The Godfather of Surgery

Sanbo Hospital was a newly built hospital back then. The land at that time was not as valuable as it is now, so the government allocated a large piece of land and the terrain was relatively square.

Except for the medical and surgical building, all the other buildings are no higher than eight stories. The so-called spare building means that too much was built when the house was built and cannot be used now, but is reserved for future use.

The spare building is also an eight-story building. It is in a corner of the hospital. It is in a remote location and has been abandoned and unused. Yang Ping wants to use a room as a surgical laboratory, which will be used for animal experiments on new surgical techniques and new equipment in the future.

Dean Xia waved his hand and said, "You can just take the whole building. I'll ask the logistics department to find a designer. You communicate with the designer face to face. It's up to you how to design and decorate the building."

Asking for a building was a bit too extravagant, but Yang Ping thought that other departments would also need it in the future, so he happily accepted this building.

"I want to bring ten pigs to our hospital for simulated surgery. Is that okay?" Yang Ping asked Dean Xia.

In a good hospital, if there was a shrill pig noise, it would be inappropriate for the director to not know about it, so Yang Ping had to communicate with the director in advance.

Dean Xia was still so arrogant: "It's no problem for you to set up a pig farm in the hospital. I'll also help you get a license from the industrial and commercial animal husbandry department."

Yang Ping was speechless. He was not as arrogant as Dean Xia. I am afraid that only Dean Xia from Sanbo allowed Yang Ping to raise pigs.

With this building, the scientific research and clinical practice of comprehensive surgery can be "separated" in the future.

With the development in the future, there will definitely be more and more laboratories, and it is not an option to squeeze them into the same building as the wards.

Therefore, in the future, the laboratories of general surgery can be moved there, with one building dedicated to clinical practice and the other dedicated to scientific research.

Li Guodong has been responsible for communicating with the Animal Department of Nandu Medical University to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment. He bought ten pigs at a time, which is a large customer. For large customers, the Animal Department of Nandu Medical University has supporting services. During the experiment, they not only Door-to-door delivery, and a professional team can be arranged to cooperate with the entire experiment. Of course, this is all for a fee.

The other party recommended that Li Guodong purchase the "Diamond Package" with supporting services, which would save trouble.

The Animal Department of Nandu Medical University, the standard name is Nandu Medical University Experimental Animal Center, has more than 100 employees, including 8 professors, 10 PhDs, and more than 20 masters, with strong technical strength.

Li Guodong reported various service packages to Song Zimo. In order to make future animal experiments more convenient, Song Zimo decided to purchase the "Diamond Package" recommended by the Animal Department of Nandu Medical University.

The other party heard that animal surgery experiments would be carried out frequently here in the future, and they were even more willing to establish a long-term partnership with the General Surgery Department of Sanbo Hospital, so they attached great importance to the quality of this service.

The news of using 10 pigs for surgery spread throughout the hospital. After just experiencing the baptism of the thesis incident, everyone agreed that the understanding of comprehensive surgery needs to be refreshed from time to time.

The aftermath of the thesis incident over there has not yet been resolved, so 10 pigs came to the hospital here, and everyone was watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal.

All preparations were in place, and the experiment on using pigs for myocardial rotational resection surgery was carried out as scheduled.

The scene was so lively that the entire General Surgery Department suspended operations. Except for those on duty, everyone participated in the surgical experiment. Many doctors, doctors, masters, and graduate students in the hospital came to watch the fun.

This kind of thing is the first time in Sanbo Hospital.

The most recent animal experiment was a heart transplant at the organ transplant center. After the pig had a heart transplanted, it stayed in the ICU for a few days and was then declared dead after the operation.

It is unprecedented in the history of Sanbo Hospital to perform 10 operations on 10 pigs at once.

A non-staff member of the General Surgery Department like Director Gao would definitely not miss such an important opportunity. Before the spare building opened, he was waiting at the door. He also actively joined the ranks of young doctors in Sanbo Hospital to help move stools and adjust equipment. , never regard yourself as an outsider.

Director of the Thoracic Surgery Department Xiang Changjun and several doctors also came to observe. General Surgery is the birthplace of high-tech in Sanbo Hospital, and everyone wants to learn something real. Director Xiang is no exception.

Among the department directors of Sanbo Hospital, who doesn’t envy Director Gao? He has now built the sports medicine center into one of the top four in the country, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

You must know that the sports medicine department used to have no ranking in the country. It was just a small branch of the Department of Orthopedics with only 20 beds. Now the number of beds has directly increased to 80. Based on the current monthly operation volume, the annual operation volume can exceed 6,000 cases. , the annual number of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries alone can exceed 1,500.

