From the anatomical view of the donor's liver, it is obvious that if it is a mild fatty liver, excess fat will tend to be evenly and diffusely deposited in the liver.
Qiu Ruiyun was overthinking it. This liver was at least a very mild form of fatty liver. There were no yellow fat particles, and it was not at all a moderate fat index. It was just that it was larger than the recipient.
It is very likely that the recipient is less than 1.7 meters tall and is on the short side. If the donor is 1.9 meters tall, he will definitely weigh more than a person over 1.6 meters tall, and the weight and volume of the liver will increase accordingly.
The human liver grows in proportion to its own body weight, not the same weight for everyone.
How can one third of the liver be cut off so that it can enter the recipient's body?
The most important thing the surgeon needs to consider is how many incisions are needed to achieve the goal. It is best not to talk too much and just do it with one incision. This way the damage to the liver source is minimal and is conducive to the patient's future recovery after transplantation.
Should the entire right half of the liver be preserved or the left half be cut? Time is running out, so make a decision quickly.
Deputy Director Xue's brows tightened: How to perform this knife? Is there a perfect knife?
"What do you think, Doctor Tao?" The surgeon asked Yishu for his opinion.
Because newcomers don’t have this kind of practical experience, it’s useless to ask. Just asking about the theory is just to test the students.
Tao Zhijie, like the surgeon, had been thinking about this practical issue all the way, so he didn't say anything openly. Now the surgeon came to ask him, and he said in a calm and thoughtful voice: "I want to ask someone for their thoughts first."
"Ask." He agreed at first, but after thinking about it, Deputy Director Xue became curious again, "Who do you want to ask?"
Everyone thought he was going to ask other assistants around him or Song Xuelin.
Unexpectedly, Tao Zhijie raised his head, and the gaze in his eyes suddenly pointed at Xie Wanying, who was standing behind Song Xuelin in front.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the person he was looking at.
"You want to ask her?" Deputy Director Xue's tone showed disbelief, even a hint of dissatisfaction.
Never mess around during a major surgery.
"Just a question." Tao Zhijie said with a smile to the leader.
"Ask." It's just a harmless question. Maybe the assistant wants to get some inspiration. Deputy Director Xue readily agreed. He didn't expect a female intern to make any contribution at a critical major surgical node.
.
"Go put on the surgical gown and stand here with me." Tao Zhijie said to her.
Senior Brother Tao's friendly voice seemed to relieve her pressure. Xie Wanying also knew why Senior Brother Tao asked her. Senior Brother Tao probably heard about the uniqueness of her surgical thinking somewhere.
Quickly putting on the surgical gown and gloves with the help of the nurse, Xie Wanying walked around the end of the operating bed and came to the opposite side. Dr. Gong Xiangbin made room for her, and she stood on the left hand side of Senior Brother Tao.
Now she could zoom in at a close distance instead of squeezing into a small gap, and the surgical field became very clear in her eyes.
It was a new surgery that she had never seen before, which made her feel excited. If she hadn't been on a mission, she would just want to greedily observe every detail in the surgical field and think about it thoroughly.
Tick-tick-tick is the sound of a pointer sliding on the wall in the quiet operating room. Compared with other surgeries, the liver transplant operation in front of him requires the doctor to pay more attention to the time rather than the patient's heartbeat on the ECG monitor.
