The Surgeon’s Studio

Chapter 845: Alzheimer’s Disease

Zhao Yunlong’s lips curled into a cold smile, but his orbicularis oris muscles immediately stiffened like a rock, unable to move at all.

At the same time, his cheek muscles, chin muscles, deltoids, lower lip square muscles, zygomatic muscles, laughing muscles, and upper lip square muscles began to spasm at the same time, as if they had received electrical stimulation and had a physiological reflex.

Zhao Yunlong could not stop the spasm. He did not stop it either, because when he looked at the screen, he was completely dumbfounded.

The stent actually appeared in the middle of the patient’s portal vein and liver vein. Blood rushed into the vein and flowed out along the newly-opened channel.

‘Uh…’ This was the effect that TIPS surgery was supposed to achieve.

He succeeded? How did he succeed?

On the screen in the operating theater, the commotion had stopped. Obviously, the puncture was successful. The stent went in. Zheng Ren felt that it was enough for the time being, so he stopped stepping on the line.

Zhao Yunlong stared at the screen, as if he wanted to see through the screen. He wanted to see through it and see how Zheng Ren successfully completed TIPS surgery when the patient vomited blood.

But he could not see anything. Only the final image was there. The surging venous blood and the distorted image seemed to be mocking him.

In the operating theater, when the operation was successful, the double-lumen tube had already been inserted. The balloon was opened to inflate, and the gastric fundus and esophagus veins were compressed to stop the bleeding.

Three bags of fresh frozen erythrocyte were hung on the transfusion rack. With the pressure of the blood transfusion device, the blood poured in.

There was a side effect to the blood transfusion, but the patient’s current state could only submit to them. They would leave the side effects to the ICU’s professional doctors to handle them professionally.

When Chief Luo rushed in, he saw Zheng Ren pressing his hand on the puncture point and directing the resuscitation.

He did not perform cardiac compressions. Although his tone of directing the resuscitation was very urgent, he did not panic.

A few minutes later, the patient’s blood pressure began to rise again. Chief Luo stood in the operating theater in a daze. He really did not have to do anything.

It was not that he did not want to do it, but a few nurses and anesthetists had finished all the work.

“Boss… Boss Zheng, are you alright?” Chief Luo still refused to believe it and asked.

“Yes, the TIPS surgery was successful. The double-lumen tube is suppressing the bleeding. It will be sent to the ICU in a while. Chief Luo, take a look. Once your condition has been alleviated, go to the endoscopic unit and perform a lasso operation.

“This patient’s gastric fundus vein is especially varicose. I’m afraid that the double lumen tube won’t be able to suppress it.

“Although it has already been divided to reduce the pressure, it’s still safer to perform a LASIK.”

Zheng Ren looked at Chief Luo and explained some matters after the surgery.

“…” After Chief Luo heard Zheng Ren’s words with his own ears, not only did he not understand, but he was even more confused.

“Chief Luo?” Zheng Ren saw Chief Luo standing there in a daze, so he called out.

“How did you do it?” Chief Luo asked in surprise.

“Puncture and stent removal. It’s very simple,” Zheng Ren said. “The patient has lost too much blood, and there is a high possibility of DIC complications after the surgery. Chief Luo, the LASIK must be done, and it’s best to complete it within eight hours.”

“Okay… Okay,” Chief Luo was stunned and muttered subconsciously.

“Those who are not wearing lead clothing should go out first. Yiren, you are not needed here.” Zheng Ren said. “I will get a recyclable stent next and the surgery will be done. Chief Luo, inform the ICU to prepare a bed and a ventilator.”

“Okay.” Although Chief Luo was still not sure, the patient’s vital signs on the monitor told him that the patient was gradually recovering with the infusion of fresh frozen erythrocyte.

Although this recovery was only temporary, there would definitely be a reaction when a large amount of allogeneic erythrocyte was injected into the human body. However, that was a matter for the future. At the very least, it gave the ICU doctors time to save and treat the patient.

Moreover, there were so many methods in the 912 wards. As long as he was still alive, it would not be so easy for him to die.

Chief Luo and Xie Yiren walked out. The air-tight lead door was closed. It was so quiet in the operating room that even a needle dropping could be heard.

The screen in the operating room moved again, but when the retractable stent went in, the surgery was over.

“Little Zhao, are you dumbfounded?” Chief Luo smiled awkwardly when he saw Zhao Yunlong standing in front of the screen in a strange position.

The air in the operating room was stagnant, which was very discomforting. He wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere.

Actually, Chief Luo knew that Zhao Yunlong was not the only one who was dumbfounded. He was also dumbfounded.

The emergency TIPS surgery actually succeeded without anyone noticing while the patient was vomiting blood!

Boss Zheng’s skill level was so high that it was simply inconceivable.

The muscles on the corners of Zhao Yunlong’s mouth and brows were still trembling non-stop. A trace of saliva flowed out and wet his sterile mask. It looked very much like Alzheimer’s disease.

When did the TIPS surgery become so simple?

It was fine if it was a normal slow-motion TIPS surgery, but this was an emergency surgery. There was not even a CT scan of the abdomen. How did he locate it?!

Moreover, it was done when the patient was violently convulsing and agitated!

F*ck! No wonder he dared to broadcast the surgery live. If this kind of surgery could be completed, what could he not do?

Zhao Yunlong looked at the last frame left on the screen in a daze. He could retrieve the stent and put it in. The diameter of the stent was slightly smaller. It could effectively prevent the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy after the surgery.

He had already thought of how to incite the patient’s family to sue Zheng Ren, and he would meddle a little. He would tell the patient’s family some inside information about the medical treatment, and he could even provide some crucial evidence during the critical period. He could have made Zheng Ren suffer for all eternity…

All of this seemed beautiful, but what was the truth?

The surgery failing and the patient’s death was the cornerstone of all of this, but now, the surgery had succeeded, and all of this could no longer exist.

“Little Zhao, have you gone crazy from looking at me?” Chief Luo expressed his understanding towards Zhao Yunlong’s disregard for him.

Even a doctor from the Digestive Department was dumbfounded from looking at him. The doctor who intervened would probably be able to see even more shocking details.

“Uh… Chief Luo, I’m sorry.” Zhao Yunlong’s reaction was rather quick. He carefully analyzed his actions and words, and there were no flaws. Those thoughts were also his own thoughts, and he did not put them into action.

He immediately woke up and controlled the spasms and trembling of his facial muscles. When did he start drooling? That was too f*cking disgusting.

“The surgery was really beautiful. Boss Zheng is amazing!” Zhao Yunlong praised him

“Against his will too.”

“What you said is absolutely right!” Chief Luo said. “It seems that I underestimated the identity of the Nobel Prize candidate before. That’s right. Little Zheng is so young. If he were a few years older, he probably wouldn’t have done it.”

Chief Luo said with a sigh. Every word he said disgusted Zhao Yunlong.

‘How old are you? Why are you kneeling down like this? He’s just a junior doctor. Nobel Prize? He’s just a candidate. How many years has it been since he received a Nobel Prize with a new technique? How can he do it alone?’

However, Zhao Yunlong did not dare to say all this. He thought about it and decided to let it go.

“Little Boss Zheng is so skilled. It seems that he will be taking in a few patients with advanced cirrhosis in the next few days. I have to carefully see how he performs the surgery,” Chief Luo said to himself.
