Chapter 2195: line with translation of title

~8 min read 1,479 words

Zheng Ren did not waste the system surgical training time; he walked out of the system operating room and returned to the real space.

Cannot waste; subconsciously, Zheng Ren strives to save every bit of time, because that could be the next patient's life.

Looking at the Fifth Edition of External Medicine, Zheng Ren began to quickly recall the surgical procedure just performed.

From start to finish it was almost perfect, with nothing to criticize.

From opening the skin to cutting the liver, this part is not important. The main issue is the anhepatic phase time; patient Chen Li left too little time for the surgery.

Ten minutes of time, Zheng Ren highly doubts that even peak-level surgical skill could achieve this. The key is that he has not yet opened the portal vein, and the patient's already failing heart has not undergone the most important theoretical test.

He pondered for a long time, yet still felt this was an impossible task.

Where is the problem? Is the Big Pig Trotter playing tricks on me?

For a matter of life and death, if the system is playing like this, Zheng Ren feels he should go find that little fox and have a talk.

Although that guy never pays attention to him, Zheng Ren believes that whatever he says, it understands.

However, that's later; given the nature of the Big Pig Trotter, it would not issue an impossible task to him.

Zheng Ren racked his brains, but could find no possibility to complete the surgery smoothly.

"Boss, the email has arrived! From King's Hospital!!" Su Yun excitedly clenched his fist, waved his arm, and the fist wind faintly echoed in the air.

But upon hearing this news, Zheng Ren's heart swelled.

He had long known it would be like this, yet he simply could not complete the surgery.

Would replacing Gai De·Wu Zi be enough? Zheng Ren does not think so. Adding Su Yun? Seems also impossible.

Could I have overlooked something? Should I raise my skill to peak level? During a surgery once, I seemed to have poured all skill points into the General Surgery Department's skill tree.

Now... even if I add up all the skill points I have stored, they seem insufficient to fill the chasm between the General Surgery Department's skill tree and peak level.

"Boss?" Su Yun opened the email, glanced at it, happily hugged his notebook and turned around, only to see Zheng Ren looking at him with a blank expression.

"Um..."

"What expression is that?" Su Yun asked in surprise.

Zheng Ren shook his head and said, "Are the blood type and match still suitable?"

"They said it was a person whose blood type and match were highly compatible, but due to heavy drinking causing vomiting and aspiration, he died just as he was sent to the hospital."

"Is the liver okay, or is it alcoholic hepatitis?"

"No, Gai De deliberately emphasized this point." Su Yun said excitedly.

Everything was perfect, yet he encountered an insurmountable problem. Zheng Ren felt somewhat worried and suddenly wanted to smoke.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Su Yun saw Zheng Ren's expression off and asked in surprise.

"Um... go have a smoke." Zheng Ren sighed and said.

Originally eager to try, Lin Yuan wanted to follow along to hear what had stumped Boss Zheng, hesitated a moment, but still trailed behind him like a little tail.

Strange, wasn't it said at the beginning that the donor was the hardest part? Now the donor is almost perfect; besides living donor transplant, Lin Yuan can't think of anything better than this donor liver.

Zheng Lao Ban, however, wore a worried frown.

Could he not be able to do it? No, that's unlikely; King's Hospital sent someone with the liver, surely they wouldn't come all the way if the surgery couldn't be done.

Actually, Zheng Lao Ban doesn't want to operate; he could truly stay off the operating table.

Lin Yuan thought back and forth but still couldn't understand why Zheng Lao Ban was so worried.

Arriving at the duty room, Su Yun took out a cigarette, Lin Yuan opened the window for ventilation, and curiously watched Zheng Lao Ban.

"Boss, why don't you draw me a Pikachu to cheer me up?" Su Yun's mood was actually fine; after hearing the liver news, he was very happy.

"We have the liver, but the surgery is very difficult." Zheng Ren said, "With heart failure and respiratory failure, it's hard for the patient to survive the surgery."

