Chapter 685: 【685】Picked up by seniors
There is no organ transplant operation in the General Wai II, because there are very few domestic intestinal transplantation operations. The department talks about economic benefits. If there are few patients, it will definitely not be done if the business cannot break even. If organ transplantation is required, at least relevant isolation wards should be established in the department like hepatobiliary surgery, and specialized technicians should be trained. If there are not many such patients, it is equivalent to wasting the number of hospital beds.
Liver transplantation is different, there is a need in this market, and it has always belonged to the top two categories of organ transplantation.
There is news that hospital leaders are considering establishing an organ transplant center, which will cover all departments for organ transplants. However, at this stage, the development of domestic organ transplantation is limited, and many regulations are not perfected. For example, only more than 200 liver transplants are performed in the country a year. The National Association can perform 20 to 30 liver transplants within a year.
It can be said that Xie Wanying knew that she encountered a liver transplant case when she first came here, which is super lucky for any medical student who wants to study.
It is obvious that the laparoscopic surgical technique, which is highly valued by the General Surgery II, is not the focus of the future development of hepatobiliary surgery.
Laparoscopy can only perform limited liver operations. Many patients with liver disease who come to the top three for medical treatment are critically ill patients who cannot undergo laparoscopy and can only perform laparotomy, using artificial livers to treat liver failure. The only way to save the lives of these patients is liver transplantation.
It is said that there are almost no trainees who can arrange to study liver transplantation in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, and the main force is training doctors. Most of the trainee doctors are full-time doctors in other hospitals, which once again shows that the threshold for coming here to study organ transplantation is high.
There is a special organ transplant team for organ transplantation. In the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the National Association, there is a team dedicated to organ transplantation. When the number of cases in a year is very small, the number of this team is not large, and it is a small experiment. Specifically, it is led by the chief physician of the department, Deputy Director Xue, and the following members are mainly the second group of doctors in the department led by Tao Zhijie.
In addition to the surgeon's skill in liver transplantation, the most important 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, and part of the liver is donated to the patient by the patient's relatives. Relatives do not donate, and can only wait for the organ donor to donate it after brain death. The latter can only have long queues. It further shows the scarcity of liver source comparable to that of golden diamonds.
"When the time comes to get the liver source, you must put safety first." Tao Zhijie always told the doctors in the group, "Don't worry about it. Once there is a car accident, the liver source will be gone, and the patient's life will be lost. . Worst of all, your own lives matter more to me and the hospital."
"Yes." Qiu Ruiyun agreed.
It can be seen that the doctor who went to get the liver source has long been determined, it is him.
"You designate a new person to go with you." Tao Zhijie gave him a choice.
"Can't the two newcomers go with me?" Qiu Ruiyun took the opportunity to joke.
"Of course not." Tao Zhijie smiled back at him.
"Xie Wanying."
was named by Dr. Qiu. Xie Wanying immediately put down her chopsticks and replied, "Yes."
"Let's eat, let's eat." Others found that she had been concentrating on eating.
Xie Wanying chewed and swallowed slowly. Due to her focus on eating, her eating speed was not slow.
"Xiao Song will enter the operating room at that time." Tao Zhijie continued to arrange for newcomers to take the stage.
Song Xuelin nodded.
