Chapter 489 - 357: The Most Difficult Combined Surgery
"Director Qin, I think this idea is still too risky."
In the emergency department’s meeting room,
Director Sun from Hepatobiliary Surgery frowned deeply and couldn’t help but speak up.
It was already 7 PM, and they had been discussing the feasible surgical plan for the patient for a full three hours.
The ones under the most pressure were him and Director Mei Fang from Urology.
Liver resection and autotransplantation, upper kidney resection with vascular intervention, both directors found it nerve-wracking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know this surgery is difficult; I just explained the situation of the surgery to everyone briefly."
Qin Feng nodded at the words, then said loudly,
"The detailed surgical plan will be delivered to each director’s hands tomorrow, consider it an attempt for us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Bin stood up.
"Let me say a few words."
"All those attending the consultation today are director-level physicians from various departments of our hospital, and I believe everyone is aware of the patient’s condition.
As for the patient’s family, they hope that we can do our utmost to save him, which is why I joined everyone for this joint consultation.
On behalf of the hospital, I represent the opinion that the emergency department will take the lead and everyone should cooperate fully.
If it fails, the hospital will take responsibility. If successful, I believe all directors present here will have their papers passed smoothly this year!"
Upon hearing Yuan Bin’s words, everyone exchanged glances.
Director Sun from Hepatobiliary Surgery had a strange and delighted look in his eyes, but in the next second, everyone’s eyes were on Qin Feng.
The emergency department taking the lead?
Does that mean Qin Feng is responsible for this surgery?
Does it mean he’ll be the chief surgeon?
Vice Director Yuan’s attitude has been clearly expressed!
"Alright, that’s it for today."
Yuan Bin gestured with his hand,
"Qin Feng, submit the surgical plan as soon as possible, ensure it’s comprehensive."
"Understood, Dean Yuan."
Qin Feng nodded in agreement.
...
The next day, Zhang Qingquan, with dark circles under his eyes, held an early meeting. Not knowing how much hair he lost overnight, he finally helped Qin Feng complete the entire surgical plan.
That night, he was on the edge, each step was a super high difficulty level 4+ surgery.
Ding~
At 10 AM, after going over the plan one last time, he hit enter.
"Whew~"
Qin Feng let out a long sigh of relief; finally, the first step was done.
Next, there’s something more important, continuing to simulate the complete surgical process to maximize the success rate.
After all, if it solely relied on the joint surgery by all department directors, the hope wasn’t big.
This time, he planned to personally lead and complete the most challenging parts, then have the respective department directors finish up, to increase speed and quality.
Although the risk was extremely high, the hope was equally great!
Subsequently, Qin Feng informed Director Dong Hao and then went home first.
Too busy at the hospital, one patient after another, making it impossible to settle down.
Once home, he immediately began entering the simulated operating room to practice the surgery again.
This time, he intended to complete the entire surgery!
...
The next day,
Five departments reconvened to confirm the complete surgical plan.
At the same time, Qin Feng was appointed as the chief surgeon, responsible for coordinating all surgical matters.
The next step was to talk with the patient’s family, to clarify the situation and risks.
Of course, after listening, the patient’s spouse was so scared her hands trembled, but in the end, she signed the surgical consent form.
After all, without surgery, it was waiting to die in bed; with surgery, there’s still a glimmer of hope.
"Doctor, please, you must save my husband, I’m begging you."
The woman knelt to the ground with a thud, pleading.
"Rest assured, we will do our best!"
Qin Feng helped her up, reassured her with a few words, and then departed.
The surgery entered the preparation stage!
Intensive care maintains the patient’s vital signs, ensuring the ability to undergo surgery.
The Hepatobiliary, Urology, and Interventional departments led by Qin Feng to complete the critical resection and transplant procedure.
The surgery was significant, expected to last at least 17 hours.
But all the directors couldn’t be kept in the operating room for that long, which required strict and efficient coordination, ensuring the surgery progresses while not excessively affecting the surgeons’ condition.
After all, several of the department directors suffered from herniated discs...
Soon, the news of this surgery spread quickly throughout the hospital.
"I heard that the emergency department is taking charge of a patient with end-stage liver echinococcosis?"
"Yeah, yeah, I heard too, apparently the person in charge is the newly appointed Deputy Director Qin Feng."
"End-stage liver echinococcosis, that’s one of the toughest surgeries in Hepatobiliary Surgery."
"Indeed, there are fewer than three places in the country capable of doing such a surgery, and it’s the first time for our Peking Union Medical College Hospital."
"I wonder if it will succeed, if it does, that would be amazing!"
"I heard our Director Qin from the emergency department was designated by the Vice Dean himself, really impressive."
"Definitely, he’s not even 30 yet, hasn’t even finished his doctorate, but he’s already a deputy director."
"I’ve seen Qin Feng, he’s really handsome!"
"I’m telling you, the most expensive car in our hospital parking lot must belong to Deputy Director Qin."
...
Some department’s medical staff were discussing the situation of this surgery during their leisure time, though the nurses’ chats often veered off course.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng, together with Zhang Qingquan, was doing the final preparations.
The operating time was set, and it would begin the next morning.
Because, critical care reported that the hydatid cyst could rupture at any moment, which, once it did, could quickly impact the patient’s vital signs.
