Chapter 2341: 2261 Perfect Instrument Nurse (Alliance Leader IvanLIN Bonus Chapter 4)

The difficulty of the surgery lies in the inconsistent heartbeats of the two children, yet their atria are connected.

They affect each other, causing the heart to be 'self-contradictory', unable to grow healthily. At the same time, this also brings endless variables to the surgery.

This point is the most difficult part of the entire surgery, its impact is huge, to the extent that the doctors at Philadelphia Children's Hospital gave up the surgery.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun's first cooperation ended in failure before they even touched this difficulty.

After the surgery failed, Su Yun frowned, unusually without nagging or chatter, instead staring fixedly at the 3D-printed simulated conjoined twin. No one knew what he was thinking.

Director Han sighed inwardly, indeed it still wasn't working.

In the simulated surgery, the heart of the 3D-printed simulated conjoined twin is fixed and immobile, causing the difficulty to suddenly drop.

Even so, Zheng Lao Ban took on suturing the atrial septum of the smaller twin, but on his side, suturing the atrial septum of the larger twin encountered problems.

It was clear that the Su Yun beside him could not complete the atrial repair in a short time.

His technique was somewhat strange, swift and fierce, yet impractical. Director Han glanced at Su Yun with the corner of his eye. He was good-looking, and his surgery… for his age was not bad.

But unfortunately, it was still not enough.

"How is it?" Zheng Ren suddenly asked.

"It's fine, I was overthinking." Su Yun said calmly, not discouraged.

The two suddenly began a aimless conversation, which became the only sound in the demonstration room.

"First practice coordination, don't worry about the heartbeat." Zheng Ren said in a low voice.

"Hmm, change to another 3D-printed simulated conjoined twin and continue with the heart."

"President Chen, once more." Zheng Ren said.

Vice President Chen immediately had someone replace the model and start the next surgery.

They no longer did the liver part; Zheng Lao Ban had no problem with that section. This time they went straight to the point, opening the heart portion.

After opening the chest cavity, cutting the shared pericardium, and beginning to separate the connected atria, Director Han was stunned.

The handsome Su Yun beside him seemed to have figured something out; his technique was simple and clean, yet achieving the perfect coordination he wanted seemed to become a problem.

After 3 minutes and 22 seconds, the surgery ended.

The patch perfectly repaired the thin myocardial areas of both the larger and smaller twins, and the surgery ended.

Was this a success? Director Han, Vice President Chen, and the doctors of the Women and Children's Hospital showed a hint of relief on their faces.

However, what they saw were two pairs of deep, solemn eyes.

"Doing it this way is fine, but what about the heartbeat? This surgery can't go on." Su Yun asked in a low voice.

"Take it step by step; this is the first time I'm doing this kind of coordination with you. Dual-surgeon surgery is very difficult, so don't rush." Zheng Ren said.

"Again."

Vice President Chen stood at the back first; after two hours her legs went numb, she felt there was a problem with venous return.

She found a chair to sit, Vice President Chen tapped her leg, dubiously watching Zheng Ren and Su Yun squandering resources on the operating table.

One by one, the models were used up, and Vice President Chen felt a pang of heartache.

Although having a mold makes the 3D-printed models not too expensive, they still can't withstand being used like this.

Although it pained her, she still had to use them.

Vice President Chen waved, having the Science and Education Department find the supplier, making sure to stock sufficient raw materials.

She knew clearly that Zheng Lao Ban and Su Yun standing opposite him had fallen into a frenzied state; if the 3D-printed models suddenly ran out, the two could curse at their own noses all day.

If that were the case, would she even still be human?

After the 18th coordination, Zheng Ren was satisfied with the current operation and had people squeeze a rubber ball to simulate the conjoined twin's heartbeat.

After starting this part of the surgery, the originally perfect surgical process suddenly encountered problems.

Under the interference of the beating heart, the difficulty of patching the weak atrial portion reached a level that made everyone despair.

Though called despair, that was others' feeling; Zheng Ren and Su Yun were like machines, unmoved no matter how many failures they endured.

Two microscopes were worn on the heads of the two operators, and they performed the surgical training meticulously.

Vice President Chen glanced at the beating heart and involuntarily sighed. The difficulty was too great, to the point that she now wanted to give up.

Especially after separating the connected atria, although Zheng Lao Ban's technique was clean and neat, the weak atrial residual muscle and rapid heartbeat were all obstacles to the surgery.

With too many difficulties, even if young Zheng Lao Ban performed the surgery well, it was still unlikely to succeed smoothly. Vice President Chen's gloom deepened a bit, and she faintly sensed a bad omen.

Sitting in the chair, Vice President Chen clenched her fists and tapped her legs, which had grown numb from standing too long; at the same time she scrutinized the members of Zheng Lao Ban's medical team with a scrutinizing gaze.

The two operators were the focus of the field, without a doubt.

Meanwhile, the instrument nurse standing by the instrument table seemed like an invisible person, but once Vice President Chen directed her gaze toward her, she found it hard to look away.

She was very young, her eyes as clear and transparent as a small stream, reflecting a crystalline luster.

No matter how complex the surgery, she would prepare in advance whatever instruments the two operators needed; as soon as they reached out, the relevant instrument would land in their palms.

There was no communication between the operator and the instrument nurse, not even eye contact.

Yet with her, there had never been a mistake; the instruments she handed over could be used immediately by the operator.

Because there were no mistakes and no delay whatsoever, that instrument nurse was naturally ignored by everyone.

She was like transparent air; only after several hours of surgical training did Vice President Chen notice her unintentionally.

How impressive! Vice President Chen was astonished in her heart.

She had performed surgery herself and knew how a good instrument nurse helps surgery. When Vice President Chen was still a clinical doctor, she would occasionally fly to other cities to perform surgery.

The most infuriating thing was encountering a clumsy instrument nurse during surgery.

When she needed an instrument, she had no idea what it was; even if she reached out and said the instrument's name, the other side would still have to search for a long time.

This would cause a normally proficient surgery to become clumsy and hard to operate, turning a procedure that originally took two hours into one that would take three to five hours to complete.

However, the instrument nurse brought by Zheng Lao Ban seemed to have performed countless conjoined twin surgeries; no matter what instrument the operator needed, she could anticipate it in advance and, at the instant the operator reached out, slap the instrument into their palm.

Moreover, instrument nurses who can perfectly coordinate with the operator are not common, but neither are they rare.

The heart portion of this Shou Bing involved two surgeons; her performance remained relaxed, as if she showed no panic.

Simply……This is unscientific! Vice President Chen thought.
