Chapter 321 - A Habit of Surgeons (1/2)

Initially, the interventional doctor could not make sense of anything as the superselective catheterization was not targeted. After reading through the patient’s profile, though, he realized that the surgeon had no related imaging for visual reference.

It was a semi-urgent surgery.

Radiography revealed signs of abnormalities in the stratum basalis of the endometrium.

The tissue distribution was not h.o.m.ogeneous; it was thicker in certain areas.

What would he do in that position?

He put himself in the surgeon’s shoes. In such a situation, superselection ought to be done to the 4th-grade artery. However, those arteries were extremely thin and challenging, requiring at least half an hour to successfully superselect even one.

I would take at least half a day to supeselect them all by his estimations, even though the arteriography only displayed a single side of the uterine arteries.

Onscreen, a thick and stiff guide wire successfully pa.s.sed through a vascular curvature.

The interventional doctor fell into deep thought. He just witnessed a minor adjustment to the movement of the guide wire. How had the surgeon managed to do that?

He began twisting motions with his right thumb and index finger as if he was the one standing at the operating table carrying out the surgery.

After a while that seemed anywhere between a moment and an eternity, a lightning bolt shot through his mind and ripped an opening in its dark night sky.

Right! That was it!

Tilting the angle of the guide wire down by 15 degrees by twisting it between the thumb and index finger, with the middle finger as basal support, could ease it through a large curvature!

Despite staring at the screen, his mind was elsewhere.

The joy that had come with the realization that he could improve his skills suddenly dissolved into nothingness.

He watched in shock; the surgeon had completed all superselective catheterizations and embolizations while he had been processing their surgical technique.

There was a tightness in his chest. He knew there was a disparity in skill between himself and the surgeon, but he had not expected the gulf to be so wide…

Despite his sudden enlightenment, the interventional doctor could not see himself catching up with the surgeon; it only made the techniques and methods on display more apparent.

The distance between them grew further apart.

Hmm? This particular superselection seemed rather interesting. The doctor did not have time to sulk and focused on the surgical field.

He had encountered such an artery several days ago during superselection when performing interventional treatment of liver cancer.

No matter how hard he tried, he had been unable to finish the superselective catheterization.

However, this surgeon had made it seem like a walk in the park. The guide wire looked alive, smoothly swimming through the arteries.

From his angle, it ought to be done like this…

The interventional doctor once again moved his fingers accordingly.

In the interventional operating room in Sea City General Hospital, only the low hum of the machine was audible in the enclosed room. With Professor Rudolf Wagner a.s.sisting Zheng Ren with each superselection, the entire surgery was smooth sailing.

Each region with basal cell hyperplasia was embolized without any injury to the patient’s normal endometrium.

The surgery was performed precisely, with so much detail that it was beyond the professor’s current knowledge.

However, it was also done incredibly fast. Even for areas where superselection was more challenging, the professor watched Zheng Ren steadily insert the guide wire without any antic.i.p.ated complications.

Professor Rudolf Wagner was bewildered. He knew that Zheng Ren was very skillful.

But could a man really be that good?

Within 30 minutes, the left uterine arteriography showed that all of the abnormal branches had been embolized. Even if he were equipped with a high-quality guide wire and conducting the surgery in a Heidelberg operating room, he would require at least an hour to finish everything.

Hmm, at least… maybe an hour and a half.

A few of those areas would have been insurmountable to him, as well.

The difficulty of this surgery was… incredible!

[I am so bored, can someone explain what the surgeon was doing?]

[He embolized the mutated areas of adenomyosis. It’s very interesting, each step was absolutely enticing.]

[I can’t understand at all cause I’m just a general surgeon.]
