The surgery had ended. However, the surgery's live broadcast room was still open.
Everyone was a little puzzled. At that moment, the bullet screen started to flood with comments.
[Is the surgery done? Could it be that the surgeon is going to perform A TWO-HIT COMBO?]
[ it's been a long time since I've performed a two-hit Combo. Please pray that the surgeon will perform neurosurgery.]
[You're going to beg? It's useless even if you kneel and lick their feet. Young man, it's already good enough to have a surgery to watch. Moreover, the future development of neurosurgery is also going to be interventional surgery, right? @interventional surgeon]
The interventional surgeon saw that someone had mentioned him, but he did not respond immediately. His mind was in a mess. He was still immersed in the surgery's procedures just now.
It was too awesome. If he were not watching it through a screen, he might have really kneeled down and licked his feet.
It was a pity that it was a foreign hospital. Otherwise, he would have died. Even if he had to resign, he would still have to study.
[Why isn't the live broadcast room closed yet? It can't really be a two-hit Combo, right?]
[It would be better to perform surgery during an entire night.]
[Speaking of which, it's so late for such a long surgery. Looking at the time, it's possible that the surgeon's in Canada.]
[Right! I only realized it after you said that. It's 4.15pm in Beijing now and should be 3.15am in Canada.]
[…Are all Canadians this tough when it comes to surgery? Do they all work so early in the morning?]
[That's weird but who cares? It's the end of the workday anyway. It would be great if I could really perform surgery for the entire night.]
The bullet comments flew across the screen. Not long after, lights and shadows began to flash as the live broadcast started up again.
The doctors with their quick hands immediately went to look at the patient's medical records and information. However, they were all shocked to realize that it was actually the previous patient.
[Damn… It's still the previous patient. The information hasn't changed.]
[This is the second time the surgery has been performed?]
[This can't be. The surgery just now was done exceptionally well. I don't see any problems. ]
[@interventional doctor, tell me. The time has come when I need you.]
The interventional doctor was also stunned for a moment. It was then that he realized that the image in front of him seemed to be a CT image.
Was the surgeon going to perform radiofrequency ablation?
Usually, radiofrequency ablation did not require one to waste so much time on embolic surgery. Some iodine oil was floating inside the tumor as a location. Then, after one or two weeks, it would be directly burned.
The second-grade hospital that he was in did not have radiofrequency ablation equipment. He had only come into contact with it a few years ago when he went to the Capital to study.
In theory, radiofrequency ablation was equivalent to surgical resection.
However, that was only in theory.
He was not sure about the specifics.
Therefore, he could only remain silent when others tagged him.
At this moment, his heart was already soaring. He was extremely eager to further his studies and learn more about this.
The interventional doctor was an ordinary, middle-aged man. He rarely talked about his ambitions. It was not that he did not have any, but because he just did not dare to mention them out loud.
No matter how boring a middle-aged man was, as long as he said his ambitions, he would be able to make people laugh.
At this moment, his ambitions that had already been covered in dust suddenly shone with a dazzling light.
Life had already given him everything he wanted. However, they could not remove the ambitions in his heart. While his ambitions could make people laugh, he was still firm about them.
In the CT image, an irregular tumor with a diameter of 4cm could be seen. More than half the doctors watching the live broadcast did not know what the surgeon was going to do.
Radiofrequency ablation. Although the surgical method had already been invented, it was usually only carried out at large scale cities above the provincial capital in the country.
[Radiofrequency ablation? I remember that radiofrequency ablation should be done within one to two weeks after interventional embolization for the most ideal results.]
[There is also advice that it's good to do radiofrequency directly after interventional embolization. Whether this is accurate or not, no one really knows as there has been no large data sample yet to date.]
[The surgeon performed two surgeries in a row. Awesome!]
There were only a few bullet comments from those who were not professionals. Everyone only had a rough understanding of what was going on. As such, no one was confident enough to talk about the specifics.
The first needle appeared on the chest wall's right side. The needle entered the right side of the chest wall and pierced through the diaphragm into the tumor tissue.
[Damn… He's too bold.]
[Do you really not know how to PNEUMOTHORAX? I'm waiting online for the answer. It's quite urgent.]
[Thanks for the invitation! The location of the patient's tumor is closer to the right upper edge of the liver. The best way to completely remove it is to insert the needle from the chest wall. However, the complications that can occur from this are very headache-inducing but not too serious. It's just PNEUMOTHORAX.]
[PNEUMOTHORAX, it's still just, it's still just. UPSTAIRS, you're too arrogant.]
[If a pneumothorax appears, does it count as a medical accident?]
[Who knows? Maybe there are no medical disputes in Canada. I heard that the Montreal General Hospital needed thousands of Canadian dollars to fill out a medical report. This is a shortage of supply. Who would dare to cause trouble? Those who did would simply be blacklisted.]
[Just take a good look at everything. Your bullet comments are blocking my view.]
One, two, three needles were inserted. They began to heat up and melt.
The melting time was relatively long, and the images did not change. Everyone began to chat.
The interventional doctor was completely dumbfounded.
In the surgery's live broadcast room, the surgical standard displayed by the surgeon was already completely incomprehensible to him.
Three radiofrequency needles were inserted into the tumor tissue from different angles. One of the needles was pierced through the chest cavity.
Was it actually possible?
Medical science was progressing very quickly. The thoracotomy and laparotomy operations twenty years ago were now mostly replaced by thoracoscopy and laparoscopy.
Who could be sure that in twenty years, thoracoscopy and laparoscopy would not be replaced by a brand-new surgical method that was more efficient?
What the bullet messages said on-screen before were just speculations by interventional doctors.
However, when he saw the radiofrequency needle start to heat up and burn the tumor tissue, he was very sure that the surgeon's technique must have been tried and tested and would definitely work.
However… Canada was really far away. Moreover, even if he went there, who would care for him?
Fifteen minutes later, the radiofrequency needle was taken out and a CT scan of the abdomen and chest was performed again.
There was no gas or fluid in the chest.
There was no fluid in the abdominal cavity. The liver tumor was completely burned at the location marked by the Lipiodol.
The area of cauterization was 0.5cm wider than the edge of the tumor tissue.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to burn the tumor. If there was residual tumor tissue, it would lead to the possibility of more surgery in the future.
On the image, although the edge of the tumor tissue was irregular, the cauterization of the radiofrequency needle burn was also irregular.
Obviously, the surgeon had tailored a plan for the patient according to the tumor itself rather than following the standard.
Accurate and precise!
It was as if done flawlessly by a machine.
This was a flawless surgery.
Even doctors who did not know how to perform interventional surgery could see that all the patient's tumor tissue had been burned off when looking at the abdominal CT scan.
The effect was no different from surgical removal.
However, the injuries suffered by the patient were worlds apart. The patient could be out and about within four to six hours after radiofrequency ablation. On the other hand, a patient after hepatectomy would probably have to stay in bed for three days after the surgery.
In the surgery's live broadcast room, there was silence.
There were no bullet messages flying around on the screen until the live broadcast room was closed. After another ten minutes, a bullet message suddenly flew past.
[That was too f*cking awesome that words can't begin to even describe it.]
