Chapter 1112: Chapter 896: You Are One of the Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers Besieging the Great Saint_2

From the surgery demonstrated by Song Zimo, the procedure was extremely safe and minimally invasive, requiring only the implantation of a growth plate inhibitor through puncture under the monitoring of a C-arm machine or a navigation system.

The entire surgery could be completed under local anesthesia, and the patient could get out of bed and move normally the next day after surgery. Within a few days, they could participate in sports activities normally. Throughout the corrective process, the patient was just like any other normal person.

Under the conditions of a completely undisturbed normal life and study, the spinal deformity was quietly and safely corrected.

Among the doctors sitting in the front row, there was also a top expert, whose emotions were complex, feeling both excited and disappointed.

He was Dr. Volhausen, the director of the Spinal Surgery Center at the Belk Foundation Hospital in France, where Professors Cotrel and Dubousset, two masters of CD, had previously worked.

In 1983, Dr. Yves Cotrel met Dr. Jean Dubousset, and the two instantly hit it off, becoming close friends. They co-created the revolutionary three-dimensional spinal scoliosis correction concept and based on this concept designed the first generation of the spinal correction system CD Spinal Internal Fixation System, making them the inventors of modern three-dimensional spinal deformity correction surgery and the forefathers of modern spinal correction.

Yves Cotrel was not only the inventor of modern three-dimensional spinal scoliosis correction surgery but also the founder of the well-known spinal surgical instruments manufacturer, Sofamor S.A., which he found in 1973.

In 1998, Medtronic acquired Sofamor Danek for $3.6 billion in stock to gain a leading position in the spinal products market, illustrating the global stature of the Sofamor Company in the field of spinal surgical instruments.

Dr. Volhausen was a student of these two masters, and he not only listened intently to Song Zimo’s presentation, but during the tea break, he also took note of a Chinese medical equipment company, Ruixing Company.

This Chinese company produced almost the entire range of orthopedic instruments, including sports medicine, joints, spine, and trauma products. Among them, the spinal products not only had a variety of types but also had a high scientific and technological content, such as the new three-dimensional fixation system, external spinal fixation frames, growth plate inhibitors, etc., each one a disruptive innovative product.

In this way, the innovation of Chinese doctors was not local; it was systemic innovation, from surgical concepts to surgical procedures, and to surgical instruments—a complete, closed-loop system was established. Yves Cotrel and Jean Dubousset also innovated systemically in their years.

Meanwhile, Dr. Woodhead from the Twin Cities Spine Center in the United States was sitting in the front row. He was one of the top American spine specialists, and he was in great anguish because his Chinese Level Four had not passed, causing him to miss out on so much. If he had already passed, he might have learned these techniques by now and would have been proficient in applying them.

August had already participated in the research of precision growth plate inhibition technology, standing at the forefront of spinal surgery, while he had fallen far behind.

Woodhead was determined to pass the Chinese Level Four no matter what, to seize the opportunity to further his studies at Sanbo Hospital.

Fujiwara Masao was also feeling complicated at the moment. He had known Professor Yang Ping for a long time, not only had he demonstrated surgery at academic conferences with Sanbo Hospital, but he had also invited Professor Yang to perform surgeries as the chief surgeon at the Affiliated Hospital of Tokyo University. His uncle’s surgery was performed by Professor Yang as the chief surgeon.

He could not believe how fast Professor Yang had progressed. Back then, he had even motivated his team’s younger generation to work hard and strive to surpass Professor Yang at Sanbo Hospital.

But now, it seemed that the gap was growing wider and wider, and it was not just one Yang Ping; there was now a powerful team.

Previously, he could still see Yang Ping’s figure in the distance, but now he could not see the figure of Yang Ping running ahead anymore.

Feelings of oppression, desperation, and desolation gathered in Fujiwara’s heart.

Fujiwara Masao now had a very worrying issue: his sister, Fujiwara Miyuki, had been fascinated by Professor Yang since going to China. Regrettably, Professor Yang was already married, so Miyuki had now decided to remain single and not marry, even dismissing a family-arranged marriage that had already been settled without hesitation.

