Chapter 702: Comparison (Part Three)
“64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction?” Liu Xuzhi was stunned for a moment. Zheng Ren’s side had already completed the puncture. He crossed his left and right hands and began the blind operation with the micro-guide wire.
“Yes, the blood supply of the vertebral body is too rich. If we don’t embolize it, we’d have to just cut it off and the amount of blood loss would be around 5,000 ml. Therefore, we have to carry out the interventional embolization in order to ensure the surgery’s success and reduce the patient’s postoperative complications,” Zheng Ren said as he began to step on the line. The micro-guide wire and micro-catheter were already placed at the branch of the internal iliac artery.
“Inject the medicine,” Zheng Ren said.
Liu Xuzhi moved in a trance. He pushed the contrast agent into the high-pressure injector and carried out the contrast.
He quickly recalled in his mind that the livestream surgery had indeed done a 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction.
However, Liu Xuzhi did not pay special attention to the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction. His attention was focused on the surgeon’s operation in Xinglin Garden’s live broadcasting room.
According to Reacher Zheng, the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction was key to the whole operation?
While he was superselecting, Zheng Ren said, “The 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction can find many small blood vessel branches of the vertebral body that need to be removed so that you can perform a detailed embolization. This ensures that the amount of blood loss during the surgery is less than 1,000 ml. If the surgeon’s skill level is high, it can be up to 500 to 600 ml.”
“Is that so?” Liu Xuzhi had no idea at all.
In Xinglin Garden’s live broadcast room, only the embolization of the transverse lumbar artery was broadcasted live. After that, the surgery to remove the vertebral body was not shown.
Doctor Zheng said it with great certainty, but was it true?
“It’s about this number,” Zheng Ren said while continued, “Push the embolic agent.”
“Oh, oh.” Liu Xuzhi quickly picked up the injector beside him, pulled out the embolic agent, and began to push it in.
“64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction is a very important auxiliary examination method. You have to study and learn it well. This kind of reconstruction is especially helpful for interventional surgery. It can clarify the approach so that you avoid operating blindly.”
After Liu Xuzhi pushed the embolic agent, Zheng Ren began the next step of the selection.
“Teacher Zheng, the surgeon in Xinglin Garden’s live broadcast room also did the interventional treatment for liver cancer. I saw the information provided before that there was a 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction. Each of the blood vessels supporting the tumor was shown.” Liu Xuzhi continued to recall.
“Well, that’s why the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction is very important.” After Zheng Ren finished the selection, he instructed Liu Xuzhi to start the embolization again before continuing, “Department Chief Kong of the Department of Interventional Medicine at Imperial Capital Hospital and I have conducted scientific research on the interventional treatment of small-node liver cancer. The 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction is a very important component.”
Zheng Ren finished the selection of another blood vessel. As Liu Xuzhi pushed the medicine, he thought that perhaps these were too common and there was really no way to compare the difference.
Just like an appendectomy, wasn’t it just that even if it was a fancy surgery technique was used? What else could it be?
Out of instinct, Liu Xuzhi still wanted to protect the unknown surgeon in Xinglin Garden’s dignity.
Subconsciously, Liu Xuzhi had already regarded him as a mentor for his medical career.
This Teacher Zheng seemed to be very skilled but was definitely still inferior to the Xinglin Garden surgeon. It was just that his own skill level was too low so he could not tell where the difference was!
Liu Xuzhi was in a daze for a moment. He let his mind wander as he pushed the medicine.
The most awesome surgical method for the surgeon in Xinglin Garden’s surgery live broadcast room was definitely the new standard of diagnosis and treatment for TIPS surgery.
But should he say it out loud?
This was an emergency rescue. What if it really hit Teacher Zheng’s morale?
However, perhaps he could give teacher Zheng some ideas. When the earthquake relief was over, he might be able to go to Xinglin Garden to take a look.
Yeah, it was probably best to tell him.
Liu Xuzhi pushed the medicine and put the injector at hand. He looked at four small bleeding branches of the internal iliac artery that had been embolized and three that had been completely ignored. While he waited mechanically for the push, he said what was on his mind.
“Teacher Zheng, the surgeons in Xinglin Garden’s live broadcast room have also made new innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of TIPS surgery.”
“Oh?” Zheng Ren said while he was superselecting. “Is it the kind that uses a special catheter to mark the portal vein?”
Liu Xuzhi smiled.
Finally, there was something that Teacher Zheng did not know. It seemed that the level of the surgeons in Xinglin Garden was still a little higher.
To create a brand-new surgical method was something that only a genius could do!
“No.”
“Oh? No? Then it can’t be that he used nuclear magnetic resonance imaging to determine the location of the puncture point, right?” Zheng Ren said lightly.
That simple sentence was like a bolt of lightning that struck Liu Xuzhi’s head.
He… He… Didn’t he say that he hadn’t watched anything from Xinglin Garden for years?
Then why did he know how to use nuclear magnetic resonance imaging to determine the approach for TIPS surgery?
Could it be that he was just casually saying that when in fact, he was also a fan of the people in Xinglin Garden’s live broadcast room?
“Teacher Zheng, you must be joking. Do you watch the stream on Xinglin Garden too?” Liu Xuzhi said very gently. There was no need for him to argue with Zheng Ren.
“I haven’t. Prepare to push the medicine,” Zheng Ren said.
“Then how did you know that the new approach of the TIPS surgery was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging?” Liu Xuzhi asked.
“Medication.” Zheng Ren did not answer. He only told Liu Xuzhi to inject the medicine.
Zheng Ren did not take what Liu Xuzhi said to heart. He took everything literally and then used his words to relieve his fatigue and sleepiness.
Seeing that Liu Xuzhi had finished embolizing the last branch of the internal iliac artery, Zheng Ren withdrew the tube and said, “Because this method was first created by me… Later, Lil Fugui also gave some advice.”
First created… Liu Xuzhi was stunned.
Bragging? How could he brag like that? First created! This teacher Zheng really dared to say such a thing.
He could only say it in front of him but these words could not be spread. When it came to academic matters, it was very likely to attract the displeasure of a world-cla.s.s demon.
Liu Xuzhi was also thinking too much but still tried his best to remain calm. He must not tell anyone about this. Doctor Zheng must be too tired so he just blurted out nonsense.
“Next!” Zheng Ren walked past Liu Xuzhi, pressed the b.u.t.ton on the intercom, and roared.
Uh… So fast…
Liu Xuzhi only noticed at this time that the surgery was actually completed during their short chat.
“Thank you. I’m more energetic now.” Zheng Ren smiled, straining the bruise next to his eyes. After the smile, he frowned. It hurt.
“Teacher Zheng, I don’t dare to talk nonsense about such a thing,” Liu Xuzhi said seriously. He felt that he needed to remind Doctor Zheng.
“Uh… The latest issue of The New England Journal of Medicine has my thesis that has been published. Didn’t you notice?” Zheng Ren called for people to come in and carry the injured as he said, “However, I myself haven’t read it yet but it was probably published around last December. It shouldn’t be the latest issue anymore.”
Liu Xuzhi was dumbfounded. There was already a thesis? Could it be that what Doctor Zheng said about being the first one was true? Did the surgeon from Xinglin Garden’s live broadcast room learn it from him?
What was going on?
