Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552: Chapter 252: Finally Open for Business, This Patient Can’t Be Accepted (Part 3)

This is a very bad situation.

Although it looks like a benign tumor, it’s hard to remove completely due to unclear boundaries.

This can easily recur.

About forty minutes later, the entire mass was successfully removed by Li Jingsheng.

The surgical process was thrilling yet safe, and went smoothly.

Now, there is an air conditioner specially used for the operating room, with constant temperature and humidity, which is very beneficial for both the surgeon and the patient.

Sweating is basically avoided.

If it were a cold winter, it would be even more necessary.

Otherwise, with temperatures below zero, the doctor would be shivering, and a shaky cut could go anywhere!

The patient might be so scared by the doctor’s shaking that they would run away on the spot.

Aside from the comfortable temperature and humidity brought by the air conditioner, the real-time monitoring of vital signs by the life monitor also allowed Li Jingsheng and Meng Luo to grasp changes in the patient’s condition during the surgery.

The bleeding control by the Electric Coagulation Knife speaks for itself.

For stopping bleeding in small blood vessels, it’s practically a magic tool.

Also, these surgical tools are extremely useful, not to mention the special pair of glasses. Combined with the headlamp, they make it easy to spot many details.

Not just blood vessels and nerves.

In anatomical illustrations, blood vessels are generally marked in red, and veins are sometimes marked in blue.

Nerves are marked in yellow.

But in actual surgery, these cannot be marked, so the surgeon has to judge and discover them on their own.

Especially nerves, which like to mingle beside blood vessels or within subcutaneous tissues.

Carelessly cutting them could be disastrous.

A slight mistake, and the patient’s hand function could be lost.

With all this equipment, Li Jingsheng was able to carry out the surgery very smoothly.

It’s worth praising that Meng Luo’s cooperation was first-class.

There was no need for Li Jingsheng to remind him; most of the time, he knew what tool Li Jingsheng needed next.

After removing the mass cleanly, he performed a secondary debridement on the patient and began suturing.

More than ten minutes later, the suturing was completed.

Upon examining the wound and finding no issues, it was then disinfected.

The patient’s right upper arm could be seen shrinking.

However, because the surgery was just completed, a certain amount of local hematoma was present. This is a normal phenomenon and will recover in a day or two.

"Dr. Li, such a big tumor, it isn’t something bad, is it?"

After the surgery, the patient was helped to sit up by Li Jingsheng and Han Siying from both sides.

Due to long-term exercise, the patient’s body was quite robust.

Post-operative mental status, physical mobility, and all other aspects were good.

"I feel it should be a benign tumor. But its boundary was very vague, making the surgery difficult. To be safe, I removed some normal tissue as well. You see, these tissues are all normal."

Li Jingsheng pointed to show the patient.

"Haha, well done. Choosing you for this surgery was definitely the right decision. Cutting a bit more is a thousand times better than not cutting cleanly."

After checking, the patient laughed in satisfaction.

"These areas were easy to handle, so I removed some extra normal tissue. But there were places that were difficult, like the ulnar nerve, which was almost closely adhered to the tumor. If I had to cut it, your arm would basically be useless. Although I made my best effort to help you clean it, it’s still necessary to be cautious of recurrence. The safest way is to check once every three months after the surgery."

Li Jingsheng gained a lot from this surgery.

Not just the 2,500 treatment fee, but also an enhancement in life value and surgical skills.
