A total of five people wrapped themselves tightly in sterile coats and masks, and then stood in front of the operating table...

At this time, the anesthesiologist had already administered general anesthesia through the spine... The patient had been anesthetized and turned over on the operating bed, waiting for Johnny to operate on him...

"The vital signs are stable...surgery is possible!" the anesthesiologist carefully reported to Liu Jinshan, director of Johnny's Department of Surgery.

"Professor Johnny, would you like to start the operation now?" Liu Jinshan asked Professor Johnny cautiously.

Johnny nodded, then looked at Xu Ze beside him, and said with a smile: "Then let's get started..."

The patient was lying prone on the operating bed. The hair on the back of his head had already been shaved, leaving only a bare patch...

"Xu...you should do the preparations first..." Professor Johnny was very cautious. Although he desperately wanted to test Xu Ze's ability, he was not crazy enough to let Xu Ze perform surgery at will.

Therefore, he decided to let Xu Ze carry out the preparation work before the operation. If it was done well, he would not mind letting Xu Ze continue with the initial stage of the operation. Of course, if it didn't work, then naturally he would not let Xu Ze continue...

Liu Jinshan next to him looked at Xu Ze with jealousy. Director Liu Da was confused as to why Professor Johnny would find such a young person to be his surgical assistant.

If Professor Johnny asks him to do the preparation work, he will be very happy. Since he is an assistant, he will naturally be able to stand in the best surgical position to assist Professor Johnny in completing the surgery, and he can also stand in the best position.

From an angle, let’s learn about this difficult surgery...

Unfortunately, all this is not him, but a senior student who was a trainee in the first affiliated school of Xingxing University more than half a year ago...

However, although Director Liu Jinshan was in charge of the Department of Surgery at the First Affiliated University of Singapore, it was not his turn to make the final decision here...

Hearing Johnny's words and the faintly smiling eyes above his mask, Xu Ze smiled lightly, then nodded, walked forward, and took the tweezers handed over by the nurse next to him.

He began to pick up the complex iodine cotton ball in the sterilization tube next to him, and began to sterilize the back of the patient's head from the inside out...

Looking at Xu Ze's skillful disinfection movements and the standard scope of disinfection, Johnny nodded secretly and thought to himself: "It seems that this kid really knows how to do this surgery... at least the preparations

But it’s done well…”

After Xu Ze had finished disinfecting and put on surgical towels, Johnny stood next to Xu Ze and looked at the disinfection situation. He nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "...Xu... You can open the cranial opening first..."

"Craniotomy? Me?" Xu Ze pointed at himself in astonishment and asked in surprise.

"Yes... you... it's you..." Johnny said with a smile as he saw the shock on Xu Ze's face.

"Oh...Okay!" Looking at Johnny's appearance that didn't seem to be fake, Xu Ze couldn't help but smile softly, then nodded, and began to prepare for the operation...

Liu Jinshan, who was standing next to him, finally couldn't help it anymore and looked at Johnny in surprise: "Professor Johnny... this surgery is an extremely difficult one. Do you really want your assistant to do it?"

"Haha... Don't worry, Director Liu, he is just doing the preliminary craniotomy. I will do the removal of the glioma myself..." Johnny was extremely confident in Xu Ze at this time. He believed that Xu Ze was good at such an early stage of the operation.

The craniotomy should not be a big problem.

Xu Ze grabbed the scalpel handed over by the nurse on the side, and then gently began to operate on the back of the patient's head...

The operation here is not actually a real craniotomy. The back of the brain, just behind the skull, only requires a small incision of the skull...

So relatively speaking, the initial operation is actually not complicated. An ordinary neurosurgeon with a little experience can easily complete it...

At this time, the doctors who watched the operation on TV saw that Professor Johnny actually asked Xu Ze to be his assistant. Many of them began to talk about how Professor Johnny allowed such a young person to undergo surgery.

Someone as an assistant?

However, there are also people who are relatively familiar with Xu Ze, that is, the director of abdominal surgery. He has heard of Xu Ze's hands-on ability. At first, he wanted to snatch Xu Ze from the emergency department, but failed...but he didn't expect it.

, Xu Ze actually appeared here and became Professor Johnny's assistant...

In his opinion, with Xu Ze's ability, there shouldn't be any problems...

Of course, Xu Ze did not live up to his expectations. He easily cut the skin on the back of the head, and then gently wiped away the gushing blood with gauze... Then he carefully cut open the skull, exposing the entire cranial cavity near the thalamus.

