Guo Cheng looked at the nurse, “Has the director arrived?”
The nurse nodded, “Yes, not only the director but also two other people, said to be family members.”
Guo Cheng frowned, while Chen Cang remained silent, continuing with the surgery.
The patient’s condition was not optimistic, and although it seemed not too problematic on the surface, if they delayed, it would definitely lead to serious issues!
By then, surgery would be too late!
Guo Cheng said to Chen Cang, “Doctor Chen, focus on the surgery, I’ll see what’s going on.”
Having said this, Guo Cheng stepped outside the operating room and came face-to-face with three people “fully geared up” walking in.
Sun Zhengwei looked at Guo Cheng, “Is the surgery going smoothly?”
Guo Cheng shook his head, “The situation is very bad. We were planning to perform a laparoscopic surgery, but the laparoscope showed that the patient’s condition was poor. The gastrointestinal condition was terrible, and a fistula had formed in the duodenum due to an ulcer. The colon, duodenum, and stomach were all adhered inside the abdominal cavity, which was very obvious. The triangle of Calot was nowhere to be seen, let alone to perform surgery!” As soon as Guo Cheng finished speaking, Jin Qingzhi couldn’t help but tense up. However, he knew that he couldn’t throw a fit in the operating room, nor cause any disruption.
Anxiously looking at his old classmate, “Li He…”
Li He waved his hand, “It’s all right, rest assured I am here. You wait outside, you’re likely to cause trouble in here. Director Sun, you and Qingzhi should take a break.”
Sun Zhengwei nodded, “Guo Cheng, who is that doctor? He looks so young.” Guo Cheng’s eyes slightly lit up, “His name is Chen Cang, an expert I invited from the Provincial Second Hospital.”
Sun Zhengwei mumbled, so young?
He’s the expert from the Provincial Second Hospital that Guo Cheng invited?
This Guo Cheng!
What expert is this young!
Chen Cang… Chen Cang?
Sun Zhengwei muttered a few times but had not heard of him.
How good could he be? Could any expert from the Provincial Second Hospital compare to the experts from the 301 Hospital in the capital?
Sun Zhengwei nodded, “Let that Doctor Chen step aside. This is Director Li He, an expert from the Capital’s 301 Hospital.”
Guo Cheng was momentarily embarrassed.
Chen Cang was his invited expert. Now, making Chen Cang step aside for someone from the capital felt like a slap in the face.
It was a big taboo to fight over a scalpel on the operating table.
Guo Cheng looked somewhat displeased, “Director Sun… Doctor Chen Cang is an expert that I managed to invite with great effort. This is… this is not good at all!”
Jin Qingzhi spoke in a hurry, “Director Guo, please rest assured, I will deal with this matter after it is over. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility. My father’s health is the priority! Let’s proceed with the surgery, and we’ll talk afterwards!”
Compared to everyone else, Li He made a decision, “In a while, I’ll operate together with Doctor Chen. You all go out first. We can’t delay the surgery.” Without further ado, he headed towards the operating table.
Guo Cheng, swallowing his pride, followed Li He.
Compared to Li He, Guo Cheng actually wanted to curry favor with Chen Cang. After all, no matter how formidable Li He was, he was far away in the capital, an eight-pole distance away. While Chen Cang was still so young yet had such remarkable surgical abilities, coupled with being amiable and located in the Provincial Second Hospital, future cooperation would only be more frequent. Thinking of this, Guo Cheng couldn’t help but sigh…
Chen Cang had no way to be distracted by other matters at this point because the surgery had reached a critical moment.
The peritoneum had adhered the stomach, duodenum, and colon together, and with a fistula on the duodenum and damage to the colon, separation was extremely difficult!
Li He immediately recognized the problem as he saw Chen Cang pick up the ultrasonic scalpel with the operational end facing up, while his right hand held the blunt dissection forceps, carefully peeling away layer by layer.
Li He couldn’t help but be startled; this young man was skilled!
