Chapter 304 Brain Tumor Surgery

Chapter 3 Brain Tumor Surgery

Seeing this scene, the patient's son did not help his mother up, but turned around and left quickly.

As for the daughter, she glanced at the figure of her brother leaving in a panic, and could only lean against her mother.

Qin Feng quickly helped the patient's wife up, let their mother and daughter sit on the chair, and poured a glass of water for each of them at the same time.

"But now your husband's condition is very dangerous. He has a tumor in his head. We have two options here. The first one is conservative treatment. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is used to control the condition. It may control the condition, but it cannot Radical treatment has the possibility of recurrence, and the cost of conservative treatment is a bit high, estimated to be several thousand or even ten thousand per day."

Hearing this number, the patient's wife trembled. Ten thousand a day was an astronomical figure for them.

But Qin Feng did not deceive them either, this is the cost of normal chemotherapy.

Most of why treating cancer can break the bank is because of the high cost of conservative treatments.

"The second method is to perform surgery to remove the brain tumor. After resection, the patient can recover with a high probability, but it is also possible to die during the operation." Qin Feng said.

As soon as she heard the word death, the patient's wife panicked.

"Will people still die from the surgery?"

Qin Feng nodded.

The patient's wife hugged her daughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. The daughter saw her mother crying, and she started crying too.

Qin Feng waited quietly for them to vent their emotions, and then heard the patient's wife slowly say: "Doctor, I believe in you, we will choose whatever you say."

The trust of the patient's wife actually put a lot of pressure on Qin Feng.

However, the patient's wife also thinks very simply. She is just an ordinary sewing worker. She doesn't understand the twists and turns of the hospital. It's better to trust someone who understands.

Moreover, the hospital is a place to treat diseases. Doctors are like bodhisattvas in their eyes, and they only need to worry about money.

"Go ahead and perform the operation. I will try my best to ensure your husband's safety." Qin Feng said firmly.

"Thank you, doctor. In fact, my husband had no choice but to grab it. At that time, my daughter was seriously ill. We really didn't have the 2 yuan. It’s still on.” The patient’s wife explained.

She was afraid that the doctor would discriminate against her because her husband was a criminal.

Qin Feng asked Zhang Yao to take the patient's family members to sit in a resting place to relieve their emotions, and then Qin Feng called Zhao Guoping.

The operation was soon confirmed, and the assistant was the director of brain surgery. He wanted to see how Qin Feng performed the operation.

And Zhao Guoping also secretly said something to him, asking him to watch Qin Feng on the operating table, that is, to share a little risk for Qin Feng.

Surgery, no one can guarantee that it will be perfect.

Qin Feng sat in the locker room, closed his eyes, and entered the surgical training room consciously.

Started to practice the resection of brainstem tumors.

When the resection was started, Qin Feng found that he still underestimated brain tumor surgery.

Brain tumors are divided into many areas, such as middle cranial fossa, infratemporal fossa, etc. The operation methods in different areas are also different. Qin Feng was directly confused by this series of complex areas. There are few surgical methods for one brain. It is said that there are dozens of kinds, and Qin Feng can only study them in the training room.

Although Qin Feng has also removed tumors, even small uterine fibroids have been done.

However, the complexity of brain tumor surgery is far more complicated than these two. After all, the structure of the uterus is single, only some muscle layer, fat layer, etc. Even if the cut is wrong, it can be added later.

But brain tumors, if cut wrong, can be fatal.

Qin Feng can only try one operation after another. Fortunately, Qin Feng's craniotomy has reached the level of a first-class doctor, and his main worry is tumor resection.

With the continuous failures, Qin Feng's knowledge of brainstem tumor resection is getting more and more understood, and the important structures and important divisions of the brainstem surrounding areas have become clearer in his mind.

For example, where are the cranial nerves above the brainstem, the nerve nuclei of each part of the brainstem, and so on.

Until the end of one operation, Qin Feng was able to guarantee a success rate of about 1%, and the last three operating rooms were successful consecutively.

Exiting the surgery training room, Qin Feng muttered to himself: "Medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain..."

These are the three important structures that Qin Feng knew in the training room. The most important thing is to expose the medulla oblongata and provide a good surgical field.

Moreover, the patient's tumor is just above the medulla oblongata, which is why Qin Feng's success rate is only [-]%.

The location of the medulla oblongata is very hidden, and the medulla oblongata is very fragile, and even touching it may cause fragmentation.

In the operating room, both Zhao Guoping and the director of brain surgery participated in the operation as assistants.

"Get ready for surgery."

The anesthesiologist came forward and administered low-pressure anesthesia.

It was originally planned for general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, but considering the rich blood supply of the tumor, the blood supply for general anesthesia with intubation may not be able to keep up.

After finishing the anesthetist, Qin Feng announced the start of the operation.

Qin Feng stared intently at the patient on the operating table, and the director of brain surgery on the other side nodded when he saw Qin Feng's momentum.

This is the state of the doctor's extreme concentration, and it is also a respect for this operation.

If the doctor talks and laughs, it means that the operation is not difficult, and the doctor didn't take it seriously.

"Lie on your back, turn your head 45 degrees to the left." Qin Feng shouted.

The director of brain surgery and Zhao Guoping quickly adjusted their positions, Qin Feng held the scalpel and separated the scalp along the marks made before.

The resection of brainstem tumors is still very complicated. Although Qin Feng has done it a hundred times, the craniotomy is still very careful.

For the craniotomy this time, Qin Feng chose the most convenient subtemporal dura mater, which is convenient for going deep into the brain.

After entering the internal path, it is to find the location of the tumor. The cases in the training room are not uniform, but the tumor may be on the left or right.

To test Qin Feng's skills in this way, if he is only on one side, Qin Feng can do it right away according to the gourd painting, and it will not help him grow at all.

Moreover, tumors in the brain are not connected to other organs, and the brain cannot be moved with instruments.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, carefully cut open the patient's scalp, performed conventional temporal skin flaps and bone flaps, bit down the lower part of the temporal region, and extended to the front of the middle cranial fossa before stopping.

Then use instruments to grind away the outer side of the sphenoid ridge. Why not choose to resect it, because the resection will cause the skull to vibrate, which will severely concuss the brain.

Just like putting an object in a basin, as long as you touch the iron basin hard, the iron basin will vibrate violently, which will affect the objects inside.

So, grinding is the best option.
