Chapter 1567: Bone marrow implant surgery

In the operating room, nurses and doctors are doing pre-operation preparations.
Lin Meng and Guo Changlong looked at each other across the bed. Lin Meng's eyes were full of happy smiles, but Guo Changlong's faces were filled with sorrowful smiles.
"Mr. Guo, don't be afraid, the operation will be successful."
"But Liu Xin said that the chance of a successful operation is only 33%, that is to say, there is still a two-thirds possibility of failure."
Guo Changlong became more afraid as he thought about it and hurriedly said loudly, "Doctor, if the operation fails, what will be the consequences?"
The doctor who was wiping the scalpel stopped suddenly and whispered, "If the operation fails, rejection symptoms will appear. Severe rejection is fatal, and recurrence in a short time is also fatal."
Hearing this answer, Guo Changlong couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ah? Then once the operation fails, isn't it life-threatening?"
The doctor nodded, "Yes. Mr. Guo, if you regret now and plan to terminate the operation, it is still too late."
The excitement and joy before was swept away, replaced by unspeakable depression and pain.
The 33% success rate is not a high probability. Is it worth fighting for your own life?
The doctor saw the hesitation on Guo Changlong’s face and immediately said,
Mr. Guo, the operation will begin immediately. You must now decide whether to do it or not. If you do, the chance of success is only one-third. , You will recover quickly and return to a happy life. But once you fail, you are likely to worry about your life. So, you must think carefully."
For a while, the atmosphere in the operating room became very tense.
Guo Changlong was completely out of ideas.
Lin Meng stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Guo, give me your hand."
Guo Changlong stretched out his hand.
The two of them held their hands together, feeling the warmth from their palms.
Lin Meng whispered, "Mr. Guo, don't be afraid, I am here, I will always be with you."
Guo Changlong choked and couldn't say a word, tears flowed out all of a sudden.
Lin Meng said, "Trust me, the operation will be successful, you will get better, and soon you will be able to stand up, you can walk, run, and play ball, and you can do whatever you want."
Guo Changlong nodded, "Thank you, Lin Meng."
The doctor said, "Mr. Guo, can I start the operation?"
Guo Changlong said, "Okay, I am ready."
The doctor nodded to the nurses, "Prepare to inject anesthetic for patients and donors."
The two nurses immediately walked over with syringes, rolled up their sleeves, and stuck the needle into the blood vessel.
Hearing a slight crisp sound from the skin, I lowered my head to see that the needle had penetrated the blood vessel.
Lin Meng saw the anxiety on Guo Changlong's face and comforted him, "Don't worry, just take a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you will find that your body has become different."
Guo Changlong nodded and closed his eyes.
The hands of the two were still tightly clasped together.
Lin Meng looked at Guo Changlong who closed his eyes, and muttered, "I can watch you fall asleep quietly, I'm so happy." After speaking, I felt my eyelids started to fight, and finally couldn't hold it, and fell asleep. .
The hands of the two held together gradually loosened, and finally slipped to the bed.
The nurse put the hands of the two back on their respective operating beds.
The doctor listened to the even breathing of the two, winking at several nurses, "Start the operation."
The nurses nodded and immediately handed the bone marrow puncture needle to the doctor.
The nurse said, "Doctor, which part of the bone marrow should be taken? Is it the anterior superior iliac spine or the sternum?"
The doctor said, "The quality of the bone marrow of the sternum is very good, but it is easy to penetrate and expose the internal structure of the chest cavity, which is more dangerous. For the sake of safety, we should take the bone marrow of the anterior superior iliac spine."
The doctor determines the location of the anterior superior iliac spine, fixes the skin of the puncture site with the thumb and index finger of the left hand, and pierces the needle vertically with the bone surface in the right hand. When the puncture needle touches the bone, it rotates left and right, slowly drills the bone, and feels the resistance disappears. The doctor knows that the strength of the bone penetration should not be too great. The anterior superior iliac spine is about 1.5 cm. If it is too deep, it will damage the donor's pelvic organs. In fact, as soon as the bone marrow puncture needle penetrated Lin Meng's skin, his hand began to tremble. Although I have performed similar operations many times, I still feel a little nervous every time I do it again. He didn't relax until he felt the resistance of the needle completely disappeared.
"Okay, get me a syringe."
When the doctor said this, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
The nurse hurriedly passed the syringe to the doctor.
The nurse said, "Doctor, you sweat a lot."
The doctor said, "Well, wipe it for me, thank you. My eyes are covered with sweat."
The nurse immediately picked up the tissue and wiped the sweat off the doctor's face.
The doctor pulled out the needle core, connected the syringe, and sucked slowly with appropriate strength. Soon, a small amount of red bone marrow fluid was seen entering the syringe.
The nurses said in unison, "Wow, it worked."
The doctor nodded and passed the test tube containing a little bone marrow fluid to the nurse, already sweating profusely.
The doctor said, "So far, it has been half done."
The nurse said, "Doctor, you look tired and your clothes are soaked. Do you want to take a break?"
The doctor smiled and said, "It's okay, I can hold it. I usually exercise regularly to cope with the strong work pressure in the operating room. As a surgeon, it is definitely impossible to have no good physical fitness."
The nurse said, "Well, since you can hold it, now we should implant the bone marrow into the patient."
The doctor said, "Well, we are now going to put the patient's central venous catheter."
"Doctor, do you want to implant the jugular vein or the subclavian vein?"
"The subclavian vein."
The nurse nodded and unbuttoned Guo Changlong's neckline, revealing his collarbone.
At this time, Guo Changlong was still sleeping soundly, motionless like a cute baby.
After the nurse tried on the blood back with a disposable syringe, the puncture needle of the central venous catheter was introduced in the original direction, and the needle was slowly inserted under negative pressure. The needle is withdrawn from the guide wire, the dilator is expanded subcutaneously, a deep venous catheter is inserted through the guide wire, and the three-way infusion device is connected.
The nurse said, "Okay, now the donor's bone marrow can be transfused into the patient's body."
The doctor picked up the bone marrow he had taken before and slowly injected it into the catheter. Watching the red liquid slowly enter the patient's body, the doctor's tight face showed a tired smile.
The nurse said, "Finally succeeded."
The doctor nodded, "The operation was a success, but I don't know the effect of the operation."
The nurse said, "It must be no problem. You have done many cases of this kind of surgery, and you haven't failed yet."
