Right now.
Yang Zhenan was overwhelmed with emotion.
If the surgery hadn't been in progress, Yang Zhen'an would have loved to call Li Huai'an right now and tell him how amazing the acupuncture anesthesia technique he had witnessed was.
Moreover, the person who knows this acupuncture anesthesia is none other than his junior apprentice, Su Zhengnan.
I wonder what expression Director Li would have on his face if he knew about this?
Yang Zhen'an was already looking forward to seeing Li Huai'an's expression when he found out.
After confirming that the patient was under anesthesia, Zhu Jiangcai, who was standing to the side, immediately showed a hint of joy on his face and nodded to Su Zhengnan, saying:
"Dr. Su, we can proceed with the surgery now!"
"Alright, everyone, let's get ready to begin the surgery!"
Su Zhengnan nodded, then picked up the scalpel, walked to the little girl, and smiled slightly:
"Sweetie, close your eyes and count to five hundred silently. When you wake up, you'll see Mommy and Daddy!"
"Okay, I'll listen to the doctor."
Zou Yina nodded obediently, then closed her eyes and began to count silently.
Su Zhengnan turned to his assistant behind him and said, "Give me a skull drill and a milling cutter!"
"OK!"
Yizhu quickly responded, first handing the skull drill to Su Zhengnan, and at the same time preparing the milling cutter.
Skull drills and milling cutters are essential tools for craniotomy.
Without a skull drill, it would be very difficult to break open a person's skull with other tools under normal circumstances. You can't just split it open with an axe like Hua Tuo did, can you?
Sizzle sizzle.....
Soon, the sound of a drill spinning filled the operating room.
Su Zhengnan used a skull drill to make a small hole in Zou Yina's skull, then took a milling cutter and cut open the cranial membrane, his hands moving without the slightest pause.
Beep beep beep.....
The heart rate monitor next to me showed very stable fluctuations, without any dramatic changes.
"What incredible hand speed! The patient's heart rate didn't change at all? How familiar must one be with the structure of the skull to do that?"
"The patient's blood pressure is also very stable. It seems that Dr. Su's acupuncture anesthesia not only achieved pain relief and anesthesia, but also stopped the bleeding? Isn't that amazing!"
"Incredible, it's simply unbelievable."
"I never imagined that Dr. Su, who looks so young, would have such terrifying surgical skills. How many surgeries must he have gone through to achieve that?"
The surgeons present all stared wide-eyed at Su Zhengnan's surgery, their faces filled with disbelief.
It's important to know that removing a tumor from the brain is one of the most difficult surgeries to perform.
This surgery cannot be performed without considerable surgical experience.
However, judging from the smoothness and precision of Su Zhengnan's craniotomy, he was clearly more skilled than these top surgeons.
That's why they were so shocked!
Su Zhengnan didn't care what the surgeons from the Third People's Hospital thought. His hands didn't stop moving as he continuously gave instructions to his assistants behind him:
"Periosteal elevator!"
"Meningeal puncture needle!"
"Tumor removal forceps!"
"......."
The first and second assistants kept handing over surgical instruments.
Yang Zhenan and Zhu Jiangcai both stared wide-eyed, as if they couldn't believe that a traditional Chinese medicine doctor could have such powerful surgical skills.
And more importantly, Su Zhengnan is still very young!
They're unbelievably young.
He's only twenty-five!
Even a normal surgeon, after performing countless surgeries, might not have the same smooth surgical technique as Su Zhengnan, let alone at the age of 25.
"Could this be the legendary genius?"
A thought popped into Zhu Jiangcai's mind: he felt that the scene before him was not real at all.
Yang Zhenan's thoughts were similar to his.
However, Yang Zhenan did not think Su Zhengnan was a medical genius, but rather that he might come from a family of doctors.
And so, amidst their shocked gazes...
Su Zhengnan suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked up at Sanzhu and said, "Alright, the surgery is over, let's stitch up the wound!"
Snap!
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan threw the removed tumor into the surgical tray, then walked to the side and had a nurse wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"OK!"
The assistant nodded in agreement and immediately took over the surgery to begin suturing Zou Yina's surgical wound.
"This...this is it?"
Zhu Jiangcai glanced at Sanzhu, who was stitching up the wound, and said in disbelief.
Yang Zhen'an was so shocked that he muttered to himself, "This surgery was too fast! Are you sure the brain tumor was really removed? Could anything have been missed?"
Clearly, both Zhu Jiangcai and Yang Zhenan felt like they were dreaming, completely unable to believe that Su Zhengnan had completed the surgery.
Two hours!
How could a brain tumor removal surgery be completed in just two hours?
Moreover, Su Zhengnan administered the anesthesia himself; no anesthesiologist was needed.
Is traditional Chinese medicine really that amazing?
Zhu Jiangcai and Yang Zhenan exchanged a glance, and it took them a long time to come to their senses.
