Chapter 1006: Chapter 838: Who Let You On Stage? Part 2

’When it’s time for lunch, take Professor Shi to the resting room to eat, understand?’ "

Director Fang instructed his graduate student, choosing not to accompany his mentor himself so as not to miss a great opportunity.

The graduate student knew that his mentor had to participate in surgery, which was a major event, so he naturally had to take good care of his mentor’s teacher.

"Open the artificial blood vessel!"

Now, one could finally understand the purpose of the artificial blood vessels brought by the instrument merchant. It was like opening a blind box; not knowing the purpose of the instruments until the time of their use was no way to perform surgery.

Hearing Yang Ping’s voice, Director Shi’s gaze immediately shifted from the screen to the operating table.

Yang Ping was ready to adopt a relatively new method, which was the bloodless autograft. He wanted to learn from Professor Yao of Nandu Medical University Affiliated Hospital No. 1, the creator of bloodless heterogeneous organ transplantation. Now, Yang Ping was going to apply this technique to autologous organ transplants.

Since autotransplantation could utilize the body’s own blood circulation, if the organs removed from the body were connected to the patient’s blood circulation system using artificial blood vessels, they could achieve good blood perfusion even away from the body, without the need for much additional equipment.

Huang Jiahui opened the sterile packaging of the artificial blood vessels onto the operating table. These blood vessels were very long and coiled inside the sterile bags.

Director Shi pondered how to use these artificial blood vessels. Even if a segment of the inferior vena cava had to be removed, such long vessels were unnecessary. Moreover, these artificial blood vessels were not only for the inferior vena cava, as there were various sizes and diameters available.

Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, small intestine, inferior vena cava, and a kidney on the left side—eight organs were now ready to be detached from the body, along with the tumor as a whole.

There were at least dozens of artificial blood vessels of various sizes laid out on the operating table, dazzling those who looked on. The blood vessels were inserted into the abdominal cavity one by one.

Everyone finally understood; the artificial blood vessels were being used to bridge the blood supply to the organs. All the arteries and veins of the organs were severed and then bridged using artificial blood vessels, ensuring the organs received almost normal blood supply.

However, the work involved in bridging the arteries and veins of eight organs was immense, and it was truly daunting to watch.

"What is this?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Director Shi asked,

"Bloodless autograft!"

Bloodless autograft? Director Shi had only heard about Professor Yao at Nandu Medical University Affiliated Hospital No. 1 working on bloodless heterogeneous transplantation, but he had not heard of anyone applying it to autografts.

"How come I’ve never heard of this technique?"

Director Shi asked, his face red with embarrassment. In science, it was essential to be honest and inquire rather than pretend to know.

"Aren’t you watching it now? Everything happens for the first time; what’s so strange about that?" Director Fang replied.

The number of artificial blood vessels increased because the organs had yet to be removed from the body, and the coiled vessels were visibly protruding from the abdominal cavity, creating a particularly impressive scene.

"Anesthesiologist, we’re ready to take the big guy out!"

Yang Ping called out.

Liang Fatty immediately reported the vital signs, indicating that everything was fine, and they could proceed.

At that moment, no one was watching the video; all eyes were fixed on the operating table, eager to see what was being removed, their anticipation palpable like waiting for a star to appear at a concert.

It came out; it finally came out!

After being separated for so long inside, everyone was eagerly waiting to see what had actually been removed.

Woosh!

A massive pile of material was removed from the abdominal cavity, too large for a standard sterile tray. The nurse had prepared an enormous metal sterile basin specially, barely managing to contain the mass of material.

Wow!

A simultaneous hush fell over the operating room.

Whether they were young doctors or seasoned professionals, none had ever seen such a spectacular resection: eight organs, along with a tumor. Even the largest tumors they had seen before were single entities, never providing the visual impact of this one.

However, due to the invasion of the tumor, the organs were no longer distinct; it was just a mass of human organs and tumor, still connected by connective tissue.

How were they going to put such a massive collection back in? Everyone was filled with doubt.

The group of removed items was connected by many artificial blood vessels, which supported the organs with blood supply from the patient.

