Chapter 1354: Chapter 1027: Popcorn

Aisha’s heart has been completely mobilized and is now held in Yang Ping’s hands, as Yang Ping prepares to incise the heart to reshape its interior structure, which is akin to repairing the internal structure of an engine.

At this moment, Manstein seizes the opportunity to zoom in on this scene, and Brian is so frightened that sweat breaks out on his forehead. He has never witnessed such a scene before, holding a living person’s heart in the palm of his hand, and moreover, this heart belongs to his beloved granddaughter.

"How about it, can you see clearly?" Manstein asks beside him.

Still reeling with shock, Brian feels that there must be some unresolved animosity between him and Manstein, otherwise why would Manstein seem to take pleasure in startling him now and then.

"Why isn’t the heart beating?" Brian wipes the sweat from his forehead.

Manstein speaks slowly, "This is an ex vivo heart, and it has been injected with a cardioplegic solution before mobilization. Professor Yang has artificially stopped the heartbeat, and now Aisha’s body relies on extracorporeal circulation for blood supply. Soon, Professor Yang will open the heart and perform surgery inside to correct congenital abnormalities, returning it to normal."

Holding the heart in hand like this is quite a frightening sight for Brian, who is not a doctor.

"Is everything under control?" Brian asks anxiously.

Manstein replies uncertainly, "It’s hard to say. Regardless of whether we can control it or not, the surgery must proceed this way."

Brian turns his head to look at Manstein, who is intently focused on the surgical procedure on the screen.

The tasks that follow all require meticulous technical skills, such as repairing defects in the interventricular septum and interatrial septum, correcting anomalies at various exits, and correcting deformities in the major vasculature. Brian, lacking the experience of a surgeon, of course, cannot comprehend, but he understands the danger and difficulty of this stage, so he watches the entire procedure without letting his vigilance wane for a moment.

Perhaps Brian has never been as tense in his entire life as he is now, his nerves are taut, as if about to snap at any moment, while his heart pounds wildly inside his chest, striking his ribs forcefully.

Manstein notices out of the corner of his eye that Brian is restless. He knows he can’t keep going like this; if this continues, Brian might not make it through. His fingers manipulate the remote control, shifting the view from the close-up back to a normal perspective, as a normal view doesn’t have the same strong visual impact as a close-up.

The young doctors observing the surgery from the back see the eminent figure manipulating the remote control now and then to adjust the view and don’t dare say anything, after all, the figure is a Nobel Prize laureate and a good friend of Professor Yang. If it were anyone else fidgeting with the view during surgery observation, the rest might rise in protest and wouldn’t hesitate to curse.

Zhang Lin, who usually likes to confront others and never hesitates to challenge any foreigner coming for further education, doesn’t dare confront Manstein; he truly doesn’t dare, because Manstein is even more skilled at confrontation, often challenging those academic giants from Europe and America. Those who have been on the receiving end of his criticism never have the gall to retort. Old Man is just that formidable, and Zhang Lin acknowledges that he has met a world-class master of confrontation.

Even Teacher Zhang doesn’t dare to utter a word, and naturally, no one else dares either, leaving the notable figure to control the view as he pleases.

Now the view is back to the default size, and the full scope of the surgical field is displayed on the screen again, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief and return to observing the procedure normally, without having to constantly watch intense close-ups of the heart.

The demonstration room is located on the periphery of the operating room, within the non-sterile zone, so there’s no need to follow sterile protocols, and management is more relaxed. Doctors often cannot eat at regular times due to surgeries, so it’s perfectly alright for them to have some drinks and snacks while observing surgeries, as long as they don’t make too much of a mess in the demo room. The head nurse doesn’t have the time to oversee this area.

Zhang Lin and Little Five bring a glass of juice to both the distinguished guests, along with a plate of cookies and pastries, allowing them to comfortably observe the surgery. Of course, both teachers also have their own little schemes in mind. Their "Surgical Hook-up Science" is about to be published, and if they can invite Manstein to write a foreword, the book will have a truly international flair.

"Teacher Zhang, thank you, you’re so enthusiastic," Manstein comments with a good impression of Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin and Little Five sit down beside him, with Zhang Lin pointing at the image on the screen and saying, "You’re welcome. Look, the retractor we’re using for this surgery was designed by us."

Manstein takes a look: "Oh---"

He had only been paying attention to the surgery itself, not noticing the retractor being used for assistance. This retractor is indeed something he has never seen before, with a particularly innovative design.

"This retractor is quite good," Manstein compliments.

Zhang Lin, with his rather thick skin, boasts, "This is a world original, the best heart surgery retractor in the world, outclassing all existing retractors. What we have is not just a retractor, but an internationally leading systematic set of surgical retractor technologies."

Manstein nods continually, then his gaze remains on the high-definition screen. His interest in the retractor is fleeting, but out of gratitude for the juice and pastries, he still nods in approval.

This heart surgery is indeed challenging, requiring extensive exploration and reshaping, as Yang Ping proceeds step by step, unhurriedly, with Song Zimo providing intuitive assistance as the assistant.

The task of heart relocation in this operation is equivalent to a heart transplant surgery. Heart transplant surgery mainly involves suturing the blood vessels. But in addition to heart relocation, this surgery requires precise anatomical correction, so each step of this operation is a highly difficult heart surgery on its own.
