Chapter 240: God-Level Prediction (Alliance Leader Feng Ai Yun bonus chapter ×1)

"How is it, Old Lu?" Bai Chuzhang asked with a smile.

"A lucky guess." Lu Gang was somewhat surprised, surprised that Ji Xiang had clamped the bleeding point at the very first moment with such ease.

However, he believed this must have been a lucky guess by the young man.

Although he was a Rheumatology and Immunology doctor and had never performed surgery himself, various academic papers could not lie. If it were a common or simple surgery, the sample size in the papers would be extremely large.

Lu Gang was certain that there were not many papers regarding Giant Hydronephrosis, and papers on laparoscopic surgery were even rarer.

Coupled with the fact that every paper mentioned the difficulty of the surgery, Lu Gang could sense the show-off mentality of the doctors who wrote them.

Therefore, he felt his understanding could not be wrong; given the technical level of the Second Affiliated Hospital, the surgery for Giant Hydronephrosis definitely could not be completed.

"That's not necessarily true." Seeing Liu Zhuren lean to the left and yield the forceps to Ji Xiang, Bai Chuzhang felt the corners of his mouth beneath his mask lift.

It should have been like this from the start.

Bai Chuzhang wanted to watch Ji Xiang perform surgery; Liu Zhuren might not be able to finish it, but Ji Xiang might not necessarily fail.

"Not necessarily? If he finishes it, I'll eat the Hemostatic Forceps," Lu Gang said without hesitation.

"Heh." Bai Chuzhang was noncommittal, focusing his attention on the laparoscopic screen.

Liu Zhuren was not good at being the primary surgeon, but his skill as an assistant was sufficient. He held the Endoscope, and Ji Xiang began the Blunt Dissection.

As Ji Xiang took over, the speed of the surgery suddenly picked up.

The two long forceps, as if possessed of a spirit, opened and closed, bit by bit separating the adhesions between the Kidney capsule and the peritoneum.

A few seconds later, the electrocautery "tapped" a blank spot, and then continued the dissection.

What does this mean?

Bai Chuzhang was startled, his eyes fixed on the screen like a hawk.

A few seconds later, after dissecting past the spot where the electrocautery had "tapped," Bai Chuzhang vaguely noticed that something there was a little different.

It seemed like there were capillaries, and yet it seemed like there were none.

Bai Chuzhang felt as if the blood in his entire body had stopped flowing, and the temperature of his hands and feet dropped instantly.

Having started as a Surgeon, he understood too well the importance of anticipation, especially for a neurosurgeon.

In Thoracic Surgery, General Surgery, and Orthopedic Surgery, one could just use electrocautery to stop bleeding when encountering capillaries; it was nothing at all, but in neurosurgery, it wouldn't work. Their surgical field was extremely small, and the slightest mistake would lead to a pool of blood under the Microscope, making the surgery impossible to continue.

Ji Xiang's technique was quite beautiful, having reached a state of supreme skill that hides its own cleverness.

If Bai Chuzhang hadn't already reached the level of aneurysm surgery before going to the administrative office, he wouldn't have understood it either.

But even if Bai Chuzhang could vaguely understand it, he didn't believe that Ji Xiang, at such a young age, could reach this height!

Perhaps I saw it wrong, Bai Chuzhang thought to himself.

However, his gaze remained fixed on the screen, his eyes not blinking even once, for fear of missing something.

Ji Xiang's surgery was not fast, but he never hesitated; every step was as standard as a teaching video.

Because there was no hesitation and no interruptions, the surgery looked like it was being done at lightning speed.

A few seconds later, Ji Xiang paused again; he took the electrocautery and "tapped" a spot above the dissection area, then continued the surgery.

There was no problem there; Bai Chuzhang's eyes were almost popping out, yet he still didn't see any trace of capillaries.

But to say Ji Xiang was just messing around—he had already separated about 3cm of adhesions without seeing a single drop of blood.

Ji Xiang's surgery was completely different from Liu Zhuren's.

