Chapter 74: Replantation of Broken Arm



In the anesthesia room, Ruan Tang and Zhao Zhongqi discussed the details of the operation.

"As I told you before, I will replant your severed arm. If all goes well, it will be alive in half a month and fully functional in a month. I will then replant your severed finger."

Zhao Zhongyi was a little dazed. "Can my severed finger be reattached?"

Ruan Tang nodded. "I'll have to place your finger on your leg or abdomen first. You pick a place?"

"Then on the legs?"

Ruan Tang nodded, very happy, the communication was very pleasant.

The preoperative information sheet was handed over, and Zhao Zhongqi signed it and pressed his fingerprints.

Mr. Ruan has completed the cleaning of the broken arm and finger.

The operation begins.

"Steel plate."

Jiang Haitao handed over the steel needle, and Ruan Tang skillfully fixed the broken bone, which made Jiang Haitao look up at Ruan Tang frequently.

As they were both doctors, she could of course see that Ruan Tang was very skilled. He didn't hesitate at all when fixing the needle, and the incision fit exactly the same as before.

"Screw."

After fixing the broken bones, the tendons are sutured.

"2-0 Silk Thread."

When Father Ruan heard this thread, he finally looked up at Ruan Tang.

Because the 2-0 silk thread is extremely thin, it means Ruan Tang has to spend more time suturing the tendon.

Ruan Tang took the sutures and explained with a smile, "I don't want one arm to be longer than the other after the head surgery is successful."

Because Zhao Zhongqi is still young, Ruan Tang is willing to spend more time on tendon suture, because tendon suture means that the left arm will be several centimeters shorter than the normal left arm after the operation.

What she needs to do is to shorten the gap between her arms and strengthen her exercises during rehabilitation. It is not completely impossible to control the difference in arm length within 0.5 cm.

After suturing the tendon, the blood vessels need to be connected.

Ruan Tang sutured the vein first and then the artery.

After the blood vessels were sutured, Ruan Tang raised her head and shook it.

Jiang Haitao's students reminded her in due time, "The operation has been going on for 3 hours and 14 minutes."

Ruan Tang understood that they needed to speed up.

Within 6 hours, she had to reconnect the severed arm and place the two severed fingers on Zhao Zhongqi's legs.

"Loosen the tourniquet."

Jiang Haitao took a deep breath. If the blood could flow smoothly through the blood vessels, the operation would be almost complete. If not...

"Loosen the tourniquet."

Ruan Tang ordered again.

Jiang Haitao loosened the tourniquet, and blood flowed through the blood vessels...

One by one, all flowed through safely.

Everyone was staring intently at Zhao Zhongqi's wrist.

“Jumped!”

"The pulse is beating!"

Jiang Haitao exclaimed in surprise. She felt so lucky to be able to witness this great moment in person!

How lucky she was to be able to participate in this operation.

Father Ruan's tense expression finally relaxed. "You did a great job."

Ruan Tangyi gave Ruan's father a bright smile and began to sew the nerves again.

This time, even Ruan's father was surprised at the degree of nerve alignment when Ruan Tang sutured, which was almost spotless to the naked eye.

The last step is skin suture.

"Ichisuke, is it okay to leave this to you?"

Ruan's father agreed, and Ruan Tang began to connect the severed finger to the blood vessels and nerves in the leg. After the severed arm healed, he transplanted the severed finger to the hand.

Another hour later, the operating room next door had already sutured the last piece of skin.

There was applause in the operating room.

"Congratulations, Doctor Guan."

"You are the first female doctor!"

"Reporters are already waiting outside, just waiting to interview the hero."

Jiang Haitao originally thought that Ruan Tang would be distracted when she heard the voice, but she didn't even tremble her hands, and was concentrating on sewing the second severed finger to her leg.

If Ruan Tang had given up fostering the severed finger, she would have completed the replantation of the severed arm earlier than Dr. Guan next door.

Then Ruan Tang is the first person in China to replant a severed arm, the second person to perform the replantation surgery, and the first female doctor. All the honors and praises will fall on Ruan Tang!

But Ruan Tang missed out on all of this just because she wanted to foster two severed fingers, which were even given up by the patient himself.

She felt ashamed of herself for having such a character.

After Ruan Tang came out of the operating room, she saw Dr. Guan being interviewed.

