The old man was right about this. Lin Sanqi borrowed a most advanced thoracoscopy machine from Senior Brother Cai Yang.
He originally wanted to buy a machine himself, but after inquiring, he found out that the cheapest machine cost 2 million yuan, and the more expensive imported ones started at 5 million yuan.
If Lin Sanqi was planning to perform long-term laparoscopic surgery in 1961, he would have bought the machine.
But if it is just for one operation, the cost-effectiveness of buying it is too low. Fortunately, the thoracic surgery department was able to borrow one temporarily.
As for the operating room, Lin Sanqi has already made an agreement with Director Tu of Union Hospital to borrow the operating room from Union Hospital.
In addition, all the anesthesiologists and nurses are borrowed from the Union Hospital. However, they are currently lacking an assistant to assist with the endoscope.
Laparoscopic surgery cannot be completed by one person. The surgeon needs the cooperation of an assistant. And as mentioned earlier, the assistant holding the mirror must have a steady hand, otherwise the image will be unbearable to see.
Lin Sanqi thought for a moment and called Bi Xinglong and Yang Guang over.
Bi Xinglong represents the Peking Union Medical College Hospital Department, and Yang Guang represents the Digital Hospital Department. Both of them are leaders in the two hospitals.
"Dean Lin, you called us?"
"Hey, Lao Bi, Lao Yang, you're here. I need to perform a new operation and need an assistant. I have no doubt about your medical skills, but I have a special request:
The assistant's hands must be steady, absolutely without any shaking, not even the slightest. So I'd like to ask you to do a little experiment to see who best meets my requirements."
Bi Xinglong and Yang Guang's eyes lit up when they heard this:
"Dean Lin, is this a new technique?"
Lin Sanqi nodded. "Yes, there are new techniques and new machines, but these are all kept secret. Come on, stand still, and we'll begin the experiment."
Lin Sanqi took out his mobile phone and opened the Douyin app.
This app has a very interesting little feature:
That is, the tester stands upright, then raises one hand forward with a scalpel in the hand, also in a vertical direction.
Then turn on the phone and start the special video shooting function. The picture will be scanned from top to bottom. As long as any part of the human body shakes slightly, the picture will appear blurred.
If it was the "Hand of Kato Toru", the picture would be completely unbearable to watch, as if it were pixelated.
Once this small program was launched, it aroused great interest among surgeons, and everyone began to challenge their own hand stability.
When those skilled surgeons scanned the scalpels in their hands, they were intact, without any double images.
For most surgeons, the scalpel will either appear as a double image in the scan, or in severe cases, it will be blurred. This means that the hand is shaking, or shaking severely.
Lin Sanqi just wanted to use this small function of the APP to test whether Bi Xinglong and Yang Guang's hands were steady and whether they could meet his requirements.
Bi Xinglong came first. He stood up straight as required, stretched out his right hand, and held the scalpel motionlessly. The naked eye could not see whether his hand was shaking.
Lin Sanqi took out his cell phone and started filming him, while Yang Guang watched in curiosity.
When the shooting was completed and the effect was presented, the scalpel had indeed become blurred and Bi Xinglong was passed.
Bi Xinglong also ran over to take a look, still unconvinced: "No, no, Dean Lin, I was a little nervous just now, let me try again."
Lin Sanqi chuckled and said, "Okay, let's give it a try. Come on, stand still, and let's take another shot."
After the second imaging, the three people gathered around again and looked at the photo on the mobile phone screen. This time the scalpel was blurrier and it was obviously shaking more violently.
Yang Guang pulled Bi Xinglong away and said, "Old Bi, you can't do it. Come, see how powerful I am. Back then, I was known as Yang Stable, who was as solid as a rock."
Lin Sanqi also took a lot of photos of Yang Guang, and then in the photos, the scalpel held by Yang Guang was blurred, and it was obvious that his hands were shaking.
Bi Xinglong said disdainfully, "Is this how rock-solid your digital hospital is? I think it's the Foshan Invisible Hand, right?"
Lin Sanqi touched his chin. It was obvious that these two assistants were not up to standard.
"Well, call all the other doctors. Oh, and start with the surgeons. Let's try them one by one."
After a while, doctors came running over excitedly.
Knowing that they would be assisting the dean and performing surgery on international friends, and that it was a confidential operation requiring the use of the latest medical technology, no one was afraid to show interest.
