When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Jim Lawrence could tell that Chen Cang's philosophy and his surgical technique both surpassed most of those present!

He just didn't believe that everyone could be convinced by Chen Cang.

Jim Lawrence said, "Do you all really believe that a 28-year-old young man can develop such a comprehensive philosophy? That he can perform a major abdominal surgery? That he could operate a robot like this?"

"Sorry, I find it hard to believe!"

His words silenced the people present.

They didn't say it out loud, but everyone had a feeling of disbelief in their hearts.

Just when it was quiet below, Ford, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up and said, "Less than a month ago, I visited the capital of China. At that time, I witnessed Dr. Chen Cang using his current philosophy to complete a pancreatoduodenectomy, so I believe that he is fully capable."

Ford was well-known among the executive directors because his qualifications could match those of the organizing committee members.

So, after hearing what Ford had said, people began to look at Chen Cang from the corner of their eyes.

Chen Cang glanced at Jim Lawrence and couldn't help but laugh. It seemed Jim was ready to play dirty.

For a time, the crowd below began to discuss amongst themselves.

And the media even more so exaggerated Jim Lawrence's words to misinterpret them.

Especially the media from "World Journal of General Surgery," after seeing Chen Cang's impressive skills, were also a bit confused. Was this man really that amazing?

To be honest!

They had not believed at the start that Chen Cang could be the president.

But now, the situation was special, and Chen Cang's explanation had really convinced many people present.

Suddenly, they started to amplify Jim Lawrence's words, openly questioning the reliability of Chen Cang's philosophy.

Just when the scene was in chaos, Hubert, as the moderator, took the stage and said:

"Everyone, please calm down. For us doctors, it's very simple to fabricate results, yet also very difficult, but most of all unnecessary."

"I have two special patients in my hands who need surgery, a procedure that is a major test of a surgeon's skill."

Upon hearing Hubert speak, some people's complexions changed noticeably, and Ford couldn't help but clench his fists.

Because they knew who Hubert was referring to!

They were Hubert's two granddaughters!

Sure enough, at that moment, Hubert stood up and said, "I don't have a case presentation here, but I have photos that I can show everyone."

By then, even Chen Cang had become curious.

Jim Lawrence was even more expectant.

Hubert transferred the photos to the computer, and soon, a photo appeared on the big screen.

After seeing the photo, everyone present was noticeably stunned.

"Conjoined twins!"

After seeing the patient's condition, almost the entire audience began to discuss heatedly.

Separation surgery for conjoined twins is currently one of the most challenging surgeries, with virtually no chance of complications, only success, or death.

To date, there have been less than 30 successful separation cases in the world, and even these separations were not the most dangerous parts.

But the photo showed two little girls, only 4 years old, tightly connected to each other.

The image kept changing.

Soon, everyone got a clear look at the patient's condition.

The two little girls were connected from below the sternum in the chest cavity down to the navel in the abdomen, where they finally separated.

Connected at the abdomen!

This is probably the most common type of conjoining in conjoined twins, accounting for about 20 percent of conjoined cases.

Conjoined twins are a kind of malformation, with a 50 percent chance of in utero death and a 75 percent chance of very short lifespans after birth.

And they are mostly girls!

Among conjoined twins, girls make up over 75 percent.

So in dealing with this situation, most cases opt for separation surgery when the children are still young, when their organs are still developing and there is more room for growth.

In the image, a large bulge can be seen on the side of the abdomens of the two little girls.

Everyone recognizes it!

This is the implanted tissue expander.

Are they... already preparing for surgery?

Because separation surgery for conjoined twins can result in significant loss of abdominal skin, which is very dangerous for children.

Therefore, before the surgery, a first-stage operation is necessary: placing a tissue expander in the abdomen and periodically injecting saline into it.

This not only increases the distance between the parts of the two children but also cultivates enough abdominal skin to cover the cavity after cutting.

By now, the tissue cultivation for the two infants has been completed, and perhaps the surgery will be needed soon?

Everyone was quickly drawn to the smiling faces of the two little girls.

Conjoined twins, one can say, are fortunate in their misfortune!

Everyone sitting here is a doctor, and after seeing the images, we all can't help but think about how to help these children.

Now we need to see if there are any other entangled internal organs in the abdominal cavity besides the abdominal wall!

This information could directly affect the difficulty and success of the surgery.

For a moment, everyone began discussing quietly.

Just then, Hubert sighed and continued, "These two are my granddaughters. Let me give a brief description of the case."

"The imaging results show that most of the organs in the two children are independent, but the livers are connected and need to be separated, the stomachs and duodenums are entangled, and the most problematic is the pancreas, with the pancreatic heads being severely adhesed, sharing a pancreatic duct."

"This significantly increases the difficulty of the surgery."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent!

If it's really as Hubert said, the difficulty of the surgery could be very high!

Reconstructing the digestive tract is much more difficult than the usual abdominal operations.

Many people fell silent.

At first, Jim Lawrence was excited and thrilled; he thought that if he could successfully perform this surgery...

Not only would it earn him Hubert's friendship, but for an occasion like today, it would undoubtedly be an important promotion for himself!

What could be more suitable than a live operation like this?

But when he heard Hubert's introduction to the patient's imaging results, he immediately fell silent. The entangled intestines, connected liver and pancreas, shared pancreatic duct—the difficulty of the surgery... suddenly exceeded the range he could guarantee!

Should he go or not?

At that moment, Jim Lawrence glanced at Chen Cang, his eyes gleaming.

And then, Hubert, looking at everyone, said, "Actually, I was planning to operate myself.

But when it comes to operating on a loved one, I find it hard to guarantee the outcome of the surgery!

However, after seeing today's presentation, I hope to invite Dr. Chen Cang to operate on my granddaughters and to be the chief surgeon. Would that be possible?"

"Of course, I can assure you that, successful or not, you will become Hubert's best friend!"

Instantly, everyone's gaze turned to Chen Cang!