"Are you worried the patient's condition won't hold up, that he can't get through the anhepatic phase?" Su Yun asked.

Talking to someone who understands saves worry; Zheng Ren nodded firmly.

"For the anhepatic phase surgery, I think your technique could be shortened to about fifteen minutes, even reaching ten minutes I wouldn't be surprised." Su Yun said seriously.

Zheng Ren blinked, ten minutes? If that were the case, it would be great; he then gave a wry smile.

But he truly cannot achieve that.

Seeing Zheng Ren's gaze, Su Yun blinked slightly, "Boss, do you feel fifteen minutes is not possible?"

"Hmm, the patient's condition, I estimate he can't last fifteen minutes." Zheng Ren nodded and said in a low voice.

"Um... Zheng Lao Ban, Yun Ge'er, how could the anhepatic phase be as short as fifteen minutes?" Lin Yuan asked in astonishment.

"You don't know about the vascular anastomosis magnetic ring?" Su Yun said contemptuously.

"..." Zheng Ren blinked; the name sounded familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

After careful recollection, Zheng Ren realized where his misunderstanding lay. The vascular anastomosis magnetic ring is this thing; just now in the system operating room, he had not used this technique.

The vascular anastomosis magnetic ring can be used for blood vessel anastomosis of various calibers, also for biliary anastomosis, and during organ transplantation it rapidly restores blood supply, markedly shortening ischemic time.

"How come I didn't know?"

"It's a minor surgical-assist device researched by the Surgical Dream Workshop, now in its fourth-generation product." Su Yun said.

"Surgical Dream Workshop?" Lin Yuan had never heard of this company.

"It's a company in Long Peace, been around for many years. Its products have been continually upgraded and updated; they haven't yet reached the stage of large-scale market rollout. However, in Di Du there are already people using it; I've seen folks mention it in the group chat." Su Yun explained with a smile.

Vascular anastomosis magnetic ring, having this thing? Lin Yuan knows nothing about it.

Zheng Ren didn't care that Su Yun and Lin Yuan were right in front of him; he directly entered the system space, quickly selected to purchase surgical training time, and immediately entered the system operating room.

Indeed, in the system operating room, Zheng Ren found the vascular anastomosis magnetic ring placed in a corner of the instrument table.

"Um... last time I didn't notice it."

This is indeed a serious mistake.

After trying to recall, Zheng Ren gradually had a sense of it. After all, with master-level General Surgery Department surgical skill as a foundation, applying the new technique comes naturally.

Beginning the surgery again, Zheng Ren first compared the vascular anastomosis magnetic rings; three pairs of rings corresponded to three veins.

The magnetic ring tube body is cylindrical, and it is used in pairs during surgery.

On the outer circumference of the magnetic ring tube body, along the axial direction, there are several open-shaped slots; these slots are connected and communicate with the several circular through-holes set on the wall of the magnetic ring tube body; on the end face of the magnetic ring tube body, along the diameter direction of the tube wall, there are two symmetrical disassembly slots in the axial direction.

The disassembly slots divide the magnetic ring tube body into two halves; during use, they are held together by magnetic anastomosis; after the surgery is completed, the magnetic ring is separated and removed.

Zheng Ren had never seen this thing before; getting used to the vascular anastomosis magnetic ring took a full five hours.

No matter how talented one is, being able to guess and learn a new technique just by reading an article once already counts as having the cheat turned up to the maximum.

Turning knowledge into understanding, understanding into familiarity, and familiarity into proficient application always takes a lot of time.

After becoming proficient, Zheng Ren finally remarked, 'This is really a fun thing.'

……

……

Note: The vascular anastomosis magnetic ring, when looking up data, I found many related papers; it is said that it can greatly shorten the time of the anhepatic phase.

Wishing Teacher Lu of the Surgical Dream Workshop smooth research.

Without familiar friends doing liver transplants, this is too unfamiliar to me; the data may be slightly off, please don't blame me~~~Zao Lao tou zi bows~~~
