Chapter 1717 【1717】As an Assistant

The anesthesiologist gave the patient combined epidural anesthesia, and the patient was considered awake. The ECG monitor on the side of the operating table displays the patient's heart rate, breathing, etc. The condition of the fetus, especially the fetal heart rate, before the operation, all the chief surgeons have to re-determine the double-check value in person.

The fetal heart rate dropped a bit. Fortunately, the young doctor and medical student quickly persuaded the family members to let the doctor have more time to operate on the patient instead of rushing to rescue the fetus.

"Do you need to contact someone from the neonatology department?" The surgical nurse in the operating room asked the doctor routinely.

If the preoperative condition of the fetus is not very good, it is necessary to call the neonatologist down to stand by. As long as the fetus is taken out by the obstetrician, the neonatologist will immediately rescue the newborn.

"Not for now." Director Yu judged.

Immediately thereafter, as in any other surgical procedure, the assistant disinfects and drapes the operating area.

Director Yu put on his surgical gown and stood beside the operating table, while Dr. Peng stood opposite as the first assistant. Dr. Zheng accompanied the patient's family outside the operating room. Two students who just came to the obstetrics department for internship today were very lucky to be able to observe and study closely in the operating room of the delivery room. You know, the rookies who just arrived are all the same, they have to adapt to the new department environment first, the teacher will not easily allow them to enter the operating room.

"Since the two of you have put on your surgical gowns, come on, one of you will get the retractor." Director Yu glanced at the two interns and said, and quickly designated Geng, "You are a boy with great strength, so you can get it."

The equipment nurse put the big s retractor into Geng's hand.

Xie Wanying stood opposite Geng, thinking that she would just take the opportunity to see how strong another student in her class was.

Director Yu confirmed the location of the surgical incision again, and pinched the patient's skin with small tweezers to see if there was any pain before the operation. No pain proved that the anesthesia was okay and the operation could be performed. On the one hand, Director Yu asked the names of the two students by the way so that they could call for help if needed during the operation, and said, "Tell me what your names are."

Boys answer first. Geng's polite voice came out from his usual dumb state: "Geng Yongzhe."

"What about you?" Director Yu asked Student Xie who was standing beside him.

"Xie Wanying."

"Xie Wanying?" As if remembering something, Director Yu glanced at classmate Xie's eyes from the corner of his eyes.

Forceps to make sure the anesthesia is okay.

The nurse handed over the scalpel, and Director Yu took it and cut it carefully, using a transverse incision. Cesarean section surgical incision can be transverse or longitudinal.

If the wound is cut crosswise, the wound will not be too conspicuous. For the sake of the beauty of the female patient, the doctor will do the crosscut like Director Yu today. And because many female patients have learned about the aesthetics of the cross section beforehand, if it is a longitudinal section, they will happily ask why the doctor gave them a longitudinal section instead of a transverse section after hearing what other mothers said after the operation. For this reason, the doctor will cut as far as possible in order to avoid trouble. Longitudinal incision is really ugly, and the scar is located in the middle of the abdomen, which is easy to show to outsiders, so it makes women who love beauty very annoying.

In fact, cesarean sections are all longitudinal incisions at the beginning. For the doctor, the longitudinal section has a wider surgical field of view than the transverse section, which is easier to operate and takes less time to operate. Therefore, if some special patients need to take out the fetus urgently, or if the mother has other gynecological diseases and needs to undergo surgical exploration at the same time, the doctor will not hesitate to choose longitudinal section if he can't care about other things.
