Chapter 914, Intestinal Carbuncle Removal Surgery (Supplement)
In the Affiliated Hospital of Daming Medical College, preparations for an operation are in full swing.
The doctor who performed the surgery was the famous Professor Zhang Zhigang of Daming Medical College. With the establishment of the Daming Medical Journal, Professor Zhang Zhigang was promoted many times. He is now the most famous authority on gastroenterology in Daming at home and abroad.
The entire operating room was lit with whale oil lamps. The whale oil lamps were emitted through the mirrors arranged in the operating room, illuminating the entire operating room. There was a specially designed glass lamp above the operating table. The lamp is very bright, has multiple light holes, and the direction of the illumination can be adjusted. There is no shadow wherever it is illuminated.
Beside the operating table, many doctors in white coats were ready, and all surgical instruments had been disinfected with high-purity alcohol.
At the same time, patients who need surgery have also been anesthetized and are lying quietly on the operating bed, waiting for the operation.
Beside the operating room, Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi, and Xiao Jing also put on white coats and sat quietly waiting for the operation to begin.
Emperor Hongzhi was never very confident about using surgery to remove intestinal appendages. After all, he would need to disembowel himself. For this reason, he didn't know how many times he asked Liu Jin.
Liu Jin, who was a little annoyed by the question, could only use this method to ask Emperor Hongzhi to watch the operation in person, so that he would have an intuitive understanding and enhance his confidence.
"Your Majesty, the patient has been anesthetized and cannot feel any pain while under anesthesia."
Liu Jin also acted as a commentator. Although it was his first time to see this surgery, he still knew a few things.
"Why can this anesthetic make people unable to feel any pain?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought for a while and asked.
"The main way we feel pain in the human body is through the nerves in the body, and anesthesia acts on the nerves, making people unable to feel pain."
"However, after the medicine wears off, you will still feel pain, but the surgery is over and the pain is bearable."
Liu Jin explained very patiently.
"I see."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded as if he understood.
Here, everything about the operation has been arranged, and Zhang Zhigang also said: "Let's get started."
As Zhang Zhigang's order was issued, the entire surgical team quickly became busy.
"Why use a piece of cloth to cover other places and leave only one area?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the operating table. A doctor covered the patient with a piece of cloth, leaving only an area where surgery was needed. This made him very confused.
"Your Majesty, this is mainly to prevent unnecessary interference and cover other areas so that the surgeon who performs the surgery can focus more on the operation without being distracted by other areas."
"You see this piece of cloth is green. Green cloth is less likely to cause visual fatigue and is conducive to surgery."
"In addition, this surgical cloth is also sterilized and can be used to prevent wound infection and bacterial contamination. Of course, the most important thing is to protect the patient's privacy."
"Sometimes if you encounter a need to treat female patients, it can play a very good role in protecting privacy."
Liu Jin introduced it to Emperor Hongzhi in detail.
Watching the operation for the first time, Emperor Hongzhi seemed like a curious baby and wanted to ask many questions. Liu Jin also patiently explained to Emperor Hongzhi.
Here, Zhang Zhigang also started to cut open the patient's stomach with a sharp scalpel. He was very skilled and experienced and started to cut layer by layer, and then found the location of the appendix.
The wound was not big, only the length of a middle finger.
Zhang Zhigang was performing an operation, while Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin watched carefully from the side, in order to allow Emperor Hongzhi to see clearly without disturbing Zhang Zhigang's operation.
Several guards specially carried Emperor Hongzhi and lifted him up so that he could see clearly.
Zhang Zhigang is already extremely experienced in performing this operation. During this time, he has been performing several operations on intestinal abscesses almost every day.
Of course, most of the time, I was a slave. While performing surgery, I continued to improve and explore, and the success rate of the surgery began to rise linearly.
Zhang Zhigang found the appendix very skillfully, then used silk thread to ligate the place where the appendix connects with the intestines, and then skillfully removed the appendix.
When the surgical forceps were used to remove the patient's appendix, a foul smell filled the air. Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but cover his nose, but he stared at it carefully.
"Your Majesty, this is an intestinal carbuncle. Normal people should not have redness, blackness, or cysts like this."
Liu Jin endured the stench and explained to Emperor Hongzhi.
"Is this the same with my intestinal abscess?"
