Chapter 2345: with translation of chapter title

2265 This works? This works!

Zheng Ren carefully examined the small patient, printed out the medical record, and took it back to check various detailed issues. This kind of surgery, no matter how careful, is not excessive.

But Su Yun insisted on staying at the Women and Children's Hospital; he wanted to continue surgical training.

He was stimulated by the technique Zheng Ren showed when he cut the liver yesterday; he talks much less now, focusing on improving surgical technique.

Lao He, Chu Yanran, and Chu Yan zhi followed Vice President Chen to the Operating Room. Although tired, Lao He stubbornly completed the task assigned by Zheng Lao Ban.

Everything was proceeding in a tense and orderly manner.

Di Du began a new day, while the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, on the other side of the Earth, was quiet, sleeping in the night.

Dr. Dana Stirling did not leave; she and her medical team were still making the final attempt regarding the cardiac conjoined twins.

They faced a more advanced model: holographic simulation, with a large computer simulating the conjoined twins' cardiopulmonary and various organ functions, combined with the entire database of the Children's Hospital, already reaching a point of indistinguishability from reality.

This set of equipment is not available at the Di Du Women and Children's Hospital; it belongs to the realm of technology blockade.

The holographic simulation technology almost perfectly simulated the intraoperative situation of the shared-heart conjoined twins; precisely because of this, Dr. Dana Stirling gained a clearer understanding of the surgery's difficulty.

The final surgical attempt still ended in failure. She sighed, removed the sterile gloves, and stepped down.

Shared-heart conjoined twins have remained undone for so many years because the intraoperative difficulty exceeds imagination; it is not about surgical proficiency, so preoperative simulations supported by the latest technologies such as holographic simulation, 3D printing, and surgical navigation systems are completely useless.

"Teacher, is there really no way?" a Chinese doctor asked unwillingly.

He is Cheng Qian, the director of Pediatric Surgery Department Three at the Di Du Women and Children's Hospital, here for exchange and study; it was through his connection that this cooperation came about.

But the surgical difficulty is too great, fundamentally impossible to accomplish, and he is also furious inside.

"It can't be done." Dr. Dana Stirling said calmly, "No one can complete the surgery when the two hearts have inconsistent rhythms. I think we should perhaps consider it from the perspective of extracorporeal circulation; doing so would make this damned surgery a bit simpler."

Cheng Qian sighed; this is a technological barrier, at least a current technological barrier, and no one can overcome it.

Dr. Dana Stirling had been seriously conducting preoperative simulations, but the result of the simulation was only one—failure.

Cheng Qian watched as everyone dispersed, then he returned to his own residence.

He made a phone call domestically to ask about the situation. At that moment, Cheng Qian learned that domestically they had received the news, and after Dr. Dana Stirling gave up her last hope, the Women and Children's Hospital continued to actively prepare for the surgery.

Crazy! The domestic side must be stuck between a rock and a hard place, ultimately deciding to risk the surgery; this is Cheng Qian's judgment.

The domestic simulation system simply cannot simulate the various unexpected situations during surgery; put simply, the domestic system is static, while the Philadelphia Children's Hospital side's system is dynamic, and the two are fundamentally incomparable.

He directly called Director Han; Director Han on the other end spoke with him in a weary voice for a while, explaining the situation on that side.

They actually invited the little Zheng Lao Ban from 912 to perform the surgery! He dares to take on this kind of surgery!

Cheng Qian had some understanding of that little Zheng Lao Ban from 912. After all, not long ago, the little Zheng Lao Ban had just gone to the Women and Children's Hospital to perform Asia's first intracardiac intervention surgery.

Moreover, he is one of this year's Nobel Prize nominees, selected for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine based on his clinical technique; Cheng Qian would certainly not be unaware of such a person.

But a doctor from the Intervention Department could never possibly complete this degree of difficulty surgery.

If there were no simulation, Cheng Qian might still not know where the difficulty lies. But ever since the last set of images and data were sent over, after Philadelphia performed a holographic simulation technology reconstruction, the surgery's difficulty was fully revealed.

It's too difficult, fundamentally impossible to complete!

Cheng Qian explained the situation; because it involves certain confidentiality agreements, he also does not know the true core technology, but he always knows the surgical process.

For conjoined twins with asynchronous heart rates, the surgical difficulty is countless times greater than imagined.

But Director Han said, the difficulty has all been taken into account; Zheng Lao Ban has made preparations and is currently doing related practice.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qian felt somewhat angry, but soon after calming down, what filled his heart more was incomprehension.

A worldwide problem—how does the little Zheng Lao Ban from 912 have the confidence to pull it off?

A single phrase 'youthful vigor' cannot explain it.

He is young and willing to cause trouble, but certainly nobody in the Women and Children's Hospital, from top to bottom, would accompany him in causing trouble.

In his doubt, Cheng Qian passed 24 hours absentmindedly.

Cheng Qian consistently maintained contact with the domestic side, anxiously waiting. He both hoped for the surgery and feared it.

He hoped the surgery would succeed, but reason told him the likelihood of success was not great, even negligible.

After 24 hours, Cheng Qian received the news: because the conjoined twins' condition was unstable, the surgery would take place in four hours.

Unlike usual, the surgery will not be livestreamed from Xinglin Yuan; Cheng Qian expressed understanding of this.

A surgery where not doing it means the patient dies, and doing it still results in a 99.99% death rate—who would agree to livestream it? The little Zheng Lao Ban from 912 is not merely reckless; when caution is needed, he is still quite cautious.

However, the Women and Children's Hospital side has a surgery recording; he immediately contacted Dr. Dana Stirling to explain the situation on that side.

Calling a superior physician after work hours is a major taboo in the United States.

But because of this surgery's particularity, Dr. Dana Stirling, after expressing surprise, said she would come to the hospital right away to watch the livestream for a few hours.

During those few hours, Cheng Qian's heart was anxious and uneasy, his nerves were on edge; it was as if he himself were about to undergo surgery, and he could only desperately look for things to do.

The LED screen connected to the signal transmitted from the Women and Children's Hospital side; after repeated debugging, Cheng Qian saw a familiar operating room.

The patient had not yet been brought up; he saw the anesthesiologist adjusting the machine.

Watching the head of the Anesthesiology Department sit beside him, two identical female anesthesiologists were adjusting two ventilators, and Cheng Qian froze instantly.

Was his vision playing tricks? How could he see two identical anesthesiologists?

Although wearing isolation gowns, hats, and masks, this pair of female anesthesiologists was like a person and their shadow—movements completely identical, causing people to spontaneously feel a dazed illusion.

This mirror-like illusion fractured Cheng Qian's train of thought.

Cheng Qian stared for a while, then made a phone call to inquire.

Upon learning that these were the twin anesthesiologists brought in by Zheng Lao Ban of 912, Cheng Qian was stunned speechless.
