Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 137 Craniotomy

After making sure everyone was settled, Liangyan returned to report.

"Miss, they've all gone to bed."

"Okay, get the IV drip set up for Hongyun, and find someone who can take care of her."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the surgery, Yang Jianwu was actually quite tired. But thinking about the porridge and dishes for dinner, she felt a warmth in her heart. She was so glad she had eaten them, otherwise she really wouldn't have had the strength to keep up.

"Li Ge, keep a close eye on your blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and body temperature, as these may also change."

"Yes, Miss, I really learned a lot this time."

"That's great! I'll take you along more often in the future!"

"Thank you, miss!"

After a series of measurements, it was found that the intracranial pressure of the comatose guard had increased significantly. Originally, an epidural hematoma evacuation surgery could have cleared it, but now a decompressive craniectomy is needed. By reducing intracranial pressure, the pressure of the hematoma on normal brain tissue can be effectively reduced!

"Li Ge, his surgery is a bit complicated, watch it carefully."

"Yes!"

Encouraged and full of confidence, Li Ge, whose hair had already been shaved by Liang Yan, was shocked when he saw Yang Jianwu make a horseshoe-shaped incision in the guard's temple...

"Miss……"

"ask!"

"That's a head..."

"I know!"

"you……"

"Shut up and watch carefully!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Yang Jianwu's movements were incredibly fast. She had practiced this many times in the space system's simulated surgery and had only mastered it after several exams. This was her first time actually performing it. Anyway, the model was a one-to-one replica of the human body. Using the guard's head as a model for the exam was a piece of cake.

Stop the bleeding on the scalp with a hemostatic clamp, and then gently tap the skull a few times with the drill bit to create four small holes. Use a milling cutter to mill out bone flaps along the positions of the small holes, proceeding step by step in an orderly manner.

Looking at the exposed skull, Li Ge felt a wave of nausea rise in his stomach; he simply couldn't bear such a shocking scene.

Yang Jianwu noticed Li Ge's discomfort and tried to comfort him, "Are you scared? You've killed people before, what's this?"

"This is different... It's not that I'm afraid... it's a bit disgusting... Killing someone is a quick and decisive blow, and even the ugliest ones aren't this direct. This is a living brain..."

"It's all the same. Just treat it as dead. All people are the same. Your head is full of the same things."

Li Ge almost cried. The young lady was incredibly bold. "Miss, that's a brain that moves and jumps, bobbing up and down..."

"Hmm, you're very observant. I'll treat you to tofu pudding in the north of the city sometime. Grandma's is especially good; the tofu pudding is so white and tender..."

"Ugh—Excuse me, miss, I must go now!"

Before Yang Jianwu could finish speaking, Li Ge turned around and ran off the operating table.

Yang Jianwu was completely embarrassed. "Honestly, I'm offering you a reward out of kindness, and you don't even appreciate it!"

Liang Yan chuckled involuntarily, "Miss, are you sure it's a reward?"

"How can it not be? To make tofu pudding, you have to grind soybeans first, then cook the soy milk and add brine. It's very troublesome, okay?"

"Hehe, Miss, don't you know why Li Ge feels like vomiting?"

Yang Jianwu chatted with Liang Yan while her hands continued working, treating the surgery like an exam, and seemed quite relaxed.

"Why? Doesn't Li Ge eat tofu pudding?"

Liang Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss, don't you think... tofu pudding... looks a bit like... the brain you're processing in your hands...?"

Yang Jianwu paused for a moment, "Hmm, maybe a little bit. I can only praise your rich imagination."

Liang Yan was speechless. No wonder her young lady wanted to eat tofu pudding; it turned out she had no interest in looking at this brain at all...

The subsequent surgery was much simpler. After a thorough examination, necrotic tissue and hematoma were completely removed, and finally the scalp was slowly sutured back together.

In Dongli, only monks are bald. I wonder if this guard will hang himself because of his hair after he wakes up. Probably not, since he's not a woman. Besides, life is more important than hair!

He'll be quite conspicuous for a while, should we get him a wig? We'll see how many medical points we have later, and if we have a lot, getting a wig won't be a big loss.

The brain tissue after bone flap removal is very fragile and prone to secondary damage. To prevent injury from turning over or accidental contact, a sterile net is used for fixation.

Seeing that Li Ge hadn't returned yet, Yang Jianwu guessed he had vomited somewhere and passed out. "Liang Yan, come with me to push him to the room."

"Let me do it, miss. You should go and rest. You look terrible..."

Yang Jianwu felt something was wrong with her body. Oh no, her period had started... Periods during puberty are unpredictable and the timing is hard to pinpoint. Luckily, no one else was around this time...

"Liangyan, take him back to his ward first, I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay, miss, I'll take him back to his room first, then I'll get you some hot water."

"No need, you go and rest, I can handle it myself."

"Alright, miss, please call me if you need anything."

"Well, let's go."

Yang Jianwu returned to her room and flashed into her spatial dimension. In addition to receiving medical points from treating the people of Lucheng, a hot spring pool had also been carved out outside the right side of the space. Taking a bath there was much better than having Liang Yan bring her hot water.

The hot spring pool was kept at a constant temperature. I quickly scooped up some water to wash myself. Now I need to rest. Two surgeries are no joke. I'm really tired.

Thinking of the guard who had just undergone brain surgery, Yang Jianwu knew she had to go and give him an IV drip! Perhaps because Mo Ye was biased towards saving Hongyun, Yang Jianwu was particularly eager to save him.

It's almost dawn, so maybe we should wait until he finishes his IV drip and catch up on his sleep during the day.

Dragging my weary body to the room where the bodyguard was, I gave him an injection of neurotrophic peptide and 20% mannitol. His head had to be protected, otherwise he would become an idiot even if he survived.

Yang Jianwu walked to the table, took an alarm clock and set the time. Even though she planned to catch up on sleep during the day, she could now take a short nap. She stretched and fell asleep peacefully on the table.

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

When you're sleepy, time always seems to fly by. Yang Jianwu turned off the alarm clock, got up, stretched, and came to the bedside. There was still a little bit of IV fluid left, and all her vital signs were normal after the surgery, so it seemed like everything was fine.

After changing the IV drip, go check on Hongyun; his Gu poison is still an unknown quantity!

Hongyun showed no signs of fever after the surgery, which was a success. Yang Jianwu took out her golden needles and began acupuncture, using the needles to create an array to suppress the dormant Gu worms. They would wait for Xiao Jin to arrive before removing the Gu! Hopefully, this guy is lucky enough to survive.
