Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 306 - 200: The Surgery Begins, Captivating the Entire City
Post-operative day 3...
The baby in the ICU is currently improving, and complications have been contained.
The child’s parents have also completed liver donor matching, and fortunately, both were successful matches.
Next, we need to select the one in better condition for pre-surgical physical examination and preparation.
Post-operative day 5...
The baby’s recovery has delighted everyone, with a noticeable return of consciousness and responses.
After confirmation, the ventilator was officially removed, and physiological indicators are stabilizing.
This means that given the current situation, barring any surprises, surgery can be carried out.
Of course,
The baby’s liver failure hasn’t stopped; although we’ve done our utmost to contain it these days, the jaundice continues to worsen.
At this moment, the baby’s whole body has turned a yellowish hue, with bilirubin levels rising daily at a rate of 150, with the total exceeding many times the normal level!
This means we must complete the liver transplant surgery as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the situation, as it is, won’t endure for many more days.
Post-operative day 7...
Qin Feng headed straight to the internal medicine department upon arriving at the hospital.
"Director Cheng, has the match result come out?"
"It’s out, here’s the report."
Cheng Hongwu stood up immediately upon seeing him enter and handed one of the reports on the table to him, showing delight,
"After screening, the left outer lobe of the child’s mother’s liver is highly suitable, while the inspection revealed mild fatty liver in the child’s father, so he was ruled out."
"This is excellent, the donor issue is now completely resolved."
Qin Feng, hearing this, also revealed a satisfied smile.
With this, the biggest challenge of the entire surgery is completely removed.
"Since there’s no issue with the donor, let’s report it promptly and prepare for the surgery."
"Yes, I agree with your idea, Director Qin; I’ve drafted the report."
With that, Cheng Hongwu handed over another document on the table to him.
Qin Feng took a look, and the report had no issues, but he noticed the submitter’s space was blank.
"Director Qin, this is reserved for you."
Seeing his somewhat puzzled look, Cheng Hongwu laughed,
"Although the patient is currently under my name, you are the one who took over the treatment and surgery, and both the surgical plan and chief surgeon are you, so it’s better for you to submit it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng instantly understood.
What a compassionate gesture, giving up the lead spot for the surgery!
If this report is submitted under Qin Feng’s name, with approval from the hospital board, and then reported to the Provincial Health Commission for approval,
This operation will be led by Qin Feng, which is justifiably so.
But his contract is expiring soon, and given the ultra-high difficulty surgeries he’s done, he doesn’t care much for a surgical credit.
What he cares about is the reward for performing the surgery!
"Director Cheng, this is internal medicine; you’re also one of the chief surgeons, no need to be so courteous."
Qin Feng lightly smiled and shook his head, placing the report back on the table.
"No, no, Director Qin, there’s no one more suitable than you; I truly can’t sign it..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Cheng Hongwu still refused, just about to continue when Qin Feng interrupted by raising his hand.
"Director Cheng, with less than a month left before I leave here, this is just a surgery to me, but the significance is different for you and the city’s first hospital."
Qin Feng’s words were tinged with seriousness as he spoke in a deep voice,
"Honor isn’t of use to me, consider it a small gift from me to you and the hospital, sign it."
With those words, he handed the signing pen from his chest to Cheng Hongwu, his face beaming with smiles.
For some reason, Cheng Hongwu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.
Or perhaps he was moved!
Who would’ve thought Qin Feng would be so noble and selfless, giving up such a prestigious opportunity.
Understandably, an ultra-high difficulty surgery is of enormous importance to a doctor’s résumé, especially for someone like him, a director-level physician.
Unless at a hospital in a primary city or top specialized hospital, such opportunities are rare and, even if encountered, the conditions may not allow the surgery to be completed.
Ultimately, the patient still has to go to a better hospital for surgery, for treatment.
With words spoken to this point, Cheng Hongwu ceased to decline and picked up the pen to write his name!
"Thank you, Director Qin!"
"We’re like family, no need for courtesy, I’ll take the report over and be on my way."
Qin Feng waved his hand, picked up the report, and walked out with a smile.
Shortly thereafter,
The report reached the director’s desk, where Zhang Tong directly stamped approval, electronically sending it to the Provincial Health Commission.
As liver transplantation requires approval from higher managing departments, it’s a bit more complicated.
But they had all procedures and materials ready, and the approval was issued just after the afternoon shift started.
Approved!
The surgery entered the final preparation phase.
At this moment, in the City First Hospital’s internal medicine department, a palpable atmosphere of tension and excitement pervaded.
From doctors to nurses, none were more thrilled and eager than they.
"Have you heard? The liver transplant surgery for the baby in our department has been approved."
"I know, I know, and I heard that Director Qin will be co-chief surgeon with our Director Cheng."
"Let me tell you an insider’s secret: the name submitted for the surgery is Director Cheng Hongwu."
"Director Cheng? Why isn’t it Director Qin?"