The talent echelon is also very eye-catching. It not only introduces many talents with high professional titles, but also sends many young doctors to comprehensive surgery for rigorous training, and to top hospitals in the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries for gold plating. Instead of just going through the motions, they receive intensive care and are directly taught step by step by top experts from the training hospital. The training period is three years or more.

According to this development, in a few years, the sports medicine center will be an unrivaled presence in the country.

Such dazzling achievements have made Director Gao a well-known figure in the field of sports medicine across the country.

The department head, Daniel, is now rolling up his sleeves and working with the students, and he doesn't think it's inappropriate at all.

Robert and August were also very active, helping Li Guodong and others make the final layout of the laboratory and add some equipment.

Other people who came to watch, including Wen Zhong from the spine surgery department, Wen Ruzheng from the pathology department, Director Lan from the plastic surgery department, and the brothers from the orthopedics department also mingled among the students to help.

Among the brothers in the Department of Orthopedics, the most diligent one was Fatty, the attending physician under Director Bai. He narrowed his eyes and shouted to the crowd: "Little Fatty, Little Fatty, come here and help me." He wanted to move the operating room.

Director Tian of the Orthopedics Department of Huaqiao Building, together with his group of pampered brothers, did not even perform surgeries today, but came out to help.

Director Tian thrived in the Overseas Chinese Building and became the new boss of the Overseas Chinese Building. He was also good at dancing and was very proud of himself.

Dean Xia, Director Han and Director Zhao were very busy, but people are always curious, so they took the time out of their busy schedules to come and observe.

Using pigs to perform 10 heart surgeries in a row is strange!

The Animal Department of Nandu Medical University is really good. Ten experimental pigs were brought in with a special truck, and their coats were brightly colored.

In addition to the truck, there is also a commercial vehicle and a van.

The commercial vehicle carried an eight-person technical support team: two veterinarians, two breeders, two experimenters, and two security guards.

The van was pulling a load of equipment, various tools, instruments and medicines.

Because the General Surgery Department chooses the "Diamond Package", it is appropriate for the accompanying team to be more luxurious. After all, there are still not many potential long-term major customers like Sanbo Hospital.

The professional team is different. You don’t have to worry about anything. The relevant work is completed by their eight-person team. Even the anesthesia is handled by the veterinarian. Customers just do their own thing.

Each pig was placed in a ventilated iron box. There were ten iron boxes. They carried them one by one to the preparation room of the spare building. Each iron box had been lined with so-called "baoding cloth."

During the entire process of transporting the experimental pigs, two security guards were guarding them with collars and steel forks. In the event of an accident, they could instantly subdue the out-of-control pigs and ensure the safety of the surrounding people.

After the 10 pigs were moved, the experimenter opened the lid of the iron box, and the veterinarian opened the tool box, skillfully took out a metal veterinary syringe, picked a thick No. 14 needle, extracted the anesthetic, and pointed it at the pig butt in the iron box. After the injection, the pig soon became dizzy and the sedation before anesthesia was completed.

I saw four people skillfully lifting the handles on both sides of the "Baoding Cloth", and the pigs in the iron box were lifted directly out.

It turns out that this "Baoding cloth" is a thick canvas with four holes. These four holes correspond to the four legs of the pig. When they lift it up, the four pig legs automatically slide into the holes. The pig is wrapped and fixed in the cloth, and the pig is lifted from the iron. The box is lifted onto the operating table.

When the pig was moved to the operating table, it was completely unconscious. Four people quickly used special restraints to firmly fix the experimental pig on the operating table. The veterinarian began tracheal intubation, and then connected the anesthesia machine for further treatment. general anesthesia.

Fatty Liang was on the side guiding the veterinarian on the use of medication. Although pigs and humans are a bit different in anesthesia, Fatty Liang’s understanding of anesthetics is much more professional than that of veterinarians.

Everyone looked at the pig and not only praised it. The pig's body was very clean. It seemed that a lot of effort had been put into cleaning it before delivery.

"Use it with confidence. Yesterday we also did a thorough intestinal cleansing, and we strictly enforced fasting and no water before the operation." The veterinarian said proudly.

"Our breeders will help you manage it after the operation, so you don't have to worry about anything," the breeder said.

The experimenter was not to be outdone: "After you have done the surgery, we can recycle these pigs and help you clean them. Don't worry, not a single piece of pig feces will be left behind."

