Title: 2764.2656 Admitting timidity ensures safety (Alliance Leader Tang Clarity extra update 4)

Zheng Ren kept the guidewire in place and withdrew the endoscope, then re-entered along the guidewire and inserted a second guidewire into the cyst cavity.

Then prepared to use a 10 mm cylindrical balloon to dilate the puncture tract.

Zheng Ren performed this step very carefully, without becoming complacent despite his many successes in the system operating room.

He inflated the balloon slightly, but did not directly expand the puncture tract; instead, he probed several locations.

The elasticity and toughness of the tissue varied from place to place, and Zheng Ren was looking for the spot with the greatest elasticity and toughness.

Although the elasticity and toughness were similar, it could be said that besides him, basically no one could discern such subtle pressure during surgery; nevertheless, the difference does exist.

This is a perfect detail of the surgery, and Zheng Ren strove to make it as flawless as possible.

Soon the balloon dilated a channel wide enough for the deformed stent to retreat. Zheng Ren pulled the deformed stent to the balloon's tip, then removed the balloon and stent together. The maneuver was quite gentle; when the stent withdrew, the second guidewire remained in its original position.

All of this was done under DSA, and Professor Yang watched the entire process clearly from the operating room.

Seeing the smooth surgical process, Professor Yang felt moved; no wonder Zheng Lao Ban was so confident back then, and no wonder Doctor Su wasn't worried at all.

No wonder...

One would unconsciously use Peerless.

The deformed stent and tangled guidewire have been removed, and the mishap that occurred during the earlier surgery has been corrected.

Professor Yang felt somewhat relieved, but more so a sense of confusion and bewilderment.

He still remembers seeing, under the DSA machine, the guidewire tangled around the stent, with the stent's deformed tip lodged between the gastric wall and the wall of the pancreatic pseudocyst, and what he was thinking at that time.

At that time, he had no idea how to remove the stent completely.

Minimally invasive surgery requires each step to be extremely precise; while causing minimal injury to the patient, the margin for error is very small.

If Zheng Lao Ban weren't available or wasn't at home, one could only attempt it twice; thereafter, one would likely remove this segment of deformed stent via laparoscopy.

Yet Zheng Lao Ban simply completed the operation; Professor Yang knows that in interventional and minimally invasive surgery, Zheng Lao Ban's skill is so high that he cannot even guess.

Then it was wrong!

Professor Yang watched as Zheng Lao Ban inserted another 24 mm dual-lumen parallel metal stent from the orchid family, while his mind drifted to an unrelated thought.

Going for short-term training in the West and staying in ward 912, when there are patients one would seek Zheng Lao Ban for a couple of pointers; the effect would be better than traveling far away to the West for training.

Really damn stupid! Professor Yang forcefully patted his head.

"Brother Yang, what do you mean?" Su Yun asked: "Do you think the operation is simple and you could do it too?"

"Um..." Professor Yang concluded.

"The boss's operation looks simple, but I'm not confident in the part where the balloon dilates the puncture wall to directly find the most elastic spot." Su Yun said.

Professor Yang was a bit off‑mood and didn't catch the harshness in Su Yun's words "I have no confidence"; he shook his head and said, "I recently went to Tokyo National Hospital for short‑term training."

"Pretty good, the minimally invasive surgery level there is indeed not bad." Su Yun said.

"I just thought, with Zheng Lao Ban here, why go so far!" Professor Yang saw the stent open and drainage smooth, Zheng Lao Ban already withdrawing the guidewire, and the surgery was formally declared over.

The total time used… seems to be less than three minutes.

With this level, it's truly insane, infuriating! Professor Yang doesn't know how to describe it; only these two not quite appropriate words come to mind.

"Brother Yang." Zheng Lao Ban removed his sterile gloves, left the operating room, eyes narrowed, and said: "We still need to praise your caution; it's simply awesome."

Professor Yang remained silent; he had been timid back then, does this also need constant praise?

"The gastric wall wasn't torn, nor was the cyst wall." Zheng Ren said: "If a problem arises, don't panic; stay calm and objective. Good, good!"

While saying that, he forcefully patted Professor Yang's shoulder to encourage him.

Professor Yang felt he really was just like an intern, having just performed an extremely simple operation, then received the director's praise.

And after receiving praise from the young Zheng Lao Ban, his heart felt a strange joy.

Sigh, how many years has it been since this joy of being recognized last appeared? There are still days.

Moreover, the overall surgery still encountered an uncontrollable mishap; it was only because he directly resorted to timidity and used Open Peerless that he gained Zheng Lao Ban's approval.

Truly, admitting timidity ensures safety—this saying makes a lot of sense.

"Boss, the surgery was not bad." Su Yun rarely gave a compliment.

"Hmm, indeed very perfect." Zheng Ren felt Su Yun was right.

He turned to take off his lead apron; Lao He had already given the patient medication, and the patient was waking from anesthesia.

"He's awake." Su Yun said: "Brother Yang, you send the patient back."

"Oh, then go to the ICU." Professor Yang said instinctively.

"Um... Brother Yang, the boss just said he could be discharged home tomorrow. The timing of the second-stage stent removal surgery is up to you; what does sending him to the ICU now mean?"

Professor Yang scratched his head and whispered: "Isn't it because I lack confidence? If something happens, putting him in the ICU for a night puts my mind at ease."

Su Yun laughed and cried, saying: "No need, the ICU is already busy; don't add trouble for them."

"Alright." Professor Yang thought: if not sending him to the ICU, at worst I'd watch him for a night. As for the idea that he'd be discharged home tomorrow, that simply doesn't exist! One must observe for three to five days, the steadier the better.

He saw Zheng Ren take off his lead apron and come out, then smiled and went to meet him, saying: "Zheng Lao Ban, thanks."

"Brother Yang, you're being too polite." Zheng Ren said: "This is what should be done."

"Which day do you have time to get together?" Professor Yang immediately inquired; the sound of Good Luck Come nearby then seemed very pleasant.

"Fine, then first watch the patient discharge smoothly." Zheng Ren said.

"Alright, then I'll take the patient down." Professor Yang happily had the patient moved onto a stretcher, and with the rounding nurse pulling the stretcher they walked out.

"Boss, you scared Brother Yang half to death." Su Yun said: "Tonight in his dreams he'll probably have nightmares."

"Not that bad." Zheng Ren said: "Let's go take a look at Xiao Cao; just now when we came up we saw her bringing the patient onto the stage."

"Huh? Even you, face‑blind, can see Xiao Cao?" Su Yun exclaimed.

Uh...

Zheng Ren sighed in his heart, he was just face-blind, that's all, not stupid. He was already very familiar with Xiao Cao, how could he still be a bunch of mosaics.
