61. Keep your feet and save your life?

Chu Liang didn't rush to explain, but said solemnly to the family: "If we can save your feet, we will do our best to protect your feet, but now you should not think about this, hurry to the operating room, and save your life first is the most important thing." ”

The family members were full of trust in the doctor who had rekindled their hope, and without saying a word, the middle-aged woman turned around and went to sign and pay.

Chu Liang continued to turn to look at the orthopedic boss and asked, "What about Dean Chen Lu?" In the hospital? ”

The orthopedic boss replied, "No, I'm going to a meeting in the city next door." ”

Dean Chen Lu wears many hats, and it is impossible for him to work as a surgeon in the hospital all the time, and it is common for him to go to other places for meetings.

Chu Liang nodded: "Leave this operation to our emergency ward, you can just go to the No. 1 operating room to do it." ”

The orthopedic boss had no objection to this, but asked curiously: "Doctor Chu, is it true that you just said that you want to replant the patient's amputated limbs?" ”

Chu Liang groaned: "I have this idea, but I can only try, and I don't dare to pack tickets." ”

The orthopedic boss was surprised: "Didn't you just comfort the patient's family?" Is there really a way to replant? But the wound is so complex, and the patient's condition is so poor, the risk of replantation is too great. ”

Chu Liang looked at the time, waved his hand to the doctor on duty in the emergency department, and said, "Improve the preoperative examination for the patient, make preoperative preparations, and send him to the No. 1 operating room as soon as possible, hmm...... Twenty minutes, I talk to the family first, and then go to the operating room after 20 minutes. ”

The doctor on duty in the emergency department immediately agreed: "Teacher Chu, don't worry, when you arrive, the patients will definitely be waiting!" ”

Chu Liang nodded, and then walked to the office, and the patient's family members who had just paid the fee and signed the surgical consent form also hurriedly followed, Li Mengmeng, Sui Wanjun, and the orthopedic boss followed closely with curiosity, wanting to hear what the so-called 'not today' amputated limb replantation plan was.

"Time is pressing, we only have ten minutes, so to make a long story short, I'll try to pick the most important ones, don't interrupt me, and in the end I'll leave time for you to ask clearly, understand?" Chu Liang said quickly.

The family members nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.

Chu Liang continued: "Limb replantation is a major surgery, which requires the reconstruction of bones, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. ”

"Now patients have to face two problems if they want to replant their limbs."

"The first one, the section was run over by the wheels of the truck, the boundary of local tissue necrosis was not clear, and the cross-section situation was very complicated, for example, the doll's foot was not cut by scissors, but was violently torn off, and the difference in the difficulty of repair can be imagined."

"Second, the biggest problem of the patient at present is not the amputated limb, but the multiple injuries all over the body after the car accident, bleeding, potential infection risk, amputated limb replantation surgery will take at least seven or eight hours, but his current physical state, it is estimated that he can last two or three hours on the operating table is the limit, the longer the operation time, the worse the operation, you must be clear about this."

Hearing Chu Liang finish talking about the difficulties faced by Zaizhi, the family members once again looked like ashes, and the little hope that had just been raised with great difficulty seemed to be gone again at this moment.

The other doctors in the office looked at Chu Liang with a confused expression.

They are well aware of the difficulties faced by replantation, and it is precisely because they are clear that they will not hesitate to let patients choose amputation to save their lives.

But it is clear that Chu Liang just said that it can be replanted, and now he is emphasizing the difficulty of replanting, what does he want to say?

The middle-aged woman asked a little confused at this time: "Then, the doctor, you just said that it can be replanted?" ”

Chu Liang said: "Yes, but not today. ”

The middle-aged woman was stunned, and her expression became even more confused.

Chu Liang didn't sell it, and said directly: "Have you heard of foster replantation?" I plan to raise your husband's feet in other parts of the body first, let it recover slowly through its own nutrition, and wait until your husband's body can withstand major surgery, and the severed limb will slowly repair itself to a better extent, and the time will be ripe for surgery! ”

"Fostering, foster replanting?" The middle-aged woman had obviously never heard such a technical term, and there was no concept at all in her mind.

