The last step is to set the threshold, which prevents many laparoscopic liver surgeries from being performed. This result is not unexpected, because many liver surgeries are also very difficult to perform in laparotomy.
Liver surgery is extremely difficult to perform. Once the blood is cut off from the liver, it will cause irreversible damage to the liver. The dream of hepatobiliary surgeons is to remove the liver without cutting off or losing blood during tumor removal. It sounds like a fantasy, but surgeons have really been working hard to find the perfect solution. Even the method of removing the entire liver, performing low-temperature perfusion, and then removing the tumor like a liver transplant has been tried.
To date, various liver surgical procedures have not reached perfection. This shows how difficult it is for surgeons to treat the liver, a human organ.
Today, this surgery must have its own characteristics if it can be done laparoscopically.
Dr. He and Dr. Gong on the operating table started discussing among themselves:
"The tumor is not big, but the location is too deep, close to the inferior vena cava."
"CT temporarily shows that there is no invasion of the inferior vena cava, but God knows if there is."
Imaging examinations cannot represent the final results. The surgeon, as always, must confirm it himself in the patient's abdominal cavity. Laparoscopy has unique advantages in such small-volume tumor resection. It does not require laparotomy and causes little harm. It can be directly inserted deep into the disease site for magnification. It's like inserting a thin needle with a magnifying glass to make the lesions more clearly visible.
The surgeons carefully freed the liver first, observed surrounding organs, blood vessels, lymph nodes, etc., and then went all the way to the location of the tumor.
The location of the tumor shown on the monitor had no reference to the patient's medical record. Xie Wanying could only judge it to be the left caudate lobe of the liver based on the teacher's conversation just now. The surgeon's words immediately confirmed that her guess was correct.
"It's in the left caudate lobe. Fortunately, the tumor volume is 6. It's not much larger than the CT results. It can be done." The surgeon did not say anything, but He Guangyou, the first assistant, said thankfully.
Gong Xiangbin, standing opposite him, suddenly shrugged at him: Have you noticed those eyes in the back?
There are eyes behind them that observe their every move like a microscope, which makes people feel a little nervous.
It's Xie Wanying. He Guangyou's eyebrows raised outside his mask. Unlike him and Tao Zhijie, Gong Xiangbin had never been in contact with her before and didn't know her weirdness. Geniuses all have a bit of an eccentric personality. It's just that Xie Wanying's weirdness is not the same as other geniuses.
What Gong Xiangbin wanted to say to his colleagues was: She looked at him a bit like a boss, super detailed and professional.
Soon, the two of them didn't dare to think about anything else. Tao Zhijie suddenly stopped and called, "Come and remove it."
The name is Xiao Song, Song Xuelin who just arrived today.
The operating room was like a fully-stretched bow in an instant, from being a little cautious and meticulous to being very tight all of a sudden.
The anesthetists and nurses looked at Song Xuelin and concluded that he was a newcomer.
When a pure newcomer is suddenly called to the operating table, there can only be two outcomes. One is that it lived up to expectations, and the other is that it failed. I am most afraid that newcomers will suffer disaster and the operation time may be delayed.
The anesthesiologist looked up at the clock, as if about to stand up and adjust the anesthetic. However, in the end, he did not stand up, but looked back at Tao Zhijie's expression.
It should be said that he trusted Tao Zhijie's eyes in judging newcomers, so he didn't need to make any special preparations.
