Chapter 239: That Look! (Alliance Leader STpeter bonus update ×1)

The Patient was brought in, and Tang Yan stopped chatting, beginning to scrub in, put on her gown, and take her place at the table.

"Doctor Xiao Ji, are you assisting Director Liu?" the Anesthesia Doctor asked.

"Yes."

"Impressive. Director Liu is certainly confident, not even bringing a professor along." The Anesthesia Doctor was clearly dissatisfied with Director Liu's "reckless order" and began to grumble.

The so-called confidence was definitely sarcasm, and certainly not a compliment to Director Liu.

Ji Xiang smiled and did not bicker with the Anesthesia Doctor.

Surgery, after all, relies on team coordination.

Moreover, for such a major surgery, Director Liu only bringing one Standardized Training Student along was indeed problematic.

However, since he could handle the surgery himself, Ji Xiang was not worried. Focusing his gaze, everything before him—especially the familiar figure beside the instrument table—told Ji Xiang that this was reality, not the System Operating Room.

He began to verify the Patient's information. After a few checks and verifications, the Anesthesia Doctor began the anesthesia, and Ji Xiang positioned the Patient.

Lateral decubitus position, raising the kidney bridge; Ji Xiang provided sufficient protection for the Patient before going to scrub in.

"Director Liu is like this, and the Head Nurse is too," the Anesthesia Doctor muttered. "Such a major surgery, sigh, not a single reliable person."

In his view, a surgery of this magnitude should at least be staffed with several core professional personnel. Instead, Director Liu brought a Standardized Training Student, and the Head Nurse assigned a young Nurse.

Just as he was speaking, Division Chief Bai and Lu Gang walked in.

The Anesthesia Doctor stood up immediately, "Division Chief Bai!"

"Go on with your work," Division Chief Bai said. "I'm just here to take a look."

Lu Gang had also heard the Anesthesia Doctor's grumbling; it was normal for frontline Doctors to complain about such things.

It was a major surgery to begin with, and even if all the top-tier experts from the front line were sent up, it was uncertain if they could handle it. Yet, Director Liu was actually taking a Standardized Training Student like Ji Xiang into the surgery.

How was this any different from facing a Gatling gun barrage with one's shirt off?

Lu Gang curled his lip but said nothing.

He patted the Anesthesia Doctor's shoulder in sympathy.

"Doctor Xiao Ji, you're progressing quite fast," Division Chief Bai said to the busy Ji Xiang. "Director Liu is willing to bring you into such a major surgery."

"Director Liu has always been very willing to delegate and is very good to us Standardized Training Doctors," Ji Xiang said.

"Carry on, I'm just looking around."

Ji Xiang didn't think much of it, but with a figure as important as Division Chief Bai standing there, the Anesthesia Doctor, the instrument Nurse, and the Circulating Nurse all felt stiff and awkward.

They didn't know what was happening; the atmosphere in the operating room was somewhat strange.

Director Liu entered, greeted Division Chief Bai upon seeing him, and the two exchanged a few words in a low voice. Seeing that Ji Xiang had already begun laying out the sterile drapes, Director Liu went to scrub in.

Lu Gang waited for the surgery to begin with a look of disdain.

Preoperative preparations were complete, and the surgery began.

First, Director Liu selected the first puncture incision two finger-widths above the iliac crest on the mid-axillary line to inject gas with a Veress needle. This served as the first laparoscopic port. After creating a certain space, a 10mm trocar was inserted in preparation for the laparoscope.

The surgery was perfectly normal up to this point.

"Old Lu, is the hard part about to start?" Division Chief Bai asked, tilting his head as he watched Director Liu's skilled operation.

"Just watch," Lu Gang said in a low voice. "Looking at the scans, the Kidney has already been compressed into a sheet. The adhesions inside the abdominal cavity must be extremely severe. Who knows how much bleeding there will be when he starts the Blunt Dissection in a moment."

