Back to 1999: From operating surgeon to becoming a top doctor

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Xiao Chenguang acted very calmly.

Laparoscopic thyroid tumor resection.

Whether through the axillary or oral vestibular approach, observation holes and operating holes can be established for surgery.

It's just that in this operation, emergency incision and drainage has been performed because the tumor compressed the trachea and caused suffocation.

It was obviously too late to do laparoscopic surgery.

Xiao Chenguang used a negative pressure tube to attract blood from the surgical area and pressed the bleeding point with sterile gauze.

"Of course laparoscopy can perform neck surgery, but now I have to use the high-frequency electrosurgery on the equipment to complete this surgery."

"High-frequency electrosurgery?"

Xiao Chenguang's words made everyone startled.

Obviously this term is somewhat unfamiliar to them.

Xiao Chenguang was about to explain, but now Li Wenxia beside him suddenly reacted.

"Dr. Xiao, I know the high-frequency electrosurgery you are talking about."

"Um?"

Li Wenxia's words somewhat surprised Xiao Chenguang.

"The high-frequency electrosurgery can separate tissues, cut and stop bleeding. It is an electrosurgical instrument that can replace the traditional scalpel."

Li Wenxia knew everything about her family treasures, but she was very accurate, which made Xiao Chenguang amazed again and again.

After all, in 1999, many operating rooms were not equipped with high-frequency electrosurgers. Not to mention nurses, some doctors may not even understand them.

But Li Wenxia not only understands it, she can even explain the principles behind it, which is not easy.

Li Wenxia felt a little embarrassed when she saw this: "I just learned it after I got off the stage last night."

After all, equipment use and maintenance are also part of the daily work of operating room nurses.

But during Xiao Chenguang's laparoscopic surgery last night, Li Wenxia, ​​as the instrument nurse, turned a blind eye and didn't know anything about the laparoscopic instruments.

Watching Xiao Chenguang running back and forth to install and adjust instruments made Li Wenxia feel ashamed.

It was obviously her job, but because she didn't understand the equipment, the operation time was delayed. This was unacceptable to her.

That's why after she got off the stage, she found the manual for the laparoscopic instrument and read it carefully before she could answer Xiao Chenguang's question just now.

"You only spent one night reading the instructions?"

Xiao Chenguang was really surprised this time.

After all, the instrument manuals of this era all have one characteristic.

That is, no matter how simple an item is, it will be equipped with a thick instruction manual.

For a sophisticated laparoscopic device like the one in front of you, the instruction manual is as thick as a fist.

But Li Wenxia could not only understand it in a short time, but also memorize it by heart. This kind of learning ability is indeed different from ordinary people.

"I also studied more because I was interested."

Li Wenxia pursed her lips and seemed to have thought of something: "Dr. Xiao, are you going to use electrocoagulation to solve the patient's surgical bleeding problem?"

"That's right." Xiao Chenguang nodded.

"But...I haven't seen any surgeon in our hospital who has used high-frequency electrosurgery." Li Wenxia hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke out.

After all, the patient's life is at stake.

She had heard from the director before that non-traditional scalpels, if used unskilledly, would often be counterproductive and cause secondary harm to the patient.

"It's okay, just bring it." Xiao Chenguang was calm and calm.

Then at his request, everyone quickly pushed the laparoscopic equipment over.

"There are so many buttons, so densely packed, all with uppercase English letters, how can you tell them apart?"

Even though they had seen the power of this instrument last night, at this moment, Liu Tie and others couldn't help but still feel a little afraid.

After all, unknown things always bring fear to people.

The laparoscopic equipment in front of me is extremely complex in terms of size and operation.

Everyone doesn't even know how to turn it on, let alone how to use it to operate on patients.

Even the intricate power cords on it make people’s scalp numb.

"What kind of monsters are the people who can design this thing?"

They looked at this newly introduced equipment and seemed a little at a loss.

Even Li Wenxia, ​​who had just learned theoretical knowledge, was a little timid when this instrument was placed in front of her.

Seeing that they didn't dare to go up, Xiao Chenguang sighed secretly.

You must know that high-frequency electrosurgery was developed by the United States as early as 1926.

Even by the 1990s, this technology had long been mature abroad and was used in almost every surgery.

But now, this technology has just started in China. Some hospitals even buy it just to cope with the review and assessment. At best, it is a decoration and useless.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chenguang shook his head helplessly.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. It's no wonder that domestic hospitals pay patent fees to foreigners every year, which are calculated in hundreds of millions of yuan."

Xiao Chenguang once communicated with a highly respected Chinese doctor.

I heard that in order to change the backward medical standards of the time, their generation had no choice but to endure the humiliation and go abroad to study.

Not only are they looked down upon by foreigners, but they are also subjected to various kinds of blocking behaviors.

Xiao Chenguang still remembers the silence and unwillingness in the eyes of the Chinese doctors at that time.

And that conversation also made him thoroughly understand that only with technology can you have the right to speak.

Only in this way can we stand on a higher international stage and be respected by others.

...

"The high-frequency electric knife is composed of a main unit and an electric knife handle, an electrode plate, a foot switch and other accessories."

"It is divided into monopolar, bipolar and mixed modes. The hertz energy generated by the electric knife can reach up to 300,000, which is 6,000 times that of ordinary household appliances."

In order to dispel the fear of the crowd, Xiao Chenguang began to demonstrate and explain.

At the moment of power on, all the indicator buttons on the instrument lit up, accompanied by a buzzing sound, and the equipment began to run.

"Put the negative plate on the patient's thigh, and be careful to prevent contact with metal objects."

Under the guidance of Xiao Chenguang, an electrode plate connected to the wire was attached to the patient.

After that, Xiao Chenguang stepped on the pedal switch on the ground, and the electric knife in his hand made a crackling sound.

"So scary."

"This is much scarier than a scalpel. If you accidentally touch the skin, you will have a big hole on your body."

"No wonder the director is so secretive about this. If such a high-intensity current enters the human body and accidentally touches other organs, there will probably be no chance of recovery."

At first, everyone looked at Xiao Chenguang curiously.

But when the electric knife in his hand fell on the patient, everyone's face changed.

The moment the knife head touched the tissue, a burst of light burst out, and the sound of electric current rang in the ears, just like the welder working with an electric welding gun on weekdays.

It's just that the welder is facing cold steel, and even if he makes a mistake, he can start over.

But what Xiao Chenguang has in his hand is a living person. If he makes a mistake, he is afraid of being doomed.

For a while, the whole operating room was silent without any sound. Everyone was like a sculpture, nervous and motionless, for fear of affecting Xiao Chenguang's operation.
