At ten o'clock, the operation officially started.
Mori Kawasaki has a solid style.
Although he has his own team, he still performs basic operations such as skin cutting by himself.
Mori Kawasaki is not a fool.
The strange words the assistant said in the operating room yesterday caused controversy and put him under considerable pressure.
The assistant was in a bad mood.
After all, Professor Morikawa deprived him of the work that originally belonged to him. This was punishment in disguise.
To his assistant, he was aggrieved.
What I said is the truth!
As one of the world's top medical powers, there is natural discrimination and disdain for countries like China that developed in the later stage.
If not, the Baiguo team would not be willing to pay double the commission and ask Professor Morikawa to perform the surgery.
In his opinion, Shaanxi doctors were lucky enough to make a lot of money while lying down.
Mori Kawasaki adopted a thoracoscopic-assisted midline incision plan.
Generally, the thoracotomy incision is 12 to 15 centimeters, but the incision made by Mori Kawasaki is about 10 centimeters, which requires higher requirements for later operations.
However, it is not too difficult for Mori Kawasaki.
The skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and peritoneum were cut open layer by layer, as skillfully as a cook undressing a cow.
The amount of bleeding is very small, never exceeding 10ml by visual inspection.
As the endoscope enters the patient's body, the field of view opens step by step.
Suddenly Mori Kawasaki was stunned, stopped moving his hands left and right, and stared at the screen with his eyes full of surprise and shock.
Why?
Mori Kawasaki realized that his pre-operative preparations may have been directional errors.
He underestimated how quickly the tumor would develop.
How could a tumor become so malignant overnight?
It was originally thought that the tumor mainly invaded the superior vena cava, but in fact it also wrapped the brachiocephalic trunk artery and the innominate vein!
Mori Kawasaki's mind was in a mess, like paste.
He had to admit that he made a mistake and underestimated the difficulty of the operation.
In this case, most hospitals will advise the patient not to undergo surgery.
Mori Kawasaki's original surgical plan was very careful and expected to have a success rate of more than 80%, but now the success rate has dropped to 50%!
To do or not to do?
If this is done, the patient will most likely not be able to get off the operating table.
If you don’t do it, how will you explain it to the patient’s family?
The patient's brother is waiting for news outside the operating room.
The surgery is expected to take at least five hours.
Suddenly the lead door opened and Dr. Morikawa appeared.
The patient's brother realized something had happened.
He rushed over.
"After opening the chest, we found that the actual situation inside was more complicated than predicted."
"What? How could this happen?"
"Any surgical operation has risks. Mediastinal tumors are very difficult. Only by opening them can we know the true situation inside. In addition, the equipment of this hospital is too backward. If it were in our hospital, a situation like this could be completely operated on." It was found out before." Mori Kawasaki simply passed the responsibility to the Shaanxi doctor.
"Then what should we do now?" The patient's family could only believe Mori Kawasaki at this moment.
"Let's do our best, but we have to be mentally prepared."
"Want more money?"
"Well, it can't be solved by adding more money."
After finishing speaking, Mori Kawasaki entered the operating room again.
Although he had to wash and disinfect his hands again, there were some things he had to tell his family members in advance.
This is a medical procedure. He has to prove that he has tried his best. As for the result, it depends on fate.
The patient's brother told the news to others, and several people covered their faces and cried bitterly.
As nobles who worship their country, they have many joys that ordinary people cannot imagine. But just like ordinary people, when encountering a disease, they will also feel fear and helplessness.
Xiao Hua heard that there were changes in the operation and hurried to the operating room.
Before Mori Kawasaki came back on stage, he saw Xiao Hua with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Dean Xiao, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid this operation will fail."
Xiao Hua frowned, "You should say sorry to the patient and family members, you don't need to be responsible to me."
Mori Kawasaki shrugged, "It can't be said that there is no responsibility at all. Our acceptance of this operation has something to do with Director Jiang of your hospital. In fact, we did not plan to perform this operation at Shaanxi Hospital before. If this kind of operation was performed in our hospital, Yes, the preoperative exploration will be done very carefully, and there will definitely not be any big deviations."
Xiao Hua was very angry and suppressed his anger, "What do you mean? Are you planning to pass the responsibility on to us?"
Mori Kawasaki shrugged, "I'm just being realistic. The operation is still going on, so I will continue to do it."
Xiao Hua was furious at Mori Kawasaki.
Sure enough, the badness of the islanders is engraved in their bones. When they see that the situation is not right, they will find a way to get down the stairs in advance.
After all, Mori Kawasaki is also a top expert in cardiothoracic surgery, but he didn't expect to deal with the problem in such a shameful and despicable way.
Mori Kawasaki stood in front of the operating table again, his expression instantly becoming solemn. He used a scalpel to remove part of the tumor, but what is strange is that Mori Kawasaki did not remove the tumor in key parts.
Because those tumors are more difficult to remove and can easily lead to massive bleeding.
As a member of Morikawa's team, I already understand Professor Morikawa's purpose.
There is a high probability that the surgery will not be carried out according to the original plan, and it may be a lower-risk palliative surgery.
To put it more bluntly, it is a face-saving surgery compared to "switch surgery".
Xiao Hua kept watching everything that happened in the operating room. She didn't expect Mori Kawasaki to be so conservative. When she saw something was wrong, she immediately adopted a retreat strategy.
Just like in a war, when you see something is wrong, you immediately fight and retreat, and also arrange a team of cannon fodder to protect the main force.
In Xiao Hua's view, this is very immoral!
The harm to patients is huge.
Every thoracotomy involves huge losses.
Because the lesions have not been cleaned up, a second operation will be necessary. During this period, the tumors will develop rapidly.
It’s not a good thing for hospitals either.
Mori Kawasaki has decided to put all the responsibility on the hospital!
Xiao Huasi thought about it and finally chose to negotiate with Mori Kawasaki.
"Professor Morikawa, let me discuss with you. If you think you can't do this surgery, I hope you can leave the surgery to us."
Mori Kawasaki was particularly angry at first when faced with Xiao Hua's sudden intrusion.
However, when Xiao Hua proposed the idea, Mori Kawasaki's expression became rich.
If the operation ends like this, although Mori Kawasaki can blame the Shaanxi doctors, it is still a bit far-fetched. But if Xiao Hua directly takes over the operation, the responsibility will not lie with him.
Mori Kawasaki did not hesitate, "Since you want to try, then I'll leave it to you. I will communicate with the patient's family now and ask them to re-sign the surgery agreement."
At this moment, the patient is lying on the operating table. There is a ten-centimeter incision in the abdomen without suturing, and the organs are exposed to the field of vision. With the support of extracorporeal circulation equipment, vital signs are maintained.
As far as the families are concerned, they can only agree.
No matter how much money you have, it will not help.