A reporter from the newspaper asked: "Doctor Guan, as the first person in China to successfully perform a severed arm replantation surgery, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

Dr. Guan smiled gracefully and spoke eloquently.

"My success today is only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from Teacher Xu."

"I've been deeply researching replantation for three years, and today's success is no accident. Opportunities come to those who are prepared. I wish you all a good lesson."

The reporter kept writing and nodded frequently as he recorded what Dr. Guan said.

"Doctor Guan, you are indeed the first person in the country to have a broken arm. A great doctor knows no boundaries!"

Dr. Guan accepted the praise with a smile, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Ruan Tang pushing his hands out of the operating room and introducing himself to the reporters.

"Master Ruan over there just had her arm replanted. Reporters, could you please have her interviewed as well?"

When the reporters heard this, they were shocked! Hongyang County was going viral! They had actually performed two severed arm replantations simultaneously.

Reporters rushed to Ruan Tang and asked questions. "Was the arm replanted successfully?"

"To be more precise, we won't know whether the replantation of the severed arm was successful until half a month later."

The reporters wanted to ask more questions, but Ruan Tang raised her hand to stop them. "Excuse me, I won't accept the interview."

Under Jiang Haitao's arrangement, Zhao Zhongqi was admitted to a single room, and a student was left to look after him in case of any accidents.

After hearing that the operation was successful, Zhao Zhongqi covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Whether it survives or not will have to wait for half a month."

Zhao Zhongqi's crying suddenly stopped. This doctor seemed to be okay, but not good at chatting.

Ruan Tang left the ward only after she had instructed Jiang Haitao on various matters of concern.

As soon as I walked out of the corridor, I saw that the hospital was blocked and Director Yang and Doctor Guan were taken away for investigation.

When we arrived at the machinery factory, we saw people holding banners and protesting because they suspected the factory was haunted and had killed people.

Unable to enter the factory, Ruan Tang had to go home.

As soon as I got home, Hu Dazhi and Yang Hui came to eat. Because the workers were on strike, the canteen had no food to serve. Those of them who lived in the factory dormitory had nothing to eat.

Two laborers came to the door, and Ruan Tang asked them to knead the dough so that they could make vegetarian buns.

Ruan Tang mixed sauerkraut and tofu into filling, added some chili powder, and started making dumplings after the flour had risen.

Hu Dazhi whispered the news he had heard, "The families of the three people who died are blocking the factory director's doorstep, demanding compensation. They say if they don't pay 5,000 yuan per person, they'll leave the bodies at the factory gate. 5,000 yuan, that's going to take me half my lifetime to earn."

After they talked for a while about the news they had heard, they dispersed when it got dark.

Ruan Tang heated up the buns in the pot again and again, but Ji Nanfeng didn't show up, so she simply packed a lunch box and sent it to him.

As soon as I reached the stairs, I ran into Ji Nanfeng head-on.

"Ouch."

"Where did it hurt? Let me see it quickly." Ji Nanfeng pulled Ruan Tang into his arms and saw Ruan Tang covering her little nose.

Ruan Tang rubbed his nose and said, "I originally wanted to bring you food, but who would have thought you'd come instead."

Ji Nanfeng heard from Uncle Qian that Ruan Tang had been wandering around the entrance of the machinery factory. He was worried that something had happened to her, so he rushed over while others were eating.

He pulled Ruan Tang's hand down, looked at the red nose, pinched it gently, and said lovingly: "Now, you look more like Ruan Xiaogou."

Ruan Tang bared his teeth, "Say it again, and I'll really bite you."

"Come on, come and bite me." Ji Nanfeng took Ruan Tang home for a walk.

As soon as she entered the room, Ruan Tang bit the back of Ji Nanfeng's hand and warned him vaguely, "Beg for mercy, Ji Dagou."

Ji Nanfeng raised his hand and looked at Ruan Tang, who had been biting the back of his hand... Then he lowered his head and bit Ruan Tang's lips.

Biting and twisting.

Ruan Tang closed her eyes silently and let Ji Nanfeng hold her on his lap.

The love grows stronger.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Chief Ji, open the door."

It was He Kun's voice again.

Ji Nanfeng gritted his teeth and said, "This guy definitely deserves to be sacked."
