Chapter 106 Surgery(1/2)
Higashino Hirosawa had countless doubts in his heart, but he did not continue to ask Asakusa Yayoi.
Yayoi Asakusa must know some of the situation, but not too much. He might as well go home and check the news online, which would be faster and easier.
Back home, the Asakusa sisters went to rest, and Higashino Hirosawa also took Chiwa-chan back to the room.
After coaxing Xiao Qianhe to sleep, Higashino Hirosawa turned on the computer and looked for messages.
The full name of Dr. Kiryu mentioned by Yayoi Asakusa is Kiryu Masahiko.
Kiryu Masahiko, 42 years old.
Four years ago, when Kiryu Masahiko was 38 years old, he was affiliated with the Department of Medical Oncology at Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital and made a major breakthrough in conquering cancer cells.
In medicine, a study shows that human cells undergo thousands of cell gene mutations every day, and some of them mutate into cancer cells.
Most people will not develop cancer because these cancer cells are recognized and killed by the body's immune cells.
Dr. Kiryu Masahiko took this direction and developed a "cancer cell immune activator" that promotes the body to produce a large number of immune cells that specifically kill cancer cells, thereby killing a large number of cancer cells in a short period of time.
For those cancers whose pathogens can be removed, combined with cancer cell immunoactive agents after surgery, they can be almost completely cured.
Cancers that cannot be surgically removed can also allow doctors to prepare appropriate cancer cell active agents based on the patient's condition to suppress the activity of cancer cells to a very small range, which can greatly extend the patient's life.
Four years ago, when this research was published, it shocked the whole world. At that time, the Japanese media liked to reprint reports from other countries about Kiryu Masahiko's breakthrough research results.
In the following two years, Kiryu Masahiko participated in a large number of surgeries and cured a large number of cancer patients.
Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital quickly established a tumor branch to treat cancer patients from all over Japan and even the world.
However, two years later, two years ago now, after the oncology branch stabilized, Kiryu Masahiko was invited to travel to the United States and other countries to teach his experience in treating cancer.
According to Kiryu Masahiko's statement before leaving, he will leave Japan for three years and will come back after three years.
Before Masahiko Kiryu left Japan two years ago, his reputation was as high as ever, and he was hailed as the number one medical figure in Japan by both the Japanese media and the public.
Masahiko Kiryu is also the first and only person to be promoted directly from an ordinary physician to a professor since the establishment of Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital.
For a 38-year-old professor, that is unprecedented.
It is said that at that time, the Department of Oncology at Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital had to urgently add a professorship to Kiryu Masahiko.
With Masahiko Kiryu traveling abroad, discussions about him have gradually faded away in the past two years.
If Higashino Hirosawa had traveled through time a year earlier, we would still have heard about him frequently on TV.
But now two years have passed, Kiryu Masahiko's popularity has dropped significantly.
It had only been a week since Higashino Hirosawa traveled through time, and he didn't usually come into contact with many people. For a while, he had no idea that such a thing existed.
“I didn’t expect that cancer has really been conquered in this world.”
Higashino Hirosawa breathed out.
As a result, the hospital, a place where you can earn wish points, is greatly restricted.
It is a good thing that cancer has been conquered, and Higashino Hirosawa will not regret anything.
However, the timing is a bit subtle, it was just a few years before he traveled through time.
Moreover, Higashino Hirosawa carefully read the deeds of Kiryu Masahiko.
He found that although the Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital made a big deal about his deeds after becoming a doctor, Higashino Hirosawa could still see that before publishing the cancer cell immunoactive agent, Kiryu Masahiko was just an unknown ordinary doctor.
How can an ordinary doctor find the conditions to develop an agent that is immune to cancer cells?
It was not mentioned on the Internet, but it was said that Kiryu Masahiko was able to achieve such amazing achievements under extremely simple conditions, and was a super genius unique in billions.
Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and didn't go into details.
In this world where extraordinary and weird things exist, there are people who can live for hundreds of years and can transfer their souls, so it is not impossible for someone to develop a method to cure cancer.
Or does this cancer cell immunoactivator come from something supernatural or weird?
