Chapter 288: Chapter 188: Pulmonary Necrosis Resection, Surgery Begins

City First Hospital,

’Beep-boop beep-boop~’

An ambulance rushed through the hospital gates, stopping at the emergency entrance.

“Quick, quick! Move the stretcher!”

The gurney was pushed into the emergency room, prioritizing stabilizing the physiology.

The person in charge of the rescue was Deputy Director Chen Yuanfang, who was stunned when she saw the patient.

Isn’t this Yan’Er’s former high school teacher, Chen Yanwen?

“Doctor, how is he?”

The middle-aged woman who followed in was flustered, holding her hand and asking.

“Don’t worry, we need to check him first. Please come with me to the office.”

Chen Yuanfang led Teacher Chen’s spouse into the office and sat down,

“Chen Yanwen, huh?”

She entered Teacher Chen’s name, and instantly the page popped up, listing Qin Feng as the attending physician.

It turned out that Chen Yanwen had already been admitted, and Qin Feng was the attending doctor!

“May I ask, did Teacher Chen come here yesterday?”

Chen Yuanfang asked Chen Yanwen’s spouse.

“Yes, yes, Old Chen came yesterday. The doctor told us to get admitted in the afternoon because surgery was needed.”

He nodded repeatedly and replied nervously,

“Oh, by the way, that doctor is very young, tall and handsome, and was an old student of our Old Chen.”

“Oh? Qin Feng is also Teacher Chen’s student? What a coincidence~”

Chen Yuanfang couldn’t help but chuckle at this.

After all this, it turns out that both her prospective son-in-law and daughter were taught by the same teacher.

“So, Doctor, how is our Old Chen doing?”

“He’s stable for now, just emotionally agitated and has severe pneumoconiosis, which caused him to faint.”

Chen Yuanfang reassured her immediately,

“He’ll wake up soon, but the surgery needs to be done quickly. The longer we delay, the greater the risk.

I’ll ask the attending doctor what time can be arranged.”

“Okay, thank you, Doctor.”

…

In the ICU operating room,

Qin Feng is finishing up with Director Lu, when a circulating nurse came over with a phone.

“Director Qin, a call from Deputy Director Chen of the emergency department.”

“Take it.”

The call was connected, and Chen Yuanfang’s voice came through.

“Xiaoxin, where are you now?”

“Director Chen, I’m in the ICU operating room, doing skin graft surgery for Hou Gang.”

Qin Feng felt a bit awkward when she called him Xiaoxin.

The two directors and others beside him were smiling at him knowingly.

Of course,

everyone in the hospital knew about his relationship with Liu Yan’Er, so Chen Yuanfang considered him her prospective son-in-law.

“Oh, I see. Well, the patient admitted from your class yesterday, Chen Yanwen, fainted again and was brought here by ambulance.”

“What?!”

Qin Feng couldn’t help but stop suturing upon hearing this, surprised.

“How is Teacher Chen now?”

“Don’t worry, Teacher Chen’s physiological indicators are quite stable, not currently life-threatening, and we’ve arranged for a full examination.

However, the surgery still needs to be done soon, so I wanted to ask about your availability.”

Qin Feng paused and looked at Zhao Yitian nearby.

“Yitian, assist Director Lu in completing the final suturing.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Yitian nodded and stepped up to take over his surgical position.

“Director Chen, if it’s convenient, as soon as the test results meet the surgical standards, do it immediately!”

Qin Feng took off his gloves, firmly stating as he grabbed the phone,

“Teacher Chen’s condition cannot be delayed further, to prevent other complications. Can he undergo surgery in your emergency room?”

“No problem on my end. When will you be done?”

Chen Yuanfang agreed without a second thought.

After all, it’s her family member and it’s rare to have a surgery in the emergency department, she naturally agreed.

“I’m heading over now. Please get the operating room ready. You handle the staffing.”

“Okay.”

With that, the call ended.

Qin Feng left the operating room straightaway, cleaned up after taking off his clothes, and hurried to the emergency department.

“Hey, Su Cheng, bring Xu Yingying to the emergency meeting room to wait for me, notify all departments to have doctors temporarily take over the work in the general outpatient clinic.”

“Okay, Director, I’ll contact them immediately.”

On the phone, Su Cheng was utterly confused,

“Director, did something happen?”

“There’s about to be a pneumoconiosis lung resection surgery. Get ready to assist me on the stage.”

Qin Feng said sternly.

“Understood! I’ll arrange it right away.”

Su Cheng’s eyes lit up upon hearing ’on the stage,’ and he hurried to Xu Yingying’s clinic.

…

“Dr. Qin, you have to save him.”

When Qin Feng arrived at the emergency office, Teacher Chen’s spouse could no longer hold back, her eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling, and she said.

“Don’t worry, Teacher Chen is my teacher. I’ll do my best!”

He looked at the seemingly lost elder in front of him, feeling the weight of responsibility.

This surgery must extend the teacher’s survival period!

“Qin Feng, the operating room is ready. How about I assist you as first assistant?”

Chen Yuanfang, standing by, volunteered to help.

???

At this, the other doctors and the arriving Su Cheng and Xu Yingying were all taken aback.

What’s going on!

The emergency deputy director actually wants to compete with them for the first assistant position?

This is simply ridiculous!

“Honestly, I haven’t actually seen you operate yet. How about it? Let me take a spot from these youngsters.”

Seeing the sincere expression amidst a playful tone from Chen Yuanfang, Qin Feng knew she wasn’t joking.

Helplessly, he nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, his future mother-in-law would assist him this time, what an honor!

About two hours later,

all of Chen Yanwen’s full examination results were out and immediately delivered to Qin Feng.

The indicators were somewhat abnormal, but overall they were fine and met surgical standards.

