"You gave me a second life 19 years ago, and this time you gave me a third life. Thanks to meeting you, my life can be continued. You are the noble person in my life." Recently, a 71-year-old man living in Zhuhai in Gansu Provincial Central Hospital after 6 months of careful treatment, he held the hand of Director Han Xiaopeng of General Surgery Department before being discharged from the hospital and said gratefully.
In 2003, Ms. Li, 52, was diagnosed with a stomach tumor at the former Army General Hospital (now the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force). Han Xiaopeng was a young attending physician in the former Army General Hospital at that time. He performed a radical gastric resection surgery on Ms. Li, which completely removed the gastric tumor. After the operation, Ms. Li recovered well and was discharged from the hospital soon after. After that, Ms. Li's family moved to Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province to settle down.
In 2021, a bag suddenly bulged in Ms. Li’s abdomen, which was unbearable. She would feel nauseous and vomit as long as she eats, and her health became worse and worse. The family took the elderly to several hospitals for treatment, and the diagnosis was all colon tumor . Because the tumor is very large, it has invaded the stomach and colon. In addition, the condition is complicated and the risk of surgery is extremely high. Major hospitals have informed the elderly's family that there is no chance of surgery.
At a loss, the family thought of Dr. Han Xiaopeng who had a stomach tumor surgery for the elderly in Lanzhou 19 years ago, so he called Han Xiaopeng with the last glimmer of hope.
At this time, Han Xiaopeng was already the director of the General Surgery Department 1 of Gansu Provincial Central Hospital. After understanding the elderly's situation, he checked the cases in detail, and after repeated consideration, he decided to let the elderly come to Gansu Provincial Central Hospital to try to win the last chance of treatment for the elderly.
Then, the family accompanied the old man from Zhuhai to Lanzhou and met Director Han Xiaopeng at Gansu Provincial Central Hospital. After inquiring about the detailed condition, the relevant examinations are improved for the elderly. After evaluation with the gastroenterology department and the medical imaging center, the elderly are diagnosed with recurrence of gastric tumors, and tumor resection can be performed through surgery.
On May 13, 2022, the operation was carried out as scheduled. The team successfully completed the operation in 5 hours with the cooperation of the second department of the Anesthesia and Surgery, and the elderly’s vital signs were stable.
In early November, when Ms. Li recovered and was discharged from the hospital, she made a banner, expressing her gratitude to Han Xiaopeng and the team.