But Chu Liang's explanation was very simple and easy to understand, and the middle-aged woman probably understood Chu Liang's train of thought, and asked in disbelief: "Doctor, are you going to sew that broken foot to the rest of my husband's body?" ”

"Yes!" Chu Liang agreed.

Not only the family, but also the other doctors in the office were shocked.

Li Mengmeng and Sui Wanjun looked at each other in horror, unable to believe that Teacher Chu had proposed such a terrifying treatment plan.

Stitch the severed foot to the rest of the body?!

Is this final effect a little too terrifying, just imagine, a foot growing out of the stomach, chest, or arm?

Just imagining that picture, Li Mengmeng and Sui Wanjun couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies and frown.

The orthopedic boss said thoughtfully: "Foster care replantation? I've seen similar descriptions in the literature, but this kind of technique is rarely carried out in China, and the number of people on one hand is basically tried by the big hospitals in Kyoto and the magic capital as pioneers. ”

However, no matter how appalling this surgical plan was, at least everyone present finally understood Chu Liang's previous good intentions and probably knew his thoughts.

Just now he has been emphasizing the difficulty of replanting, which now seems completely insurmountable.

Whether it is the difficulty of repairing the severed limb or the physical state of the patient at this time, it is determined that today's operation can only save life and cannot be replanted.

However, foster care replantation creates a time gap, giving the severed limb time to repair itself and the patient's physical condition to gradually improve.

'Not today' means leaving hope for the next tomorrow.

Chu Liang emphasized at this time: "But foster replantation is not without risks, the implantation of amputated limbs into healthy limbs may cause new problems, toxins may infect healthy limbs through amputated limbs, and even lead to serious systemic infections through blood vessels, which is life-threatening."

"And after a period of buffering, replantation may not be able to ensure that the limb returns to normal function, and there is a certain chance that after foster care and replantation, the patient will still not be able to save his foot, and both people and money will be lost."

The pros and cons are clear, and the choice once again falls back into the hands of the patient's family.

But it's not an easy choice.

The safest plan is, of course, to amputate the limb to save his life, but his life is saved, but the person is crippled, and the life of this family will be difficult from then on.

But if you choose to give it a go, foster care and replanting is a technology that family members don't understand at all, and in the end, there is a huge risk of losing both people and money.

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly: "Amputate your leg to save your life, at least save your life, and take one step at a time in the future!" ”

Chu Liang nodded, didn't say anything more, got up and prepared to go to the No. 1 operating room.

But right here, the old woman, who had been silent, suddenly said, "You have to save your foot!" ”

The middle-aged woman said with a crying voice: "Mom, don't make a mess!" ”

The old grandmother frowned, and the wrinkles on her face were like ravines, full of years and vicissitudes.

She held the middle-aged woman's hand and said in a slow tone: "There are some things that you can't say as a wife, but I'm a, I have to say it for you!" ”

"If you make a choice for him today, let him save his life or not save his feet, he will be so wasted in the future, become a wasted person, and after a long time, he will definitely blame you, and you will definitely be wronged!"

"You are a woman, leading a child, dragging a crippled husband, and there is an old immortal like me to support, what is the life going on?"

"The foot must be saved, surgery is risky, the doctor also told me a lot of risks when I gave birth to him, this is the doctor's job, the pros and cons must be clearly explained, but since the doctor is willing to say this method, it means that in his opinion, this way has a certain hope, let's seize this last hope!"

The middle-aged woman suddenly fell into a great struggle.

Chu Liang didn't urge, just looked at the clock on the wall, and silently thought about the operation in his heart.

After a while, the middle-aged woman finally relented: "Doctor, keep your feet!" ”

Chu Liang nodded: "Okay." ”

With that, he turned around and walked briskly towards the No. 1 operating room.

And this time, no one stopped him again.