Fujiwara truly regretted sending his sister to China for the academic conference back then.

Takahashi, Sasaki, and Mitsui were also seated in the second row.

Sasaki and Mitsui were rare medical prodigies from Japan. As top students from Tokyo University, the previous generation of professors considered them medical geniuses rarely seen in a century.

Of course, they truly were. Not only were their academic grades outstanding, but their academic achievements after joining the profession were also extremely impressive, practically the superhumans of orthopedics.

Previously, when Professor Yang Ping was the chief surgeon at Tokyo University, they had always held a grudge against him. They believed that through hard work, they could one day surpass Professor Yang, who only prevailed because of the large volume of surgeries and the large base of patients in China.

Originally, they too had come with their own academic accomplishments, hoping to meet Yang Ping and see his situation.

Yang Ping did not attend, but his assistant did, who was the first to speak and definitely the star of this conference.

Now, both Sasaki and Mitsui feel inferior to Song Zimo, as Sasaki is merely an assistant to Yang Ping.

Why do they feel increasingly distant, and why is this so?

"Takahashi, you’ve been to China. Isn’t Song Zimo actually the top orthopedic doctor in China?"

Sasaki asked his colleague Takahashi, which was the only conclusion he could draw.

"No, Song Zimo is just one of Yang Ping’s assistants, and he has another one right over there on our left," Takahashi said with a smile.

Sasaki and Mitsui turned their heads to look, and indeed, there was a Chinese doctor in a Zhongshan suit not far to the left.

However, this individual’s hair was a bit messy, and he had a somewhat unkempt appearance, sitting there sternly without saying a word, not looking like an expert at all.

"I’ve always said that Professor Yang is an insurmountable mountain. You guys just can’t do it, honestly. It’s not me wanting to strike you down, but your hope of surpassing Dr. Song is very slim. What you just saw was Dr. Xu. If you want to surpass Professor Yang, you first have to surpass him, and I see your chances as very slim. After him, you still have to surpass Dr. Song before you can even hope to climb the highest peak, but the first step is like reaching for the sky."

"Is he really that impressive?" Mitsui Tasuku felt dejected.

"Not just impressive, very impressive. He was personally trained by Professor Yang. Don’t be fooled by his ordinary look. In terms of surgery, no one here today can defeat him. The only one who could is another student trained by Professor Yang, whom you just saw as Dr. Song. In one hour, he completed a highly difficult spinal scoliosis correction. They have set records in spinal scoliosis surgery, and to this date, not one of their cases led to spinal cord damage, not even the slightest, and all the cases they operate as chief surgeons are the most challenging," Takahashi felt his fellow disciples didn’t understand the depth.

After witnessing Yang Ping’s surgery last time, they were conquered but never convinced, always hoping to surpass Yang Ping academically.

Because everyone considered them prodigies, and it was hard for them to bow down to a Chinese doctor at such a young age with remarkable accomplishments.

"Takahashi, you have completely insulted our dignity by going to China to take him as a teacher, and Teacher Fujihara supported you as well," Mitsui expressed his dissatisfaction.

"I understand how you feel. You are considered geniuses by everyone, having spent your lifetime training to become one of the hundred thousand celestial warriors surrounding the Great Saint," Takahashi said calmly.

Sasaki and Mitsui turned their heads, staring at Takahashi.

It really hurt, truly hurt!

These words indeed touched on the sore spot of both Sasaki and Mitsui, and at that moment, both felt extremely uncomfortable, almost suffocating.

"This is the level of the Great Saint!"

Takahashi handed a Chinese journal over to Mitsui next to him. Mitsui took the journal, but she couldn’t understand Chinese at all.

"I’ll read it when the Japanese version comes out," she said.

Takahashi took the journal back.

Takahashi handed a Chinese journal over to Mitsui next to him. Mitsui took the journal, but she couldn’t understand Chinese at all.
