Chapter 346 The chances of survival are high (Please subscribe)
"Brother Long, when did this happen? I don't think I heard it." Guan Qiquan asked, looking completely stunned.

Could it be that Liu Huanglong agreed to come to Zhongnan Hospital, but instead of staying in the hand surgery department, he went to the trauma surgery department and caused serious injury?

No way?
If Liu Huanglong comes to Central South University like this, then Ni Yaoping and the other senior professors will probably be in an even worse mood...

"Just now, but I haven't said it yet."

Liu Huanglong quickly made up his mind about the path ahead, then looked at Guan Qiquan and said, "Brother Guan, just think of yourself as a child who has made a vow and a choice, and chooses to finish the journey on your knees."

Liu Huanglong's tone suggested weakness, but in reality, it revealed his most resolute inner strength.

Once someone leaves the Department of Hand Surgery at Central South University, that's it. A prodigal son may return, but he will never go back to his old ways.

With his current strength, Liu Huanglong no longer needs to consider economic factors. No matter which specialty he chooses at Zhongnan Hospital, the hospital will not treat him unfairly.

What Liu Huanglong needs to consider is doing something practical that is more beneficial to the patients, and incidentally, also to promote his own business.

Hubei Province is not lacking in doctors like Liu Huanglong who mechanically and repeatedly perform limb replantation. However, patients in Hubei Province should be hoping for a scholar who seriously and diligently studies traumatic injuries. This scholar does not necessarily need to come from a trauma surgery background.

If, in the end, we can save the limbs of those with 'amputation-only' conditions through a more gentle approach, it would be a miracle we could hope for.

In every province, the number of patients suffering from severe injuries due to traffic accidents is considerable.

Unit: Daily.

No one publicized it, and no one reported the injured person's final outcome on the news.

All illnesses and pains are resolved in the hospital, suffering remains in the family, and joy is returned to the world.

Guan Qiquan found it difficult to speak. What happened back then still left a mark deep in Liu Huanglong's heart. No matter how outstanding he is now, or how much he tries to fill that scar, it will remain.

Injuries leave scars that are difficult to erase with time, medical treatments, or cosmetic procedures.

“Everyone is selfish, and so am I. I want to go further and climb higher. But I’m not noble. Perhaps this way, the atmosphere among us will be more harmonious,” Liu Huanglong explained again.

Guan Qiquan then truly stopped speaking.

Yes, Liu Huanglong's choice not to return to the hand surgery department and his refusal to forgive, while rooted in principle and resentment, only make some people in the department feel more at ease.

They also don't want to face each other, argue head-on, and live a hypocritical life together.

Yuan Weihong deciphered some of the content and was instantly overjoyed.

It seems? The current situation has changed.

Liu Huanglong is coming to Zhongnan Hospital, but he doesn't want to come to the hand surgery department; instead, he wants to come to the trauma surgery department. So, how should the hospital choose?
The former head of the Department of Trauma Surgery was Professor Dong Yaohui, who was Professor Deng Yong's mentor. The previous head was Professor Deng Yong, who was Professor Han Yuanxiao's mentor. The current head, Han Yuanxiao, was recently promoted to full professor and took over the position of administrative head of the Department of Trauma Surgery in a way that was somewhat forced.

Professor Liu Huanglong, on the other hand, has long been renowned, and his basic skills and accumulated knowledge in surgery and scientific research far surpass those of Han Yuanxiao.

More importantly, Professor Liu Huanglong has been awarded the title of Outstanding Young Scientist, so by any measure, it seems like Han Yuanxiao should be the one to step down...

What the hell?!

One change leads to a complete transformation.

Of course, none of these changes can alter the course of the surgery.

Yuan Weihong asked a question, and Liu Huanglong clearly expressed his meaning. The break was only about forty seconds.

This is not a life-saving surgery where a second could kill the patient; it is a surgery to save a damaged lower limb. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the surgeon to take a break.

Even as Fang Ziye proceeded with the debridement procedure normally, Professor Liu Huanglong acted only as an assistant.

Yuan Weihong also suggested, "Professor Liu, it's getting late, why don't we go down to the dining hall and have dinner first?"

"Guests are always welcome. Even if we are not very hospitable, it is still better than having nothing to eat."

Liu Huanglong himself is a surgeon, and it is very common for him to eat dry food in the canteen.

Looking forward to the outcome of the surgery, Liu Huanglong nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Guan, thank you for your hard work, Ziye, and this little bear. Go hungry for now, and we'll take turns going down to eat after we've finished eating."

The surgery must continue. As long as the key procedures can be carried out and the quality of the surgery is controllable, it is permissible for a few people to take turns leaving the operating room to have a meal.

As he spoke, Liu Huanglong and Yuan Weihong stepped off the stage together. Moreover, after taking off their sterile surgical gowns, Professor Liu Huanglong specifically consulted with Yuan Weihong.

"Brother Wei, currently, in the field of trauma surgery, there isn't any research on standardized treatment plans for traumatic injuries, right?"

Based on Yuan Weihong's previous performance, Liu Huanglong knew that Yuan Weihong had read a lot of literature and had a very sharp scientific mind. If there were research results in this area, Yuan Weihong would definitely know about them.

Just like the limb replantation surgery of that year, China completed the world's first case, and then gradually promoted the limb replantation surgery to maturity.

