Chapter 2599: with translation of chapter title

In the surgery live broadcast, the surgeon has already begun protecting the nerve root tissue.

Then the main view switched to the Interventional surgery perspective, Zheng Lao Ban personally operated, starting to embolize the blood vessels supplying the fourth cervical vertebra to be removed.

Peng Jia didn't know how useful switching back and forth was; he has now focused his main attention on Old Shen.

Old Shen's body was slightly stiff, his hands trembled slightly, but he soon calmed down.

Until he saw in the interventional operation image that the vertebral body's blood vessels were embolized with a small Spring ring, Old Shen felt as if his vital spirit had been drained, and his back slumped directly onto the chair.

And Director Yang seemed not to have noticed Old Shen's change; his attention remained entirely on the Surgery live broadcast.

After a long while, the live broadcast picture returned to the operating field of the surgery, and Director Yang sighed, saying, "Teacher, besides Zheng Lao Ban, no one can do this step."

"Yes." Old Shen closed his eyes completely, as if meditating, as if thinking about something.

"Microscopic operation is enough, but he still wants to embolize the blood vessels supplying to further reduce bleeding." Director Yang said: "Intraoperative bleeding is estimated not to exceed 500 ml."

"Even 200 ml is impossible." Old Shen shook his head, saying: "The patient's condition is poor; if bleeding exceeds 1000 ml postoperatively, he might not even make it out of the ICU. Back then I found it Strange, wondering what Zheng Lao Ban was thinking. Now I see, he has it figured out, confident that his technique will keep intraoperative bleeding low, so we can give it a try."

"Teacher, even if we invite Professor Pei to perform the Shou Bing, he probably couldn't do this step." Director Yang said bitterly.

"We must always try; if we can't achieve 200 ml bleeding, we'll first try 1000 ml." Old Shen said: "With Technique Progress, with more advanced consumables entering clinical practice, I believe within ten years someone will definitely be able to reach Zheng Lao Ban's level."

Peng Jia felt somewhat doubtful; has Zheng Lao Ban's Shou Bing become so good that only more advanced instruments and consumables can match it? Academician Shen's evaluation is simply heightened to a certain degree.

It's not that his Technique level surpasses others by ten years, but that others need to rely on technological power, using more precise materials, to match Zheng Lao Ban.

But…… Zheng Lao Ban's Shou Bing itself being good isn't the key; regardless of instruments or consumables, they are world‑top‑level. Peng Jia knows that the micro Spring ring used just now for embolization was developed in Germany, and because of its high cost it has not been put into clinical use.

Zheng Lao Ban himself is enough to inspire awe, yet he is also armed to the teeth. Even with Technique Progress, Zheng Lao Ban would still be among the first beneficiaries.

Still can't catch up; thinking of this, Peng Jia felt a hint of happiness welling up.

15′22″, the affected fourth cervical vertebra was completely removed, and then the surgeon began to replace it with a 3D‑printed vertebral body.

After replacement, fixed with a nail‑rod system, he began cleaning the operative area.

Old Shen glanced at the timer in the upper right corner of the live broadcast picture; the whole process of removing the cervical vertebra took 1 hour 22 minutes.

"Zheng Lao Ban is truly formidable; under his great name there are no idle warriors. By the way, when will the annual meeting be held this year?" Old Shen asked.

"Mid‑January." Director Yang replied.

"After returning, I'll send an invitation in my name to Zheng Lao Ban, inviting him to Modu for a demonstration Shou Bing."

Demonstration…… Shou Bing……

These four words were like four thunderbolts, striking Peng Jia and turning him into charcoal.

During ordinary academic exchanges, they certainly wouldn't use demonstration Shou Bing to define it; only when inviting world‑top doctors to give lectures would they occasionally use the term demonstration.

Even Old Shen, Academician Shen…… Peng Jia had been observing Old Shen's expression; he felt doubtful and puzzled.

Previously heard or seen, the competition for academic standing was extremely cruel.

Among these, publishing articles to publicly condemn, not only in academic circles but also putting them in the media to arouse nationwide attention. Such things are not common, yet not rare; each time they end in bloodshed.

Originally Peng Jia thought that after Zheng Lao Ban won the Nobel Prize, it would attract many envious and resentful glances, followed by successive struggles of dragons and tigers to establish his academic standing.

But……

After crossing over, Zheng Lao Ban remained radiant and boundless; even the Orthopedics Department academician acknowledged Zheng Lao Ban's Shou Bing level.

Furthermore, they even wanted to invite him to give a demonstration Shou Bing.

Could it be that everything Ning Shu said is true? Peng Jia felt embarrassed; is his own vision too low?

"Teacher, is demonstration Shou Bing good?"

"Zheng Lao Ban's Shou Bing is well done; what's wrong with demonstration Shou Bing?" Old Shen frowned, saying, "We need to learn, we need to Progress. Over the years, how many people have you seen living off their past achievements until death?"

"Laparoscopy has already eliminated a batch of old doctors; the wave that Zheng Lao Ban has stirred up will definitely eliminate more doctors." Old Shen said.

"Interventional, after so many years it still hasn't been launched." Director Yang obviously had complaints or worries about Interventional surgery.

"The problem of suturing lines will eventually be solved; the Da Vinci robot has already begun to be used." Old Shen said, "Within 5‑10 years, the surgeon will move out of the Operating Room, behind a lead shield, to go where to suture lines. Without worries about the rear, more outstanding surgeons will surely emerge."

"Yes, yes."

"Keep up with it; I probably won't see that day, but I hope you won't be eliminated."

Having said that, Old Shen slowly stood up.

"Old Shen, you're not going to watch till the end?" Peng Jia didn't expect that Shen Lao would leave before the Shou Bing finished; he hurriedly said, "It's already noon; let's have a simple meal before heading back."

"No." Old Shen gave a slight smile and greeted Peng Jia amiably: "I'll still need to watch Zheng Lao Ban's Shou Bing several times in the recording when I go back, little Peng."

"Ah? Old Shen, what instructions do you have?" Peng Jia bent over, asking nervously.

"You and Zheng Lao Ban should suggest something: don't always do live broadcasts of Interventional surgery; also do some Orthopedics Shou Bing." Old Shen smiled, saying, "I've waited for this live broadcast Shou Bing for a full eight months."

Seeing Old Shen's satisfied expression, Peng Jia bent his waist deeper, repeatedly saying, "I will convey your meaning as soon as possible."

"It's a request, not an order, little Peng, you need to be clear." Old Shen emphasized, "The annual meeting…… or I'll just call Zheng Lao Ban; otherwise…… a trip to Di Du would also work. Some matters are better discussed face to face."

Having said that, Old Shen leisurely departed; Peng Jia escorted him to the car all the way, looking at him blankly as he left.

When he returned to the meeting room, the Shou Bing was actually still not finished.

"What's wrong?" Peng Jia asked in surprise. His heart, which had just been let down, rose again; oh no, nothing must happen, Peng Jia felt he was becoming possessed.

"No, Manager Peng." The subordinate said, "The Shou Bing is going smoothly; Zheng Lao Ban is suturing the skin."

Suturing the skin…… Zheng Lao Ban, who just won the Nobel Prize, is suturing the skin; indeed he is cautious, unwilling to even let go of suturing the skin.
