Chapter 663: The Surgery No One Dare To Perform
In the entire medical doctor, most of the medical staff knew Qiu Qinghu and Fang Wenwen, and many people had eaten their dog food.
No one wants this loving couple to be separated.
But life always goes against one’s wishes. Although it is impossible to have a perfect ending, others including Shi Lian still hope that Fang Wenwen can survive on Qiu Qinghu’s liver!
But because of my understanding of medicine, Shi Lian and others became even more desperate.
The premise of liver transplantation is that only tumors in situ, that is, only cancer cells exist in the liver itself.
Only in this way can it be possible to eradicate cancer by replacing a healthy liver.
Only a few types of early-stage small liver cancer can do this, while advanced liver cancer basically has distant metastasis. Even if a liver transplant occurs, cancer will grow again in other parts of the body, and the symptoms are not the root cause.
In this case, the trauma caused by surgery will accelerate the patient's death, and conservative treatment can extend life even more.
However, even though he didn't have any hope, Shi Lian and others still had a little fantasy.
Maybe Xu Qiu can?
Dr. Xu has created so many miracles. It may be possible to save another one.
At this moment, when Xu Qiu said that he would attend the meeting in person, Shi Lian knew that it was stable... Fang Wenwen was saved!
...
Hepatobiliary department, conference room.
Xu Qiu pushed the door and entered, all his eyes moved and gathered on Xu Qiu.
"Doctor Xu!"
"Director Xu."
Everyone stopped arguing for the time being and greeted Xu Qiu one after another.
After Xu Qiu sat down, he looked at the screen.
The above is a liver transplant case from Renji Hospital of the Magic City Jiaotong University.
The operation was performed in December of the previous year. The patient was diagnosed with liver cancer in December, and had an interventional treatment in January of the following year. In June, he arrived at the liver source and underwent a transplant.
Everything was normal in the first two months after the operation.
At the third month, alpha-fetoprotein increased to 96, and petct was immediately performed on the second day of the re-examination, confirming that there was bone metastasis and lung metastasis. In the middle of the fourth month after the operation, the patient's condition worsened and he stopped breathing.
According to the original progress of the disease, if targeted drugs such as sorafenib are used directly, the patient should be able to live for two or three years, and it is possible that good luck will last for ten years, but it was that liver transplant that pushed him to death.
Director of Liver and Gallbladder of Linyi said: "Director Xu, this is the case. Not all liver cancers are suitable for liver transplantation. If you don't have surgery, Fang Wenwen may be able to live for a few months, but after the surgery, she may be on the stage and she will be in the iCu when she gets off the stage!"
With Fang Wenwen's financial conditions, she absolutely cannot afford the cost of the intensive care unit.
Even if it can, the couple had already made it clear that they had to leave money to their daughter, so how could they waste it on the additional treatment after the operation?
Mo Wan is also in the conference room.
As a proud student of Academician Chen, she is known as the first person in the younger generation to be brave. In this expert consultation, her qualifications and abilities are even higher than those of the director.
"Doctor Mo, what do you think?" Director of the liver and gallbladder looked at her.
Mo Wan nodded: "It's true in theory..."
For many patients with liver cancer, conservative treatment can lead to longer life, while surgery will accelerate death.
This is not just because of surgical damage.
More importantly, immunosuppressants are needed after liver transplantation. This drug will promote the growth of tumors, causing the rapid recurrence of metastatic tumor cells in the blood and the rapid deterioration of the disease.
Mo Wan said: "Also, the patient's condition is still very poor, but he barely meets the standard of liver transplantation. Even if you do not consider the post-operative operation, it will be difficult just to survive the operation."
She shook her head and said, "This operation is very difficult, I am not sure. My teacher, Academician Chen, may be able to challenge him when he was young, but now, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do." ωωw..net
The steps for in situ liver cancer transplantation are very cumbersome, so the upper limit of speed is there.
No matter how fast you do it, the patient will not stop during the liver-free period, and the amount of blood loss during the operation will be large, so the patient's body may not be able to withstand this damage.
Even if Xu Qiulai is, even if he masters the orthotopic liver transplantation technique that he is proficient in, it will be difficult to break the limitations of the technology itself.
"Academician Chen is not good?"
"Dr. Mo has participated in the World Competition before and won the top 30. He is one of the most famous doctors in the hepatobiliary department. He is not inferior to Academician Chen of the same age. Even Dr. Mo thinks the surgery is not advisable!"
Everyone sighed... The love story between Qiu Qinghu and Fang Wenwen is very touching, but cruelty is the norm in reality.
"Is there any other way besides transplant?" At this time, Xu Qiu's voice broke the silence.
Everyone looked at it quickly, their eyes a little confused.
What does this mean?
Xu Qiu raised his head and said lightly: "I talked to them a few weeks ago. Qiu Qinghu is very determined. All organs of his body can be donated, but this liver must be given to Fang Wenwen, and only to Fang Wenwen."
Mo Wan and others were silent.
They originally thought that this liver source would not have much hope for Fang Wenwen, so they could be donated to the Red Cross and handed over to the human organ donation center to match the next recipient and save another person.
As a result, Qiu Qinghu had already made plans. Except for Fang Wenwen, he refused his liver to flow anywhere else!
Can you say he is selfish?
No one has the qualification.
Qiu Qinghu has signed an agreement to donate all available organs, such as heart, cornea, etc., leaving only one liver for his wife.
He doesn't want others to take it away in any way.
For most people, strangers have nothing to do with themselves. What kind of righteousness or great love will become empty after death. He has already given all his generosity, but he only wants to use his liver to save his lover. It is nothing wrong.
Xu Qiu said: "A few weeks ago, Fang Wenwen was still hesitant, but today she also made a decision to agree to perform this liver transplant.
"The couple have been struggling in pain for a long time. It's not whether we want to do this operation, but that they begged us to do it. The operation was successful and saved her life. If the operation failed, she could also get relief."
These words are not something a doctor should say, but they are facts.
...
Half an hour later.
The director of the Department of Hepatobiliary Department found that he could not find any reason to object, and sighed and said, "Dr. Xu, our Department of Hepatobiliary Department cannot carry out this surgery. Do you see if you can..."
Upon hearing this, everyone else cast anticipated eyes.
Even Mo Wan couldn't help looking at Xu Qiu... Yes, no one present had any confidence. Even she herself could not have one-tenth of the success rate of the surgery. Only Xu Qiu, who is always creating miracles, dares to say that she can take charge of the surgery!
