Chapter 812 - Chapter 812 812 Temporarily saved

Chapter 812: [812] Temporarily saved Chapter 812: [812] Temporarily saved “Is the bleeding under control?”

The beeping of the monitor continued steadily, with no significant fluctuations in values. Heart rate and blood pressure remained stable.

“Does this mean the clamp is in the right position?”

They would have to see the result after President Wu’s fingers let go.

President Wu’s fingertips moved slowly, ready to reapply pressure to the bleeding spot at any moment if necessary. Fortunately, with each movement, no additional blood poured out.

Wow. The instrument nurse exhaled a breath of relief, the onlookers were far more nervous than the operating team.

“Hurry up and stitch it, the kidney is bleeding.”

The doctors couldn’t slacken the pace. In addition to the major blood vessel hemorrhage, there were significant lacerations in the renal parenchyma that needed to be sutured immediately, otherwise, the kidney might not be saved. Some doctors manipulated the tissue to suture the major blood vessels, others were repairing the kidney, applying hemostatic gauze to control bleeding. Beneath their surgical masks, puffs of warm breath fogged up as sweat dotted their faces.

Finally, the suturing was complete, the bleeding fully stopped, blood vessels properly reconnected, and the abdominal cavity cleaned.

The abdominal cavity was heavily contaminated because the stabbing not only caused bleeding but also injured the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis connects to the ureter, essentially causing a urinary leak.

The main part of the surgery was finished, after over two and a half hours, it was nearly eight o’clock in the evening. For the final steps of the surgery, President Wu handed over the tasks to the other doctors, as he had other urgent matters to deal with.

With such a major incident happening today, it was now a responsibility of the hospital. As the dean, he had to coordinate the aftermath.

“Make sure you stitch her up well,” President Wu carefully instructed his subordinates as he took off his surgical gown.

This young girl had suffered a grievous knife wound through no fault of her own in the hospital, and it wouldn’t be right for the doctors to leave an ugly scar on her skin.

“Understood,” the team of doctors at the operation table responded decisively to him.

Tao Zhijie personally took the needle to suture the outer layer of the patient’s skin.

“The drainage tube is left large to drain as much contamination from the abdominal cavity as possible.” As the Chief Surgean called upon for this emergency surgery, President Wu further instructed Yin Fengchun, a specialist in the field, about postoperative care,”Her injury is severe. She may develop hydronephrosis later on. For now, we haven’t inserted a double-J stent. Discuss this with Professor Wei when he arrives, and be vigilant. Insert the stent when necessary, but be mindful of potential adhesions. For the time being, we can only say the kidney is temporarily saved.”

Listening to President Wu’s instructions, Yin Fengchun’s grave voice responded, “Understood.”

Temporary saving meant that if the patient’s condition deteriorated later on, there would be no choice but to operate again and remove the kidney.

The group of doctors felt heavy at this thought. Losing a kidney at such a young age.

“Has the ICU team arrived?” President Wu continued his professional duties, asking Director Yang who was on the phone.

“They arrived over an hour ago, came straight after getting the call, and are waiting outside,” Director Yang whispered in his ear.

“Is Director Dai here?” President Wu inquired, and upon receiving an affirmative reply, said, “I’d like to have a word with her alone.”

Director Yang noticed the strict look in President Wu’s eyes, and his expression became solemn.

There were management issues with both the Hepatobiliary Surgery and Cardiology wards that had led the patient to wander freely. However, the reason the patient had a breakdown and grabbed a knife was mostly due to family matters. What was going on with the family needed to be thoroughly investigated.

President Wu gestured and led the way out of the operating room first.

Director Yang turned and gestured to Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie: finish the surgery and prepare for a meeting in the administrative building.
