Chapter 1102: Chapter 892 Dual Chief Surgeons

These two youngsters actually managed to successfully perform the spine curvature surgery, and both Dr. Jin and Dr. Wen checked the time. Although it had taken more than four hours, managing to securely complete it was no small feat.

After straightening the spine, the next steps were to install the two rods on the pedicle screws and finally to flush and suture.

"Anesthesiologist! Our surgery is wrapping up. Watch the anesthesia time,"

Zhang Lin warned Liang Fatty using a very official tone—Anesthesiologist, instead of the usual Fatty, and his voice was louder, more elevated than before the surgery.

Liang Fatty was stunned for a moment; he had put on an act, but there was no helping it. He had taken the main role in the surgery today, and had successfully completed it.

Yang Ping, dressed in surgical gown, had not participated throughout, merely observing, without even offering guidance.

Little Five and Zhang Lin were slightly less skilled compared to Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang, who, despite their casual demeanor, were indeed very diligent. They could almost be seen daily in the training room either practicing basic skills or drawing anatomy diagrams, and they were also frequent visitors in the Animal Experiment Building, often performing surgeries on pigs.

Even on weekends, these two brothers would be in the Animal Experiment Building slaughtering pigs, catching them by themselves, with Liang Fatty assisting with the anesthesia, and performed surgeries on pigs as real practice.

The most crucial part was that these two had "thick skins." No matter how others mocked or underestimated them, they completely ignored them and focused wholeheartedly on learning.

After the first surgery was done, everyone had lunch, then moved on to the second one.

The second surgery was a coronary bypass on the heart, which Little Five was to perform. Given the precedent, "King of Pressure" Zhang Lin having managed the spinal curvature, Xia Shu, Dr. Jin, and Dr. Wen dare not question Little Five’s capabilities any longer.

Unlike Zhang Lin’s high profile, Little Five tried to behave like a modest gentleman.

He appeared composed, patient, nowhere near as conspicuous as Zhang Lin who seemed like a rooster, afraid that others might not know who the chief surgeon was today, constantly reminding everyone of his role, nor did he rush the patrolling nurse or the anesthesiologist.

Coronary Bypass?

Could Little Five and Zhang Lin perform it?

Although this coronary bypass was of moderate difficulty, requiring only two grafts, it was still a coronary bypass, and moreover, it was a beating-heart coronary bypass. It seemed unlikely for Little Five and Zhang Lin to perform it.

Xia Shu from Fuwai Hospital in Beijing could not be the chief surgeon in such surgeries; usually, these operations were also attended by supervising doctors.

Even though Dr. Jin and Wen Zhong were orthopedic doctors, they were aware of the significance of coronary bypass in cardiac surgery. Was Little Five now so adept? When he first arrived, he was still carrying patients in the emergency room.

And now, he was unbelievably standing at the operating table as the chief surgeon for a coronary bypass surgery—pure magic.

The three of them then looked at Yang Ping, who, just like during the previous surgery, had washed up, dressed, and stood by watching, without saying a word.

Opening the chest, exposing the heart—Little Five was well-practiced. Heart, spine, and skull are the top three types of surgeries in the Surgical Research Institute. Usually, during surgeries involving the heart done by Song Zimo, the steps of opening the chest and exposing the heart were carried out by Little Five, who sometimes even handled exposing the coronary artery, with Song Zimo taking over only for the crucial step of anastomosing the coronary artery.

So, opening the chest, exposing the heart, and isolating the coronary artery were tasks Little Five handled like an expert, with Zhang Lin also skillfully assisting.

"Teacher Zhang, look, this is the coronary artery we need to graft, right? Take a look, correct isn’t it?"

It seemed Little Five and Zhang Lin, these two fellows, really had only fifty percent confidence individually, and the other fifty percent was in each other’s hands. Only when they worked together could they be fully sure.

"Let me see. Yes, you’re right, go ahead!" Zhang Lin confirmed after checking.

"Good, we’ll start harvesting the internal mammary artery!" Little Five, reassured by Zhang Lin’s confirmation, then proceeded to the next step.

Dr. Jin, Dr. Wen, and Xia Shu watched from the side, finding these two quite amusing. Either of them, when serving as chief surgeon, had to consult with the other. It seemed as if without this consultation, they couldn’t proceed with the surgery.

Would it mean that in the future, they could only perform major surgeries together, and neither could conduct one alone?

Little Five carefully harvested the internal mammary artery, moving a bit slowly, but very meticulously, strictly following the usual procedure for handling blood vessels.

After extracting the internal mammary artery, Little Five meticulously prepared it. Since it was a beating-heart bypass, the patient’s heart was still pumping normally, allowing the patient to endure a lengthy operation and proceed slowly.

Having prepared the internal mammary artery, Little Five began the anastomosis of the coronary artery by grafting it.

Anastomosing blood vessels was an area in which Little Five excelled; every doctor at the Surgical Research Institute was proficient in vascular anastomosis, as it was a fundamental skill of their sect.

Little Five and Zhang Lin consistently practiced surgical basics every day, with microsurgery training being a focus, and under the microscope, blood vessel anastomosis was a particular emphasis. Therefore, anastomosing blood vessels was not challenging for them.

However, regular microscopic blood vessel anastomosis was static, the vessels held in place. In contrast, the coronary bypass, with the coronary artery moving along the pulsing heart, meant the vessel moved too, making anastomosis of a moving blood vessel more challenging than a static one.
