Li Zan examines the patient's wound.
Red Net Moment April 7 news (correspondent Yang Hui Zhang Shuang) thousands of miles galloped from a rare huge chest wall tumor patient, during the new crown epidemic, Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital Professor Li Zan team used free abdominal flap transplantation for 6 hours to get rid of the disease. This is another "masterpiece" of Li Zan's team's accelerated surgery since the fight against the epidemic.
The patient, Ms. Liu, is from Gansu, and due to the death of her husband, she herself has retired, and her children have not yet joined the work, and her life is not rich. In October 2019, she found herself with an egg-sized lump on her right chest that didn't hurt or itch, so she didn't pay much attention. But the lump grew larger and larger, and by the end of December 2019, the lump on the right chest had grown to the size of a vegetable bowl. Anxious, Ms. Liu visited the local major hospitals and only wanted to hurry up for surgery, but in the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the condition could only be postponed again and again.
"When I went to the local hospital, the doctor said that the operation was too difficult and this operation could not be done, and suggested that I go to Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital to see a doctor." Ms. Liu said. The local doctor who received the treatment had attended the tumor plastic surgery training class at Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital and was very familiar with Li Zan. Therefore, with the help of local doctors, he traveled thousands of miles from Gansu to Changsha, Hunan.
Seeing that Ms. Liu's chest wall tumor had rapidly grown to the size of a watermelon in just two months, Li Zan's team handled the hospitalization procedures for her in the shortest possible time. On March 25, Ms. Liu underwent enlarged resection of the right breast mass under general anesthesia and the same period of free sub-abdominal wall artery perforating flap repair surgery, and successfully completed the operation in only 6 hours, cutting the tumor weighing 7 pounds. Three days after the operation, Ms. Liu had gotten out of bed to move on her own, and returned to Lanzhou 7 days after the operation.
Before being discharged from the hospital, Ms. Liu gratefully said to the head nurse Cai Xin: "I know that this disease is too difficult to treat, God is so good to me, let me meet you, for my son, I have to live well." ”
During the epidemic, Li Zan's team regarded the fight against cancer as another battlefield in addition to the fight against the epidemic. Patient Mr. Luo is another lucky person rescued by Li Zan's team from the face of death during the anti-epidemic period. Before he was discharged from the hospital, he wrote a letter of affectionate payment:
"In January 2020, I was diagnosed with gum cancer, and a dark red soybean-sized particle in my mouth turned out to be "cancer". I wanted to spend the Spring Festival with my family for treatment, but the new crown pneumonia epidemic suddenly struck, and I could only wait at home... Because of the pain, tossing and turning all night, the mouth hurts like a pinprick. My weight plummeted, I couldn't eat at all, and my life was a mess. When I learned that Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital had resumed treatment, I immediately hung up director Li Zan's number and was admitted to breast tumor plastic surgery.
During the hospitalization, Li Zan still led the team to check the room twice a day, even in the severe period of the epidemic, it was never interrupted. Looking at the smiling and concerned eyes of doctors and nurses always makes my anxious heart instantly at peace.
My surgery was large, taking a bone from my calf and transplanting it into my gums along with the meat. With the efforts of Director Li and his team, the operation was very successful. Tomorrow I will be discharged from the hospital, thank you to this loving family for taking care of me with love.... ”
During the anti-epidemic period, Li Zan's team did not give up their patients and gave them a second life. The story of Li Zan and his team fighting cancer in the epidemic is as wonderful as the story of countless warriors rushing to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, giving them a big thumbs up.
