It means that the liver source of the 18th bed is already known, and the operation will take place in these two days.
There are no organ transplant surgeries in General Surgery II because very few intestinal transplant surgeries are performed in China. The department focuses on economic benefits. If there are few patients, we will definitely not do this business if we cannot maintain capital. If there are requirements for carrying out organ transplant surgeries, at least relevant isolation wards must be established in departments like hepatobiliary surgery and specialized technical personnel must be trained. If there are not many such patients, it is equivalent to a waste of hospital beds.
Liver transplantation is different. There is a market demand for it, and it has always been one of the top two categories of organ transplantation.
There is news that hospital leaders are considering establishing an organ transplant center to handle organ transplants in all departments. However, the development of domestic organ transplantation is limited at this stage. Many regulations are not perfect and there are too few donor organs to perform the operation. For example, only about 200 liver transplants are performed nationwide a year. The National Association will be able to do 20 or 30 liver transplants this year.
It can be said that Xie Wanying knew that it was super lucky for any medical student who wanted to study to encounter a liver transplant case when she first came here.
It is obvious that the laparoscopic surgery technology that the general surgery department attaches great importance to is not the focus of the future development of hepatobiliary surgery.
Laparoscopy can only perform limited liver surgeries. Many liver disease patients who come to tertiary hospitals for medical treatment are critically ill and cannot undergo laparoscopy and can only undergo laparotomy. Liver failure can be treated with artificial livers. The only way to save the lives of these patients is liver transplantation.
It is said that there are almost no interns in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery who can arrange to learn liver transplantation, and the main force is training doctors. Most of the training doctors are regular doctors from other hospitals, which once again illustrates the high threshold for coming here to learn organ transplantation.
There is a dedicated organ transplant team for organ transplantation. In the National Association of Hepatobiliary Surgery, there is an internal team that specializes in organ transplantation. When the number of cases in a year is very small, this team is not large and it is a small trial. Specifically, it is led by Deputy Director Xue, the chief physician of the department, and the following members are mainly the second group of doctors in the department led by Tao Zhijie.
In liver transplant surgery, apart from the skill of the surgeon, the most critical point is to obtain the liver source.
Domestic liver sources have always been in short supply. The liver source can actually be a living liver, with part of the liver donated by the patient's relatives to the patient. If relatives don¡¯t donate, they can only wait for organ donors to donate after they are brain dead. The latter can only wait in long queues. This further shows that the scarcity of liver sources is comparable to gold and diamonds.
"When the time comes to get the liver source, you must put safety first." Tao Zhijie always told the doctors in the team, "Don't worry. Once there is a car accident, the liver source is gone, and the patient's life is also gone. .The worst part is that your own lives are more important to me and the hospital."
"Yes." Qiu Ruiyun agreed.
It can be seen that the doctor who went to collect the liver source had already determined that it was him.
"You appoint a new person to go with you." Tao Zhijie gave him a choice.
"Can't the two newcomers come with me?" Qiu Ruiyun took the opportunity to make a joke.
"Of course not." Tao Zhijie smiled back at him.
"Thank you Wanying."
Was named by Dr. Qiu. Xie Wanying immediately put down her chopsticks and said, "Yes."
"Eat, eat." Others noticed that she had been concentrating on eating.
Xie Wanying chewed slowly and carefully. Because she concentrated on eating, her eating speed was not slow.
"Xiao Song will enter the operating room at that time." Tao Zhijie continued to arrange for the newcomers to take the stage.
Song Xuelin nodded.
