Chapter 230 - Lightning-Fast Surgery (Part 4 of 5) (2/2)

After the introducer sheath entered the femoral artery, the guide wire went in with no issue.

Zheng Ren’s cross-hands maneuver flowed like water.

Dr. Shen quietly took out his phone and started a stopwatch.

While watching over Lin Jiaojiao yesterday, he still felt somewhat wronged and simulated the entire scrubbing-in process repeatedly, timing himself as he did so. He wanted to check if Zheng Ren had sped up due to it being an emergency case, thus throwing him off guard.

After Su Yun finished scrubbing in and reached the operating table, Dr. Shen glanced at his phone.

Two minutes and fifteen seconds. This was half the time he took.

Was he also that fast during a normal surgery?

It was only the beginning. After Su Yun joined in, Dr. Shen witnessed the true meaning of efficiency.

IDuring the midnight surgery, he had been in a state of confusion and had not managed to get a clear picture, which was why he ended up “licking” the screen. In this moment, however, he was fully composed and finally able to truly admire how proficient Zheng Ren and Su Yun were at interventional surgery.

Zheng Ren began working at lightning speed once Su Yun joined in.

The micro-guidewire was inserted followed by the microcatheter. From the radiography, the microcatheter’s positioning was unbelievably accurate. Superselective catheterization was performed and the micro-guidewire continued down an invisible artery, executing targeted administration of chemotherapy drugs to hepatic cirrhosis nodules before finis.h.i.+ng them off with embolization.

After treating all of the suspected cancerous nodules, Zheng Ren infused a minute amount of chemotherapeutic medication across the liver as a preventative measure, and the surgery was complete.

Su Yun did not perform manual compression to stop bleeding, instead choosing to use a compression device in accordance with local practice. He then bandaged the patient before proceeding to the next surgery.

Dr. Shen had been completely absorbed throughout the entire surgery up to that moment, where he checked the timer on his phone again.

Twenty-two minutes and fifteen seconds…

Before this, he would have thought that interventional surgeries on hepatocellular carcinoma lasting less than thirty minutes were shams.

However, he had just seen this unbelievably short surgery, so precise that he would never be able to simulate it at his current skill level, with his own eyes.

“What an elegant piece of work!” one of the professors exclaimed.

“The insertion was on point. Chief, I a.s.sume you were referring to the technique of referring to the 3D-image reconstruction of the 64-slice CT scan. It’s really brilliant,” another professor commented.

“Yes, Chief Chu and I helped out Mr. Zheng with the reconstruction for ten hours,” Chief Kong said, immediately feeling a pang of guilt, his wrinkled face flus.h.i.+ng red.

Had they really been helping Zheng Ren?

They did offer discussion and research, but Zheng Ren completed almost 80% of the work by himself. To say that they helped… was quite far-fetched.

While they spoke, Zheng Ren and Su Yun had already started the second surgery.

It was good that they could not hear him. He was just making conversation and there was no need to take his words seriously.

Department Chief Kong smiled when he saw Zheng Ren and Su Yun breeze through the second surgery. Internally, he chuckled as he thought about how this new differential diagnosis and surgical method would soon spread across the entire country and even the world.

The Zheng Method?

Chief Kong became teary-eyed as he thought about it. Nevertheless, he quickly regained his composure. It would not matter if Zheng Ren could not understand such a sentiment.

It was unfortunate that he had such sharp-witted company. The chances of that man brus.h.i.+ng off this matter were close to zero.

If he accidentally offended Zheng Ren, by the time he reached retirement age in less than ten years, Zheng Ren and Su Yun would still be under forty…

Tsk tsk, it was unwise to try to swindle the young.
