Chapter 2349: 2269 How Did They Do It (Bonus for Alliance Leader IvanLIN)

In the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Director Cheng Qian was also watching this surgery.

Is this a joke? Director Cheng Qian didn't understand why they wanted to find a pair of twin sisters to do the anesthesia.

Could it be that doing surgery on twins, letting twins be anesthetized, would increase the success rate? This is outright witchcraft, it's a joke!

Director Cheng Qian's heart turned ice-cold; he simply couldn't fathom why the hospital would agree to let Young Zheng Lao Ban cause such a ruckus. Yes, in his mind, this was just messing around.

The world's top children's hospital had already sentenced these two children to death; do they really have to hit a south wall before knowing to turn back?

Those twin sisters were so young; at a glance they looked like recent graduates or even students who hadn't graduated yet.

They didn't even know if their residency period was over or not, yet they had to undertake such an important surgery!

It's simply unreasonable.

Director Cheng Qian's mind was filled with countless questions, countless indignation, countless anger.

He silently watched the figures on the screen; the twin sisters clearly had a high level of rapport, one on the left, one on the right, just like a mirror image.

Between them, two ventilators stood, and a middle-aged anesthesiologist in his forties kept glancing back and forth at the ventilator and the monitor values.

This person was unknown to him; Director Cheng Qian could imagine that Young Zheng Lao Ban had brought his entire medical team to perform this impossible surgery.

They not only snatched the right to perform the surgery, but also wanted to take over the anesthesia.

The anger in Director Cheng Qian's heart flared even more; this was practically a contempt for the Women and Children's Hospital.

The rumors said Young Zheng Lao Ban was arrogant; now it truly seemed so.

"Doctor Cheng, what is this?" Doctor Daina Sterling approached Director Cheng Qian at some point; seeing the image on the screen, she also looked somewhat surprised.

"Teacher Daina, I told you before, this surgery will be performed by Doctor Zheng, this year's Nobel Prize Nominee, as the lead surgeon…… This should be the anesthesiologist in his medical team……" Director Cheng Qian's voice was a little hoarse.

"It really is Doctor Zheng, a tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital; I recently heard that Mayo Clinic also wants to hire him as a tenured professor." Doctor Daina Sterling said.

Mayo Clinic, wait, Mayo Clinic?! Director Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment. When did Mayo Clinic plan to hire Zheng Lao Ban as a tenured professor?

"The liver transplant surgery a few days ago, did you watch it? There's also a live broadcast of a new surgical technique treating late-stage dilated cardiomyopathy." Doctor Daina Sterling asked.

"No." Director Cheng Qian replied.

"You should watch it; although it's not a pediatric surgery, the techniques still share common ground. The surgery was performed very beautifully; it was Doctor Charles's proposal, and I estimate the invitation will be sent out soon." Doctor Daina Sterling said calmly.

"Teacher Daina, do you think the surgery will succeed?"

"No." Doctor Daina Sterling shook her head, speaking very firmly.

She looked at the screen; the conjoined twins had already been lifted onto the operating table, and anesthesia began.

"Although I admit Doctor Zheng's surgical skills are very high, this surgery is not a test for him." Doctor Daina Sterling said, "A perfect intubation; Doctor Zheng seems to have assessed the difficulty of this surgery."

"Too bad, it's useless. Finding twin anesthesiologists won't make the surgery possible."

After hearing Teacher Daina's final evaluation, Director Cheng Qian fell silent.

He hoped the surgery would succeed, but science is science and will not shift according to human will.

12′22″ later, the surgery began.

The light from the shadowless lamp was very bright; the Women and Children's Hospital merely made a full-process recording of the surgery, not as professional as the Apricot Grove Garden Surgery Live Broadcast Room.

Even so, the general situation could still be seen clearly. Three views, a bird's-eye of the whole field, also taking care of the minutest details.

The surgery started with opening the abdomen, orderly and unhurried. Teacher Daina Sterling's face showed a faint ambiguous smile, as if mocking this Nobel Prize Nominee. No matter how successful the liver incision, it would not affect the surgery's outcome in the slightest.

But after the surgery had proceeded for 15′06 seconds, Teacher Daina Sterling's smile froze.

If this surgery were done at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, at least two surgical teams would be needed. Whether they did the liver first or the heart first, different people would perform different surgeries.

Yet Doctor Zheng actually completed the surgery with just one team! Are they saying they have to cross into pediatric surgery while also occupying cardiothoracic and general surgery specialties at the same time!

Moreover, the most surprising thing was that after just over ten minutes, the liver had already been completely separated. According to Teacher Daina Sterling's expectation, this stage should take at least around fifty minutes.

Doctor Zheng's surgery was even stronger than he imagined, even displaying an unmatched posture on the operating table, solving all problems.

Teacher Daina Sterling's back left the chair, she sat upright, her gaze unwavering as she stared at the screen.

Time to open the chest.

Open the thoracic cavity, examine the connected heart parts.

The holographic simulation technology had previously perfectly displayed all of this before Doctor Daina Sterling and Doctor Cheng Qian.

At this moment seeing the actual situation, Doctor Cheng Qian's palms were full of sweat.

No one spoke; it was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound coming from the screen and one's own heartbeat.

Director Cheng Qian felt his heart beating violently, his body involuntarily trembling along with it, thump thump thump without end.

As the thoracic surgery began, Director Cheng Qian grew more and more tense. He wanted to look around to ease his emotions. He was about to reach the point in Philadelphia that could not be surpassed; whether the surgery succeeded would soon have an answer.

At this moment he noticed Director Han of Cardiothoracic Surgery standing in the assistant's position, while Zheng Lao Ban's assistant acted as the second surgeon.

Director Cheng Qian had already run out of words to complain; his body was secreting large amounts of adrenaline and dopamine, his legs faintly trembling.

After examination, they discovered that the shared heart pericardium of the conjoined twins was also together; Zheng Lao Ban opened the pericardium, and the donor heart appeared in the surgical field.

The two small hearts were beating happily, or rather anxiously. Their frequencies were completely different; this could be judged from the numbers of the ventilator and monitor shown in the upper right corner of the screen.

The larger twin's heart rate was 162 beats per minute, the smaller twin's heart rate was 123 beats per minute, and the arterial pressure monitoring system faithfully presented the objective numbers.

What to do next? Director Cheng Qian held his breath, watching carefully.

Zheng Lao Ban made no special moves; he simply proceeded step by step with the preparatory work for separating the atria.

At the same time, the twin anesthesiologists standing constantly by the patient's head side were also performing operations.

Director Cheng Qian knew they were adjusting the dosage of medication entering the venous channel via the micro-pump.

Their movements were synchronized, giving a wonderful feeling. If this were another surgery, Director Cheng Qian would still have the mind to appreciate this beauty. But this is a surgery almost certainly destined to die!

"Good heavens! How did they do it!" Doctor Daina Sterling suddenly murmured.
