2378.2292 Striving for First-Stage Healing (Alliance Leader Aaxxee Bonus Chapter 1)

"Look at our Xiao Cao, he's honest and simple-minded." Feng Jianguo laughed, "Not at all worldly."

"What are you planning to do about being worldly?" Su Yun asked with a sideways glance.

"Just now, Xiao Su, you said that if we swapped in a more worldly person, they'd kneel and call you Master—could Old Boss Zheng keep a straight face?" Feng Jianguo, knowing Quan Xiaocao's nature, chuckled teasingly.

Zheng Ren thought, if he did that, it wouldn't be the Quan Xiaocao he knew.

"Boss Zheng, you're here?" Feng Jianguo said politely.

"No thanks." Zheng Ren smiled, "I'll come up to check the situation, then go back and tell a friend."

Feng Jianguo chuckled, then washed his hands, put on his clothes, and went up onto the platform.

After opening the abdomen, Feng Jianguo felt having Boss Zheng nearby was really nice.

Inside the abdomen was a messy tangle of intestines, plus the omentum and bits of feces, all stuck together filthily.

Zheng Ren frowned, looking at the abdomen.

"Boss Zheng, don't be polite, come up and lend a hand." Feng Jianguo didn't stand on ceremony and immediately invited Zheng Ren.

It wasn't that he couldn't do it himself, but leaving Boss Zheng to watch on the sidelines would be wasteful. Feng Jianguo estimated that if Boss Zheng joined, the operation time could be cut at least in half.

We're all familiar with each other, so there's no need for politeness.

Zheng Ren's fingers twitched slightly; after peaking in General Surgery, he seemed never to have done a GI surgery. The time he separated a conjoined twin's liver counts, but after all, it wasn't the focus of the surgery.

He smiled, turned, and went to wash his hands.

Su Yun followed, whispering, "Boss, do you think the next stent will work?" (Note 1)

Zheng Ren's heart stirred, and he said in a low voice, "Go up and check the intraoperative situation."

After washing his hands and going up onto the platform, Zheng Ren didn't stand on ceremony, directly taking the surgeon's position and pushing Quan Xiaocao, who was the second assistant beside Feng Jianguo, off to the side.

He looked at the chaotic intestines before him, entered the System Space, directly purchased Surgical Training Time, and began surgical training.

Repeatedly rinsing, separating and loosening the adhesions of the intestines and omentum.

After starting surgical training, Zheng Ren felt a difference, just like the first Peak Experience—when he placed his hand on it, the feeling changed.

The force of separation and loosening was just right, and this showed it. The intrinsic core of the substance was the understanding of tactile feedback, allowing Zheng Ren to handle things with ease.

Watching the extremely difficult surgery, it was finished in over twenty minutes.

In a normal case, we'd leave a drain locally and prepare for a second-stage surgery; but according to my surgical skill, there's still a chance of one-stage healing.

The key to a one-stage surgery is thorough colonic decompression and irrigation during the operation, postoperative double-layer negative-pressure tube drainage, regular postoperative anal dilation, and a series of other measures and methods.

What Su Yun said is also a method; whether it works specifically depends on the surgical completion degree given by the Big Pig Trotter.

After cleaning the abdomen, Zheng Ren saw a rupture about 0.8 cm in size near the descending colon, 12 cm above the rectum. The area around the rupture was pallid; normally, such a wound would definitely require a second-stage surgery, and possibly a segmental bowel resection.

Let's give it a try.

Zheng Ren placed a membrane-covered stent on the experimental subject, then rinsed again, sprinkled antibiotics, and closed the abdomen.

Surgical completion degree 88%.

A bit low, Zheng Ren thought. Although he felt a little reluctant, he still opened another surgical training session and used the assistant function.

He guessed it was due to his own lapse in aseptic technique, causing the low completion degree.

Sure enough, after the experimental subject was brought into the operating room, the surgery went much more smoothly. After all, having an assistant and not having one are two different concepts.

Back when the "loneliness grading" joke was popular online, Zheng Ren always thought the highest level of loneliness meant literally doing surgery oneself, rather than having surgery done on him.

Doing surgery alone is truly too lonely; the completion degree isn't high enough, which sometimes makes him anxious even after training when he goes out to perform surgery.

Moreover, the assistant isn't just someone standing opposite Zheng Ren handing him tools in the usual sense; instead, they must deliver the membrane-covered stent through the anus and rectum to the site of colonic rupture.

The surgery before him was equivalent to a dual procedure; doing it alone was still troublesome and laborious, and the final completion degree wasn't high either.

Although this assistant function wastes a lot of time, it's very practical, and Zheng Ren likes it.

Surgical training ended, completion degree 99%.

This time Zheng Ren felt confident.

He walked out of the System Operating Room, a smile on his lips, this assistant……pap pap……

The hemostatic forceps in his hand trembled slightly, making a pap pap sound.

"Boss, why are you spacing out? Focus on the surgery." Su Yun's voice came over.

"Oh, I was thinking about what you just said." Zheng Ren smiled, taking the hemostatic forceps and blunt scissors, occasionally using his fingers to begin separating and loosening adhesions inside the abdomen, while saying to Feng Jianguo, "Brother Feng."

"Huh?" Feng Jianguo responded.

"In a bit, you'll explain things to the patient's family, then try the next intestinal membrane-covered stent to see if it can achieve one-stage healing. If it works, that'll save us worry."

Zheng Ren said this slowly while performing the surgery.

Feng Jianguo watched him operate with his ears, listening to Boss Zheng's words—his left ear heard, his right ear let them slip out.

Feng Jianguo knew full well Boss Zheng's skill level—at the very least, he himself thought so.

They've worked together many times; his level is high. Not to mention me, even Director Wei can't match him. Even if Director Wei and I were both younger, say 35, with our current experience and techniques, we still couldn't compare.

But this time, as he reached out, Feng Jianguo saw Boss Zheng's hand with the blunt scissors, hemostatic forceps, and fingers beginning to separate adhesions; his first thought was—slow down! Don't mess up and leak.

But he said nothing.

Boss Zheng standing nearby gave Feng Jianguo a subconscious sense of reliance, very steady. This subconscious made him want to look and then speak, and indeed it made him completely miss what Boss Zheng said.

The blunt scissors and hemostatic forceps were held in one hand, ready to use whichever. But more often, it was Boss Zheng's habit—using the blunt scissors and fingers for blunt dissection a bit more.

The adhesions of intestines, feces, and omentum formed a clump, but they soon loosened little by little, steadily, and the imagined surgical mishap never occurred.

"Holy shit!" Feng Jianguo rarely cursed in his mind, but Boss Zheng's surgery was truly badass!

It's only been a few days since we last met—how did his skill get this good?!

Watching and watching, Feng Jianguo's eyes grew moist.

Note 1: At the end of last year, (someone) intervened in the year-end meeting, a Teacher's lesson about "Crazy Intervention" was mentioned.

Specifically, I haven't seen it, nor have I searched for related lesson topics or reports; I couldn't contact that Teacher, so I wrote it following their line of thought.
