"What's the plan?" Director Duan asked anxiously. He had invited Li Zheng here because he was under pressure. If Li Zheng really came just to make a cameo appearance, it would be embarrassing for him, and there would be people gossiping behind his back.
Everyone stared at Li Zheng excitedly.
In this almost desperate moment, Li Zheng brought everyone a ray of hope.
Li Zheng continued, "If the chest cavity can't fit, you can put it directly in the abdominal cavity."
The ward fell into silence in an instant.
A few seconds later.
Director Duan pounded his palm with his fist, his face showing surprise. He said, "Yes, the space in the chest cavity is limited, but the space in the abdominal cavity is much larger!"
Zhou Ming, deputy director of the orthopedics department, also nodded and sighed, "This is the importance of open-mindedness. We are only focusing on the chest cavity. If we change the focus, the problem will be solved!"
Zhu Qidong and Chen Dayong both looked at Li Zheng with worshipful eyes.
They are all young doctors, but the difference in their levels is immediately apparent.
Pediatric Director Ma seemed to see something was wrong and frowned, saying, "If it's re-implanted into the abdominal cavity, without the ribs to protect it, the heart could easily be damaged if it's hit in the future."
Everyone started to worry again.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "Reimplanting it into the abdominal cavity is only the first stage of surgery. Later, when the chest cavity is more fully developed, the heart will be implanted back into the chest cavity."
Everyone nodded.
I am completely convinced by Li Zheng.
With such skill, I have a clear idea of the short-term surgical plan and the long-term surgical plan.
Director Duan nodded and said, "Very good. This should be the best solution at the moment. Mother, please prepare. The surgery can be performed tomorrow."
The baby's mother nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, we will definitely prepare the money."
Pediatric Director Ma shook his head and said, "It's not just a matter of money. You have to prepare all the baby's daily necessities, milk powder, diapers, etc."
"Yes, we have all these and have prepared them long ago," said the baby's mother.
After the ward rounds, the group returned to the pediatric office.
"Well, Li Zheng, please wait a moment. I will now organize the directors of the anesthesiology department, ICU, and medical department to discuss the surgery and subsequent treatment plans in detail." Director Duan said, more actively than the director of pediatrics.
Seeing Director Duan was so enthusiastic, Director Ma of the Pediatric Department didn't bother to get involved anymore. After all, he couldn't help much with the operation. All he could do was to do the post-operative takeover work. After all, the baby was too small and it was unlikely that he would go to the ICU after the operation. He would still have to spend the most difficult period in the incubator.
Soon, Director Duan gathered everyone together.
Still in the small conference room of the hospital.
When Vice President Jiang Fusheng saw Li Zheng, he smiled and greeted him from a distance.
"Li Zheng, I'm going to trouble you again!" Jiang Fusheng said with a smile.
Li Zheng shook his head and said, "This patient is very special. I also came here with a learning attitude. We all need to go all out."
Jiang Fusheng nodded and smiled, "You are just humble. However, this is also the reason why you are stronger than everyone here. Humility makes people progress, while pride makes people fall behind. This is a true saying that applies to everyone."
Although the other directors were a little unhappy to hear it, there was indeed nothing wrong with what Dean Jiang said.
Several people took their seats one after another.
Li Zheng sat in the first seat on Jiang Fusheng's left, and Director Duan sat opposite Li Zheng.
Chen Dayong sat next to Li Zheng, and Zhu Qidong sat next to Chen Dayong. There were only three of them on their side.
"Li Zheng, you have also examined this baby. Please tell me about the specific surgical plan!" said Dean Jiang.
Just now on the phone, Director Duan only mentioned that Li Zheng could perform this operation and that the plan was very feasible, but Dean Jiang was not clear about the specific plan.
He is currently in charge of this patient, so he must have a comprehensive understanding of the treatment plan and subsequent treatment plan.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "This baby's problem is scientifically called 'congenital ectopic heart', an extremely rare and complex congenital malformation. This disease is often accompanied by maldevelopment of other organs, such as diaphragmatic hernia. The surgery is undoubtedly very difficult and requires close collaboration among a multidisciplinary team..."
Li Zhengxian gave everyone some basic knowledge about this disease, and his explanation was very convincing.
"Li Zheng, this case is so rare, how do you know so much about it?" asked Pediatric Director Ma. "I'm not questioning you, I'm just curious. This kind of case should have been reported."
The earliest report on Li Zhengji in China was in 1986. However, in that era, information was blocked and there were no professional forums for dissemination. The most important way for doctors to gain confidence was magazines. But even magazines were not fully subscribed in such remote prefecture-level city hospitals, so it was not surprising that they did not know about it.
Li Zheng nodded. "I also read about it in a magazine. Last year, a hospital in the capital performed a similar case. They discovered during surgery that the chest cavity was occupied, making it impossible to re-implant the heart. Ultimately, the lead surgeon, inspired by the saying 'a prime minister's broad mind', decided to re-implant the heart into the abdominal cavity. The entire operation was truly thrilling."
"call."
All the doctors present breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyone who has been in an operating room can imagine the twists and turns and thrills of this surgical process.
Dean Jiang nodded. Looking at the director and several young doctors present, he said in a deep voice, "You all should learn from Li Zheng. You don't know about last year's case, but Li Zheng does. This shows that he always keeps a close eye on the latest medical developments, which is one of the reasons for his outstanding abilities. If you are unwilling to invest time and energy in learning and absorbing knowledge, how can you ever improve?"
All the directors present felt a little ashamed.
Including Chen Dayong and Zhu Qidong, the two of them claim to be gifted, but they also realize that talent alone cannot reach a high level without learning. What's more, Li Zheng is more talented than them and works harder than them.
They realized that the gap between themselves and Li Zheng would only get bigger and bigger.
"Li Zheng, please continue talking about the operation." said Dean Jiang.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "For the specific surgical plan, we can refer to the case in the capital. The first plan is to open the chest cavity and explore. If it is suitable for re-implantation, we will directly re-implant it in one stage. If re-implantation is not possible, such as if the lungs, liver, or major blood vessels occupy the space, or the chest cavity is abnormally developed, then we will start the second plan. We will directly cut the diaphragm and implant the heart into the abdominal cavity. Once the chest cavity develops normally and increases in volume, we can then re-implant the heart into the chest cavity."
Hearing Li Zheng's proposal, Director Dai of the General Surgery Department frowned and said, "Inside the abdominal cavity, organs like the intestines and liver are very soft. How can the heart be supported? It can't just be suspended by a few large blood vessels, right?"
Everyone looked at Li Zheng.
This is indeed a difficult problem. In the chest cavity, the heart is fixed in the pericardium, but there is no such structure in the abdominal cavity.
