Come on, Dr. Wu

If it was someone else, Wu Xiaofu would have asked him to leave and then explained the patient's condition in detail to the patient's family. However, the person standing in front of him was Qiao Lu, who was also a doctor. His ability to accept the condition was naturally very different from that of ordinary people.

Wu Xiaofu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "My initial judgment is that the problem should be in the intestines. Well... to be more precise, it is very likely in the colon. In my opinion, you'd better arrange a colonoscopy as soon as possible for further diagnosis."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Lu couldn't help but be shocked. Because he usually communicated with patients in this way, he could roughly guess what the situation was just from Wu Xiaofu's tone.

Normally, if it was just some insignificant minor illness or disaster, Wu Xiaofu would always tell the truth; but now he was so tactful, which probably meant that the illness this time was serious.

When he heard the word "colon", Qiao Lu's face turned pale. Even though he was usually open-minded and optimistic, how could he remain calm in the face of such a serious disease that might affect his life or death? After all, no one could really face the threat of death calmly.

When Qiao Lu's wife heard the news, her body trembled uncontrollably. She widened her eyes and looked at Teacher Wu in disbelief, her voice tinged with tears: "Teacher Wu, you must be kidding us, right? Qiao Lu is only in his thirties, how could he have such a bad luck!" From her terrified and helpless expression, we can see the despair and fear in her heart.

Indeed, whether it is experienced doctors or ordinary people, when faced with such a serious and malignant disease, their reactions are often exactly the same.

As a professional doctor, he shouldn't have lost his composure like that, but at this moment, I can understand why Wu Xiaofu asked such a question. After all, such sudden bad news would shock anyone and make them feel at a loss.

After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Qiao Lu took several deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. Gradually, his face regained some color and his emotions became a little more stable.

He raised his head and said to Wu Xiaofu gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Wu. I understand. I will go for a colonoscopy now." After that, he held his wife's hand tightly, as if afraid of losing her, and then hurried out the door.

Wu Xiaofu silently watched their backs as they left, sighed softly, and shook his head helplessly. In fact, patients with gastrointestinal problems are not uncommon here.

To be fair, only the cafeteria of Meldor Hospital was clean and delicious, and one could eat a meal without worry. If Wu Xiaofu were to eat at restaurants outside, he would be in a dilemma because the hygiene conditions in those places were difficult to guarantee, and people could not enjoy the food with peace of mind.

After Qiao Lu left Wu Xiaofu's place, he went straight to get a colonoscopy. When the results came out, everyone gasped - it turned out to be colon cancer!
What is even more worrying is that the degree of infiltration is already quite high. After all, Qiao Lu's symptoms have lasted for more than a year, which means that the lesions may have appeared earlier. Fortunately, no signs of large-scale distant metastasis have been found, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Hospitals are places where information spreads quickly and is difficult to keep secret. Moreover, when Qiao Lu went to find Wu Xiaofu before, she was open and aboveboard.

So, before long, the whole hospital spread the news that Qiao Lu was diagnosed with colon cancer by Wu Xiaofu, and after a gastroscopy follow-up, the diagnosis was confirmed.

If some people still had doubts about the case of the sick child, then Qiao Lu's condition this time was undoubtedly the most powerful proof. For a time, everyone was convinced of Wu Xiaofu's medical skills and no longer had any doubts. In an instant, the number of people who came to Wu Xiaofu for treatment increased like a tide.

Even Meila couldn't help asking Wu Xiaofu if he would consider opening a special clinic in the hospital. As for the cost of the clinic, it was not a problem at all. Faced with such an attractive proposal, Wu Xiaofu shook his head without hesitation and resolutely refused.

Because he knew that his primary mission in Africa was to guide and assist the local community in solving the rampant Ebola virus epidemic, rather than to seek a job here. He had a clear sense of priorities.

Moreover, the child's surgery was arranged very quickly. It had been agreed beforehand that Wu Xiaofu would be the surgeon, so a week later, Wu Xiaofu stood directly on the operating table.

Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver is an extremely dangerous and highly malignant tumor. Judging from the current condition, it is almost impossible to expect it to be completely cured.

The only strategy that can be adopted at this moment is to do one's utmost to prolong the patient's survival time. In fact, the principle behind this is roughly the same for all types of tumors. As long as there is an opportunity to perform radical surgery, one must never adopt a permissive palliative treatment approach to the condition.

At this stage, the prognosis of this disease after surgery is obviously much better than those more conservative treatments, such as certain radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In particular, this child with the disease can be said to be quite lucky.

Since it was discovered relatively early, if the surgery is successful, the patient's expected survival rate for five years after surgery is still quite high. However, given the unique characteristics of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver, the potential risks of simply performing a tumor resection are too high.

Based on such considerations, Wu Xiaofu made an immediate decision to adopt a comprehensive surgical plan including right trisegmentectomy under general anesthesia, cholecystectomy, common bile duct resection after common bile duct angiography, and choledochojejunostomy.

If only a single right hepatic trisegmentectomy is performed, it may be classified as a surgical operation of medium to high difficulty.

However, if these four operations are combined and performed simultaneously, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the entire operation to the peak level! You know, every time a new operation is added, the time required for the entire operation will inevitably increase.

