Orthopedic office.
When the doctors learned that a patient with both wrists severed had arrived and that Li Zheng would be the lead surgeon, they all sprang into action and, except for the necessary doctors on duty, rushed to the operating room.
"What are you all going there for? Can the operating room accommodate so many people? You won't see anything if you go there!" Deputy Director Zhou Ming said loudly.
The number of people in the operating room is strictly controlled, and you can't just enter if you want to.
At this time, the cameraman cautiously suggested, "Director Zhou, how about a live broadcast?"
"Um?"
All the doctors' eyes lit up.
"Is this okay? You don't even have the equipment!" a doctor asked.
The cameraman nodded and said, "Sure, I have the equipment ready in my car!"
“That’s great!”
"Director Zhou, let's just watch the live broadcast. It would be a shame not to see such an important operation in person. How can a video be as intuitive as watching it in person?"
Zhou Ming nodded and said to the cameraman, "You go get the equipment. I'll go to the operating room to make some arrangements. You guys wait for me at the door."
After saying that, he turned and left the office.
All the doctors started moving, some helped the cameraman move the equipment, and some went directly to the operating room to assist Zhou Ming.
In the operating room.
Operating Room No. 7.
The patient also needs to complete preoperative examination.
Li Zheng and Director Duan and others began to put on their clothes, preparing to clean the severed hands first.
At this time, Zhou Ming ran in and said loudly: "Director Duan, I want to discuss something with you."
"Just tell me what you have to say!" Director Duan said as he got dressed.
"It's like this..." Zhou Ming quickly explained the live broadcast.
"This is a good idea, I totally agree!" Director Duan agreed readily.
"Head nurse, is everything okay?" Zhou Ming asked.
For such an important operation, the head nurse came to inspect it in person.
The head nurse, who was only 40 years old this year, was very capable. Without any hesitation, she said, "No problem, I'll arrange for a nurse to assist you right away."
Zhou Ming turned around and prepared to go out.
"Hurry up and arrange it. You also need to bring people to the stage to help." Director Duan said.
The surgery for severed wrists is a huge undertaking that requires the cooperation of several teams, otherwise it cannot be completed in one day or one night.
Zhou Ming nodded and hurried out to make arrangements. The head nurse followed him out.
Chen Dayong and Zhu Qidong each held one hand, rinsed it directly with saline, disinfected it with complex iodine solution, and then placed their hands on a small wooden table covered with a sterile sheet.
They both quickly put on their surgical gowns.
Zhu Qidong wanted to team up with Li Zheng, and Director Duan also wanted to. After all, Li Zheng was the most professional, and Zhu Qidong was also a quick learner. Chen Dayong and I would handle it slowly, just cleaning up the broken ends.
Chen Dayong had no objection. After all, there would be many opportunities for him and Li Zheng to perform surgery in the future.
Soon, the injured person was pushed in and the anesthesiologist began to give general anesthesia.
Zhou Ming assisted the cameraman to set up the camera, and a doctor sorted out the cables trailing behind and connected them to the operating room next door.
"Your camera should always follow Dr. Li's operation!" Director Duan said.
The cameraman nodded to show that he understood, quickly adjusted the focus, and ran to the next room to debug the equipment.
Here, Lin Xiaomei and another instrument nurse prepared two instrument carts, which were filled with various surgical instruments. The two of them quickly counted them.
Li Zheng and Zhu Qidong quickly got into the situation and had already started dealing with the severed hand.
Zhu Qidong sat opposite Li Zheng, feeling both excited and nervous.
During the last operation, Li Zheng was still worried about not having patients to perform the surgery on. Now, such a great patient has come, and he can also be Li Zheng's assistant. Happiness comes too suddenly, and he can't adapt to it all of a sudden.
Zhu Qidong forced himself to calm down.
If I don't perform well in today's operation, it will not only affect the results of the operation, but my rating in Li Zheng's heart will also be greatly reduced.
It's time to show off your skills!
Li Zheng placed the severed hand flat on the table and began to clean the broken end.
Zhu Qidong cooperated with the operation while holding curved pliers in one hand and tweezers in the other.
"Fortunately, it was cut by a paper cutter, so the cross-section is very neat and there is no need for special cleaning!" said Zhu Qidong.
Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Although the paper cutter is sharp, the cutting plane is not vertical, but tilted. We need to trim the cross-section of the tendons, nerves and blood vessels into a vertical cross-section as much as possible. That way, the suture can be more accurate and smooth."
Zhu Qidong nodded repeatedly.
This is the difference between an expert and an ordinary doctor. They can notice every detail.
The photographer came in again, all the equipment had been debugged, and the live broadcast began.
Next door operating room.
On the equipment cart, there was a 20-inch Sharp color TV, and Li Zheng's operations were clearly projected.
"The picture clarity is very good!" A doctor touched the TV and said enviously.
"Of course, photographers all buy original imported products from Japan. This TV must cost at least two thousand yuan!" said another doctor, also envious.
"hiss!"
There was a sound of someone sucking in a breath of cold air.
"This will cost me almost three months' salary! I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"
"Stop talking and watch the live broadcast."
All the doctors stared at the TV screen.
Li Zheng first used a No. 15 small round knife to cut off a whole circle along the skin of the cross section.
"No matter how sharp a paper cutter is, it cannot compare to a scalpel, so there will still be rough and uneven areas on the cross section, and the wound must be cleaned!" said an attending physician.
The other doctors nodded. Li Zheng's skills must be very good. Just for this first step, most doctors would find it difficult to cut off a complete skin ring.
"He's so fast!" a doctor exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed, fast and good!"
"Look, he's starting to clean the tendon!"
In the picture, Li Zheng began to clean the wrist flexor tendon, clamped the tendon with microtweezers, and repaired the cross section smoothly with microscissors.
After processing, mark it with a stitch using non-damaging silk thread.
"There are more than twenty tendons in the wrist, as well as more than a dozen blood vessels and several nerves. All of these need to be marked!" After an attending physician said this, he felt his scalp tingling.
"It's too complicated! It will take at least a whole day to work on just one hand?" another doctor sighed.
"You think this kind of surgery requires at least two groups of doctors to rotate, otherwise it would be unbearable."
"But in our department, the only ones with a background in microsurgery are Director Duan and Zhu Qidong. Director Duan wants Li Zheng and Zhu Qidong to complete all the suturing of blood vessels, nerves, and tendons to ensure optimal functional recovery after surgery."
All the doctors were not optimistic that Li Zheng and the other two could hold on that long.
"Director Duan has this idea, but Li Zheng and the others also need to rest. He will definitely take over when it's his turn."
