"Probably not." Zheng Ren said: "What the Nobel Prize project requires now is the amount of surgery. As long as it reaches a certain level, the documents are handed in and the review process is completed."
"I'm not asking you to do it yourself, right?"
Zheng Ren nodded.
Professor Yang felt relieved for a moment and said with a smile: "How long does it take to perform surgery after interventional surgery?"
"The patient has an indication, let me talk about it first." Zheng Ren looked a little serious, "Brother Yang, you know that I used to major in general surgery, and then I became involved in interventional surgery."
Professor Yang nodded.
"After interventional embolization, if the tumor is larger than 5cm and cannot be solved by radiofrequency ablation at one time, the patient agrees that surgery can be performed. If the tumor is smaller than 5cm, I think there is no need to undergo surgery."
Professor Yang's face looked a little ugly.
This is the battle of portals in the medical field.
When it comes to treating liver cancer, surgeons definitely believe that surgery is the best way. Doctors in the interventional department will definitely think that interventional surgery is the best method.
As for which method is better, it depends on the doctor's level, the patient's condition and other factors.
The most important thing is - which chair the butt is sitting on.
There is no such thing as a completely objective and impartial person.
The most typical example is the competition between coronary artery bypass surgery and circulating coronary stent surgery.
Surgery was completely defeated in just 10 years.
With only a little bit of territory left, even the profession of cardiopulmonary bypass specialist has been affected and is about to disappear.
The competition between interventional embolization + radiofrequency ablation for liver cancer and surgical resection of liver cancer has just begun.
Zheng Ren made his attitude very clear. From a technical point of view, there is no problem at all.
But Professor Yang felt as if he had eaten a fly.
If I agree, will I eat everything inside? The future volume of liver and gallbladder business and surgery volume...
Forget it, I can’t think of that much.
Professor Yang instantly understood the stakes.
Whether he can win this battle in hepatobiliary surgery has something to do with him, but his role is not big.
This is a national, and even international, battle between disciplines in the medical community.
There were so many strong-minded people back then, but what happened in the end? Defeated by a group of physicians!
Defeated, each and every one of them could only change careers silently. Or, you can only grab the jobs of those with regular breasts.
If the liver and gallbladder really can't beat interventional surgery, that's also the general trend. I am still working hard to become the deputy director of the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, and it will be practical to become the director in a few years.
"Okay." Professor Yang thought clearly and responded directly: "Then it's settled. I will select patients with liver cancer of 5-10cm to be admitted to the hospital."
There is a saying for liver cancer with this diameter.
After interventional embolization, the patient's tumor first expanded and then shrank due to ischemic necrosis. As long as the surgery is performed promptly, the diameter will never be smaller than 5cm.
"When can we start? I'll inform Xinglin Garden in advance." Zheng Ren said.
"I happen to have a liver cancer patient with a diameter of 8cm. Tomorrow?" Professor Yang asked carefully.
Zheng Ren smiled.
just
Nothing is just right in this world.
Unexpected, but reasonable.
But this is because Professor Yang has made solid preparations. If he agrees, he will do it directly. If you don't agree, then surgical removal will be done without delay.
"Then it's settled." Zheng Ren said, "Brother Yang, if nothing happens, I'll leave."
"Okay, I'll contact the doctor below you. Professor Liu, can he do it? Or Professor Rudolf Wagner?" Professor Yang asked.
"It's more convenient to contact Lao Liu," Zheng Ren said.
"Okay." Professor Yang happily agreed.
…
"Boss, you are quite tough." Su Yun said with a smile as he walked out of the General Surgery Department.
"It has to be like this. You can't just listen to Brother Yang on everything." Zheng Ren said lightly.
"Why don't you leave a mark to avoid conflicts in the future?" Su Yun said with a smile: "Simon Bramhall, do you know this person?"
"Simon, SB, how could you not remember?"
"The director of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, a master of liver transplantation, tell me, why is this person willing to engrave words on the transplanted liver?" Su Yun said with emotion.
This is a crazy thing in the medical community.
This Dr. Simon is very famous.
It's not because of how good he is at liver transplantation... Of course, his skills are also among the best in the world. But Simon became famous all over the world because he carved SB - his initials - on the transplanted liver.
He personally admitted that he only engraved his name on the transplanted livers during two liver transplant operations.
But it was this behavior that put him facing prosecution.
According to Simon, a senior hepatobiliary surgeon, such shallow burn marks on the surface of the liver do almost zero damage to the liver.
Therefore, this kind of behavior not only meets his need for commemoration, but also does not harm the patient. Although it is unusual, it is exciting and perfect.
Su Yun made fun of this matter, but Zheng Ren didn't care.
I would never do such a thing, it was just a joke.
Just like the abbreviation of Professor Simon Bramhall's subtitle, this is an SB thing done by SB.
"There is no need to engrave words." Zheng Ren said: "Although I am not at the top in liver and gallbladder surgery, I am almost there."
Su Yun felt angry after hearing Zheng Ren's confidence.
Doesn't he have some ideas in mind
"The most important thing is that minimally invasive surgery is a major trend in the future. Interventional surgery for liver cancer may one day replace surgery for liver cancer." Zheng Rendao: "Just like heart bypass surgeries are becoming less and less common now. "
Su Yun sighed.
"I really don't know why you chose cardiothoracic surgery in the past." Zheng Ren said with a smile: "Look, because you chose to be broad-minded, your whole chest collapsed."
"Hey, what does it have to do with me?"
"You can't do heart transplantation for the rest of your life, right?" Zheng Ren said, "Come to intervene with me?"
"Eat the line."
"The robotic arm was installed very quickly, and it was operated outside without any interruption at all. Look at your chest department, which was the first to implement the application of the Da Vinci robotic arm. There is no need for it." Zheng Ren smiled like a devil. Seducing Su Yun.
Su Yun was moved for a moment.
He also knows that minimally invasive surgery is a major trend in the future, and Zhao Yunlong is beginning to think about using endoscopic surgery for aortic arch replacement.
However, no matter how small the incision of laparoscopic surgery is, it cannot avoid the fact that the internal damage is actually as large as that of open surgery.
Interventional surgery, especially after the addition of 3D technology, is a surgical mode that will destroy the jobs of surgeons.
I will go my own way, leaving you with nowhere to go!
Come to think of it, that's pretty cool.
Su Yun took a breath and said, "I'll contact Uncle Ning when I get back and ask if we can get one of the robotic arms first."