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and pinched his nose and asked.
"It should be about the same. It's all intestinal carbuncle disease. Because of this rotten intestine, His Majesty has been suffering from loss of appetite and indigestion. This has also led to His Majesty's health getting worse and worse."
"This patient's condition is highly similar to His Majesty's. He also has loss of appetite, indigestion, and weight loss."
Liu Jin thought for a while and nodded.
"This discussion explains why intestinal carbuncle can be cured."
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked again.
"Your Majesty, fighting intestinal carbuncle is like cutting off the rotten flesh on the body. If the rotten flesh on the body is not cut off, it will continue to rot and affect the areas that are not rotten. After fighting off the rotten areas, not only
It can prevent further decay and protect areas where there are no problems."
"This is the principle of surgical treatment of intestinal carbuncle."
Liu Jin thought for a while and explained.
"That's it~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. He could understand Liu Jin's statement.
With a wave of his hand, the surgeon who performed the surgery immediately removed the smelly intestinal abscess, and Emperor Hongzhi continued to look at it.
After discussing the appendix, Zhang Zhigang quickly began to suture the wound. In less than a stick of incense, the wound was re-sutured and some specially developed wound-healing medicine was applied. The operation was considered complete.
Of course, whether it can be considered a success depends on the subsequent recovery.
In this era when there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, etc., the risks of surgery are actually very high, especially surgeries designed to go into the body.
"His Majesty!"
After the operation, Zhang Zhigang came to Emperor Hongzhi and asked him for instructions.
"This surgery was done very quickly!"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the operating table and saw that the patient had begun to be transferred to the hospital for recovery.
"If I get back to Your Majesty, today's operation went very smoothly. There was no major bleeding or any problems. It should be said to be a very successful one. I will only need to stay in the hospital for a while to recuperate."
Zhang Zhigang looked at Emperor Hongzhi and replied.
To be honest, Zhang Zhigang was also very stressed when he learned that he was going to perform an operation on Emperor Hongzhi to treat intestinal abscess. The man who came to see him for treatment turned out to be today.
Fortunately, Liu Jin gave him a lot of support and comfort. In addition, he has been performing this operation repeatedly in the past two months, and has accumulated rich experience. Now he is familiar with it.
, and also more confident.
"Well, I've worked hard for you during this time."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Zhigang's haggard look, and said.
"Your Majesty, this is our bounden duty as doctors. What's more, it is my honor to be able to relieve your Majesty's worries."
Zhang Zhigang quickly replied seriously.
"Well, let's go and rest."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and after speaking, he and Liu Jin left the operating room.
After seeing the operation in person, Emperor Hongzhi felt more confident.
This surgery to remove intestinal abscess was not as scary as I imagined, requiring disembowelment or something like that.
The incision was very small. It was not a disembowelment at all. It was just a small wound on the belly. After it was sewn up with a needle and thread, nothing happened.
At the same time, Emperor Hongzhi also saw the removed intestinal carbuncle. It smelled bad, was black, and red. With such a piece of intestine inside the body, it is strange that this person's health can be good. Sooner or later, he will be killed by this rotten intestine.
Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi also felt that he should have surgery to remove the rotten intestines so that his body could get better.
In the next few days, Emperor Hongzhi would personally come over every day to see the patient who had undergone intestinal abscess resection. At first, the patient was still very weak and could only eat some porridge and water.
But as the body slowly recovered, the patient's appetite became better and better, and he could gradually eat rice and pasta, and his complexion gradually improved.
After two days, he could get out of bed and walk around. After a few days, he was no different from a normal person. At the same time, his appetite was getting better and better, his complexion was getting better and better, and his body recovered quickly.
.
Emperor Hongzhi saw this change in person. Seeing is believing. He saw and heard everything in person. Emperor Hongzhi truly believed it.
Liu Jin would come over every day to accompany Emperor Hongzhi to visit, go for a walk, and relax with Emperor Hongzhi. In fact, Liu Jin could understand Emperor Hongzhi's desire to see it in person.
No matter who you are, you take your own life very seriously, not to mention that Emperor Hongzhi is still an emperor. When it concerns his own life, no one will believe it. He would rather believe his own eyes and ears and believe what he sees.
of, what was heard.
Only in this way will he feel more at ease and at ease, which is the effect Liu Jin wants.
