Chapter 114: I will do the Surgery (3)
Wang Yu Yan and the team proceeded towards the Operation Theatre, ready for the surgery.
Liu Roulan was brought into the O.T.
She was given general anesthesia to prevent pain and put her to sleep until the was procedure was done.
A healthcare provider was carefully made to watch her vital sign like the heart rate and blood pressure during the procedure.
Wang Yu Yan took a deep breath, and said, "Scalpel."
That's when the surgery officially started.
As this surgery was very critical and had a low success rate, it was recorded and was seen by the senior doctors through a camera.
She started by making an incision on the chest.
This cut was made according to the place where the tear was.
But for Liu Roulan, this tear was near the main part of the heart.
The aorta is near the Superior vena cava. The Superior vena cava brings the used blood from the other parts of the body to the heart.
The tear in the aorta was somewhere where the Superior vena cava can easily be damaged.
And if that happened, that will be a big problem.
"Attach the heart bypass machine," said Wang Yu Yan.
As the heart was being operated, it won't be able to pump blood, that's why a heart bypass machine was made to temporarily take over the function of the heart.
After it was successfully attached, they needed to find the place of the torn aorta.
Now that's where the problem arose.
The most difficult part of the surgery was to find the tear.
One of the senior doctors who were watching this , said, "How will they find the tear now? It was better not to conduct this surgery."
The other doctor said, "Indeed, Dr Wu. We are not fools, that's why we suggested not to do the surgery."
Pei Lin looked at Wang Yu Yan with a panicked expression, but managed to keep his calm.
"Found it," Wang Yu Yan announced.
"What? So early?"
The senior doctors were dumbfounded.
So were the people in the Operation theatre.
Dr. Wu with an embarrassed expression, shuttered.
But said, "W-What will it do? T-The real part is repairing it. Ha"
Now that Wang Yu Yan had found the tear, she had to repair it.
The torn parts had to be replaced by manmade (synthetic) grafts in the aorta.
Thankfully the aortic valva was still enacted, so they were saved from repairing it.
Wang Yu Yan started with the repair.
She slowly yet beautifully started to repair it.
Pei Lin was surprised to see the way her hands moved.
The senior doctors could not believe their eyes.
Her hands were so calm and the movements were also poised.
Some of them even acknowledged Wang Yu Yan for it.
Pei Lin's face formed a slight smile.
Looks like he has a person capable to take over his position.
Meanwhile, Wang Yu Yan kept doing her work.
After 2 and a half hours, the aorta was finally replaced.
After the repairs were done, the heart bypass machine was removed by Wang Yu Yan.
After that, all that left was closing the open heart.
And in one hour, that also was completed.
"Done!"
Wang Yu Yan announced as she gently pulled out the mask from her mouth and a gentle smile was on her face.
"Move her to ICU, and look after her all time. If something happens do notify me," she said as she moved away from the bed.
The senior doctor still could not remove their eyes from the screen.
Some even try to pinch themselves to make sure that it was not a dream.
Wang Yu Yan walked out of the O.T. with her chin up and a confident smile.
When she reached outside, Li Qiang, Li Zixin, and Li Wei were sitting there.
She walked towards them, and without the haste, she told them the good news.
"The surgery was successful. She will be in the ICU for a week," Wang Yu Yan said as she stole a glance towards Li Wei.
The three men were relieved by the news.
"Well done, Little girl! You are indeed an amazing genius," Li Zixin said overwhelmed and he gave a pat to her on the head.
"Thank you," Li Qiang said as he gazed at her with a gentle expression.
"It was my job," Wang Yu Yan said with a smile and excused herself towards her cabin.
The five-hour surgery was not a big deal for her but deep down she had a fear in her mind maybe because of the past incident.
The fear seeing someone again in the situation she was in.
The fear of feeling helpless.
She went to the washroom and washed her hands thoroughly, then gently washed her face.
She stared at her countenance in the mirror.
She felt relieved.
Maybe she was not able to save her mother back then, but she saved Li Wei's mother.
Her mother would be very proud of her.
Wang Yu Yan's eyes swelled up with tears.
She exhaled a deep breath and then headed towards her cabin.
As soon as she entered her cabin, she saw Li Wei standing there.
Li Wei walked towards with his long legs, and in no time she was overshadowed by him.
Without any words, he took Wang Yu Yan in his warm embrace.
Wang Yu Yan collides with his hard chest.
"Thank you for saving her," he said with a low voice.
Wang Yu Yan could feel his warm breath on her neck.
But, the hug was too tight for her to breathe.
"L-Li Wei, leave me. I can't breathe," she said with a choked voice.
Li Wei widened his eyes in disbelief. This was the second time he heard his name from her mouth.
It was music to his ears.
He was too happy, that he forgets to leave Wang Yu Yan.
Not for Wang Yu Yan's pats on his back, he would've never let her go.
Li Wei chuckled as he broke the hug.
