I, Doctor in the US

Chapter 180: Unbelievable Surgical Plan!


What can this guy Zhou Mo Sen do?

Sidney also sat in the conference room.

She saw Zhou Mo Sen coming in with Professor Hansen.

As usual, Zhou Mo Sen's gaze didn't linger on her for long.

It seems like the duration of that gaze represents the closeness of the relationship.

So, for now, it's still about the same as before.

But it doesn't matter.

Sidney still focused more on the patient this time.

This patient is a girl, about twenty years old.

She's very beautiful, and her identity is somewhat special.

To put it plainly, a lot of information is confidential to us doctors.

Currently, Sidney only knows that this girl's name is Ariana.

Aside from that, it's just height, weight, and medical-related information.

But, one look and you can tell, she's a child from a wealthy family.

A luxurious single room, all kinds of comprehensive care, several experts in our hospital circling around her.

All this indicates this girl's identity.

Even if we take a step back, someone who can come to our UCLA Medical Center and not reveal her full name must be someone significant.

But after all, this is about treating and saving lives.

Ariana indeed has a severe illness.

Aneurysm.

The characteristic of this disease is that it can develop anywhere in the body.

And this aneurysm has a very interesting point.

It's neither benign nor malignant.

Simply put, this aneurysm can be considered benign because it doesn't invade or metastasize like true cancers.

However, an aneurysm can also endanger life.

If it grows large, it can compress vessels or organs, and if it bursts...

It can also cause death.

Medically speaking, if it's below 5cm, some conservative measures can be taken.

If it grows over 5CM, then surgery is required.

Additionally, it also depends on the position of the aneurysm; if it's intracranial, then 5MM is the standard.

Of course, if detected, and the patient has money and renowned doctors willing to operate, even below 1CM can be surgically removed.

This patient's aneurysm is quite large now, and the location is quite challenging…

At this moment, Professor Hansen is starting to discuss this patient's condition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at this case—patient is 20 years old, height 172CM, weight 53 kilograms… The aneurysm is located near the liver…"

Near the liver... that area is indeed complex.

The liver and gallbladder coordinate in that area, so there's the gallbladder, plus the pancreas and stomach.

Not to mention, a lot of blood vessels.

In short, removing this aneurysm is indeed challenging.

Professor Hansen quickly finished introducing the patient's condition.

Next up was Professor Sun from the oncology department.

That's right, this professor is a Chinese-American doctor.

He's in his forties, the prime time for a doctor.

Looks typically Chinese-American, wears glasses.

Professor Sun adjusted his glasses, stood up, and said, "The challenge with this tumor is that during the dissection process, we must be meticulous and not damage the surrounding blood vessels..."

Indeed, this is the major challenge of this surgery.

The tumor itself is large, and its location gives doctors headaches.

The key is to dissect it cleanly.

Such a large tumor, with many blood vessels in the way, and nearby liver and gallbladder organs.

Just by looking at the scans, many doctors shook their heads.

Once the scalpel goes in, it could accidentally damage other blood vessels, cutting the tumor out, but how to remove it?

Using clips and forceps might injure vessels and organs.

If using a scalpel to slice it into pieces before removing it, the process demands extreme caution.

Professor Sun quickly concluded, emphasizing the difficulty of removing this tumor.

Actually, collaboration between oncology and general surgery is quite common.

But this tumor tests a doctor's skills extensively.

Overall, it may not be an exceedingly high-risk surgery.

But the difficulty isn't small either.

Moreover, the real key is… preservation!

If it were a regular cancerous tumor, during excision, it would be cut 'more' extensively.

To briefly describe it.

If the cancerous tumor is 1CM in diameter, we cut at least 2CM.

Preferably cut 3CM.

Because cutting like this maximizes the chance of ensuring a cure.

The possibility of metastasis of cancer cells is reduced, decreasing the chance of recurrence.

But, cutting more inevitably damages other organs or vessels.

Cutting more means not worrying about 'preservation.'

Those organs will be harmed, and even if preserved, cancer might recur.

But this is an aneurysm, not a cancerous tumor.

It won't cause surrounding organs to become cancerous.

So it needs to be preserved.

Furthermore, after dissection, an artificial vessel must be placed.

And Professor Sun's intention... he actually hopes someone from their oncology department will step up.

To perform this surgery.

Because technically, it would surpass the general surgery department.

Though they are collaborating, there's also competition.

So, is there such a warrior?

Both professors have already finished speaking. Now it's time to see if the elite doctors from both departments have any good proposals.

So...

The conference room was silent!

Clearly, everyone understood that the surgery's difficulty was high.

The key was also 'preservation.'

Moreover, most people knew.

This patient's identity was somewhat mysterious.

Sidney saw this and frowned tightly.

What should we do?

Then, Sidney looked over at Zhou Mo Sen.

He... Is he playing on his phone?!

Zhou Mo Sen, what are you doing!

Sidney was furious.

But she didn't see how Zhou Mo Sen was actually using the phone.

To be specific, Zhou Mo Sen was actually sending a message.

What message?

"What is the patient's true identity?"

And the message receiver...

Professor Hansen looked at Zhou Mo Sen with a helpless expression.

Yes, Zhou Mo Sen was messaging Hansen.

In the hospital, the old professor used a pager, he could receive messages, but he could only respond to Zhou Mo Sen like this.

After receiving this answer, Zhou Mo Sen smiled.

Then sent another message.

"Is there an extra reward?"

This...

Professor Hansen looked at Zhou Mo Sen in surprise; did this guy have a plan?

The old professor nodded.

That was enough.

In the midst of the silent room, Zhou Mo Sen suddenly stood up!

Ah?!

In an instant, many doctors were shocked!

What's this guy up to?

Zhou Mo Sen? Him again?

This time, Zhou Mo Sen straightforwardly said:

"I have a plan, but... I can't be the chief surgeon, only assist."

What?

Everyone was stunned, even Sidney couldn't understand.

Zhou Mo Sen, what are you trying to pull?

Then, Zhou Mo Sen proposed a surgical plan that left everyone bewildered.

Hearing this plan, even Professor Hansen smiled playfully.

Zhou Mo Sen's plan was to use hands!
