本集简介

Pratyush prepares himself for what he hopes will be a life-changing surgery. A fast-growing tumour is pressing on his brain stem, threatening his hearing and making it difficult for him to walk. If surgeons don't operate soon, his tumour could potentially push him into a coma, before ultimately killing him.

It's a massive challenge for consultants, Mr Monkhouse and Mr Kay, who know that while the tumour is benign, its size makes it one of the biggest that they have encountered. The operation is complex as the pathway to the tumour site is very small and surrounded by a network of vital vessels. Removing the tumour without damaging anything will take incredible skill and one wrong move could cause a life-threatening cardiac arrest.

There is also a sense of urgency for Mariella. She has a recurring bowel cancer and an extraordinary operation is needed to save her life. Surgeons Mr Youssef and Mr Shariff will first have to remove the tumours before performing a ground-breaking procedure where a heated chemotherapy wash is poured into her body in an attempt to kill any lurking microscopic cancer cells and prolong her life.

Finally, over in the Major Trauma Centre, a 22-year-old male is rushed in, having suffered potentially life-changing stab wounds to both his hand and leg. Hurrying him through to surgery to try and preserve as much of the movement in both limbs as they possibly can, surgeons find that once their patient is on the table, the injuries are more extensive than they had previously thought. The race is on to try and avoid life-long pain or loss of movement for their young patient.

Episode 4

Twenty-nine-year-old Laura faces an excruciating decision. Diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour, she's been told that her only chance to extend her life and spend more time with her young daughter, is to have the tumour taken out. But there's a catch.

In order to make sure that all the tumour is removed, surgeon Ismail Urghratdar must sacrifice tissue from a healthy part of Laura's brain – the hippocampus - which is responsible for storing memory. It's a devastating dilemma for Laura. Should she sign up for a hugely risky surgery knowing that it will have a drastic effect on her memory and may even kill her? Or wait it out and try to enjoy the years she has left?

Across the hospital, Lee prepares himself for a procedure that he hopes will return his quality of life after years of battling excruciating pain. Emergency surgery in 2016, to repair a ruptured colon, left him in agony and since then the pain has been so intense that he contemplated suicide. Now he has a second chance. Colorectal surgeons Chuk Abraham-Igwe and Charles Hendrickse attempt to remove Lee's inflamed bowel and rectum in what is hugely complex and life-threatening surgery. Will this surgery finally bring peace for Lee, having already gone through so much?

And 80-year-old David needs surgery to remove a section of his oesophagus after months of chemotherapy and radiation treatment to shrink a tumour. But while surgeon Raj Nijjar knows that this is the only chance his patient has for survival, he's also aware that in a man of such advanced years, this risky procedure could also kill him.
