Chapter 360: Ice and Fire (Monthly Pass Plus Update)

Yang Xi made a brilliant debut.

Don't talk nonsense, just watch the film.

That's right, your medical insurance bureau can casually get stuck in a department, punish it so much that it can't even wear underwear, and even a tertiary hospital can be taken down by you. But that's something that the department director and the dean need to snuggle about, the little master and the little doctor, can't see so high and so far, in the eyes of the master, the patients are not divided into high and low, only the type of disease.

There is no viewing light, so you can only hold the fluorescent lamp in your hand.

Yang Xi looked at the film, and his brows couldn't help but lock into a lump.

Beside him, Gao Yong, who also watched the film, looked even more grim.

The reason why Professor Su refused to operate on him was not because the relationship was not in place or the red envelope was not in place, but because the disease progressed too late, the operation was quite difficult, and it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that it would not be clean, and the slightest carelessness could easily cause complications such as postoperative pancreatic fistula.

In this case, it is not a wise choice of argon-helium knife treatment.

The argon-helium knife is not such a miraculous knife, and even the tumors that Professor Su does not dare to perform surgery can be safely and completely removed. In fact, it is a figurative designation, like a gamma knife, a Tom knife, or a cyberknife, to indicate that the treatment is comparable to a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon.

Gamma Knife, Tom Knife, and CyberKnife, all belong to radiotherapy devices, while argon-helium knife is different in that it belongs to the category of physical therapy.

When argon is released, it absorbs a lot of heat from the surrounding area, and if a catheter is inserted into a piece of meat and argon is released through the catheter, the meat at the tip of the catheter will quickly freeze into a puck. Helium is the opposite of argon, and when released, a large amount of heat energy is radiated outward, and in the same test, when the released gas is helium, the temperature of the meat at the tip of the catheter will quickly increase to sixty or seventy degrees.

Under this principle, medical researchers tried to use it to treat tumors, using a special metal catheter, under the guidance of CT images, punctured into the tumor tissue, first released argon, frozen the tumor tissue into an ice ball, after a few minutes, and then released helium, so that the temperature of the tumor tissue frozen into an ice ball quickly came to more than 60 degrees.

This cold and heat again and again, how can the tumor cells be unbearable, and they have to burp and die.

Fire and Ice...... Anyone want to try it?

This attempt was apparently successful, hence the argon-helium knife, a tumor treatment device.

"Your father has ever made an argon-helium knife, right?" Yang Xi changed a CT film, and as soon as he glanced at it, he asked.

Mrs. Li Ju responded: "I did it once on the 12th of this month, Professor Su said, wait for a month to observe again, and if necessary, you can add it again." ”

Yang Xi's brows tightened.

It doesn't matter whose meat it is, or where it is, it's a bad conductor of heat. Although the principle of argon-helium knife sounds quite good, it has a drawback that cannot be overcome in practical clinical application, when argon is released, although the shape of the frozen ice ball is not regular, but the overall shape is indeed spherical, and then the helium is released, and the tumor tissue that is scalded at a high temperature of sixty or seventy degrees is similar to the shape of the ice ball.

After all, there is a considerable gap between the balls, and the tumor cells in this gap cannot be killed by argon-helium knives.

In other words, argon-helium knife therapy can only be classified as a debulking burden method, which is palliative treatment, and the probability of tumor recurrence in situ after surgery is quite high.

At the same time, the formation of the ice hockey puck is scalded to death, and necrotic liquefaction will inevitably be formed in the middle, which also adds a few requirements to the already very difficult operation.

It's no wonder that Yang Xi's brows tightened after seeing the CT film after argon-helium knife treatment.

And Gao Yong beside him, after watching the film handed over by Yang Xi, simply shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Ju sighed lightly and said, "It's really not good, then forget it, alas, although I am not a medical student, I can also see that the difficulty of this operation is too great." ”

Mrs. Li Ju glanced at her husband, and then turned her gaze to Yang Xi, persistent and earnest.

Gao Yong put down the piece in his hand and also looked at Yang Xi, whether he could do it or not, he didn't count, only Yang Xi nodded or shook his head, that was the final decision.

Yang Xi took out a cigarette, didn't care about others, lit one by one, a puff of smoke came out, Yang Xi asked Li Ju: "Is the medical insurance procedure of our department specially approved by you?"

Li Ju nodded and sighed: "It's really hard to speak, but I must admit that there is selfishness in this, but, Director Gao, Doctor Yang, don't worry, since the approval has been signed, it will not be affected by other factors." ”

Yang Xi smiled faintly and said, "But we have to be affected by you, if we say that this operation can't be done, wouldn't it be a disappointment to your expectations?"

Mrs. Liju's eyes flashed, and she said eagerly: "So, are you sure of my father's operation?"

Yang Xi took another puff of cigarette, nodded solemnly, and said, "If you just use the conventional instruments in our operating room, I am not sure ......."

Mrs. Li Ju hurriedly said, "What equipment do you need?" Doctor Yang, you tell me, I will do everything possible to buy it back. ”

Yang Xi smiled again and said, "No need, I just got a set of high-end surgical instruments a few days ago, and with that set of instruments, I think I should be able to handle your father's surgery." ”

Behind him, Lian Xiangdong added in time: "Don't get me wrong, we are used to being modest, and we don't like to brag, what he said should be, you can completely understand it." ”

Mrs. Li Ju looked at Yang Xi eagerly, is that so?

Yang Xi smiled silently.

That's the default, well, people who are used to being modest are always so introverted.

Mrs. Li Ju was overjoyed.

Li Ju was also excited, grabbed Gao Yong's hand, and thanked him repeatedly.

When Li Ju stretched out his hand to Yang Xi, Yang Xi did not rush to shake hands with him, but asked a question: "Li Ju, there is a sentence that I don't like very much, I have to say that for pancreatic cancer, the median survival of palliative care is about half a year, and the implementation of radical resection and combined chemotherapy, the median survival is only four or five months improved, for the survival of less than half a year, let your father-in-law suffer this knife, is it worth it?"

Li Ju did not answer, but looked at his wife.

Mrs. Li Ju replied firmly: "It's worth it! Even if we can live one more day, we will never give up." ”

Yang Xi didn't speak again, but looked at Gao Yong and nodded.

Gao Yong understood and arranged: "Then hurry up and turn it over! Next Monday, our department will be opened, and it is better to transfer it as soon as possible to arrange the operation as soon as possible." ”

Mrs. Li Ju said excitedly: "Then we will go to the provincial people to go through the procedures today, and we will be hospitalized on Monday morning." ”
