In the ward.

Lao Zhang was in a deep sleep. It was eight hours since his operation was over, but under the influence of the drug, he had not yet woken up.

Around his bed, doctors and nurses were closely guarding his sign information to ensure that Lao Zhang did not experience any postoperative complications.

In a daze, Lao Zhang blinked his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.

He felt like he had a very long dream, and he almost couldn't wake up from the dream.

"The patient is awake!"

When the doctor and nurse who were accompanying the bed opened their eyes, they immediately became energetic when they saw him. A young nurse even snatched the door and went out to find Director Li.

In fact, under normal circumstances, even if it is a lung transplant, it will not be treated so seriously, but this operation is really too special.

Even Director Li, the department director, is always on standby 24 hours a day, always thinking about Lao Zhang’s situation.

Within five minutes, Director Li hurried to the ICU ward.

"How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable if you feel hypoxia?" Director Li asked with great concern.

Now Lao Zhang is not breathing independently, but uses a ventilator to perform invasive breathing, which means he opens a hole in his neck and connects it to the ventilator and directly uses the ventilator to provide oxygen. He does not need to breathe himself.

Lao Zhang felt it. Although he was a little uncomfortable, it was still normal. He did not feel the feeling of hypoxia and suffocation, so he slowly shook his head.

"Doctor, it hurts..."

Lao Zhang shouted pain, but it didn't make the medical staff anxious. It was normal for pain. After such a big surgery, the effect of the anesthetics has almost passed. If there is no pain, there will be ghosts.

It will be very painful for the next two days. After these two days, the pain will gradually begin to weaken.

"It's okay, this is normal. If you persist for two days, it won't hurt so much."

Director Li held down his glasses and said in a whisper: "We will give you a breathing test to see your lung function."

"I will stop the ventilator in a while. You try to breathe by yourself and feel whether you have difficulty breathing."

After Lao Zhang nodded, Director Li made a gesture, and the nurse immediately operated the ventilator. The ventilator that was originally stably supplying oxygen to Lao Zhang stopped.

It is worth mentioning that the ventilator used in the hospital is also Ruikang's Kirin series ventilator.

After the oxygen supply was cut off, Lao Zhang felt a sensation of hypoxia, and the conditioned reflex opened his mouth and took a big breath.

This was the first breath of air he breathed independently with his transplanted new lung. When the air was sucked into his throat, a shocked expression appeared on Lao Zhang's face.

This is a moment of rebirth!

Just like a baby comes out of his mother's belly, the first breath of air he breathes, it is so fresh and so happy!

Since suffering from pneumoconiosis, Lao Zhang has never felt this feeling of breathing happily again!

Although he didn't have much strength to speak, the tears at the corner of his eyes truly reflected his excitement and joy to the doctor.

"The operation is very successful! The patient breathes independently normally!"

In the ward, a burst of fierce applause rang out.

Even though he had undergone countless lung transplants and had seen many patients who had reborn after a lung replacement, Director Li was still very happy and excited.

Lung transplantation is difficult and has high risk, but why is the lung transplantation still exist?

It is because the moment when the patient is reborn is so beautiful and touching!

Even now, lung transplantation is the only treatment for many end-stage benign lung diseases!

However, since the United States completed its first human lung transplant surgery in 1963, nearly seventy years have passed, and lung transplantation has finally opened a new chapter.

From now on, more patients with terminal lung disease will have the opportunity to replace a new lung, and organ transplant surgery will become more and more common, from a high-end surgery that is difficult for ordinary doctors to access, it will gradually become a surgery that can be popularized among all doctor groups!

Perhaps in the near future, organ transplants will be common like appendicitis removal surgery. This is not a whimsical dream, but an expectation that it may come true!

.........

While Lao Zhang's operation was successful, he was in the Provincial People's Hospital in a district adjacent to Gusu First Hospital.

Han Yingchun's kidney transplant surgery was also very successful.

Compared with transplantation of other organs, kidney transplantation is the easiest operation.

Because kidney transplantation does not require the nephrectomy that was originally lost or failed, but the patient has another kidney transplant.

The entire operation is much simpler than other organ transplants.

The specific surgical operation is to make an oblique incision in the right skeleton fossa, that is, the lumbar fossa next to the navel, and then separate the flesh and blood tissue, exposing a sufficiently long external arteriovenous vein in the extraperitoneal space.

Then put the laundered donor kidney into a vacant position in the skeleton socket, and the free arteriovenous veins are anastomotic with the arteriovenous of the donor kidney. Examination confirms that the blood supply is smooth. After the donor kidney restores blood supply, the ureter on the donor kidney is then combined with the bladder. The operation is completed.

After that, the incision is sutured and a kidney transplant operation is over.

The entire operation is actually connected with three pipes, which is much simpler than other organ transplants, and has a lower risk and a smaller probability of postoperative complications.

Therefore, kidney transplantation is considered to be one of the best success rates and prognosis surgeries among all organ transplants. It is also the most mature organ transplant surgery at present, because kidney donors are also the most common among all organs. After all, people have two kidneys, and direct relatives can cut one kidney for patients...

In this way, patients who underwent kidney transplant surgery had three kidneys. Although the failed kidney may have atrophy into a small bean diced, it is still quite cool to say it out.

At least that's what Han Yingchun, who had just finished the surgery, thinks.

Compared to Lao Zhang, his condition after the operation was much better. At least he didn't have a tube all over his body, just one was inserted, and he was in good spirits.

After all, the entire operation did not do much to the organs in his body. He just had a surgery on his waist and a surgery on the mucosa of the bladder. The trauma he suffered was already very small in the organ transplant.

Even less than five hours after the operation, Han Yingchun was already very awake and could chat with his family.

"This operation was much smoother than I thought. I thought I wouldn't be able to get off the operating table, so I just sent it to the morgue. Fortunately!"

Han Yingchun smashed his mouth and said, feeling very emotional.

Although his waist is still aching, he is still in a very good mood.
Chapter completed!