This peritoneal adhesion was severe, and the condition of the duodenum and colon was very poor. It wasn’t possible to bluntly separate because if too much force was applied, whether blunt or not, it was bound to damage the injured colon!
Now, it was necessary to skillfully use the back of the ultrasonic scalpel to peel away the adhesion bit by bit.
This process!
Seemed simple!
But in reality, was extremely dangerous.
Li He dared not disturb Chen Cang.
Because one tremble of the hand, and there would be trouble.
This required the surgeon to have absolute strength and stability as well as endurance in both hands.
Because both hands must remain in this state for over thirty minutes, while still working.
Could Li He do it?
Li He didn’t dare to guarantee it!
Because such surgery was typically doomed from the start to require the collaboration of two to three people.
Li He was waiting for Chen Cang to become tired, for his hands to tremble, at which point he would take over.
But-
Chen Gang’s hands were extremely steady!
The ultrasonic scalpel moved little by little, and the forceps carefully peeled away layer by layer.
Time ticked away, second by second.
It seemed Chen Gang’s hands were as stable as they had been at the start, remarkably solid, firm!
Guo Cheng was dumbfounded!
It must be known that surgical operations require not only technical skill but also physical strength. Being hunched over with one’s head down, hands wielding instruments, was far more tiring than moving bricks.
Yet Chen Cang remained silent!
It seemed even the pace of the separation hadn’t slowed in the slightest.
He maintained an excellent state!
Li He hesitated to speak numerous times, utterly unsure how this young man had trained his hands to such a level!
Finally, the separation was complete!
Li He breathed a sigh of relief!
Guo Cheng glanced at the two of them and let out a double sigh of relief…
Before Chen Cang even had a chance to exhale, he immediately began the next stage of the work.
Duodenal fistula suturing, plus colonic intestinal repair surgery.
Li He couldn’t hold back any longer, “Doctor Chen, let me do it. You must be tired from before!”
Chen Cang blinked to indicate he was fine!
As they talked, Chen Cang put down the ultrasonic scalpel and picked up the needle holder, beginning to suture with extreme care.
Chen Gang’s intestinal anastomosis was very close to masterful, performed with great delicacy.
More importantly, his intestinal anastomosis was secure!
The elderly patient had damage to the duodenum and colon, which without reinforcement, could easily lead to delayed postoperative rupture.
At this moment, Chen Gang’s suturing was the best choice as security was the most important attribute!
Security is an attribute, and also a technical skill, the core of which is to make the intestinal suturing delicate.
Generally speaking, vascular suturing is particularly delicate!
A 6mm vessel can be sutured with over thirty stitches.
This demands that the spacing of the sutures be kept very stable, and at the same time, it requires extremely delicate manipulation to ensure the smoothness of the suturing.
At this moment, in the repair and suturing of the intestines, security was also very important and difficult.
To be honest, even Li He himself couldn’t guarantee the quality of his own suturing.
But-
Chen Cang had undergone 100 hours of intensive training, and it had been under laparoscopy. Now that he didn’t need to look at the monitor, the direct operation greatly reduced the difficulty, simplifying things considerably.
In Li He’s eyes, it was a different story!
Chen Gang’s suturing was fast, and each stitch was rhythmic, with the spacing between them tight and uniform. The entire process was extremely smooth!
Awesome!
Just what was the background of this young man?
To be so skilled at such a young age.
This kind of intestinal suturing technique is important in gastroenterology, and gallbladder surgery pertains to hepatobiliary surgery. He knows both? ’ God knows why Guo Cheng’s mind was filled with an old poem:
The compassionate doctor threads the needle,
The patient’s intestines bear the stitches,
Before departing, he sews tightly and securely,
Fearing future rupture once more…
In five minutes, Chen Cang used three threads, finally completing the repair of the duodenum and colon.
At this time, Li He no longer dared to underestimate Chen Cang.
He realized that this young man’s level was not beneath his own, and even that intestinal suturing technique had definitely surpassed his!
Just what kind of young man was this?
