Chapter 284： On the first day of the outpatient clinic

Chen Qi stood by the photo wall and said to the surrounding parents:

"Come on, everyone can take a look. These photos are the renderings of the cleft lip repair surgery I did before. There are pictures of all ages, from 3-month-old babies to 14-year-old children. I even did it. Several cases of cleft lip repair in adults.

Nao, I don’t brag about my surgical skills, and I don’t boast about it. The facts are in front of you. Just take a look at the patients in these photos and see if their postoperative results have met your psychological standards. ?

You think the surgery was done well, so if you stay, I promise you won’t be disappointed; if you still worry about my age, I want to say that the vice president of my majestic Fourth Hospital is a charlatan? This kind of entanglement is meaningless at all, let's think more about our children. "

Chen Qi is very smart, all reborns know the power of advertising.

A certain field department is so cheating, why are there so many people being fooled? It's not because people advertise well.

Chen Qi also expected that his age would become a disadvantage. Chinese people like to seek out the old man with a white beard when they see a doctor. The older he is, the more experienced he is. This is also the consensus of the medical circle.

So he came up with a way to take pictures of the several cases of cleft lip surgery he had experimented with before, and then developed them into a photo wall.

The photos on the wall are grouped, the first is the photo of the cleft lip before the operation, the second is the photo just after the operation, the third is the photo when the stitches were removed 7 days after the operation, and the fourth is a photo of a cleft lip. Photos of the patient's recovery after one month.

After such a group of photos, the patient's surgical effect can be seen at a glance.

When photos of more than ten groups of patients are placed here, it gives great confidence and shock to the family members of the children. The effect of this advertisement is more useful than any words you can say.

Then Chen Qi's work photo was placed at the top, and the name written in the position column below was scary.

"Chen Qi, Vice President of the Fourth Hospital of Yuezhong, Director of the Center for Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment in the Yuezhong Region, and Director of the Second Department of Surgery"

After the long list of names, those who doubted Chen Qi's age also ignored him, thinking that this is an expert and authoritative, and he is the best cleft lip and palate surgeon in Vietnam.

Sure enough, these parents nodded after seeing these photos.

Liu Zhongtian and Yu Aijun glanced at each other, and they were the first to stand up:

"Dean Chen, what, let's go to register now, can you arrange for us to have a preferential treatment?"

Chen Qi was overjoyed, but on the surface it was still calm:

"Naturally, no accidents, we must come first, first served, and we only have 30 beds open at present, those who arrive late can only register and queue."

When Liu Zhongtian and Yu Aijun heard this, they ran to the registration room without saying a word.

Gan Jinhua naturally refused to lag behind when he heard it, and ran out the third behind him.

This is the thinking of the Chinese people. No one stands out, and everyone waits and sees each other; but as long as one person stands out, they will immediately swarm forward, lest they fall behind.

Sure enough, someone took the lead to "grab the number", and many parents couldn't wait anymore, and ran to the registration room one after another.

The rush along the way attracted the attention of many people in the hospital. For the Fourth Hospital of Yuezhong, such a thing of grabbing the number had never happened before, so many doctors showed surprised expressions.

15 accounts were sold out that day, and many parents who came late expressed regret, feeling as if they had missed hundreds of millions.

Later, at the strong request of the parents, 15 more numbers were directly added, because there were only 30 beds, and no more numbers could be added.

Chen Qi's cleft lip and palate treatment center has made a good start.

The empty inpatient department of the Second Department of Surgery was suddenly full of children and parents waiting for surgery.

Children were running around in the department. Parents met so many children with cleft lip for the first time, so they gathered in twos and threes to exchange ideas.

Yan Shifan and Bian Meng were busy writing medical records before the operation, while the nurses, led by Head Nurse Qiu, were busy arranging beds and drawing blood before the operation.

In a flash, the Second Department of Surgery became the busiest department in the entire Fourth Hospital, which made the employees who were not optimistic about this project all open their mouths.

Only Lan Lijuan smiled slightly after seeing the excitement of the Second Department of Surgery from the window, and continued her work.

In the operating room.

After the first little patient was under general anesthesia, Chen Qi began to pierce the skin with a needle dipped in methylene blue on the baby's lips, draw a line, fix it with iodine, and teach the two apprentices at the same time.

"Before cleft lip surgery, we need to find out the vermilion point. For the first time, like me, first find the lip peak point D and the lowest point C on the healthy side of the lip vermilion, and then press CB=CD , determine point B.

Then set a point B1 at the thickest part of the lip vermilion on the affected side, and at the end of the operation, point B and B1 will be stitched together to form the lip peak point on the affected side. Then we have to measure the width of the bottom of the normal nostril and the bottom of the affected nostril from the root of the alar to the root of the columella.

