Chapter 1126: The Giant Demon in the Throat, a Desperate Surgery

Leeches, also known as leeches, are very strange creatures in nature.

This creature has a strong reproductive ability. It can give birth to new individuals through asexual reproduction, that is, body fission, and it can also continue the race through sexual reproduction, that is, two leeches mating and laying eggs.

If the living thing in Zhang Chun's body is really a leech, then she has become a huge natural food provider for it, providing all the nutrients the leech needs to survive.

"Why am I so sure that there are leeches inside Zhang Chun's body! Look," Li Xiangnan held up Zhang Chun's CT scan and pointed at the area where the leech was with a pen, "This location is obviously near Zhang Chun's glottis! This place has air, and it is humid and large enough. It is attached to the tracheal mucosa here, and no natural enemy can kill it! This is an excellent place to live!"

The doctors looked at each other, their expressions solemn, and were making final psychological preparations before the operation.

"But I have always been puzzled. Why would a leech appear here? And it's around the glottis. This shouldn't be the case. If Zhang Chun swallowed it and swallowed it, it should have fallen into his stomach!" Fang Yu has been puzzled by this problem. He was even troubled by this doubt after learning the news yesterday.

"It's very simple!" Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes and frowned, "Under normal circumstances, anything that enters the esophagus from the mouth will go along the esophagus into the stomach. Even leech eggs or larvae will be corroded by gastric juice and destroyed! But I think that Zhang Chun must have choked when drinking water or eating, causing some raw water or fruit containing leeches to choke near the esophagus. Some of the water or fruit pulp was coughed out by her, and some entered near the trachea! For example, this leech larvae woke up due to coughing, and used its suction cup to attach itself near the glottis, and survived! This is why leeches are rarely found in the human body!"

Everyone looked at each other, stunned by Li Xiangnan's bold hypothesis!

But this statement is very convincing, and the explanation is quite reasonable!

"So," Li Xiangnan looked at everyone and said, "Once we start the operation, we must ensure its success! There is no room for carelessness! Everyone, are you ready?"

"Ready!" everyone answered in unison.

"Okay! Get ready for surgery!"

At Li Xiangnan's command, everyone filed out of the office.

Gui Jing and Shi Fang went to the ICU to transfer Zhang Chun to the operating room, while Li Xiangnan took Wang Qi, Wang Defa, Lei Jin and Fang Yu into the operating room to start preoperative preparations.

"Director, the consent form for the surgery has been signed!" Guo Fang came over hurriedly and showed the relevant documents to Li Xiangnan.

"Okay, let's prepare for the operation!" Li Xiangnan nodded and walked towards the operating room deep inside.

Zhang Chun's parents, aunt, and Liang Mei were already waiting at the door of the operating room. When they saw a group of people coming, they all stood up.

"Doctor Li! Please!" Zhang Chun's parents were so nervous that they couldn't speak. Only her aunt remained calm, but her eyes were bloodshot and it was obvious that she didn't sleep well the whole night.

"We will try our best!" Li Xiangnan couldn't make any guarantees and could only tell the truth.

"I'm waiting for your good news!" But Liang Mei obviously trusted him very much.

"..." Li Xiangnan said nothing and quickly led everyone into the operating room.

Zhang Chun had been pushed into the operating room by Gui Jing and was lying under the shadowless light.

Li Xiangnan walked over and found that her face was extremely pale and her eyes were full of tears. Knowing that she was too nervous and too scared, he held the little girl's hand and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we will help you cure your cough!"

"Uncle! Ahem..." Zhang Chun's tears slid down from the corners of his eyes and dripped into his eardrums. "I will never drink water or eat food blindly again. I promise, I will never make mom and dad run around again!"

"Xiao Chun, you are great! You are a big boy now, and you are very brave, right? You will definitely succeed in this operation!" Li Xiangnan wiped her tears with a smile and gave her an affirmative smile.

"Uncle, I'm not afraid. I will make my parents proud!" Zhang Chun took his eyes off Li Xiangnan's face and looked at the shadowless lamp above his head. "Uncle and aunt, thank you!"

Everyone looked at each other and were relieved.

A little girl who is only nine years old already looks like an adult. She knows how to be grateful and respect the efforts of others.

Then for this operation, we must ensure that it can be completed!

"Let's administer anesthesia!" Li Xiangnan looked at Gui Jing.

"it is good!"

General anesthesia is administered through intravenous drip, and it takes about ten minutes to achieve the desired general anesthesia effect.

"Old rules! Brother Qi will use the equipment, Fang Yu will monitor, and Sister Shi and Sister Gui will provide support! Defa, you will cooperate with Fang Yu to supply oxygen and ensure the mechanical oxygen supply! Brother Lei and I will be the main surgeon!"

Li Xiangnan quickly instructed everyone about their duties for today and took the sterilized bronchoscope from Guo Fang.

He and Defa had done a comprehensive study of this thing last night and knew how to use it.

"The ventilator is connected normally!" Wang Defa quickly adapted to his role.

The side hole of the bronchoscope can provide a high-flow oxygen supply, which can save some tracheal space and help better perform the operation.

"Brother Yu! Prepare for assisted ventilation!" Li Xiangnan immediately looked at Fang Yu after hearing the fat man's voice.

Two sets of oxygen supply are used during the operation to prevent insufficient oxygen supply during the operation.

Once the bronchoscope enters the airway, it will inevitably cause a coughing reflex. When the airway is squeezed, the side hole of the bronchoscope may not be able to supply air in time.

"The anesthesia is taking effect!" Fang Yu's voice quickly alerted everyone present.

Li Xiangnan raised his wrist to look at his watch. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Ten minutes had passed in a moment.

"Guo Fang, lubricate! I'm going in!" He glanced at everyone and quickly told Guo Fang to apply paraffin oil to the mirror body to prevent the roughness of the mirror body from causing discomfort to the patient.

After hearing the sound of "OK", Li Xiangnan had almost no hesitation. He immediately held the proximal end with his left hand, knocked open Zhang Chun's lower jaw with his right hand, and began to slowly insert the end of the mirror into her mouth.

With only half an hour left, Li Xiangnan didn't dare to waste time on the road, but instead left as much time as possible for the operation!

"The tongue base is elevated, the epiglottis is exposed! See the glottis!"

Li Xiangnan calmly omitted his operation steps and talked directly about the progress. At this moment, after seeing the glottis, it was the most difficult part of the entire operation.

Here, he will lead everyone together to see the culprit hiding in Zhang Chun's body that made her cough.

Inside the operating room, except for Li Xiangnan's occasional voice, there was total silence. Everyone held their breath and stared at Li Xiangnan's movements nervously.

"I have entered the glottis by lifting the epiglottis..."

When everyone was excited to hear this, a heavy gasp from Li Xiangnan made everyone present inexplicably nervous.

"What's wrong? Did you see it?" Lei Jin, as the deputy, was already sweating all over his back due to the tense atmosphere at the scene. He controlled Zhang Chun's upper and lower jaw, and when he looked up at Li Xiangnan, he noticed the astonishment on the other's face and couldn't help but ask.

“I saw it!”

Li Xiangnan took a deep breath and replied, his eyes completely attracted by the feedback from the bronchoscope.

Everyone in the field began to breathe rapidly, and soon became heavy.

"It's blocking the entire shot! It's...too big!"

"..."

Everyone's scalp tingled at this moment.