After Sansuke stitched up the wound.
Su Zhengnan removed the silver needles from Zou Yina's body and turned to the nurse beside him, saying, "You can take the patient back to the ward to rest now. Remember to observe her closely. I'll prescribe a few more prescriptions for her later."
The nurses exchanged glances, and seeing that Director Zhu did not object, they all nodded in unison.
"Understood, Dr. Su."
As she spoke, several nurses pushed Zou Yina out of the operating room.
It was only at this moment that the people present came to their senses and looked at Su Zhengnan one by one.
Zhu Jiangcai was the first to speak, asking, "Dr. Su, are you sure the surgery was successful? I haven't even seen it clearly yet, and you're already done?"
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "The surgery was very successful. If you don't believe me, Director Zhu, you can watch the replay of the surgery later."
Things are different now than they were in the past.
In the past, once the surgery was over, it was over, and if something went wrong, you couldn't quickly find the cause.
However, with the development of the times, all surgeries in hospitals are now recorded in their entirety. If something goes wrong during the surgery, people can use the playback to determine which step went wrong.
This not only makes it easier to determine who is responsible, but also makes it easier for everyone to listen to the replay and learn medical skills.
Yes, replay!
How could I have forgotten about this!
Zhu Jiangcai's eyes lit up. Perhaps today's surgery could be shown to all the surgeons so they could learn from it.
Yang Zhenan was indeed concerned about something else. Looking at Su Zhengnan, he asked, "Dr. Su, now that you've removed those silver needles, is the anesthetic still working?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the effect of acupuncture anesthesia can last for more than an hour even after the needles are removed, so it will not cause any side effects to the patient."
"However, craniotomy is a major surgery after all. Let's give the patient an analgesic in an hour!"
There is a significant difference between analgesics and anesthetics.
If painkillers are not used.
No patient can endure the pain after major surgery in a short period of time; it takes at least three days of recovery for the pain from the surgical wound to subside.
"Can the anesthetic effect last for more than an hour after the acupuncture needles are removed?"
Yang Zhenan's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "The surgery is over. Let's go outside and talk about any questions. It's not good to keep standing here."
"Okay, okay, let's go outside and talk, let's go outside and talk."
Yang Zhenan responded with great excitement.
Afterwards, everyone walked out of the operating room together and went to the sterilization room to change out of their surgical gowns.
Ding!
It was at this moment.
The system's mechanical notification sound instantly rang in Su Zhengnan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing today's special mission: Participate in a surgical operation and dominate more than 70% of the treatment during the operation. You will receive the reward 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Talent Increase +5'.]
"Hmm, not bad, this task is finally complete!"
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He followed Zhu Jiangcai and the others to communicate with the patient's family first, and then returned to the conference room to sit down and begin discussing the surgery.
However, most of the time Su Zhengnan was the one doing the talking, and everyone else was just listening.
With a further boost to his talent in Traditional Chinese Medicine!
Su Zhengnan's understanding of traditional Chinese medicine has also reached a new level.
He instantly understood many traditional Chinese medicine viewpoints that he couldn't comprehend before, and even gained some insight into the principles of traditional Chinese medicine incantation techniques.
Inside the meeting room.
After listening to Su Zhengnan explain some of the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine surgery and the main ideas behind today's surgery, everyone looked thoughtful.
This made them think of the approach of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
In fact, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has existed for a long time, and there is even a separate medical category for it.
However, the current integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is actually carried out with Western medicine as the main approach and traditional Chinese medicine as a supplementary approach. They have completely forgotten that traditional Chinese medicine can also be the primary treatment.
That's probably why.
Therefore, the concept of "integrated Chinese and Western medicine hospitals" ultimately became a way to deceive patients.
Many patients think that the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is very sophisticated, but in fact, their treatment methods are still based on Western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine is rarely used.
After listening to Su Zhengnan's account, Zhu Jiangcai frowned and asked:
"So, Dr. Su, do you mean that this patient also needs to follow the traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan after the surgery? And not take Western medicine for postoperative recovery?"
"Yes, I think some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are far more effective than Western medicines for postoperative recovery from tumors, and they are also very effective in inhibiting tumor recurrence."
Su Zhengnan nodded firmly in response.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiangcai was taken aback and turned to Yang Zhen'an beside him, asking:
"What do you think, Director Yang?"
"I think Dr. Su's words make sense, but whether the patient should be treated with Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine for postoperative recovery is a decision that needs to be made by Director Zhu and your team!"
Yang Zhenan expressed his opinion with a smile, saying that he strongly supports Su Zhengnan.
But this is the Third People's Hospital, not the First People's Hospital where he works.
Therefore, the final decision on which medication to take for postoperative recovery rests with the patients themselves.
Yang Zhenan was at most offering a suggestion.