In the surgical field…

Xu Ze carefully wiped away the blood seeping out of the entire surgical field, and then looked at the small tumor near the thalamus that was hidden deep inside several small nerves. Xu Ze frowned slightly inadvertently, and then

Putting down the gauze in his hand, he took two steps back, looked at Johnny and said, "Professor...has opened the surgical field..."

"It's done well..." Johnny next to him has been watching Xu Ze's movements carefully. After all, although this craniotomy is not too difficult and usually there will be no problems, he still watches carefully.

Until Xu Ze put down the scalpel...

He naturally knew the circumstances of Xu Ze's operation, and also knew that Xu Ze had perfectly completed the preliminary preparations for the operation and successfully opened the skull...

"Okay... Get ready to officially start the operation..." Naturally, Johnny couldn't let Xu Ze do the next operation. After all, this operation is no small matter. If he is not careful, the operation will fail and the patient will die on the spot... That's why this operation is

It is classified as the most difficult surgery in the world...

Professor Johnny stood where Xu Ze was standing just now, and Xu Ze stood on Johnny's right. On the left were Director of General Surgery Liu Jinshan and Director of Neurosurgery...

"Tweezers..." Johnny stretched out his hand, without looking back, and said to the equipment nurse on the side.

The instrument nurse quickly handed over a pair of tweezers and handed them to Professor Johnny.

Professor Johnny used tweezers to gently open up the skin and muscles on both sides, and finally saw what was going on inside...

I carefully observed the situation inside... But when I looked at it, my face suddenly turned ugly...

Seeing that Professor Johnny's face suddenly turned ugly, Liu Jinshan and the director of neurosurgery beside him quickly stretched their heads to take a look...

Upon closer inspection, the two of them were dumbfounded...

The thalamus is exposed to everyone, but the small tumor is hidden under a few nerves. The nerves wrap the small tumor tightly. If you want to cut the tumor, you must first

Bypassing these nerves the size of hair...

But who can easily peel off the small nerves that are so tightly wrapped around the tumor... If you are not careful, if any nerve is broken or damaged, it may cause harm to the patient.

Sudden accidents or even death...

Who can still be confident in performing such an operation? These few nerves have completely made this operation more difficult. At least now, it seems that compared with the first 70% success rate, it has dropped to less than 1%.

ten…

Johnny looked at the small tumor wrapped by nerves with a sullen face, then used the magnifying glass on his forehead to observe it for a long time, and finally shook his head gently.

Then he turned to look at Liu Jinshan next to him and said in a deep voice: "In this case... the success rate has dropped to the lowest point... it will not exceed 10%... You can ask the family members to see if they still want to do it..."

After hearing Johnny's words, Liu Jinshan hesitated slightly. He remembered that Professor Johnny and Professor Peter had agreed to do this surgery, but they had guaranteed a high success rate. Then he persuaded his family and the hospital would subsidize part of the cost;

After the family agreed, they paid over 100,000 to ask these two professors to come and perform the surgery...

If this was suddenly stopped midway, it would be difficult to explain to the patient’s family...

Naturally, Xu Ze already knew about this situation. Professor Johnny and Liu Jinshan here said this, but Xu Ze interrupted: "Professor Johnny, this patient's tumor is now close to one centimeter. If this continues,

, it is impossible for the patient to survive more than two months..."

Everyone listened to Xu Ze's words and understood what he meant. Generally speaking, this operation is absolutely necessary. If this patient does not have it, he can live for at most two months; if he does it, there is still a glimmer of hope.

...but the consequence is that either the operation is successful or he dies on the operating table...

Originally, the operation was risky, and the family members also signed it, but no one is willing to take such a risk with a high probability of problems, unless the patient's family members sign and agree again... This life and death matter... they dare

Take this knife...

Everyone knows what Xu Ze means, that is direct surgery, there is no other way...

Liu Jinshan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay...I will go out and talk to the family members. If they agree...then we will do it. If not...then the head will be sealed..."

The doctors outside by the TV also heard the conversation inside. Although the cameras were all high-definition, they still couldn't see clearly the specific situation of the thalamus, but they heard the words of these three people.

, now everyone was shocked, knowing that there might be other problems with this operation...

Liu Jinshan has not been out for too long, but Xu Ze feels as if a long time has passed... He now knows the patient's condition very well. This kind of glioblastoma grows extremely fast, and it will take at most one month to invade.

The thalamus, and once the tumor cells invade the thalamus, this patient will die from cerebral herniation or central respiratory failure in just more than half a month at most...
