When the Doctor Uses A Hack

In the operating room, hope was reignited once again.

Facing such surgery, everyone hoped to exert their utmost effort to save the patient.

Although reality might not always align with their wishes.

But at this moment, Chen Cang was tirelessly turning everyone's desires into reality.

Watching Chen Cang's actions, Gao Huarong couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

Because he discovered that Chen Cang was incredibly familiar with the anatomical structure of the liver's blood vessels; to say he knew it like the back of his hand was no exaggeration.

The middle hepatic lobe is the heart of the liver, with many complex hepatic ducts, blind ducts, and blood vessels crisscrossing within it.

How to neatly avoid or excise them becomes particularly important.

Chen Cang truly spared no mercy in his excisions, which made Gao Huarong somewhat nervous.

Fearing that Chen Cang might remove too much and cause liver failure.

Yet, every time Chen Cang made a cut, Gao Huarong was pleasantly surprised to find that these parts of the liver were likely already necrotic.

What kind of experience does one need to have such precise judgement like Chen Cang?

This made Gao Huarong unable to avoid pondering a question: just how many livers had Professor Chen dissected?

Looking at Chen Cang's scalpel, Gao Huarong couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. What kind of scalpel was this?

Time slowly passed...

Everything that needed to be excised had been removed by Chen Cang.

Looking at the remaining liver that might be less than half its size, everyone was somewhat worried.

But Chen Cang always made quick and accurate decisions at critical times.

To excise or to repair?

That is the question!

But in Chen Cang's eyes, these were not issues at all.

The red necrotic tissue, all excised, not a bit spared.

As for the yellow or lighter tissues, if there was a chance for repair, Chen Cang would proceed with vascular anastomosis.

The anastomosis of blood vessels was still very challenging because of the liver's irregular shape, which made the angles of vascular anastomosis particularly special!

The nearby hepatic veins were not damaged, but the angles of anastomosis for many peculiar small blood vessels were difficult for the average person to handle.

Gao Huarong's cooperation was needed to control the blood flow.

Moreover, these blood vessels all stemmed from major vessels, so suturing would require directly blocking the blood flow.

"Professor Chen, we have at most 5 minutes!" Gao Huarong looked at Chen Cang with some worry.

The challenging angles and tortuous paths of the blood vessels increased the difficulty of suturing.

But if anastomosis wasn't successful, these ischemic tissues would definitely not recover.

If excised, the remaining liver tissue would not be able to maintain the body's metabolism.

This didn't seem to be a matter of choice.

It was a pressing major issue!

After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang nodded and said,

"It's about right."

This clearly stupefied Gao Huarong.

Really?

But this wasn't the time to dwell on this matter.

"You say start, and I'll block the blood vessel." After speaking, Gao Ronghua looked at Chen Cang uneasily: "This... come on!"

He thought for a long time, truly unsure of what else to say.

Although he had seen Chen Cang repair blood vessels before, the...

The vascular locations in the middle hepatic lobe were special, and repairing them was highly difficult, requiring the coordination of both hands.

Chen Cang nodded, giving Gao Ronghua a reassuring look: "Let's begin!"

Gao Huarong was taken aback. Was there no need to prepare?

After Chen Cang spoke, he picked up the needle holder and glanced at Old Ma.

Old Ma was well-practiced, having been with Chen Cang for a long time, he could even understand Chen Cang's looks.

After all...

In the operating room, everyone wore masks, revealing only their eyes, so over time, a single glance could convey everything.

The moment the vascular clamp closed off the vessel, Chen Cang's quick reflexes and skilled hands immediately began his most adept task of vascular anastomosis!

Tricky angles?

Nonexistent!

From the start, Chen Cang had already awed Director Gao!

Not used to using the left hand?

No!

Chen Cang's left hand is even more dexterous than his right!

His right hand is more nimble than Old Ma's brain...

Is this vascular anastomosis for the liver?

Large vessel anastomosis differs fundamentally from small vessel anastomosis.

Large vessels demand precision!

Small vessels require minimal damage!

The course of the liver's vessels calls for a resection and anastomosis during the operation, which introduces additional considerations.

But Chen Cang has profound expertise with the vessel paths, familiarity with the vessels, and skill in anastomosis!

That left everyone stunned, well, except for Old Ma!

Gao Ronghua couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, can it be done this quickly?"

To be honest, it was everyone's first time witnessing Chen Cang perform liver surgery, and it was truly a delightful surprise.

Yu Yonggang looked at Chen Cang with the same admiration a mother-in-law holds for her son-in-law.

Initially harboring deep prejudice.

But...

Gradually, he discovered just how outstanding this son-in-law was.

So now, he was growing more fond by the minute, reaching the point where he wasn't just willing to marry off his daughter, but wished he could marry the son-in-law himself if he were twenty years younger...

Uh!

This is getting messy.

But Yu Yonggang didn't think it mattered.

After all, for such an outstanding young man, a little chaos is fine, no big deal.

You tell me, isn't he outstanding?

That's why in the entire operating room, Old Ma was the one with a detached air of transcendence.

Old Ma had grown accustomed to Chen's typical show-off routines and thus seemed unperturbed.

He might even comment during Chen Cang's anastomosis, "This... is a bit slower than last time, eh!"

That remark made Gao Huarong watch sideways, somewhat surprised.

"Slow?"

Old Ma sighed and shook his head, choosing not to speak.

This show-off trick left the nurses beside him puzzled. Isn't this... Professor Chen's usual stunt?

Chen Cang's eyebrows twitched.

Forget it.

Thinking of the meal ticket for the next half year, Chen Cang felt it was worth enduring, after all... Beggars can't be choosers.

The surgery proceeded steadily.

Soon, the vascular anastomosis was completed!

In less than 3 minutes, the successful anastomosis was achieved, and the moment the vessels were released, Chen Cang quickly exchanged his left glove for a sensory one.

Then he carefully touched the liver.

The ischemic tissues, after a brief interruption of blood supply, were receiving blood again, and Chen Cang gently sensed the feedback from the liver.

Perhaps these tissues might have a chance to survive...

The completion of the vascular anastomosis and the liver resection brought the surgery to 80% completion,

The timeliness of the surgery meant that there weren't many problems with the patient's vital signs now.

But liver failure and renal failure are the second leading causes of post-surgery death.

Having anticipated kidney issues in advance, with enhanced perfusion and medication, kidney problems might not be significant.

But the current state of the liver...

How it recovers is truly left to fate now.

Take it one step at a time.

If it were not for Chen Cang, the patient wouldn't have even retained their current liver.

Watching Chen Cang, Gao Huarong felt genuine admiration: "That's it, we've done all we could. As for the recovery, it's out of our hands now."

Truth be told, Gao Huarong never expected the patient to survive.

Really!

This surgery might seem stable on the surface, but... only insiders can discern the dangers within.