When Higashino Hirosawa thought about it, he thought it was really possible.
Comparing cancer cells with those extraordinary or weird cells, aren't they just like little brothers?
Like Asakusa's mother, she also had a sarcoma in her body. She must have used the so-called cancer cell immune activator, but it obviously had no effect.
Thinking like this, Higashino Hirosawa couldn't help but have an idea.
Or when he becomes strong enough in the future, he can catch some extraordinary beings or weird things to study, and maybe he can benefit mankind.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought I could give this a try.
…
At six o'clock in the evening, several people had dinner and went to Dongda Affiliated Hospital again.
"Yayoi, don't worry so much, mom will be fine."
Looking at Asakusa Yayoi with a worried look on her face, Asakusa's mother touched her short black hair.
If she didn't say anything, there would be no point in saying it. If something happened to her, Yayoi would take good care of Uzuki without her saying anything.
She doesn't have to worry about financial problems. She really has no money. Yayoi just needs to sell her house and replace it with a smaller one. The remaining money will be enough for them to use for a long time.
"Mom will be fine!"
Maoyue shouted.
"Maoyue is so good."
Asakusa's mother also touched her hair.
Several people stayed in the room until almost 8 o'clock. The nurse came in and asked them to leave, allowing Asakusa's mother to prepare for the operation.
"Higashino-kun, if something happens to me, please help take care of the two of them."
The Asakusa sisters walked out first, and Higashino Hirosawa was left behind by Asakusa's mother, who said seriously.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Higashino Hirosawa said calmly.
He still has 64 wish points in his hand. As long as Asakusa's mother does not die on the operating table, he is sure to save her life.
To be on the safe side, he would also throw a mental mark on the surgeon.
…
As the Asakusa sisters waited uneasily, the time quickly came to 9 o'clock.
Asakusa's mother was pushed out of the ward.
The gurney stopped for a moment in front of the Asakusa sisters, and after Asakusa's mother said hello to them, it was pushed to the operating room.
The Asakusa sisters and Hiroyuki Higashino carried Chiwa-chan to the operating room to wait.
"Special cardiac sarcoma surgery begins now."
In the operating room, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi said in a deep voice.
The person who performed the operation on Asakusa's mother this time was associate professor Hitotsubashi, who was fifty-nine years old.
Before the operation, Higashino Hirosawa checked the resume of Associate Professor Hitotsubashi. He was a professor of cardiology with rich surgical experience and had successfully performed many heart transplant surgeries.
During the operation, Asakusa's mother was first anesthetized under general anesthesia. After Asakusa's mother completely lost consciousness, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi began the thoracotomy.
Thoracotomy involves cutting open the sternum to expose the heart.
Higashino Hirosawa can easily break people's bones, but he has never seen open-heart surgery.
After looking at it for a while, it looked really bloody.
Without anesthesia, no one would be able to endure this kind of surgery.
The surgery takes so much time, and most of the time is spent on the sternum.
Associate Professor Hitotsubashi and the surrounding doctors and nurses are very experienced, but it still took more than an hour to complete this step of the operation.
After the heart was exposed, Higashino Hirosawa saw the inside of Asakusa's mother's heart.
"It really looks like two hearts!"
"The CT looks like it, but I didn't expect it to be even more similar in reality."
The doctors and nurses in the operating room couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing clearly what was happening inside the heart.
Where Asakusa's mother's heart is, it looks like she has two hearts.
One big one and one small one are all beating.
"Is the small one a real heart? It's not that the color of the sarcoma is too easy to distinguish. I really can't believe it."
Next to Associate Professor Hitotsubashi, a deputy doctor looked at the two hearts and said in disbelief.
They have seen a lot of real hearts, and naturally they can tell at a glance which one is the real heart and which one is the sarcoma.
In Asakusa's mother's body, the sarcoma heart was obviously larger and beating more powerfully.
However, the color of the sarcoma heart is dark red and very simple, and there is no other tissue around it except the sarcoma.
"Now start to free the superior and inferior vena cava, pulmonary artery and aorta, and prepare for intravenous heparin injection."
