500 The Surgery Begins (2/2)

So, to be able to properly observe a surgery in Yun Hua Hospital, one had to enter the operating theater.

However, an operating theater only had space for a limited number of people.

Since the anesthetist, assistants, and nurses also took up space, the operating theater did not have much space for observers.

After a short while, Guo Mingcheng who had just washed his hands again followed Feng Zhixiang into the operating theater.

”Is the patient anesthetized yet?” Guo Mingcheng quickly examined the equipment once again.

This was the downside of working in a hospital he was unfamiliar with, especially when it came to such a difficult surgery. He did not have much trust toward the medical staff there.

”Yes.” Xiao Fang, who was acting as the circulating nurse, quickly answered.

Guo Mingcheng nodded and looked at Professor Feng Zhixiang.

Feng Zhixiang, too, quickly examined the equipment. He then said, ”Doctor Guo, you'll be the chief surgeon. Department Director He, can you delegate two younger doctors who had performed hepatectomy before to act as Doctor Guo's assistants?”

He Yuanzheng immediately understood what Feng Zhixiang meant. He said to his two direct disciples who were standing behind him, ”Go and wash your hands.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

The two doctors immediately did as they were told.

He Yuanzheng shrugged and stood aside. He looked neither happy nor sad, and he was just like a monk who had transcended worldly concerns. In reality, he had merely seen a lot of the world.

Feng Zhixiang was a name that had appeared in medical textbooks. He had probably carried out more than ten thousand general surgeries.

However, at the end of the day, there was a difference between guiding surgeries and actually performing surgeries. The doctor guiding the surgery could do nothing other than reminding the surgeons about the things they would otherwise miss and give some pointers. He might even miss some minor details.

But there was nothing He Yuanzheng could say about this. He was merely a lowly department director of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, and he was in no position to make any comment. Feng Zhixiang had made his opinion of He Yuanzheng obvious when he specifically asked for younger doctors.

”Do get ready. We're getting started.” The moment the two doctors returned, Guo Mingcheng asked for a scalpel and started making an incision. He kind of looked like he was racing against time.

He Yuanzheng raised his head to look at the clock. It was already 4:10 p.m.. They were indeed pressed for time.

*Shick.*

Someone opened the airtight access door again. This time, Huo Congjun entered, followed by Ling Ran.

He Yuanzheng merely nodded at him without greeting him.

Huo Congjun did not greet He Yuanzheng either. He merely stood there and watched the surgery.

Feng Zhixiang looked at Ling Ran for a few seconds before he shifted his attention back to the surgery.

Guo Mingcheng was very fast. It was obvious that he was extremely familiar with the surgical method.

Even though Feng Zhixiang was guiding the surgery, he merely stood aside and watched Guo Mingcheng operate without doing or saying anything. Of course, they were only at the beginning stages, and there was no need for him to remind Guo Mingcheng of anything.

The surgery continued to progress, and everything was basically going smoothly.

However, no one in the operating theater dared to let their guard down.

The first half of hepatectomy was merely an ordinary abdominal surgery. The difficult part only begun when the surgeon started operating on the liver.

”At a far, far away place…”

Huo Congjun's phone started ringing, and his ringtone was a song of Tengri's.

”Excuse me.” As Huo Congjun spoke, he answered the call and hummed a few times in acknowledgement. He then said to Ling Ran, who was standing beside him. ”Emergency hepatectomy. Go ahead and do it.”

”Sure,” Ling Ran said. He then glanced at the operating table before he turned and left.

Feng Zhixiang looked at Ling Ran when he heard the word ”hepatectomy”. However, he said nothing and merely stared after Ling Ran.
