Okay, now I have chosen the most difficult technique to perform, but there is not much time left for the surgeon and assistant. The numbers on the electronic clock on the wall jumped to five hours and thirty-two minutes.
The air in the operating room became scorching hot, and the doctors' faces were a little sticky with sweat behind their masks. I heard movement in the operating room next door, and people passing by in the corridor of the operating room were saying, "Dr. Han is on his way back, isn't he?"
"Yes. Fortunately, I was able to use it in time."
"Whether it can be used may have to wait until the heart arrives. How is the surgery going on Dr. Cao's side?"
"It's hard to say. Their donor hearts were far away, and it took a long time to get them back. The heart was least wanted for a long time. Maybe the two operations ended at about the same time."
Tonight's two surgeries both involved unusual donor hearts that challenged the technical limits of transplant doctors.
"It's almost over? Both surgeries should be interatrial anastomosis."
"No. Dr. Cao said that he wants to transplant his whole heart."
Oh my god.——This should be the almost unanimous voice of everyone who heard the answer.
Someone ran to the door of Cao Zhao's operating room and poked his head around, trying to find out how the other party planned to complete this difficult operation.
Do you want to do some magic like a god?
If a surgeon has magic, it is expected to be like the magic revealed by Xie Wanying in pediatric orthopedics. It will be a complete set of surgical techniques combined with theory and practice. Specifically speaking, when it comes to surgery, the doctor's hand work must be as good as the hand.
Only when the equipment is integrated can the superb effect be achieved. This is the warning that Xie received from Teacher Tan early in the morning.
Speaking of which, after practicing for so long, several instructors I have followed each have their own martial arts secrets for the instruments and magic weapons they hold. For example, suturing, the most basic surgical technique, the materials selected by each instructor are closely related to their specialty.
, the handwork you have learned becomes like the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers, it cannot be the same.
In pediatric cardiac surgery, we just mentioned that the anastomotic suture is extremely difficult. How can doctors solve this difficulty?
There are two basic elements of suturing, one is the suturing material, and the other is the suturing technique.
Let’s talk about the suture materials first. Without the use of special instruments such as staplers, the doctor would sew by hand stitch by stitch. The focus of attention is on the suture line. Just for the anastomotic sutures of heart transplantation, the doctor can only sew by hand.
The anastomosis angle of each blood vessel in this place is too tricky, and the flexibility of the suturing operation is too high. The rigid stapler cannot meet these harsh conditions.
How to choose a suture? Let’s talk about the diameter of the suture first. Several zeros represent the thickness of the suture. The line with six zeros is the thinnest. Here is an interesting point. The suture marks have the same number, but the thickness of the material is different.
It’s not all the same, some materials with six zeros may be thicker than another six zeros material. These all need to be explored by the surgeon himself.
OK, the chief surgeon made a sound: six zero lines.
Not surprisingly, since pediatric products are all thin and small, use the thinnest thread for safety.
What material is used for the thread?
The skilled instrument nurse did not need to remind the surgeon, and first threaded a polypropylene suture. This is an excellent non-absorbable suture commonly used in surgery.
As soon as they hear that non-absorbable sutures are used, some patients may become angry and question whether the doctors are seeing bad sutures that the patients don't have money to use.