Lin Sanqi asked everyone to stand still, and then tested them one by one.
There is one good thing about these doctors at the Infectious Disease Hospital: because they have been demoted before, they have all learned their lesson and know what to ask and what not to ask.
So even though the dean had a small machine that could make movies, no one asked too many questions.
"Ah, Zhang Shoujun can't do it, get out of the way quickly, Wang Dazhong is here!"
"Wang Dazhong is no match for him either. Next up, Zhao Guixiang!"
"Hahaha, Zhao Guixiang, look at how your hands are shaking. No wonder you can only be an internist!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it. After all, I was the best surgeon in Concord back then!"
"Ah, bah, I think you are Concord's countless scalpels, right? Look at your photo, your scalpel is S-shaped, no no."
Everyone was watching the video and competing with each other, all joking and laughing.
Until Feng Shiqi came on stage and the photo was formed, everyone exclaimed:
"Hey, Old Feng, you're amazing! The scalpel hasn't deformed at all!"
Feng Shiqi straightened his collar proudly and said with pretended pride: "Look at this, what is the level of Cambridge Medical School? You are all scum!"
Everyone was dissatisfied when they heard this: "No, no, just one time doesn't count. We're still best of three. Let's do it again."
Feng Shiqi was not to be outdone: "Come on, Dean Lin, take another shot."
Lin Sanqi was also happy. After trying dozens of people, he finally found one with super steady hands.
"Okay, then take one shot. Ready, go! Okay, over!"
After the photo came out, as expected, the scalpel in Feng Ruoqi's hand was still intact, without any blurring marks. It was obvious that his hand was very steady.
Lin Sanqi sighed in his heart, it would be a shame if he didn't become a neurosurgeon with such steady hands.
"Alright, alright, Feng Ruoqi will be the assistant this time, everyone can go home."
Everyone felt it was a pity that they missed the opportunity to "accompany the emperor", but they were not as skilled as others, so they left in a noisy manner.
Feng Ruoqi was still a little excited: "Director Lin, what kind of surgery are we going to perform? How do you need my cooperation?"
Lin Sanqi closed the office door and locked it, then said:
"Old Feng, the surgery we're going to perform is a right upper lobectomy."
Feng Ruoqi was a surgeon at Union Hospital, so he was a little surprised to hear about this operation:
"Director Lin, although this operation is a bit difficult, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"No, Lao Feng, you're wrong. The patient's condition is very poor, so I'm going to perform a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery that's unique in the world and unheard of by you surgeons. Both the surgical instruments and the surgical method are revolutionary and you've never seen them before."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out a laptop from the drawer and clicked on the video:
"Come, Lao Feng, watch this movie and see how they perform thoracoscopic surgery. In this scene, I'm the lead surgeon and you'll be the assistant.
You see, the long tube in the assistant's hand is a thoracoscope. You can also think of it as a camera on the top that can take pictures of the internal conditions of the human body.
During the surgery, we won’t have to open the chest. We’ll just have to make a small hole in the patient’s side, and then the surgeon will use special tools and perform the surgery while watching the images on the screen.”
The video on the laptop started playing. It was a complete teaching video of single-port thoracoscopic resection of the right upper lobe of the lung, which was normal, detailed and formal.
Feng Ruoqi graduated from the Medical School of Cambridge University in the United States and worked at Union Hospital. He can be said to have studied abroad and seen the world.
But when he saw the laptop and the laparoscopic surgery for the first time, his mouth was open for a long time. He never dreamed that surgery could be performed this way?
But he is a top doctor after all, and he still has experience. While watching the video, Feng Ruoqi has been thinking and asking questions:
"Dean Lin, this is the vagus nerve, right?"
"This is to cut off the right pulmonary artery trunk and the anterior branch of the upper lobe apex?"
"Is this the upper lobe bronchus? Is it going to be cut off next?"
Lin Sanqi was a little surprised, thinking that Feng Ruoqi's level was really far above his own. At least it was the first time for him to see inside the human body by digging a tunnel. The images were very different when viewed in two dimensions and in three dimensions.
If you don't have a solid grasp of the anatomy, you won't be able to tell at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi couldn't help but feel fortunate. All the major hospitals had laid off such precious doctors, and now they all fell into his hands.
So it is true that fortune lies beneath the surface of misfortune, and misfortune lies beneath the surface of fortune... (End of this chapter)
