When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Inside the operating room!

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious.

This surgery was the core operation of their rescue mission.

At this time, it was already midnight.

However, the emergency department on the first floor of the hospital was still brightly lit.

Wang Tong, Yu Yonggang, and others had also completed their work for the day.

They entered another office inside the operating room to watch the surgery!

This surgery directly concerned the success or failure of this rescue mission!

After all, before the rescue, it had already been said that Sidis was the key rescue figure!

Therefore, no one dared to relax their vigilance.

At this moment, Old Ma glanced at Xu Aiqing and curiously asked, "Aiqing, you've been with Chen Cang for a long time. When did he learn so many neurosurgical procedures? Since he came to our emergency center, I don't think I've seen him participate in many neurosurgeries?"

This question echoed the thoughts of everyone present.

These were rescue workers, all elites in their fields, and many were very curious about Chen Cang.

What kind of person was he, proficient in so many kinds of surgeries?

Moreover, the surgeries were not strongly related, yet he could achieve excellent results in each type, even attaining a industry status they could never achieve in a lifetime!

After hearing this, Xu Aiqing paused for a moment and then asked in return, "Do you have to follow surgeries to learn them?"

This rhetorical question left Old Ma speechless!

"I... I..." He stammered for a long time, unable to speak.

"The surgery has started!" At this moment, Yu Yonggang said.

Only then did everyone refocus their thoughts.

Only Old Ma was still pondering the question: Is there a relationship between following surgeries and learning them!

...

...

In the operating room, the blood transfusion department was ready, having prepared everything.

When choosing anesthesia for the surgery, Chen Cang opted for local anesthesia!

That's right!

Cranial surgery with local anesthesia.

This made Xue Zhengren and the others tense up.

After securing the head, Chen Cang asked for the scalpel.

This time, it was a first attempt for all of them.

However, looking at Chen Cang's calm demeanor, they didn't think it was his first surgery!

The incision choice was still the right temporal lobe.

Although the patient had undergone a CT scan, due to the special location, they still needed to drill and explore to prevent having to change the opening due to some reason after directly creating an opening.

Chen Cang carefully drilled in the lower temporal area.

Once the skull was opened, Chen Cang saw a thin-layered hematoma under the dura mater.

Yang Ming was right beside Chen Cang, and upon seeing the hematoma, he cleared it without needing further instruction from Chen Cang.

Soon after, everyone noticed the swelling brain tissue protruding outward.

Intracranial pressure was still high!

However, upon seeing the hematoma, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this indicated that the brain contusion was nearby!

By continuing to probe deeper towards the brain base, they could confirm the presence of the lesion.

Having made up his mind, Chen Cang prepared to open the skull.

But Xue Zhengren immediately said, "Professor Chen, let me do it!"

Chen Cang hesitated, curiously glanced at Xue Zhengren, and after a moment's hesitation, nodded, "Okay! Be careful."

Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback by Xue Zhengren's sudden friendliness.

Seeing this, Yang Ming instead smiled.

Cranial surgery usually has an assistant open the bone flap.

After all, it's a labor-intensive task, and the lead surgeon generally preserves their energy for the core operation.

So, Xue Zhengren's action was clearly a friendly gesture towards Chen Cang!

Xue Zhengren's technique was very skilled. As a rare neurosurgery academician, Xue Zhengren was highly proficient!

After opening the dura mater, Xue Zhengren stepped back voluntarily, "Professor Chen, it's your turn!"

At this moment, the intracranial scene came into view for everyone.

The situation was not good!

The worst damage from coup and contrecoup injuries was not on the outside, but... even so, a purplish-red tissue was seen under the soft meninge of the brain lesion!

Furthermore, small blood clots and fragmented, necrotic, softened brain tissue could be clearly seen on the surface of the brain.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone held their breath.

The situation was worse than anyone had originally imagined.

Upon seeing this, Chen Cang frowned!

A CT scan is just a scan, ultimately just signals!

Many things need to be directly observed by opening up.

"Give me the bipolar coagulation forceps."

"And a pair of regular forceps, please!"

Cleaning the surface work was relatively simple.

In less than ten minutes, after coagulating some damaged blood vessels and clearing fragmented tissue, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

The key was in the subsequent treatment.

Surface blood clots and fragmented tissue had been cleared.

At this point, Chen Cang cautiously used blunt tissue forceps to gently separate brain tissue.

Under the shadowless lamp, the internal situation was soon exposed.

Seeing this scene, everyone's expression changed!

No one expected the internal damage to be so severe!

Xue Zhengren furrowed his brows tightly, "Can this be cleaned? The necrotic tissue has already broken into the ventricles, losing boundaries! And the brain tissue has softened and collapsed; without support, it will compress the nerves... This is quite bad!"

Yang Ming also stared at the brain tissue resembling tofu curd, shaking his head in silence!

The success rate of this surgery was very low!

How to differentiate when debriding necrotic tissue?

Carelessly, the normal tissue could be removed.

Those outside watching the surgery were even more silent!

Could this surgery be done?

At that moment, Chen Cang spoke up:

"Suction device, please!"

The little nurse on the side quickly nodded and handed it over.

Chen Cang held the suction device with one hand to begin suction from the necrotic lesion, while he steadied the bipolar coagulation forceps with the other!

The upcoming surgery was a serious challenge.

Chen Cang's movements were very controlled.

Even though he could clearly see the red necrotic tissue and yellow damaged tissue, the cranial and abdominal cavities are different; one cannot operate recklessly!

In this way, when encountering bleeding vessels, Chen Cang performed coagulation.

Gradually clearing, starting from the brain surface and gradually clearing deeper, forming a concave bottom shape in the cortex.

As time ticked by.

Chen Cang's hands were incredibly steady!

Putting down the bipolar coagulator, he picked up a needle and thread, carefully suturing the vessels in the yellow area.

The entire process was exceedingly long!

But it couldn't be rushed at all!

Patience and meticulousness were required.

Just like this, even as those around felt drowsiness fill their hearts.

They suddenly saw the brain tissue restore pulsation!

Immediately, everyone woke up!

Because!

The complete removal of necrotic tissue was marked by the brain softening, subsiding, and restoring pulsation.

Did Chen Cang succeed?
