The hospital has never performed a vascular anastomosis, let alone a vascular transplant.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "If we can't suture, we need to transplant blood vessels!"
"Brother, how do we do the transplant? Which blood vessels should we use?" Chen Dayong asked carefully. He didn't know whether Li Zheng was capable of this high-end technology.
Bao Youshan also looked serious, as he had no idea about the surgical method.
Li Zheng smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. There are many blood vessels in the body that can be used for transplantation. The most commonly used large blood vessel is the great saphenous vein. We will use the one from the opposite thigh."
Everyone nodded. The so-called great saphenous vein is a vein on the inner thigh that extends from the inner ankle to the base of the thigh. It is usually easy to see.
But knowing is one thing, and doing it is another.
Li Zheng stretched out his hand and Lin Xiaomei handed him four vascular clamps.
Bao Youshan and Chen Dayong each held an S-shaped hook to expose the wound as much as possible.
Li Zheng clamped the damaged blood vessels at both ends of the artery and vein and cleaned out the damaged blood vessels.
Every step was steady, as if taken by a veteran with many years of experience. There were no unnecessary movements and no lack of confidence.
Both of them were infected by Li Zheng's calmness and their cooperation became more and more smooth.
After dealing with the blood vessels, Li Zheng opened the joint capsule and thoroughly flushed the joint cavity. He then enlarged the wound on the front of the thigh and cleaned it thoroughly. However, the quadriceps muscle on the front was not opened because the trauma would be too great and the risk of postoperative infection would be extremely high. He only used a syringe for high-pressure flushing.
After the steel bar passed through the joint capsule, most of the contaminants were left outside the joint, and the contamination in the anterior muscle tissue was not serious.
"Start taking blood vessels!"
Li Zheng packed the wound with wet gauze and began to make an incision on the inner thigh of the healthy side.