Generally, the difference between the two can be obtained as X, and h is measured from the midpoint of the nasal fundus on the healthy side to point D. This is the normal lip height that needs to be achieved later, and it is also the upper lip height that should be restored after the revision surgery..."

Chop lip repair is by no means as simple as everyone imagines. It is not a matter of cutting a piece of flesh from the buttocks to fill it, or pulling both sides and then suturing.

In the words of Director Zhu, the operation is simple, but it is very difficult to do this repair well, because you need to be beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

This is also when Chen Qi first went to the teacher's college to attend art classes, learn sculpture, and later did countless fixed-point exercises on the model.

Just the positioning geometry of point A, point B, point H, point E, etc., he studied for a month before finalizing it.

Chen Qi would either not do it, or he would do the most perfect surgery.

He has accumulated so much knowledge and has the golden finger of "chess knife". If he can't perform perfect surgery and become a first-class cleft lip and palate surgeon in China, then he can jump into Guazhu Lake.

The operation started. Chen Qi's eyes were focused on the microscope, and the movements of his hands were very small, and he cut through the full-thickness tissue according to the fixed point.

When incision, pinch the upper lip on the outside of the incision with your fingers to reduce bleeding. Cut AB, BE, A'B", B"E' and E'B" sequentially according to the design line.

After the incision, the upper lip on the healthy side can descend and open at the BE to form a triangular fissure. Insert the B"E'B' triangular tissue flap formed on the affected side into this gap.

The wound edge of the AB line is opposite to A′B″. Suture in layers in sequence. Finally, the red lips are trimmed, and the embedding or Z-shaped dual triangular flap method is used according to the situation to increase the fullness of the red lips.

The operation was carried out very quickly. Chen Qi had both theory and practice, as well as a golden finger. He could complete the operation in 30 minutes that took others 1 hour.

This is "Cleft Lip Triangular Flap Repair" invented by Chen Qi (copied from later generations), and it is the only copy in the world.

Yan Shifan and Bian Meng are serious about their work as assistants, and at the same time, they are constantly simulating Chen Qi's operation process in their minds.

The first operation was successfully completed, Chen Qi has become a numb surgical machine: "Push the second patient up."

So the second, the third...

From the morning until 8:00 p.m., apart from having lunch and going to the toilet, Chen Qi and his two assistants performed 20 cleft lip surgeries.

When Chen Qi returned to the office with his legs limp, he unexpectedly discovered that Director Zhu Huoyan was actually looking down at the medical journal.

Obviously waiting for him, or wanting to help him perform surgery at a critical moment.

A major surgical director waited for a whole day. Chen Qi was so touched that his voice was a little choked up: "Director Zhu, why didn't you tell me when you came?"

Director Zhu put down the magazine and chuckled lightly:

"Actually, I have been in the operating room, and I didn't say hello to you when I saw you were seriously operating. How is it? How does it feel to perform 20 operations a day?"

Chen Qi patted his chest, "Don't worry about my operation, it will be absolutely fine, isn't it just a small cleft lip, even if there is a cow's lip and a pig's lip, I can take it off!"

Hehehe, both of them laughed.

"Okay, then I don't worry, I should go back so late, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"Don't, you've come to the Fourth Hospital, I don't entertain, you still have the face to go to the People's Hospital in the future, walk around, my house is not far away, let's have a good drink, master and apprentice."

Zhu Huoyan patted Chen Qi on the shoulder:

"The two of us don't use this method. You do the surgery well and succeed. This is what I want to see the most. You are tired enough to work for 12 hours in a row today. Go back and rest early, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, Director Zhu strode towards the door. A jeep from the People's Hospital was parked in the yard.

Chen Qi kept chasing out the door. What else was there to say, Director Zhu had already gotten into the car, opened the window, waved his hand and left.

Chen Qi stood foolishly in the yard for a long time, tears fell down...

Back home, the grandmother who took care of them went back to bed early, and Lan Lijuan was reading a book under the lamp.

Seeing Chen Qi coming in, Lan Lijuan quickly stood up and brought all the hot food to the table: "Come on, hurry up and eat, it's all hot."

"Lijuan, Director Zhu came today and sat in the office for me all day."

"I know, Director Zhu's lunch and dinner are all prepared by me, your master is here, how could I not entertain him properly and make him hungry?"

Chen Qi smiled when he heard it, and hugged Lan Lijuan:

"Wow, you are really my good wife, thank you, give me a kiss."

Lan Lijuan also responded to her husband's kiss naturally, and then rested her head on Chen Qi's shoulder.

"By the way, did the operation go well today? Did you know? Your Second Surgery Department was full of patients just after it opened, and now the whole hospital is talking about it, some are optimistic and some are not. You have to work hard."

Chen Qi also gently stroked his wife's back:

"Don't worry, who is your husband? Let's prove it with your results in the end. You definitely had a good eye when choosing a man."

"The bragging king, let's eat quickly, there is your favorite steamed meat..."
