Chapter 1356: 【1356】Looking for experts
Speaking of the titanium clips placed during Director Guan's first endoscopic surgery for the patient, it's clear that it's not just about randomly placing clips on the fistula. This led to the possibility that the patient has more than one fistula. The second exposed fistula was large, reducing the effectiveness of treating the small fistula during the first procedure, which might have been in vain.
The small fistula should not be ignored; it's best to find and address all of them. Because no one can guarantee that, if left alone, a small fistula will either heal on its own or become a larger fistula. The patient's body is such that wounds are difficult to heal.
Swipe, swipe, swipe, the sound of note-taking resounded in the room once more.
Feng Yicong dared not tell Student Pan again not to randomly jot things down or say anything.
The result earlier showed he was wrong, and Student Pan was right.
Swipe twice, then swipe twice again.
Feng Yicong sneaked a glance to the side, but since the notebook was half-covered, he couldn't see clearly what Student Pan was drawing.
The endoscope withdrew the previously expanded balloon and inserted a guidewire for the second balloon.
Director Guan could only blink at such a strange operation. The first expansion had reached the maximum pressure, theoretically fully exposing the fistula. What could the purpose of a second balloon be? He couldn't quite figure it out.
Just like the first time, the guidewire for the second balloon was placed very slowly, with constant adjustments.
The current silence bore no resemblance to the previous suspicious stillness; everyone had confidence in the surgeon's operation now, watching intently, their gaze tinged with admiration.
Several male surgeons inwardly sighed: this intern's delicate endoscopic manipulation has an indescribably subtle beauty.
It can't be described as gentle, because Student Xie wasn't so gentle; being too gentle in medical procedures isn't viable, as they require strength. Her subtle beauty came from being just right.
Extremely fine and intricate technique, marvelously skillful hands, embodying the praise often showered on surgeons: like an embroidery girl.
Actually, finding and fixing fistulas is akin to sewing, much like embroidery.
Both male surgeons and male endoscopists strive for the same goal: to be as skilled as an embroidery girl, so the technical requirements are gender-neutral.
The two students beside watched Student Xie's operation, pondering how, as males, they could achieve such hair-like precision.
The guidewire finally stopped moving, and expansion was applied. This time, instead of using the maximum pressure, they applied a gentle touch. But everyone's eyes widened as the image displayed.
"No way," Director Guan exclaimed with a click of the throat.
"One, two, three, four, five," Feng Yicong counted the tiny black holes on the screen, some so small they looked like black dots, all of which Student Xie had identified.
The small fistulas cannot be completely disregarded. If these small fistulas grow too close together, they could make an area perforated like a sieve.
If large fistulas are hard to find, small ones are undoubtedly even harder to spot. It turns out the two pressurizations were in different directions, one with great force expanding key areas, the other with a gentle touch extending to fragile edges, picking up the overlooked. These subtle differences might be hard to discern on the endoscopy screen with the naked eye, known only to the performing doctor.
This Student Xie is shockingly composed. A group of doctors gasped.
Wei Guoyuan wanted to ask the classmates if they felt relieved now.
Finding the problem is actually a good thing; once found, there's surely a way to solve it, like with the large fistula earlier.
Shao Jialiang turned his head, his speech slow as if replying to Wei Guoyuan from a trance: "All I'm thinking about now is that I hired an expert."
Wei Guoyuan hurriedly reminded him: "The surgical expert you hired is here on site."
Professor Han didn't mind, laughing heartily. Who was it that first realized he hired an expert, if not him, Professor Han? Wasn't he the first to enter and ask where Expert Xie was?
