Lin Lin walked out of the operating room with a tired look on his face. His steps seemed very hurried, and his heart felt heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on it.
She didn't know how to explain this sudden situation to her family, and every step she took felt extremely difficult.
Finally, we arrived at the family waiting area and saw Lao Zhou's son Xiao Zhou pacing anxiously in the corridor, rubbing his hands constantly, with an expression of tension and worry on his face.
From time to time, he looked up in the direction of the operating room, his eyes full of anticipation and anxiety.
When Xiao Zhou saw Lin Lin walking towards him, he immediately walked towards him quickly, his eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness.
He stared at Lin Lin and asked impatiently, "Doctor Lin, how is my father? Did the operation go well?"
His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of fear and uncertainty.
Lin Lin looked at him and said slowly, "Xiao Zhou, don't worry."
"During the operation, we discovered something new. The cyst on your father's heart wasn't filled with normal fluid and tissue, but rather an unknown parasitic infection."
Xiao Zhou's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and fear. "Insect parasitic infection? What should I do? Is my father's life in danger?"
Lin Lin gently patted Xiao Zhou's shoulder and comforted him, "Although your father's condition is complicated, it is relatively stable and is not in danger of death."
"We have suspended cyst removal and now need to reconsider surgical options."
"After urgent discussions within our team, we decided to implement the previously developed backup plan, which is a heart transplant."
Xiao Zhou was silent for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Doctor Lin, I believe in you."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we are willing to try. Please save my father."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, if you agree to the heart transplant, medical staff will bring you a consent form later for you to sign, and the operation can start immediately." Lin Lin said with a serious expression but a firm tone.
Xiao Zhou frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Don't we need matching, or use native tissue culture?"
Lin Lin patiently explained, "The matching was done before the surgery, and I mentioned this as an alternative plan to you before."
"And given your father's current condition, he's not suitable for tissue culture."
"Your father's heart is currently infected with complex parasites. Time is running out, so a heart transplant is the best option."
Xiao Zhou was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
His eyes were full of worry, but he was also full of trust in Lin Lin and the medical team.
Soon, Lin Lin stepped into the operating room again with the consent form.
After it was confirmed that a heart transplant was going to be performed, everyone in the operating room quickly learned the news.
Zhao Ming and Li Xiu had already made all the necessary preparations and were waiting for the operation to begin.
Lin Lin did not perform the heart transplant surgery this time. Zhao Ming and Li Xiu were still the main and deputy team, while Nan Sheng assisted and learned from the side.
The operation officially begins.
Zhao Ming used the instrument to carefully separate the tissues and blood vessels around the heart.
Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the operating room was tense and solemn.
Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Zhao Ming's forehead, but he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.
During the process of separating the heart, Zhao Ming and Li Xiu discovered that the parasitic infection had caused some damage to the internal tissues of the heart.
Including Mr. Zhou’s blood vessel blockage, it was also caused by the pressure of this cyst.
He had to operate more carefully to avoid further damage to the major connecting blood vessels.
"Zhao Ming, check the surrounding tissues carefully for any abnormalities."
"Li Xiu, make sure to stop the bleeding," Lin Lin instructed calmly.
Her voice echoed in the operating room, keeping the entire team focused.
Finally, after a long and arduous effort, Lao Zhou's heart was successfully removed.
Li Xiu gently placed Lao Zhou's heart on the tray beside him, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
This once beating source of life has now been eroded beyond recognition by disease.
Next comes the crucial step of heart transplantation.
After flushing the entire chest cavity with sterile water, Li Xiu carefully picked up the prepared heart donor and carefully examined its appearance and function.
After confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming carefully placed the precious heart donor into Lao Zhou's body.
This is an extremely critical and delicate operation, and any slight mistake may lead to irreversible consequences.
His eyes revealed a kind of concentration and seriousness, as if the whole world only consisted of her and the heart in his hand.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze and everything became quiet and tense.
His breathing was steady and deep, intertwined with the sound of his heartbeat, forming a wonderful rhythm.
After the heart was placed in the correct position, Zhao Ming began the meticulous suturing work.
His fingers were as deft as an artist's, precisely connecting every blood vessel, nerve and tissue to restore blood circulation and body functions.
In the operating room, there were only the slight sounds of instruments and the steady breathing of the doctors.
Li Xiu and Nan Sheng nervously watched Zhao Ming's every move, ready to provide help at any time.
As the sutures connecting the blood vessels were completed, the hemostatic forceps were removed one by one.
The moment all the hemostats were removed, the operating room seemed to fall into silence, and everyone was waiting for that crucial moment.
