Chapter 983: 【983】Departmental meeting convened

In the afternoon, an internal meeting was held in the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, mainly to discuss the surgical demonstrations that were being prepared for the National Conference on Hepatobiliary Pancreatic and Splenic Surgery.

Each group presented suitable cases for selection.

The cases needed to be carefully chosen since the surgery demonstration at the conference would be live. Live surgery does not allow for failure, especially when showcased in front of peers nationwide for teaching and exchange purposes, to display the hospital and department’s professional and technical strength. If there were a risk of failure during surgery, it would be a disgrace in front of the entire country.

Section Chief Yang from the Medical Education Department personally attended the meeting, leading people to join in the discussions of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, as it was a matter concerning the hospital’s reputation and the need to ensure the surgery was foolproof.

The ideal patient would have a good physical foundation to minimize the risk of surgery. However, if the surgery is too simple, showcasing it in front of peers could be privately ridiculed as incompetence.

The doctors found themselves in a bit of a dilemma.

Five or six patient records were placed in front of Director Tang. Director Tang flipped through one after another.

Section Chief Yang asked, "Don’t you have a more certain direction?"

Generally, deciding what type of surgical demonstration the doctors attending the conference wanted to do would be easier if they had a clear idea of the direction, so they wouldn’t be aimless.

The Hepatobiliary Surgery Department mainly had these types of patients: liver tumor surgery, biliary tract stone surgery, pancreatic cancer surgery, liver transplant surgery, and splenic surgery.

The mainstream national technology now leans towards laparoscopic rather than traditional open surgery. The colleagues attending the meeting would surely want to see the most exquisite laparoscopic hepatobiliary pancreatic and splenic surgery.

"Previously, our hospital has participated in such activities more than once," Section Chief Yang shared with the colleagues present, "General Surgery Department Two took part in such an event two years ago, where Dr. Tan’s surgery demonstration won full house applause from the attendees. How about inviting Dr. Tan to come over and give your department some reference advice?"

In fact, as the most well-known Hepatobiliary Surgery Department in the country, the doctors have often participated in academic exchange activities domestically and internationally. It’s just that in recent years, they really haven’t taken part in live surgery demonstrations, so they lack experience in this area. Because such live demonstrations at conferences have only become popular in recent years. Previously, the necessary hardware and software conditions simply did not exist.

Thinking about it, the nationwide renovation of clean surgery rooms only began to spread in major cities and hospitals at the end of the 90s. To this day, many grassroots hospitals simply cannot afford such renovations without financial support from the government.

It’s beneficial to hear practical experience from those who have gone through it.

"Is Dr. Tan available?" Director Tang asked.

"In that case, I’ll send someone to invite him over," said Director Yang, who caught a glimpse of Xie Wanying and had a bright idea, instructing her, "You go, Dr. Xie, you’re familiar with your Teacher Tan."

Senior Tao and other senior colleagues in the group, upon hearing Section Chief Yang’s words, seemed to express that nothing good was coming.

Sitting beside her, Senior He even intentionally turned back and gave her a look: Don’t just chat and gossip about the old days with old colleagues after going back to your former department.

How could she dare? She always kept Senior Kang’s warnings in mind.

Xie Wanying carefully stood up, obeying the leader’s instruction, and after leaving the conference room, quickly headed to General Surgery Department Two.

It had been a while since she left General Surgery Department Two, and upon her return, she met Sister Lingling, feeling quite excited.

"What brings you back here?" Sister Lingling asked her eagerly, grabbing her hand.