"Oh! This is obvious, Director Qin must’ve conceded! With Director Qin’s surgical skill, is there any difficulty?"
"We can’t say that, the City First Hospital has never encountered such a difficult surgery in internal medicine since its establishment, I’m incredibly nervous."
"I hope the surgery goes well! My male idol, Director Qin, is about to leave, I’m so reluctant, boohoo~"
"Wuwuwu! Your words have really saddened me."
...
Inside the operating room, the head nurse personally led the team to prepare the room, proceeding methodically.
Outside the operating room, everyone was eagerly waiting, staring intently at the conference room door.
Inside the room, it was filled with all the doctors who would perform the surgery and the hospital leaders, along with the child’s father, listening to a pre-surgery briefing.
Of course, he was very excited, not expecting the hospital director to personally participate in his baby’s surgery.
This greatly boosted his confidence!
It could be said that this surgery tugged at the heartstrings of the entire hospital staff!
"Director Qin, Director Cheng, we entrust this surgery to you."
Zhang Tong personally came to encourage them, smiling as he looked at the two.
"Rest assured, with Director Qin here, I will fully cooperate."
Cheng Hongwu nodded, looking at Qin Feng.
"I will do my utmost."
Qin Feng’s tone was calm, with a slight smile and nod.
"Alright, I won’t delay you any further, off you go."
Zhang Tong gestured grandly, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Qin Feng and Cheng Hongwu, along with four attending physicians including Zhang Chen, followed behind.
As the conference room door opened, they saw nearly all the medical staff of the department standing in the hallway on either side.
"Director."
"Director."
"Hello, Director."
.....
"Hehehe~ It seems everyone cares a lot about this surgery, let’s wait for the results together."
Zhang Tong chuckled, nodding.
Qin Feng, along with Cheng Hongwu and all the doctors, entered the elevator, heading to the operating room floor.
Here,
Both the baby and the mother would undergo simultaneous excision and extraction surgery, followed by transplant recovery and restoration of all areas.
As the elevator doors opened, they saw nearly half the hospital’s department directors and deputy directors, including Cao Ke and Zhou Xianren, sitting in the hallway.
Due to the baby’s head surgery and systemic deterioration, the difficulty of this surgery far exceeded the level 4 standard.
Moreover, the concurrent liver transplant added layers of complexity and uncontrollable challenges, especially with various intraoperative complications.
Thus, it could be said that the City People’s Hospital has mobilized its strongest lineup for a single surgery ever!
In the surgery plan consultation, a total of 8 departments, 12 senior physicians at the director and deputy director levels, participated as first aid and standby mobility.
Two surgeries,
Qin Feng was responsible for the baby’s acute liver failure removal, while Director Cheng Hongwu was in charge of live body extraction.
The two heads of the anesthesia department were already on standby in the operating room.
This time, Qin Feng also brought the head nurse Liu Juan from the general outpatient department, having performed many surgeries together with great rapport.
Meanwhile,
Nearly all doctors in the department, along with many others from different departments, gathered in the large media conference room.
This was the hospital’s setup for a large-scale live surgery learning session!
Even doctors on vacation returned to the hospital upon hearing the news, eager to observe and learn from the surgery.
Estimated numbers suggest that the doctors attending to observe and learn exceeded a hundred, reaching nearly two hundred people!
Unprecedented!
Everyone is filled with excitement and understands the significance of this surgery.
If successful, the hepatic surgery department of the City People’s Hospital will soar!
In recent days, other hospitals in Jiangcheng also learned about this news, that the City People’s Hospital would conduct an unprecedented large-scale liver excision and transplant joint surgery.
Consequently, the hospital administration department’s phones were ringing non-stop!
Numerous requests to observe, or if not possible, to borrow the surgery video for study after the surgery.
Each offer was generous, with everyone eager.
Knowing that a successful surgery would mark a revolutionary milestone for Jiangcheng’s hepatic surgery department!
Moreover, Qin Feng’s name was already widely known, so calls began even before the surgery as hospitals scrambled for a leading position.
Thousands of eyes from hospitals across Jiangcheng focused fiercely on this surgery.
...
In Operating Room No. 1,
Behind Qin Feng was the internal medicine director Sun Sheng, serving as his first aid.
Surgery: Liver failure excision + left lateral lobe liver live transplant
In Operating Room No. 2,
Behind Cheng Hongwu was the emergency department director Zhou Xianren, serving as first aid, while Zhang Chen observed as second aid.
Surgery: Donor left lateral lobe liver acquisition
At 16:30 in the afternoon...
The patient was anesthetized, and the surgery officially began!
"Current time."
Qin Feng raised his hands slightly, speaking in a deep voice.
"The time is 4:30 in the afternoon, patient Chen Tongtong, liver failure excision surgery & liver transplant surgery, physiological indicators are normal."
The circulating nurse reported the time and explained the surgery.
He nodded upon hearing this, took a deep breath, and his gaze turned serious.
"Begin the surgery!"
"Scalpel."