The security guard who was accompanying him said: "We are taking care of the safety issues. We can't hurt anyone. When you are going to do any measurements, we will be guarding you with weapons. If there is any abnormality, we will hold you down directly."

The Diamond package is just different.

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang washed their hands and disinfected according to the surgical procedures. The instrument nurse on the stage was Zhou Can. Huang Jiahui unpacked the rotary cutter and supporting instruments prepared under the stage and handed them to Zhou Can. The entire experiment was carried out in accordance with the normal surgical procedures.

Because it is an experiment, although the sterility requirements are not so strict, they still need to be managed, otherwise in case of postoperative infection, the observation will be affected.

Sanbo Hospital has seen this scene before. 10 pigs were brought in for surgery at one time. The operating table was crowded with people. Zhang Lin Xiaowu maintained order and put up isolation tape around the operating table to keep everyone away from the operating table.

In fact, Yang Ping had never done this before. The animal laboratory for the spinal external fixator was made with monkeys, and the experiment was done in Guilin at that time, and was completed by a Ph.D. from Xiehe Union Medical College.

It was also the first time for Yang Ping to take a pig directly to Sanbo Hospital for surgery.

——

Professor Cao's student, Director Xin Weicong of the Imperial Capital Fuwai Hospital, had arrived one day in advance.

In order to show respect for Professor Cao and Fuwai Hospital, the Medical Department of Sanbo Hospital sent a specialist to pick him up. The night before arrival, Director Zhao of the Medical Department personally treated the guests to dinner.

I heard that the spare building was already in full swing. Professor Zhang Zongshun, Professor Cao and Director Xin from Fuwai Hospital were afraid that there would be too many people to squeeze in, so they hurried over.

"Mr. Cao, what does comprehensive surgery mean?" Director Xin didn't understand what this department did, and it was hard to ask.

Professor Cao said: "This is a special department. It can perform all kinds of surgeries, and it specializes in surgeries that others can't do. You can think of it as a clinical surgical research department, similar to the all-round sea, land and air amphibious special forces in the army. Bar."

"Is there such a department?" Director Xin had never heard of it, and this time it was a great experience.

Professor Cao sighed: "Hey, this is the first time I have seen this kind of department. It's weird, and I always feel a bit nondescript, but they are really good and can take down anything. The case of cardiac hypertrophy I told you, here Professor Yang plans to use a new method, whether it is transapical myocardial rotation or minimally invasive surgery. I accept the patient, and I came to you to help check it. If it is really an advanced technology, you should just learn it. If it is flashy, If you mess around, this patient will be handed over directly to you for surgery."

"Understood!" Director Xin understands the teacher's intention, so that things can be done easily.

Director Xin is a top cardiac surgery expert and is familiar with all procedures related to myocardial hypertrophy surgery: Morrow modified expansion surgery, thoracoscopic Morrow modified expansion surgery, radiofrequency ablation, chemical ablation, etc., but he just doesn’t know about any other transapical myocardium. Rotary incision is probably the latest technique that young people have seen from European and American countries. They are eager to try it and want to imitate it.

However, Professor Xin is familiar with all the major heart centers in the world. Director Xin usually pays close attention to the world's cutting-edge technology, and has never heard of this kind of surgery.

Whether the technique was eliminated, no article was published, and it was not circulated. Director Xin wondered, if the technique was eliminated, Professor Yang would not be so stupid, and would still pick it up and use it. There is no doubt about the IQ of a powerful person who can publish 13 CNS articles. .

Director Xin took action this time not only because of the teacher's invitation, but also for another reason. The "13th Brother" that has been going viral in the medical circle recently is this young man. He published 13 CNS articles in three months, and published several CNS articles in the same issue at once. Chapter, he also wanted to see what this awesome man looked like.

Arriving at the spare building, the place was already bustling with activity. Officers arranged by Director Zhao of the Medical Department were waiting for Director Xin and his party at the door.

Moreover, Yang Ping also arranged for Xiao Wu to receive Director Xin. Yang Ping knew that Director Xin was the "observer" brought by Professor Cao, so he paid special attention to it and ordered Zhang Lin to arrange a position with the best viewing angle.

Professor Cao was very satisfied with this arrangement and nodded slightly. This young man is not bad. With such academic achievements, he does not appear arrogant.

It's just that the young man's personality is still a bit different, giving people the impression of being too rational and overconfident.

Being too rational can make people feel a bit indifferent, and being too confident can easily make people feel aloof.

There is no such thing as a genius, Professor Cao thought to himself.