If not for these artificial blood vessels supplying blood, these organs would have to be placed in a specially made ice water protective solution to extend their survival time outside the body.

At Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1, Professor Yao had developed "bloodless" heterogeneous organ transplantation. After the organs were extracted, they were infused with a specially made artificial "nutrient solution" through a machine to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the organs, extending their survival time and minimizing damage due to lack of blood.

Yang Ping was now using "bloodless" autograft, and since they were autologous organs, they could always be kept within a close range of the patient. Unlike heterogeneous organs, which require long-distance transport, since they were within a close range of the patient, it was entirely feasible to continue supplying blood using the patient’s own body and keep the organs from being deprived of blood.

Only because the distance for blood transportation was extended, perfusion of the organs was still somewhat lower than normal, but it was much better than ischemia, and these pipes didn’t much interfere with the various manipulations of the removed organs. Next, he needed to completely excise the tumor from this mass of organs.

Director Shi discovered a critical secret—the group of organs on the sterile table did not show obvious signs of bleeding. Could it be because the bridging by the artificial blood vessels resulted in too low perfusion, causing no bleeding?

Yet the color of the organs and tissues was obviously very good; perfusion shouldn’t be too low. Could it be that the hemostasis was done exceptionally well?

That seemed unlikely. How could the hemostasis be done so perfectly? There would have to be some blood pooling on the operating table.

"Everyone, take turns to go eat lunch, and continue with the surgery,"

Yang Ping directed everyone.

This surgery was taking an unusually long time, probably the longest in the history of the Surgical Research Institute, and without a replacement team, everyone could only go one at a time to take their turn to eat lunch.

Seeing this, Director Fang quickly went to scrub up. How could he miss such a valuable opportunity? He immediately left the operating room, hurried to scrub up and was ready to move in right away once Song Zimo stepped away from the operating table, planning to snatch the first assistant’s position at lightning speed.

Director Fang scrubbed up hastily without any hesitation; he’d rather wait in the operating room with clean hands than miss his chance.

Just when Director Fang had finished scrubbing, the door to the operating room opened, and Song Zimo came out. Director Fang nodded slightly to greet Song Zimo, then chuckled to himself, and immediately dashed to the operating room, ready to seize the first assistant’s position at lightning speed.

But—just then—

His senior brother had already dressed in the surgical gown and was standing at Song Zimo’s former spot on the operating table.

What happened? Had his senior brother skipped eating and quietly gone to scrub up? Why hadn’t he noticed that before?

He had considered everything but hadn’t factored in his senior brother. Now that his senior brother was already at the table, it would be inappropriate to join them, which would mean occupying two spots. Even if he forced his way in, Zhang Lin, who was not an easy person, would definitely lose his temper. What should he do?

"Professor Shi, didn’t you eat lunch yet? How could I bother you? Please go have your lunch; I can cover for a while," Director Fang immediately said.

Without turning back, Director Shi responded, "I ate a bit too much this morning and haven’t digested it yet. It’s a good time to move around."

"Shall we continue? I’ll lend a hand; circulating, pass the fluorescent glasses," Professor Shi quickly geared up, clearly not planning on eating lunch.

With such a surgery, why bother about lunch? Skipping meals for surgeries was common, and his stomach was well accustomed to it.

How to begin? It was a mess, not looking right at all, and many of the blood vessels connected to the artificial blood vessels also needed to be cut. Then what about the blood supply? Director Shi felt that if he were the chief surgeon, he wouldn’t know where to start.

"Who is this?"

Zhang Lin asked.

Director Fang immediately answered for Professor Shi, "Professor Shi Guosheng from Nandu Medical University Cancer Hospital."

"Who told you to come up?"

Zhang Lin was not polite, regardless of who he was. If he wasn’t called up and he climbed up himself, that just wouldn’t do. If there was no discipline in surgery and everyone messed up like this, vying for a position in surgery, it would all end in a brawl.

Zhang Lin’s question instantly made the atmosphere in the operating room tense—on one side was the nationally renowned Professor Shi, on the other, the incredibly formidable Teacher Zhang.