There is currently no standardized treatment for destructive injuries; there are no specific diagnostic procedures or surgical methods for this condition. It's like asking, "How can you predict who a newborn girl will marry?" If you could, her environment would be absolutely terrible.

Yuan Weihong shook his head and said, "Professor Liu, the types of destructive injuries we see today, such as multi-segment and full-thickness muscle contractures in hand surgery, have seen no progress for many years."

"The results haven't been shown, but the team is definitely conducting clinical research."

"Unlike multi-segment and full-thickness muscle contractures, the lower limit of treatment for destructive injuries is amputation, which is a relatively terminal treatment option, providing a safety net. There are probably quite a few teams conducting research on the treatment of this disease."

"However, after so many years, there has been no progress. There are no literature reports on even a standard probability of surviving limbs."

"Perhaps the definition of destruction and damage back then was too extreme, so reversing it into a 'miracle' was still too difficult..."

The extent of damage caused by violence is difficult to measure, and it is also difficult to reverse the state to which it was before the violence occurred.

If you put ten tons of pesticide into a paddy field that's only half an acre in size, and you still expect to find loach, eel, fish, and shrimp residue, the odds of that are like a person freefalling from 10,000 meters without any safety measures and trying to survive...

"Brother Wei, you've read quite a few literatures on hand surgery, haven't you?" Liu Huanglong asked with a smile, addressing him as "Brother Wei" politely to show respect for the scholar.

“Professor Liu, read any literature you come across, whether it’s relevant or not. Consider it an opportunity to broaden your horizons. Professor Liu, you must have read many times more literature than I have…” Yuan Weihong said with a fawning smile.

"Mom, that's going too far."

Liu Huanglong rolled his eyes: "A proper scholar never flatters others excessively. I'm only a year older than you, and I've probably spent several times more time on my profession than you have. So, you've read more literature than I have..."

Liu Huanglong soon witnessed the true nature of Beihai Yiye: "So, Professor Liu, you're a recipient of the Outstanding Young Scientist award. You've read fewer papers than me, yet your research achievements are far greater. I have to admire you. I've actually wanted to visit you for a long time, but I've never had the chance..."

Liu Huanglong paused, stopping his hand-washing motion. "Is this how you always talk?"

Yuan Weihong replied, "No, no, it's rare. I only chat like this when I meet someone as intelligent as Professor Liu. In normal times, I'm actually quite high-profile."

"Otherwise, how could they have a reputation in the martial arts world?"

"Therefore, my respect now comes from the bottom of my heart, based on genuine feelings, and is absolutely not pretentious..."

Liu Huanglong had a misconception that Yuan Weihong had been cultivating a role model image for himself, but this image was a pit that Yuan Weihong had dug for himself, and also a way out.

But Liu Huanglong had no evidence...

Treatment of destructive injuries is naturally not limited to debridement.

After debridement, fracture fixation, repair, and suturing are required.

This includes vascular suturing, muscle suturing, nerve suturing, soft tissue suturing, and skin suturing.

Each step is very difficult.

After Fang Ziye finished eating with Xiong Jinhuan and Guan Qiquan, he went back on stage and spent another fifty minutes cleaning all the wounds.

This level of wound cleaning is probably the best that any of them could achieve.

Then, Liu Huanglong assigned tasks, asking Fang Ziye how much he understood about tendon suturing and nerve suturing.
If everything goes well, he will be the assistant throughout the entire process.

Naturally, Liu Huanglong had already witnessed the depth of Fang Ziye's vascular suturing and basic suturing skills. Fang Ziye was definitely not a novice in vascular suturing; otherwise, even if Fang Ziye's basic suturing skills were at the level of a "national champion," they couldn't be higher than his vascular suturing skills.

Even a national-level expert in hand suturing might not be able to adapt to suturing while the heart is constantly beating if they go to cardiac surgery; they would need to learn for a considerable period of time.

Similarly, if a top cardiac surgeon wants to show off their suturing skills in hand surgery, they'll first have to spend a long time in the practice room.

Fang Ziye became honest: "Teacher Liu, I haven't had the chance to meet you."

"The reason I came into contact with vascular suturing was that I was taken to the hand surgery practice room by Mr. Yang Wenzheng, a hand surgeon, and tried out the tail artery reconnection technique in nude mice."

"Later, when I was in a prefecture-level city hospital, I met several senior colleagues who were very good at handling blood vessels, so I can be considered a semi-beginner..." Fang Ziye honestly confessed.

If someone tells you that the techniques and patterns for suturing blood vessels and nerves are the same, and you believe them, you might as well change careers as soon as possible...

"Alright, let's divide the work then. I'll suture the tendons, and you suture the blood vessels. As for the nerve suturing, I suggest we do it in the second phase..."

"Of course, my personal specialty, nerve suturing, is certainly not as good as your vascular suturing, because of the difference in basic skills. Moreover, the suturing of blood vessels and nerves in this patient is completely different from traditional limb amputation..."

"Let's focus on keeping him alive first. I think the chances of him surviving are pretty good." Liu Huanglong's eyes were shining as he spoke.

Guan Qiquan could understand, as could Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong.

Qi Qiaowen, Deng Yong, and Duan Hong, three giants of trauma surgery, have worked together to make this kind of disease a great success. How could Liu Huanglong not be excited about such a project?