His voice was very low, trying his best not to interfere with the surgery.

It didn't matter how many opinions there were off the table, but since the surgery had already started, everyone hoped it would be completed successfully.

Even if Lu Gang didn't think so, he couldn't cause trouble.

But the contempt and disdain in his tone were undisguised, fully revealed to Division Chief Bai.

"Xiao Ji, your eyes are sharp, help me keep a watch," Director Liu said at this moment.

"You got it, Director."

The lens entered, and the normal physiological anatomical structures were completely invisible; the Patient's abdominal cavity was a mess.

Director Liu was stunned for a moment. He had anticipated the surgery would be difficult, but he hadn't expected it to be this difficult.

The lens shifted, landing on the location where the Kidney's dorsal membrane adhered to the peritoneum.

Director Liu identified it for a few more seconds before realizing this was the fusion point between the compressed Kidney's dorsal membrane and the peritoneum.

Damn it! Director Liu cursed inwardly, then bit the bullet and continued the surgery.

Subsequently, he made separate punctures in the anterior and posterior axillary lines as the second and third laparoscopic ports, inserting 5mm and 10mm trocars. After entering the Retroperitoneal Cavity, he first performed a dissection on the dorsal side to locate the Psoas Major Muscle.

Then, he incised the outer membrane of the Giant Hydronephrosis and suctioned out all the fluid.

Originally, Director Liu thought the field of view would improve after the dozen-or-so-centimeter-diameter fluid was suctioned away, but he hadn't expected the adhesions to be so severe; the area of adhesion remained a mess.

The lack of normal physiological anatomical structures is the most difficult thing for a Surgeon. Director Liu steadied himself, took a deep breath, and focused all his attention on starting the real surgery.

He reached out, bit the bullet, and requested forceps to begin the Blunt Dissection bit by bit.

"Division Chief Bai, it's very difficult here. I said it couldn't be done; this is one of the reasons."

Division Chief Bai watched the Blunt Dissection movements on the screen closely, his brow furrowing unconsciously.

Indeed, organ adhesion is a major taboo in Surgical Operation. As for how much it increases the difficulty of the surgery, no one could say for sure.

Looking at the current situation, Division Chief Bai believed that with Director Liu's level, it was indeed very difficult to complete the surgery.

Blunt Dissection itself is extremely difficult; it is delicate work. Adding laparoscopic surgery and extracorporeal operation only further increased the difficulty.

Director Liu held the long forceps and began to dissect carefully bit by bit. As soon as he started, red appeared in the field of view.

Capillaries were torn... Director Liu thought helplessly.

Hemostasis is quite difficult, and the key was that he knew he had just started and hadn't even used much force before the bleeding began.

Director Liu sighed; the sensation of his scalp going numb intensified, and his fingers began to stiffen.

He knew very well that for this kind of bleeding, achieving successful hemostasis was quite difficult.

Lu Gang let out a cold snort; all of this was within his expectations.

The difficulty of the Surgical Operation is quite high; let alone a laparoscopic surgery, even for a major open surgery, the probability of Liu Zhuren successfully completing it is only 70-80%.

For a Surgeon, this success rate is unacceptable.

Just look, speak of the devil. Lu Gang did not feel smug; he simply felt he could not stand Liu Zhuren's methods.

But just at this moment, another hemostat suddenly reached into the surgical field. At the same time, the Suction Device landed on the crimson spot, hissing.

"Titanium Clip," Ji Xiang said softly.

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, but still handed the Titanium Clip to Ji Xiang.

After washing away the blood, everyone discovered that the clamp Ji Xiang had placed was firmly gripping the bleeding blood vessel!

The Suction Device moved away, and the surgical field was clean; after a "simple" operation, the thorny bleeding was stopped just like that.

This eye for detail is just too good.

Bai Chuzhang's eyes narrowed; Ji Xiang's quick-witted and fast-handed movements looked exactly like the way he performed neurosurgery.
