0014 Surgical completion degree, perfect!

The surgical field before Zheng Ren was very small; if it were in the past, he definitely would not have used such a small surgical field to complete the surgery.

A small surgical field means the surgery difficulty increases geometrically.

But after undergoing "intensive training" in the system space and performing over 2,000 appendectomies in one go, he had long since adapted to this incision.

Now, Zheng Ren feels that such a large incision is too crude and fundamentally cannot achieve the perfection required by the system.

If it were an ordinary surgery, after removing the appendix, one could already declare the surgery successful, then rinse the peritoneal cavity, sprinkle antibiotics, and close the abdomen.

But that is not perfect; Zheng Ren sees the surgery progress in the upper right of his field, which has just reached 86 points.

It's merely excellent, still not enough.

What Zheng Ren needs to do is peel off the pus adhering to the gallbladder wall and liver surface, so that the antibiotic can work as much as possible.

The gallbladder stimulated by bacteria has already shown signs of edema; its wall is very fragile, like delicate porcelain.

Zheng Ren has no doubt that if the gallbladder wall ruptures, his surgery completion score will drop directly from 86 to a negative value.

The current operation involves not only the patient's life but also his own; Zheng Ren dare not be careless.

His right hand holds a curved clamp, the scissors hang on his thumb, tucked in his palm; when needed, a slight motion swaps the scissors and the clamp.

The motion is gentle and skilled; most of the time Zheng Ren uses his thumb for blunt dissection of the pus on the gallbladder wall surface.

Haicheng City First Hospital's hardware is strong; the teaching room has two screens, one showing a wide-field panoramic image, the second screen's camera is attached to the shadowless lamp, giving the same field of view and lighting, so nothing is missed.

At this moment the second screen is adjusted to the main view, Zheng Ren's actions are clearly displayed.

"So skilled, why does he look somewhat familiar?"

"Using scissors and a curved clamp in this way…"

Hearing someone whispering behind him, Director Liu's face grew ever uglier.

Director Pan also temporarily had no mood to bluster; in his view Zheng Ren's process of peeling off the pus was somewhat overkill, and it could simply wait for the patient to absorb it naturally.

Although discharge would be delayed by a few days, it would not pose greater risk; if complications arose from this, it would not be worth it.

In the Xinglin Yuan forum, things have already exploded.

The live broadcast's view is more direct than the screen projection in City First Hospital's teaching room, and its clarity is also higher.

【Truly professional, whether it's surgery or live streaming—could it be that some live-streaming platform is preparing to launch surgical live streams, coming to Xinglin Yuan to test the waters?】

【Don't talk nonsense—there are no more than a hundred people in the whole country capable of performing surgery like this; no matter who, it's impossible for them to go to a live-streaming platform.】

【The blunt dissection is beautiful; my fifty-meter surgical big knife is already itching to try—luckily there's a surgery this afternoon, so I'll go give it a try.】

After worshiping, naturally it's about reminiscing, improving, and trying.

This is a common trait among doctors, at least among most doctors.

Barrage after barrage turned into invisible light, passing through an alternate dimension, drifting into the system space, and landing on the fox statue.

Gradually, the distortion in the system space became somewhat stable.

"Warm saline, gentamicin rinse." Zheng Ren peeled off the last piece of pus and also let out a breath. Looking at the transparent light screen in the upper right, the surgery completion degree had already become 97, and his mind eased considerably.

Based on Zheng Ren's experience, as long as he follows the steps—rinse, close the abdomen—the value will definitely become 100, meaning this is a perfect-grade appendectomy.

Done!

The warm saline was handed over; Zheng Ren, like an old oil seller, poured it into the few-centimeter incision, waited 20 seconds, then used the suction device to draw it out cleanly.

At this moment, Xie Yiren drew the prepared gentamicin into a syringe, removed the needle, and handed it to Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren slowly injected the gentamicin into the patient's peritoneal cavity, then began to close the abdomen.

Antibiotics are left in the peritoneal cavity; some like to use powdered cephalosporin antibiotics, some like to use the old gentamicin.

Zheng Ren is the latter.

The two have subtle differences; after accumulating thousands of surgeries, Zheng Ren judges from experience that gentamicin is more suitable for the patient's condition at this time.

The incision is very small; closing the abdomen requires only a few stitches.

But Zheng Ren did not relax; he dared not be careless. Who knows whether the system's statement of ten surgeries means only ten surgeries, or that among a hundred surgeries, having ten perfect-grade surgeries is enough.

He can only put pressure on himself, striving for ten surgeries, all of them perfect-grade.

Layer by layer closing the abdomen, when reaching the incision site, Zheng Ren thought, then took a 3-0 absorbable suture and began subcutaneous continuous suturing.

For Xie Yiren, at this point the surgery is also finished.

She relaxed and smiled, saying, "Doctor Zheng, the patient is a 40-year-old male; he probably doesn't mind scars, right?"

"I just want to be as perfect as possible." Zheng Ren said while suturing.

"In the future, if there are young female patients, meeting you will be a blessing." Xie Yiren laughed.

"Well, if it's simple appendicitis, I can achieve a non-incision approach." Zheng Ren said.

Xie Yiren froze for a moment—non-incision? Doctor Zheng must be joking with himself, right?

Yes, definitely just joking.

Although I haven't collaborated with Zheng Ren on many surgeries, the operating room always needs some dirty jokes and little laughs to maintain a simple, cheerful atmosphere.
