Chapter 132 The Worst Situation

As soon as the fascia and muscle were separated, Su Yang saw that the periosteum on the surface of the entire femur was already protruding from the top of the tumor tissue.

Originally, the completely separated femur should look very smooth.

But now, it looks like a bumpy mace.

This is the worst case scenario!

Su Yang’s expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

This shows that the tumor tissue has grown extensively in the femur.

Originally, according to Lin Feng and Su Yang’s estimation, if only a part of the tumor tissue grows on the femur, then only this part can be removed.

The part that is missing due to the removal of the tumor tissue can be replaced with titanium alloy. In this way, the boy can still exercise in the future and his life will not be affected.

But now, the most favorable situation has not appeared, but the worst has appeared.

According to the current situation, ordinary surgical methods cannot completely remove the diseased tumor tissue.

In order to prevent the tumor from spreading to other parts, the only way is to remove the entire root, in other words, amputation!

The operating room suddenly became abnormally quiet. It took three full minutes before Lin Feng said gravely: “Xiao Su, you and me, go out and notify your family members. In this case, amputation is necessary.”

How to do?

Su Yang thought that this boy who loves running, who dreams of being on the world track and field stage, will not only not be able to run in the future, but also that even normal walking will become very difficult.

How should he bear this cruel fact?

Is there any other way? Su Yang kept thinking in his mind.

Since the boy was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, Su Yang has been reading various literatures about osteosarcoma surgery in the past few days and studying the surgical plan.

However, he went through the situation in his mind now, but he didn’t find any surgical plan other than amputation.

Is it the only way to do this?

Su Yang was a little disappointed.

“Xiaosu?”

Lin Feng saw Su Yang startled and asked.

“Director, you said.”

When Su Yang heard Lin Feng’s voice, he came back to his senses.

“After the operation is completed, I will immediately send it to the pathology room to do frozen pathological sections to see the cell type of the tumor. I hope it’s not the worst one.”

Lin Feng said slowly.

“Yep”

Su Yang nodded in response.

wrong!

There are two special words in what Lin Feng said just now!

what is it then?

Su Yang’s brain is running fast.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind.

Freeze!

Yes, it’s freezing!

Tumor tissue is also a cell in nature, as long as it is a cell, it will be inactivated by freezing.

The tolerance of bone cells to freezing far exceeds that of tumor cells.

Can an environment be artificially set up to inactivate tumor cells, but retain the activity of bone cells?

Yes, it’s freezing!

Low temperature!

Thinking of this, Su Yang raised his head and said to Lin Feng, “Director, is there any other way to avoid amputation?”

“No need to amputate?”

Lin Feng was a little puzzled when he heard Su Yang’s words.

This situation is already obvious. Based on his rich clinical experience, there is no other choice other than amputation.

The equipment nurse and anesthesiologist also looked at Su Yang in surprise.

Does this Doctor Su have a new idea?

I have always heard that Su Yang’s clinical thinking is very divergent. The first few surgeries have taken a different approach, thinking of surgical methods that are beyond conventional, and they have achieved very good results.

“Xiao Su, do you have an idea?”

Lin Feng said with some confusion.

Su Yang’s ideas have always been different from ordinary people. Maybe, he has other ways to say that it is not necessarily?

“Director, tumor cells do not grow normally. Therefore, the tolerance to abnormal environments is less than that of normal bone cells. I wonder if we can use this to preserve the activity of bone cells and destroy them at the same time. Kill tumor cells.”

Su Yang said slowly.

“You mean, using ultra-low temperature?”

At Lin Feng’s level, as soon as Su Yang said, he understood Su Yang’s thoughts.

However, he never thought of this.

His thinking has always been that the tumor tissue must be removed.

“Yes, Director, we can take out the diseased femur intact. Then put it in liquid nitrogen, and use the ultra-low temperature of liquid nitrogen to inactivate tumor cells.”

Su Yang said methodically.

“Yes, as long as the time of immersion in liquid nitrogen is well grasped, bone cells can slowly recover their function.”

Lin Feng couldn’t help but sigh for Su Yang’s idea.

The temperature of liquid nitrogen is -196°C. At this temperature, tumor cells that are not normally growing are not able to tolerate such low temperatures.

Normal bone cells, under the same conditions, will fall into a short-term dormant state, and once the temperature is restored, they will regain their activity.

feasible!

Very feasible!

Lin Feng thought at this moment.

Not only the tumor cells were killed and the patient’s leg was preserved, but also, almost no defect was caused to the patient’s femur.

The recovery of patients after surgery may be greatly unexpected.

It can even create the best record of postoperative recovery for patients with osteosarcoma!

“Xiao Su, at very moments, you always have very thoughts. At this point, no one else can compare to you.”

Lin Feng couldn’t help but praised.

“It’s just that the director talked about frozen sections, which was just a whim.”

Su Yang said lightly.

How did Su Yang’s brain grow?

The anesthesiologist and the instrument nurse looked at Su Yang with a little amazement.

Whenever it is impossible, think of a special solution from an angle that no one has thought of.

This is the first time they have seen such a person in the hospital for so many years!

“Clinical work requires this kind of thinking. When I was a student, Mr. Wei always said that my thinking was not divergent enough. At that time, I was still very unconvinced. Now that I meet Xiao Su, I know that what the teacher said is true. ”

Lin Feng said with a sigh.

“It’s just a spark of thought, Director, can we explain the situation to the family now and implement this set of surgery plans?”

Su Yang asked.

“Well, this surgical plan is very feasible. You can talk to your family later. This is your idea.”

Lin Feng nodded. This may be another first in osteosarcoma surgery.

In medicine, any operation, as long as it is the first one, is of great value.

Although Lin Feng’s reputation and academic status are already very stable, the positive impact these things can bring to him is not small!

Lin Feng secretly decided at this time that he must train Su Yang well and let him grow up at a faster rate.

The operation was temporarily stopped, because there are new surgical plans and solutions, some preparations must be made.

Moreover, the family members must be notified.

Outside the operating room.

Su Yang and Lin Feng walked out of the operating room side by side.



The boy’s father, as soon as he saw the two of them walk out in such a short time, his heart sank to the bottom.

Because, before Xiaoshuai went into the operation, he had called with relatives of the doctor.

The doctor’s relative said that if it is an amputation, the operation will not take much time.

Instead, it takes a long time to clean up the tumor tissue.

“Doctor…Doctor, Xiaoshuai…has his legs gone?”

The boy’s father said in a trembling voice.

His face was full of bitterness. Although he had been prepared for this, he still couldn’t accept it when this moment came.

Not to mention, when Xiaoshuai woke up and knew that he had no legs, he couldn’t imagine what kind of mood his son would be like.

Xiaoshuai has liked running since he was a child, and the coach also said that Xiaoshuai is very talented, and he still dreams of joining the national team!

Without a leg, he couldn’t imagine how his son would live on in the future!
