1005 Arduously (1/2)

”We're separating the lower right lobe right now, and this is a relatively simple step. But there are some details you need to pay attention to...

”This patient's right triangular ligament is relatively thick, and he has a typical transverse, saddle-like liver. The left lobe of his liver is relatively large, so life after hepatectomy will be easier for him as his left lobe would be able to take over more functions that used to be performed by the right lobe. He'll have quite a large chunk of liver left. In short, the margin for error in the surgery is higher...

”The inferior vena cava and the short hepatic vein have to be completely separated too. Similarly, the process will be relatively easy…”

As Ling Ran was carrying out a demonstrative surgery, he had to explain things in a demonstrative way. Of course, this was not very hard for Ling Ran. He merely had to speak in public, and even though he did not really like doing that, he was not aversive toward it either.

And on the bright side, whenever he carried out demonstrative surgeries, the operating theaters would be extremely quiet. The assistants would be fully focused too, and this made things very comfortable for him.

As they usually had to do eight to ten surgeries a day, even Ling Ran could not force his assistants to be fully focused from the beginning to the end every day.

The team worked a lot better than usual during demonstrative surgeries, which made everything easier for Ling Ran.

However, Ling Ran's voice sounded a little shrill to Chief Physician Ji and Chief Physician Fan.

'Why is he only giving a brief explanation for every step? Can't you be more detailed while also keeping it concise?

'Why is every step being done so fast? Are you sure that you're carrying out a demonstrative surgery?'

Most importantly, Ling Ran looked like he had practiced every single step for years, and his maneuvers were so perfect that it was almost unbelievable. Chief Physician Ji was in disbelief that someone was actually able to achieve this.

After all, a skill could not be learned in a day or two. It took months and years of practice.

There were bound to be days when people were not feeling their best. They might be ill or in a bad mood. They might also get affected by external factors such as a cheating spouse or the financial crisis. How was it possible for any doctor to be at their best and give their all to a training session every day? It was very normal for doctors to slip up every now and then, gain weight or get cheated on by their spouse.

However, this phenomenon was not seen in Ling Ran at all.

Chief Physician Ji could not help but look at Old Fan.

They knew each other very well, and Old Fan immediately understood what the other party meant. He could not help but shake his head and whispered to Chief Physician Ji, ”Don't you find this young man a little strange?”

Chief Physician Ji actually agreed with what Old Fan had said, but he merely lowered his head and kept quiet.

”Chief Physician Ji, I'm actually not very familiar with hepatectomy.” Old Fan was not worried about embarrassing himself. He was Chief Physician Ji's right hand man to begin with, and it was very normal for him to show signs of weaknesses.

Chief Physician Ji hummed in acknowledgement and said slowly, ”Focus on the basic maneuvers. He found fault with the way we suture patients, after all.”

”Understood,” Old Fan quickly replied.

Chief Physician Ji forced a smile. He acted like he had everything under control.

Truth be told, Old Ji was actually extremely anxious too.

He had actually performed quite a lot of cases of hepatectomy. All general surgeons were willing to perform hepatectomy when they were younger. This was after all, the surgical method that could ensure the fast development of their careers.

However, Old Ji was too diffident to say that he knew how to perform hepatectomy in front of what Ling Ran was doing right now.

From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of finding fault with Ling Ran's maneuvers that were exclusive to the surgical method.

He just wanted to find fault in the basic maneuvers Ling Ran performed.

Such as the separation of the liver… Hm… he seemed to have sliced it off already.

Chief Physician Ji turned and saw that Ling Ran was treating the wounded area, and he could not help but go into a daze.

This was where they had their disagreement earlier.

Chief Physician Ji included a suggestion that they could use titanium clips for bleeding control in the expert opinion article, and Ling Ran criticized him so badly that he almost peed his pants.

But in reality, things would be faster with the help of titanium clips.

And when hepatectomy was done quickly, it meant that the patient would lose less blood and have a better prognosis. And the most important steps to hepatectomy was separation of the liver and the treatment of the wounded area.
