From the anatomical view of the donor's liver, it is obvious that if it is a mild fatty liver, excess fat will precipitate evenly and diffusely in the liver.
Qiu Ruiyun was overthinking it. This liver was at least a very mild form of fatty liver. There were not many yellow fat particles in it, and it was not even close to the moderate fat index. It's just that it is indeed larger than the receptor.
It is very likely that the recipient is less than 1.7 meters tall and is on the short side. If the donor is 1.9 meters tall, he will definitely weigh more than a person over 1.6 meters tall, and the weight and volume of the liver will increase accordingly. The human liver grows in proportion to its own body weight, not the same weight for everyone.
How to cut off one third of the liver so that it can enter the recipient's body.
What the surgeon needs to consider most is how many incisions to make to achieve the goal. It is best not to say more and just do it with one incision. This will cause minimal damage to the liver source and is conducive to the patient's future recovery after transplantation.
Should I keep the entire right half of the liver or cut the left half of the liver? Time is running out, make a decision quickly.
Deputy Director Xue's brows tightened: How to perform this knife? Is there a perfect knife?
"What do you think, Doctor Tao?" The surgeon asked Yishu for his opinion.
Because newcomers don’t have this kind of practical experience, it’s useless to ask. I just asked about the theory just to test the students.
Tao Zhijie, like the surgeon, had been thinking about this practical issue all the way, so he didn't say anything openly. Now the surgeon came to ask him, and he said in a calm and thoughtful voice: "I want to ask someone what they think first."
"Ask." He agreed at first, but after thinking about it, Deputy Director Xue became curious again, "Who do you want to ask."
Everyone thought he was going to ask other assistants around him or Song Xuelin.
Unexpectedly, Tao Zhijie raised his head, and the gaze in his eyes suddenly pointed at Xie Wanying, who was standing behind Song Xuelin in front.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the person he was looking at.
"You want to ask her?" Deputy Director Xue's tone showed disbelief, even a hint of dissatisfaction.
Never mess around during a major surgery.
"Just a question." Tao Zhijie smiled at the leader.
"Ask." It's just a question, it's harmless, maybe the assistant wants to get some inspiration. Deputy Director Xue readily agreed. I didn't expect a female intern to make any contribution at a critical major surgical node.
"Go put on your surgical gown and stand here with me." Tao Zhijie said to her.
Senior Brother Tao's voice was kind, as if he was relieving her pressure. Xie Wanying also knew why Senior Brother Tao wanted to ask her. Senior Brother Tao probably heard about the uniqueness of her surgical thinking somewhere.
Quickly putting on surgical gown and gloves with the help of the nurse, Xie Wanying walked around the end of the operating bed and came to the opposite side. Dr. Gong Xiangbin made room for her, and she stood on the left hand side of Senior Brother Tao.
Now she could enlarge her eyes at a close distance instead of squeezing into a small gap, and the field of surgery became very clear in her eyes.
It was a new surgery that she had never seen before, which made her feel excited. If she hadn't been on a mission, she would just want to greedily observe every detail in the surgery field and think about it thoroughly.
Tick-tick-tick is the sound of the pointer sliding on the wall in the quiet operating room. Compared with other surgeries, this liver transplant surgery requires doctors to pay more attention to the time rather than the patient's heartbeat on the ECG monitor.