For patients, the difficulty of the surgery increases with each additional minute or second of surgery time. Especially when the duration of the surgery continues to increase, the difficulty of the surgery increases exponentially. Not to mention, these surgeries themselves are not easy tasks to complete.

Even in the famous Meldor Hospital, there is probably no doctor who dares to pat his chest and promise that he will definitely succeed in this complicated operation. After all, the child undergoing the operation is only six years old. Such a young age makes his body's tolerance relatively poor. At this moment, even the doctors responsible for anesthesia are under great pressure. Therefore, on the operating table where the atmosphere is tense and everyone is on the alert, Wu Xiaofu and the child appear to be the most calm and composed.

The reason why the child can appear so calm is simply because he has fallen into a sweet dream.

As for Wu Xiaofu, it was because he had gone through countless similar complex operations and had already developed the ability to remain calm in the face of any emergency. So even when faced with such a difficult challenge, he was still able to remain calm and composed.

So when George asked Wu Xiaofu with a puzzled look on his face why he was so confident, Wu Xiaofu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly playful smile, and then casually said: "It's just practice that makes the difference."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, instantly exploding in the crowd. However, unlike those guys who were looked down upon for their pretentiousness, when Wu Xiaofu said this, everyone present showed admiration and respect.

The reason is simple, it's because everyone knows that Wu Xiaofu is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. After all, Wu Xiaofu is no longer a rookie. In the world, Wu Xiaofu's reputation is already quite high. They have basically seen and read many surgeries and articles. Now he is so confident, it must be that he has been tempered by countless similar surgeries to have such extraordinary self-confidence and confidence.

Following Wu Xiaofu's order - "Let's start!" the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent. Everyone quickly focused their minds, put aside the distracting thoughts in their minds, and concentrated on the operation that was about to begin.

You know, for these medical staff, this operation is of extraordinary significance, far beyond the ordinary operations they usually perform. At this moment, standing in front of the operating table is Wu Xiaofu, the leader of the exchange team from China and a world-renowned general surgery expert.

Each of them knew very well that the responsibility they shouldered at this moment not only concerned their personal honor and disgrace, but also represented the image of the Meldor Hospital and even the entire F continent.

If anything goes wrong at this critical moment, it would not only be a loss of face for them, but also a disgrace to Meldor Hospital and the entire F continent.

Wu Xiaofu was keenly aware of the state of the people around him. Everyone was concentrating and had a serious expression, as if they were facing a life-and-death battle.

Facing such a serious atmosphere, he did not say anything to comfort people, because he knew very well that in the operating room, such a highly concentrated attitude was taken for granted. Every operation was like a major challenge for medical staff, and they had to go all out and not allow any carelessness.

Moreover, the fact that everyone took the operation so seriously was also a recognition and respect for his professional ability. Wu Xiaofu felt relieved in his heart. After all, being valued by others was undoubtedly an affirmation of his medical skills.

In fact, it was not just here. When he went to various parts of China to perform "Flying Knife", the local hospitals basically had the same attitude.

No one wants to lose face in front of a better colleague than himself. Even if it is just to maintain the most basic level, we must ensure that we are not looked down upon. To do this, we need to work twice as hard. Easy? That's just a superficial phenomenon!

Although it was not the first time that everyone had assisted experts in completing surgery, the feeling of nervousness still lingered every time they worked with top experts like Wu Xiaofu.

In order to better cooperate with Wu Xiaofu's surgery, Meldor Hospital carefully selected the most mature and stable medical team to work with him. However, even with rich experience, every time they step into the operating room, they will unconsciously enter the state of going all out.

Being in a state of high mental tension for a long time, both the energy and physical strength consumed will be doubled compared to usual. Everyone knows the hardship involved, but no one complains, just to successfully complete the operation, save the patient's life, and to show off what they have learned through hard work.

However, this time was completely different! When they performed the operation with Wu Xiaofu, they unexpectedly felt extremely relaxed.

The most notable feature of Wu Xiaofu's surgical style is its amazing speed; but it is worth mentioning that he did not completely ignore the reaction speed of his companions, but cleverly gave everyone sufficient preparation time.

Even for the personnel responsible for equipment care, Wu Xiaofu was so careful and thoughtful that he informed them of the list of items that needed to be prepared in advance. This not only demonstrated Wu Xiaofu's skillful and comfortable operation, but also made everyone feel his considerate heart.

After all, when there is a gap in the level of both parties, if you just blindly pursue speed improvement, it is undoubtedly a kind of contempt or even bullying of others' abilities. If you are in a state of panic, no one can ensure that there will be no mistakes.

Before long, Wu Xiaofu successfully completed the process of dissociating tissues and organs with amazing efficiency. The remaining steps were relatively simple - removing the right three lobes of the liver.

Wu Xiaofu's technique was smooth and skillful, and he completed the whole operation in one go without wasting much energy. This link is precisely the most important core part of the whole operation. Once this difficulty is successfully overcome, the subsequent operations will naturally become easy.

"clang!"

A sudden and crisp sound, like a thunder, suddenly exploded in Wu Xiaofu's ears. The sound came so suddenly that Wu Xiaofu's originally relaxed brows involuntarily frowned, as if being kneaded by an invisible hand. (End of this chapter)
