Chapter 654 - 654: It's So Small!!!

Soon, Xie Qingyan and Di Jingxuan thought that the suturing was done and the operation was about to end. They felt relieved for their daughter, but their thoughts were interrupted when Jinqian spoke up.

"Vena Cava bagging."

With that, one of the doctors pa.s.sed a bag to Jinqian and she stuck her hands into the patient's body cavity.

Di Jingxuan and Xie Qingyan were both shocked when they saw what was going on.

Their eyes were stretched wide and their hearts tightened.

Wasn't she nervous?

With the arterial cannulation, venous cannulation, and the drainage tube insertion as well, followed by a series of actions, a small heart was taken out of the patient's body.

It was a really small heart.

Di Jingxuan felt his knees turn weak.

Hong Lu brought them chairs when she brought them into the theatre and told them to have a seat.

When they saw the patient lying on the bed, Xie Qingyan felt her body freeze. While she was helping her husband sit, she could feel that her husband's body was as frozen as hers.

Then, as they saw the tubes out of the the heart, which was no longer beating, Xie Qingyan couldn't help but gulp.

It was obvious that this heart belonged to a child! It was so small!

As soon as the bypa.s.s was set up, Di Jingxuan and Xie Qingyan could hear the doctors reporting readings from the machine.

In the end, they got the nurses to read for them instead.

Their eyes were fixed on the little heart that had been taken out and was now being gently cut apart by the thin, long scalpel.

As for Di Jingxuan and Xie Qingyan, was there anything that they had not seen?!

Surgery was something that was normal for them.

They had definitely heard of the bypa.s.s machine and how they did surgeries on the internal organs. They had even heard of heart transplants.

However, this was their daughter who was doing the surgery, and it was one where she had to open her heart.

They were aware that the heart was the organ that pumps blood, and with every heartbeat, it would pump a large amount of blood to the rest of the body.

Their daughter was calmly cutting it apart with the scalpel and did not seem worried at all that a mistake from her side would have injured those small, thin vessels.

"What do you see?" Jinqian spoke again.

All three of them were standing behind the microscope, and after taking a good look at the heart, both the doctors were confused.

"Professor, Idon't see anything."

"Me neither."

"Over here," Jinqian pointed at the heart.

Both the doctors kept quiet and took another closer look at the heart. Just when Jinqian was about to tell them the answer, one of them said in excitement, "I see it! There's an additional nerve!"

"En."

Jinqian gave a blunt reply, but the doctor was blus.h.i.+ng with happiness while the other doctor looked at him in envy.

"Do we cut out this nerve and replace it with an artificial one?"

"That's what I thought before, but this nerve seems to have grown perfectly. If we use an artificial one, there's a high risk of rejection since he's still a child. I think that we should just use this and place it on the side that needs it."

"If we move it, the nerves are too thin and it would be hard to suture it together. Once there's a problem with the suture, the patient will suffer from the episodes in the future as well. It would be easier to complete it with the artificial ones since we can use drugs to control the chance of rejection for the first two years."

Jinqian thought about it before shaking her head.

"He's still young and has a long road ahead. It's not good for him to be on so many drugs. Get me the TBE-10."

"Yes, professor."

The doctors did not say another word, immediately telling the nurses to prepare the instruments.
