Chapter 221: A Thousand Doctors Have A Thousand Ideas, Encountered an Old Acquaintance_2
Ligation of the proximal end is primarily for preventing continuous bleeding. Otherwise, surgery would be impossible.
After the ligation ties on both ends are released, fresh blood rapidly fills the repaired vascular segment.
"It's restored! The vascular repair was very successful!"
Wu Baihe's surgical experience is exceptionally abundant; he could tell at a glance that the vessel had been successfully repaired.
"Don't rush to move it, observe it for a while to see if there is any oozing or thrombosis obstruction, etc."
[Hemostasis Skill Experience Points +1.]
[This is your first successful completion of a cerebral hemisphere malformation vessel repair and cleaning, rewarding +100 Hemostasis Skill Experience Points.]
A single surgery earned so many 100-point experience rewards.
Zhou Can was overjoyed.
However, this cerebral vessel malformation repair was his first attempt, and he learned a lot and gathered valuable experience.
"Alright, I'll complete the rest of the work!"
After Wu Baihe took over, he first re-examined the repaired vessel to make sure there were no issues, and then continued to clear the hematoma before methodically closing the cranial cavity.
The surgery took over six hours, and the patient was then moved out of the operating room.
Though the patient hadn't yet regained consciousness, from a doctor's perspective, the surgery was successful.
The patient was moved to the recovery room, with stable vital signs.
"Ah, it's already past ten in the morning, I'll treat everyone to breakfast. Everyone has really worked hard today. Thankfully, the surgery was quite successful, our efforts weren't wasted. Let's hope the patient will wake up with no significant complications."
After completing the surgery, Wu Baihe looked up to see the clock on the wall indicating it was already past ten.
He generously invited everyone to have breakfast together.
The work of a doctor sometimes truly knows no day or night.
This emergency surgery was done under high-intensity throughout, nobody had the time to watch the clock.
Doctors and nurses began to exit the operating room one after the other.
They thought they were going to the cafeteria for breakfast, but Wu Baihe had his assistant order breakfast in advance, placing it in the small conference room of neurosurgery.
Everyone, who had worked hard all night, could finally sit down and rest a moment.
The breakfast was quite plentiful, with buns, bread, Youtiao (fried breadsticks), Angelica eggs, and soy milk.
Doctors pay attention to health preservation and often cook Angelica eggs or buy them to eat.
They eat fried food less frequently.
It seems that some Youtiao was ordered considering the tastes of some young medical staff.
The texture of fried food is very tempting; young people have good health and no restrictions.
They don't care if it's good for you or not; let the taste buds be satisfied first.
While eating their breakfast, everyone chatted about the just-completed surgery or other topics.
It was just casual conversation.
Head physicians are usually very busy, and opportunities like this to sit together and chat are genuinely rare.
The conference room was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Dr. Zhou's vascular repair skills are top-notch! The vascular repair in this surgery was not easy at all. I had only heard about your excellent endoscopic surgeries before, but today I witnessed it myself."
A rarely interacting neurosurgery head physician smiled and proactively praised Zhou Can.
It's not exactly flattery.
It's just recognizing Zhou Can's excellence and getting on good terms in advance.
"I'm more curious about his method of identifying bleeding points! Dr. Zhou must have deliberately not suctioned away the blood clot, right?"
Another deputy physician joined in.
Zhou Can was busily eating a meat bun, taking two bites at a time, washed down with soy milk.
These neurosurgery bigwigs suddenly striking up a conversation made him pause eating.
Because chewing food while talking unclearly is very impolite.
"I guess so! Don't you guys use the method of observing blood clots to find bleeding points?"
Zhou Can vaguely realized that while the basic operations of hemostasis skills remain consistent for each doctor, there might also be many variations. Everyone has their own set of experiences and techniques.
Putting it simply, it's like "Different strokes for different folks."
"Exactly as I expected. I never knew about using observation of blood clots to find bleeding points. If Dr. Zhou is willing, could you share your successful experience?"
This deputy physician, still eager to learn at over fifty years old, continued.
"I've also never heard of that method, this is the first time I've heard about finding bleeding points by observing blood clots!" Another attending physician joined the discussion.
While Wu Baihe and others didn't speak, their cessation of conversation and attentive listening to Zhou Can sharing his insights indicated that they probably didn't grasp the technique of using observation for locating hemorrhage sources either.
Everyone thinks differently, and their methods of doing things vary.
For instance, when rushing from home to the hospital for work, some choose to walk, others hitch a ride, some take taxis, some drive themselves, and some cycle... there are many ways.
But they all manage to arrive at the hospital on time.
That's what's commonly referred to as "All roads lead to Rome."
"Since someone asked, I'll talk about my own simple method, but please don't laugh at me."
Zhou Can wasn't secretive; instead, he generously shared his valuable insights.
"Blood pools create a flow direction, accumulating more will even form wave-like patterns…"
He shared his techniques with everyone.
The four nurses, not very knowledgeable about surgical skills, just admired Zhou Can with respect.
