Chapter 723 I’m better than you
After examining the patient, Liu Maqiao arrived at the House Hotel.
There are about ten people gathered in the small conference room here, including Peng Qianlong.
Including myself, there are 6 experts.
There was no introduction to the other people, and it was hard for Liu Muqiao to ask. Besides, he was not interested.
6 experts met.
Two of them are actually from China.
The other three are Professor Xiuze from Japan, Professor Li Guangyi from Singapore, and Professor Angpa from India.
They are all intestinal experts and liver surgery experts.
Originally, intestinal surgery and liver surgery were different disciplines within the sub-discipline, but they belong to one large discipline, usually called "general surgery".
The more high-level hospitals you are in, the more strict the division of specialties. It is not easy to find a doctor who is proficient in both intestinal surgery and liver surgery.
But there are still.
Some doctors are very talented and cannot get enough of one specialized subject, so they often engage in a second subject.
If they work part-time in a second discipline, their interest will often be very high. Therefore, doctors who are proficient in two disciplines will have high standards in both disciplines.
The five doctors gathered here are from China, one is from Hua Shi and the other is from Beijing. They are all experts in colorectal surgery and liver surgery.
Japanese Xiuze was engaged in liver surgery in his early years. Later he studied intestinal surgery and became quite famous in Asia.
The characteristic of his surgery is that the surgical field is extremely clean. He rarely uses electric scalpel or ultrasonic scalpel. He directly uses a scalpel blade.
The disadvantage of using a scalpel blade is that there will be more bleeding, but it can control the amount of bleeding very well.
For a case of colon cancer, the total bleeding volume will not exceed 50 ml, which requires considerable technology.
50 ml. Even with an electric knife, it is difficult to control this amount. It is common for bleeding to reach 200 ml, and sometimes it exceeds 500 ml.
Another advantage of Xiuze, which is also a key skill for him, is his tumor dissection, which is very powerful.
He has been practicing medicine for 40 years, and there are very few cases of recurrence after surgery due to inability to clean up the surgery. Especially after he became famous, the record of zero recurrence rate has been maintained until now, 30 years ago.
Li Guangyi from Singapore has been working in the United States and has only returned to Singapore in recent years. He is good at liver surgery and also performs colorectal surgery. He is the main doctor at the Mayo Clinic.
The Mayo Clinic is one of the largest hospitals in the United States and competes with Hopkins Hospital. They are the first-tier hospitals in the world.
What Li Guangyi is best at is the difficulty of surgery. His temporary designs on stage are often unique, and it is later proven that his design is the best solution.
Angpa is a famous international throwing knife.
He is an active figure in the "alliance". His characteristics are his broad knowledge, calmness in times of crisis, and strong emergency response capabilities.
He can handle even the most complicated surgeries.
Each of these people has its own characteristics.
After Liu Muqiao read their information, the surgery discussion began.
Of course they also read Liu Miqiao's information.
The information about Liu Miqiao was provided by Peng Qianlong, who had an objective evaluation of Liu Miqiao.
Liu Muqiao read his own comments and felt strange.
Is this me?
Am I that awesome?
Or maybe the description is not accurate - am I such an imbecile?
It has been decided that Liu Miqiao will be the chief surgeon. Now it is time to select 3 from the other 5 experts to provide first, second and third assistance respectively.
Of course, the two or three assistants are not set in stone. If the colorectal surgery is arranged this way, the liver surgery may be reversed.
Their assistant positions are determined based on their different understandings of colorectal surgery and liver surgery.
All five of them hope to be selected by Liu Miqiao.
It is also a great honor to be recognized by Liu Muqiao.
They are familiar with Liu Muqiao. There have been rumors for almost a year. It would be a shame if people in the world don't know Liu Muqiao.
All five of them made a prospective analysis of the operation and put forward their own ideas.
None of them mentioned the problem of adhesions.
It was Liu Muqiao's turn to speak.
"This operation is far more difficult than we expected. It can be seen from the MRI that the tumor has been extensively infiltrated, and there are adhesions in the peritoneum and intestines. I will use my pioneering removal surgery to reassemble the intestines.
I estimate that there will be at least 5 anastomoses."
As soon as Liu Muqiao finished speaking, Xiuze shook his head suddenly, and Angpa also shook his head.
"It's not that complicated, it's impossible."
They have all seen MRI films.
They are also experts in imaging.
Xiuze picked up the MRI film and looked at it again, and said, "Not a single lymph node is swollen, where is the infiltration coming from?"
According to conventional understanding, if there is abdominal metastasis, there should be lymph node enlargement, and the first place to metastasize must be the lymph nodes.
Now, it can be said that the abdominal cavity is very clean, how could there be extensive infiltration?
Although several other people did not raise objections, they did not agree with Liu Miqiao's analysis. The surgery would not be so complicated.
Liu Muqiao smiled and said: "My judgment is not wrong. Of course, your judgment is well-founded. There is no swollen lymph nodes. I am also wondering, how can there be no swollen lymph nodes? But, the fact is
My ability to read MRI and CT scans is better than yours, and I can clearly see cancer infiltration. Anyone who is willing to go on stage with me, even if you don’t agree with my point of view, must force yourself to believe me."

Everyone is no longer calm.
Okay, I'll pretend to agree with you and we'll see on the operating table.
The five people no longer insist on their own opinions, they all want to go to the operating table.
Peng Qianlong and this patient are both important figures in the "alliance", and the number of knives thrown depends on their attitudes.
The more flying knives they make for you, the more money you will make. A single flying knife can earn tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. In one year, it is very easy to make an extra million.
They all want to express themselves.
Liu Miqiao told Peng Qianlong and Aileen: "The patient's condition is significantly different from the initial estimate. I want to correct some of the initial mistakes. The patient belongs to stage four, with both local infiltration and distant metastasis. The operation is more difficult.
However, it is not a problem. The surgery can be performed and there will be no problem with the cleaning. I will check it myself. Do you have any questions to ask?"
"Prognosis, the key is prognosis. I believe you in surgery." Peng Qianlong said.
"Does he believe in Chinese medicine? I mean the patient."
Peng Qianlong shook his head.
I’m not Chinese, I don’t have Chinese medicine culture, I don’t believe it.
Liu Muqiao smiled and said: "We have to find a way to convince him. To be honest, with pure Western medicine, patients have a high chance of metastasis after surgery. I hope that if he takes the traditional Chinese medicine I prescribe, the 5-year survival rate can be greatly improved."

Eileen said: "Since this is the case, we tried hard to convince him. However, my father was very disgusted with Chinese medicine and said that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience."
