Chapter 469 - 346: Family Consent, Three-Department Joint Surgery
"Since Director Qin can be the chief surgeon, the risk of second damage to the SRT can be avoided."
Director Pan Hai was indeed surprised, but he quickly nodded in agreement.
He is 45 years old this year and is also a top specialist in neurosurgery.
Given Qin Feng’s track record as one of the most important departments in surgery, their department directors were well aware, so although they were shocked at this moment, there wasn’t much fluctuation.
Because, judging by the surgeries Qin Feng has completed in the past six months at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, he is not at all inferior to these surgical directors.
It’s just difficult to accept due to his age.
Indeed!
It was quite a blow!
Back when I was 28, I hadn’t even graduated with my doctorate yet.
Following my professor every day, assisting in second-level surgeries, and the first time I was the chief surgeon on stage, my hands holding the scalpel were slightly trembling.
And Qin Feng,
He graduated with his undergraduate degree at 23 and completed the establishment of an independent department in a top-tier hospital at 25, successfully conducting hundreds of level four and highly complex surgeries.
If you turn over the whole of China, you won’t find another talent like him!
So, when Qin Feng said he could be the chief surgeon, Pan Hai didn’t know why he felt a bit sour.
That sense of frustration comes from the frustration of being a top neurosurgeon, an administrative director, a specially appointed professor at Peking Union Medical College, and a national-level neurosurgery primary researcher.
Of course, there is also a sense of relief.
Perhaps only such talents could lead China’s modern medicine to surpass the West, seizing an opportunity to command respect in the global medical community.
"Alright, I’ll call the patient’s parents over to discuss, and if there are no issues, I’d like to invite both of you to join me for the surgery."
Seeing both agree, Qin Feng nodded and smiled.
"I have no problem with that."
Director Sun Wenhong agreed immediately; opportunities like this are rare indeed.
"Sure, I’ll arrange the time and clear the schedule for the surgery."
Pan Hai also nodded in agreement.
Because the opportunities for combined surgeries between neurosurgery and the emergency department are relatively few compared to other departments, not to mention having two directors together.
Previously, Pan Hai had watched Qin Feng’s surgical videos and was genuinely amazed. This time having the chance to witness it live, he definitely couldn’t pass it up.
"Then thank you both in advance."
Qin Feng smiled and stood up, escorting them out.
Suddenly, Pan Hai stopped, turned around, and walked back.
Seeing this, Qin Feng proactively approached him.
"Director Pan, is there something else?"
"Director Qin, yes, in a couple of months, there will be a neurosurgery conference in Beijing, and I’m one of the organizers of this conference."
Pan Hai said with a smile,
"This neurosurgery conference is national, with several major hospitals from Guangchuan and Shu all attending. I’d like to invite you to participate; are you interested?"
"Conference?"
Qin Feng was somewhat curious.
"Yes, there will be some cases this time, including complex neurosurgeries for discussion. If we’re lucky, there might be surgical opportunities."
Pan Hai nodded and then explained.
"Great, as long as I have the time, I’ll definitely attend."
Upon hearing about surgeries, Qin Feng’s eyes lit up.
How could he miss such opportunities?
Each surgery is a reward, and the more difficult it is, the better for him.
As long as it’s something that has occurred globally and has been resolved, he can tackle it!
"Alright, then I’ll notify you in advance."
Seeing him agree, Pan Hai smiled and left.
...
In the conference room,
Xu Chenchen’s parents were invited over, and Qin Feng, together with the attending physician from the emergency department, Yang Feng, conducted the surgical briefing.
Yang Feng is also a very capable attending physician in the emergency department, with his studies and main focus in neurosurgery, but unfortunately, he couldn’t get into the neurosurgery department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, so he came to the emergency department.
He was also chosen by Qin Feng, and if the family agrees to the surgery, Yang Feng would take the role of second assistant.
"Director Qin, is there any danger to my daughter?"
The father immediately asked upon entering the room.
"Please have a seat; we have clarified the situation and asked you here to seek your decision and explain some details about the surgery."
Qin Feng nodded, gesturing for them to sit down,
"Here’s the situation: we’ve discussed your daughter’s condition previously, and I’ve consulted with directors from other departments to finalize the surgical plan."
...
Subsequently, Qin Feng carefully explained the specifics of the surgical plan to the couple.
Including the surgical process, risks, and so on...
After listening, the couple looked rather pale.
"Director Qin, is there no other option besides this?"
The mother couldn’t hold her tears back, which was truly heart-wrenching to see.
Qin Feng understood and wished he could provide a definite answer, but according to regulations, he couldn’t speak rashly.
It wasn’t just about him; it involved the hospital as well.
If anything went wrong, any single word from the doctor could lead to irreparable economic damage and reputational loss.
After all, surgeries carry risk, and even the world’s best surgeon can’t guarantee that every surgery will go without unforeseen events.
"At present, endoscopic resection is the best option."
Qin Feng nodded,
"While SRT surgery can also be performed, and if it could be done, neither we nor Xiangya, the nation’s best in this field, would have issues.
But the hamartoma has exceeded the range for a single ablation, so my personal recommendation is endoscopic surgery for direct resection.
And it’s the least costly option we see at the moment, and the safest."
"We understand."
The father nodded.
Qin Feng had said enough, hoping they could grasp his point.
"Director Qin, we’ll proceed with the surgery!"
The father then wiped his tears, speaking in a firm tone,
"Please save her, she’s only eight years old."
"Phew~"
Hearing this, Qin Feng exhaled with relief, a smile lifting the corners of his mouth.
"Rest assured, we’ll do our utmost!"
After seeing the couple off, Yang Feng beside him couldn’t help but grin widely.
This was his first time on stage with the director, and he had been worried the child’s parents wouldn’t agree, which would have dashed his hopes too.
Now, it was finally happening!
"Why are you so happy? Smiling like a flower."
Qin Feng glanced at him, unable to hold back a comment.
"Hahaha! Director Qin, I’m thrilled; I finally get to learn from you."
Yang Feng didn’t mind that he was half a generation older than the other, showing instead a respectful demeanor.
"Alright, go notify Director Sun and Director Pan that the surgery is scheduled for two days later.
Ensure that pre-surgery tests are conducted these two days, maintaining stable vital signs with daily MRI to monitor the hamartoma’s changes."
Qin Feng instructed, not too kindly.
"Got it! I’ll get on it right away!"
With that, he jogged off.
Qin Feng returned to his office, starting a comprehensive surgical plan.
He needed to analyze the lesion and its surrounding structural relationships before surgery, to determine the most suitable surgical approach, aiming to achieve the best pathway and avoiding important intracranial structures as much as possible, enhancing the surgery’s safety and success rate.
Among these, the hardest part was nerve separation!
Soon enough, within half a day.
The news of the three-department joint surgery for hypothalamic hamartoma spread throughout the hospital, astonishing many upon hearing it.
This type of surgery is certainly categorized as a high-difficulty level four surgery!
While everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, Qin Feng had already completed all his surgical plans.
"Let’s use you for this surgery."
Turning over his palm, he looked at the surgical scalpel gleaming with a brilliant blue light, murmuring.
This was the scalpel awarded by the system!
Qin Feng opened the data panel in his mind.
[Scalpel: Blue Edge]
[Sharpness: 23]
[Precision: 17]
[Durability: 100]
When holding this scalpel, his entire state changed, even feeling his subtle control improving.
This was the power added by the precision value!