Of course, this kind of examination was for other doctors, but for Qin Feng, as long as he knew the basics and the person was alive, there were no other concerns.

Surgery!

Save a life!

“Let’s go, prepare for surgery.”

With that, Qin Feng led the way to the operating room.

Behind him was Deputy Director Chen Yuanfang, followed by several attending doctors from general and emergency departments.

They formed an impressive procession through the corridor and entered the operating room.

…

Washing, disinfecting, putting on masks and caps, then walking into the operating theater.

The circulating nurse came over with sterile gowns and helped each person put them on. Qin Feng was the first to step up to the platform.

“Director Chen, this time I will excise the lung nodule area and clean the early silicosis parts.”

He glanced at the CT image already displayed in the lightbox and said to Chen Yuanfang.

“Alright, understood.”

After examination, Qin Feng judged that Chen Yanwen’s second fainting was due to lung function loss, compounded by extreme physical and mental fatigue.

This, along with an extensive hour-long lecture, resulted in insufficient oxygen supply, leading to cerebral hypoxia, which caused the fainting.

Fortunately, with timely first aid and constant oxygen inhalation in the ambulance, the condition stabilized significantly during the check-up.

However, this inadvertently exacerbated the underlying condition. Initially, Qin Feng planned to let Teacher Chen rest and recover for a few days to improve his health before proceeding with surgery.

But now, he couldn’t delay any further. If a similar situation occurred again, it could lead to other complications.

By that time, the situation might become more complex.

Therefore, the sooner, the better. Direct surgical excision followed by recovery, although it may take longer, won’t burden other organs.

“Start anesthesia.”

Qin Feng nodded to the anesthesia department head nearby.

Five minutes later, Chen Yanwen entered the anesthetic state.

“Lateral position, expose the right torso.”

Su Cheng and Chen Yuanfang tilted the patient’s body, positioning the surgical area upwards.

“Scalpel!”

Qin Feng extended his hand, and the instrument slapped into his hand as soon as he spoke.

The first step, thoracotomy!

A blade pierced the skin, with fresh blood slowly oozing along the incision.

He didn’t pause, proceeding to cut open the chest, peel away the muscle layer, at an extremely fast speed.

Ordinarily, opening the chest would be highly discomforting. Yet, for an experienced surgeon, it’s routine.

But in Qin Feng’s hands, the expert technique of peeling was absolutely breathtaking.

Not a single cut was redundant; each one was incredibly precise. For a surgeon, it’s a technique they pursue a lifetime!

“Tissue forceps.”

“Ethanol disinfection.”

Qin Feng accepted the tissue forceps and disinfected the external peeled skin.

“Retractor.”

Subsequently, the skin tissue was opened, revealing the sternum.

Beneath the sternum lay the organ tissue: the lungs!

“Open bone, wire saw!”

He picked up the wire saw, sawing downward from the scapula.

As the scapula blocked the surgical area, a cut had to be made from the scapular area to the subscapular region.

Screeching sounds of friction emerged, somewhat hair-raising.

Everyone was accustomed to this!

After opening the scapula, the surgical view still wasn’t clear, necessitating further downward cuts along the appropriate ribs extending to the anterior axillary line.

“Temporal serratus!”

“Blade.”

Setting down the wire saw, Qin Feng opened the sternum, cutting open the tissue skin layer with a blade.

“Electrocautery.”

He activated the electrocautery, and the tip cut beneath the skin, causing bleeding to begin.

“Suction, electrosurgical coagulation!”

Chen Yuanfang saw the expert technique. Even though Qin Feng’s surgery videos were very impressive, witnessing it firsthand still caused goosebumps.

Upon hearing his words, she quickly grabbed the electric coagulator to stop bleeding.

“Scalpel.”

Qin Feng didn’t lift his head, as these were trivial matters for him.

Next, layer by layer, he cut through the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and serratus anterior, reaching the external thoracic fascia.

The entire process flowed smoothly, without hesitation, making it incredibly satisfying to watch.

Chen Yuanfang and Su Cheng were wide-eyed, their brains too slow to think.

It’s simply divine skills in surgery!

How many muscles must one cut through to master such effortless techniques?

It’s critical to understand, amidst these complex muscle groups, lie numerous bones and soft tissues.

Without a profound understanding of human anatomy, smoothly slicing through numerous muscle groups with such precision in one go is impossible!

Moreover, while human structures are generally consistent, subtle differences are inevitable.

It requires not just extensive experience but also extraordinary instantaneous judgment to achieve such effortless maneuvering~~~

Of course,

For him, challenges that seem insurmountable to others are what Qin Feng excels in.

He possesses globally top-notch surgical experience, coupled with absolute micro-control of his hands and eyes.

Errors?

Only if someone intentionally sabotages.

One hour…..

Finally, all muscle groups, nerves, and blood vessels were successfully separated, preparing for the last step to open the surgical view.

“Retractor.”

Qin Feng held the retractor, pulling up the scapula, inserting two fingers within.

“Electrocautery!”

In the next second, with a swift motion of his hand, bone membrane successfully detached.

Whoa!

Even Chen Yuanfang beside him froze.

That’s too… accurate!

“Bone membrane separator.”

“Rongeur.”

Crack…

Rib was severed.

“Bone wax to fill and stop bleeding.”

“Electrocautery power to 360!”

Screeching sounds~

The blade cut across the blood vessel, instantly coagulating to stop bleeding.

The dazzling operation left watchers glued to the scene, holding their breath.

“Long tissue scissors.”

“Curved forceps!”

One tool after another was continually replaced; the instrument nurse’s hands moved rapidly, not daring to be distracted.

As the superior lobe was pulled back, the mediastinal pleura was opened. By this point, the lungs were nearly fully exposed in the surgical view.

Next,

the most important act: lung resection!
