Chapter 69 - A Surgery Without Highlights (1/2)

The live broadcast in Xinglin Garden started at the same time.

Every doctor who received the notification immediately entered the live broadcast room to watch the surgery if they did not have any important duties to attend to.

[The G.o.d has started performing surgery again. I’m still watching the replay of his last surgery.]

[I watched it twice, but I still don’t understand how the host surgeon removed the worms.]

[My intuition tells me that the host surgeon may be an e-sports expert. Look at that hand speed, he must’ve achieved an average APM of 500, superior to all e-sports G.o.ds! Apart from that, precision is the key, too. He manipulated a tiny pair of forceps outside the body, but every time he grasped a parasite, he didn’t cause any damage to the mucosal layer. That was actually very impressive.]

[I just bought the freshest and most tender tofu ever and prepared thin cotton threads. I believe I can reach the host surgeon’s standard after practicing for one week.]

[Dream on. You’ll never achieve the skill level possessed by the great G.o.d in your lifetime.]

Everyone was chatting and exchanging their experience and thoughts in surgery, but this relaxing atmosphere would be short-lived and existed only when the host surgeon was still disinfecting the operative site and preparing for surgery.

Once the surgery had begun, no viewers wanted a crucial surgical step to get blocked by comments.

Xie Yiren gently placed the scalpel on Zheng Ren’s palm, which he used to make an incision.

[Why do I have a feeling that this is an inguinal hernia case? It sure looks like it, judging by the location, but why would the G.o.d perform such a low-cla.s.s surgery?]

[Didn’t you read the case? This is an uncomplicated case of inguinal hernia. Young man, your speculation is correct.]

[What’s there for us to see? Why didn’t the G.o.d perform a laparoscopic hernia repair instead? Has he reverted back to simplicity?]

A hernia repair was actually uninteresting. Besides, the patient’s condition was uncomplicated and Zheng Ren’s surgery was plain and simple.

The anatomical structures were clearly visible, and every step was textbook. There was absolutely no deviation at all.

That was strange. The host surgeon had recently performed biliary parasite removal that no one had seen before, and this was the simplest hernia repair surgery possible. Did they possess a wide range of surgical knowledge and experience? Would he perform surgery from other departments in the future?

A few doctors’ imagination began to run wild after recalling the first surgery in this live broadcast room—a simple wound debridement and closure.

[There’s really nothing interesting to watch. It’s just a simple case of herniorrhaphy and has been eliminated in our hospital fifteen years ago.]

[That’s true. The host surgeon still has his usual standard. He used a continuous suture technique to reinforce the weak abdominal wall so that the risk of recurrence can be minimized. These are impeccable, but I really can’t see anything special about this surgery.]

[Can anyone tell me what you’ve learned from this surgery?]

Three minutes later, the surgery ended.

Only a few comments flew weakly past the screen in the live broadcast room.

The viewers had become picky after watching numerous advanced surgeries performed by the host surgeon. A simple and flawless hernia repair surgery was unable to satiate the hunger that tormented their hearts.

Every surgeon knew how to repair hernias, especially through laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using a synthetic mesh. Therefore, this surgery had no highlights, disappointing every doctor watching the livestream.

The surgery ended, and so did the stream.

[I heard that the professors in Imperial Capital and Sorcery Capital rarely take the patients’ financial status into account. Those who can afford to consult them don’t really care about the costs anyway.]

[Nowadays, this simple hernia repair surgery has become extinct. I really miss them.]

[:weary face: I’ve just learned laparoscopic hernia repair, but now I’ve a sudden, strong urge to learn herniorrhaphy. I think I should spend some time mastering it, just in case there are any poor patients that require me to perform this surgery.]

All of them were doctors and fully aware of the advantages and disadvantages of these two surgical methods.

What was the purpose of the host surgeon’s ordinary and boring operation? It was self-evident.

…

…

The patient was transferred back to the ward after the surgery was complete.

There was no patient-controlled a.n.a.lgesia pump as the patient would receive only the simplest and most basic treatment.