Liu Zhuren would cause bleeding as soon as he started, making the surgical field look messy and dirty. Ji Xiang's surgery was not only clean in technique, but the surgical field was also pristine.

Countless surgical images flashed through Bai Chuzhang's mind, including many endoscopic images of brain hemorrhages he had performed himself.

Neurosurgery feared bleeding the most; one had to be extremely careful with the Suction Device on the soft brain tissue, for fear of accidentally sucking away a chunk of brain tissue in a moment of carelessness.

If that happened, even the surgeon wouldn't know what kind of abnormalities the Patient would suffer post-operatively.

He stood stunned for a while, and by the time he regained his senses, Ji Xiang had already dissected nearly 8cm of adhesions.

As for the process in between, and exactly what Ji Xiang had done, Bai Chuzhang had actually failed to perceive it!

Bai Chuzhang was stunned.

The superb surgical technique Ji Xiang displayed left him bewildered.

It looked simple, easy, and effortless, but how many people could actually do it!

Bai Chuzhang put himself in the place of the surgeon, and he knew he certainly couldn't do it.

By the time the surgery reached this point, Lu Gang, who was beside Bai Chuzhang, had also begun to see some clues.

Lu Gang was an Internal Medicine Department doctor and had never performed surgery, so his reaction was not as fast as Bai Chuzhang's.

Originally, he was certain that Liu Zhuren from the Urology Department could not complete the surgery, but when Liu Zhuren went to hold the Endoscope and changed the surgeon, the speed of the surgery suddenly took off.

Speed was not important; being a minute faster or slower did not determine life or death.

What was important was that in this minute or so, there had been no signs of further bleeding in the surgical field!

Lu Gang did not know the difficulty of this operation; he was just surprised, and even began to doubt himself.

Could it be that he was wrong? Or were the authors of the papers exaggerating?

Ji Xiang had no emotions; he just performed the surgery in silence.

Before going into surgery, he had gone to the System Operating Room and performed the procedure on the current Patient several times.

He could avoid where the bleeding would occur the first time he performed it, and after doing it several times, it became even more handy when he used it again.

Having used the skill "Clear Insight" multiple times, Ji Xiang gradually gained some realization. He could anticipate and avoid potential bleeding spots in advance, making the surgery go smoothly, which made Ji Xiang very happy.

Soon, the Blunt Dissection was finished, and Ji Xiang let out a sigh of relief.

"Prepare warm Saline for irrigation," Ji Xiang said softly.

"Uh... so fast?!" Tang Yan was surprised.

"Let's irrigate first, I want to see the situation inside," Ji Xiang explained.

He was still a bit unaccustomed to it; in the System Operating Room, no one would talk, and no matter what he asked for, it would be delivered in the next second.

"Li Jie, warm Saline..." Tang Yan called out to the Circulating Nurse.

The Circulating Nurse was also stunned for a moment, "Liu Zhuren, I didn't expect you all to perform the surgery so quickly; I haven't prepared it yet. Wait a moment, wait a moment."

Liu Zhuren was also inexplicably taken aback; he was so immersed in the surgery Ji Xiang had just completed that he found it hard to pull himself away.

Seeing that Liu Zhuren did not speak, the Circulating Nurse asked cautiously, "Fifteen minutes, that won't delay anything, will it?"

Irrigation is a major matter; some surgeons would curse loudly if the warm Saline wasn't prepared in advance. The Circulating Nurse also knew she had made a mistake, and with Bai Chuzhang present, she asked in a rarely seen low-profile manner.

"Then forget it." Ji Xiang felt a bit helpless, but this step was not important, and not irrigating wouldn't affect anything, "If there isn't any, I'll just continue the surgery."

"I'll go warm it now. Lao Liu Zhuren, what did you eat today? How is the surgery being done so fast?" The Circulating Nurse leaned over and saw Liu Zhuren holding the Endoscope, his mask nearly falling off and contaminating the surgical field.

She knew she had said the wrong thing, turned around, and trotted off to prepare the warm Saline.
