Chapter 381 The ultimate cardiac surgery procedure

Amid thunderous applause, Su Jie began the final stitching.

The incision, which was more than fifty centimeters long, slowly closed, and Lu Liang's body began to return to its original shape.

For many doctors, such a huge skin incision may be a challenge, but for Su Jie, who has become accustomed to dancing on the apex of his heart, everything does not seem so complicated.

The joy that the operation was about to be successful made all the blood in Su Jie's body boil. The cold numbness in his hands had long since disappeared. Under Su Jie's operation, the domestic sutures shuttled between Lu Liang's skin like butterflies passing through flowers.

Thread the needle, lead the thread, and close it.

The red clock on the wall finally stopped at six and a half hours.

This is half an hour faster than the two surgeons at the Mayo Center.

"The operation is over."

And just after Su Jie whispered these words, the system in his mind was suddenly activated.

[The ultimate cardiac surgery technique is about to be unlocked...]

This time, the system did not instill a large amount of rewards into Su Jie after he completed a difficult surgery like in the past, pushing him to move forward and grow.

However, Su Jie's heart suddenly became hot, as if this brief sentence made him feel more excited than any reward.

The ultimate cardiac surgery procedure...

Wouldn’t that be a heart transplant?

From the time Su Jie first came into contact with cardiac surgery, he was very clear about the position of cardiac surgery in the entire surgical system.

The brightest jewel in the crown.

But do you think there is no involution within the Pearl?

That doesn't exist.

As the most dazzling one among thousands of pearls, of course it can only be a heart transplant.

However, the system only prompted that it was about to be unlocked, and did not provide the conditions and auxiliary rewards for unlocking, which made Su Jie a little unpredictable.

It was as if the system had recognized Su Jie's level, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a very affirmative tone: "You are already a mature tool man, and you should learn to perform surgeries on your own."

Well, I feel like I'm playing a bit out of line.

After washing his hands, stepping off the stage, and taking off his surgical gown and sterile gloves, Lu Liang, whose vital signs were temporarily stable, was rushed to the intensive care unit.

Su Jie turned around and left the operating room, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and began to read up on heart transplantation.

In December 1967, Dr. Barnard in Cape Town, South Africa, successfully performed the world's first human orthotopic heart transplant. After the transplant, the patient only survived for 18 days due to lung infection.

Soon after, his second heart transplant patient survived for 20 months.

In 1984, cyclosporine began to be widely used in heart transplantation, and since then heart transplantation has entered a stage of rapid development.

Approximately 3,500 people receive heart transplants worldwide every year, and approximately 50,000 heart transplants have been completed worldwide to date.

…

However, after reading these cold data, Su Jie unexpectedly discovered something that caught his eye even more.

"Heart transplant surgery is a blasphemy to the art of surgery."

This sentence is taken from a paper by a foreign doctor. In this paper, the foreign doctor made a point:

Two "golden rules" of surgery...the organ touched by the scalpel must be still, and the surgical field of view must be clear and blood-free.

And operating a knife on the heart is exactly the paradox of these two principles.

The Austrian doctor Bill Roth, the "Father of Surgery", also left such a curse:

"Performing surgery on the heart is a blasphemy to the art of surgery. Anyone who attempts to perform heart surgery will end up in ruins."

Even across the Internet and across the ocean, Su Jie could feel the doctor's deep resentment.

Is this my girlfriend who was snatched away by some heart transplant expert? Do you hate heart transplant surgery so much?

Regarding this argument, Su Jie just looked at Tu Yile. Heart transplant surgery may have many flaws, and there are also many imperfections at present.

But using the old "golden rules" of surgery and the words of a surgical originator who has been buried in the soil for more than two centuries as evidence, trying to prove that cardiac surgery is sacrilege.

This is a bit ridiculous.

"Just the fact that this operation has saved more than 50,000 lives so far can shatter this absurd statement."

Su Jie didn't take this paper seriously, but he couldn't help but write down the doctor's name...Wade, this name is quite easy to remember.

at this time.

Su Jie suddenly felt as if someone was blocking his way in front of him. He looked up and saw Su Jie put down his phone and said, "Doctor James, are you okay?"

Standing in front of Su Jie and blocking the way was James, who had watched the entire operation in the observation room.

Su Jie still remembered the first time he met James. At that time, the dark brown-haired doctor had an arrogant expression on his face. At the same time, he was extremely firm in his beliefs. He was also upset because of his disagreement with him.

There were some disputes.

But at this time, he looked a little confused.

"You don't look very tired." James held it in for a long time before squeezing out this sentence in Chinese.

"I'm very tired." Su Jie said lightly, but his face didn't even bother to pretend, and he looked completely relaxed.

"It took six and a half hours to cut open the body and replace the entire aorta with an artificial blood vessel. It took Mayo seven hours and two top surgeons to treat you. You..."

James talked a lot, but in the end he didn't know what to say.

Do you want to ask Su Jie why he's not tired?

This kind of question is meaningless at all. Maybe he is in good health, young, goes to bed early and gets up early, and lives an ascetic life... Anyway, Su Jie is standing in front of him very easily now. This is the case. What's the point of trying to find out the reason?

Woolen cloth?

Anyway, James knew that even if he knew the reason, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Ignoring the question, James continued to ask: "Why did you decide to operate on this patient?"

In fact, James had been in contact with Lu Liang, a patient earlier than Su Jie. After learning about Lu Liang's condition, James immediately sentenced him to death.

At least in James' view, the chance of success of Lu Liang's surgery is very low. Rather than risking this almost impossible chance, it is better to cherish the last time.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Liang was in Su Jie's hands, he would embark on a path that he had never expected. The operation was successfully completed and Lu Liang regained his life.

"At first you said I was an excellent surgeon, but I didn't agree."

"But in the treatment of this patient, I did not fulfill the obligations that a doctor should bear."

"But what I can't understand is why you are so determined to operate on the patient. I admit that your medical skills are very superb, but you can't be 100% sure about such an operation."

"Once you take office, you will be under tremendous pressure. Why did you choose surgery so firmly as soon as you learned about Lu Liang's condition?"

Faced with James' aggressive look, Su Jie almost blurted out: "The system forced me to do this."

But when he really opened his mouth, what Su Jie said was: "Because the patient wants to live."
