation, because the new generation of immune preparations invented by Pumpkin Vine Company will be on the scene.
Everyone is looking forward to whether a miracle can be created and whether all liver transplant patients can survive.
