Chapter 717: Chapter 638: Am I a Pirated Version?

PS: Today is too busy, I’ll post this now, and revise it tomorrow morning, thank you all!

After the anesthesia, the patient’s body was positioned properly.

Directors Liu and Li each took charge of one side of the surgery, and they led their junior doctors in sterilizing their hands, disinfecting and covering the patient. Aside from the surgical team, there were no extra personnel in the operating room. Any misconducting doctors trying to sneak in were promptly ejected by the patrolling nurse.

The sterility requirement for organ transplant surgeries is very high, thus, these two operating rooms were both class 100 operating rooms, the highest level in the hospital.

Yang Ping, with Professor Yao, was sterilizing his hands. While doing so, he remembers to comfort the person who holds the rights: "Professor Yao, today I will be using your ischemia-free transplantation technology, I thank you greatly. I might be needing extra guidance down the line, as they are not very familiar with this."

Professor Yao nods awkwardly, ’they’ are not familiar, but are ’you’? Your first time using this technology would require a lot of practice.

He would observe as he walked. If indeed this guy was not familiar, he would step in himself. After all, it’s his own innovation; he couldn’t let its reputation be tarnished. The theory is only theory, practice is practice, they shouldn’t be confused.

As this new technology debuts outside of Nandu Affiliated Hospital One, its originator must safeguard its reputation. Everyone in the room was watching closely.

"If you notice any mistakes or deficiencies in my work, please point them out at any time. You can replace me if necessary." Yang Ping emphasized again, showing respect to the original innovator.

Alright, let’s see you make a splash!

Professor Yao followed to sterilize his hands. Being the first person to perform organ transplant surgery in South China, he was calculating in his mind, first, observing the skill level of Professor Yang. Typically, one can gauge the surgeon’s skill level from the first few steps of the operation. If all else fails, he would step in to salvage the surgery.

Yang Ping claimed he would be performing the surgery, so Directors Liu and Li dared not make a move. After covering the patient, they put on their surgical gowns and stood by the operating table, waiting.

The surgery officially started after Yang Ping and Professor Yao got dressed in their surgical gowns and began their pre-surgery check.

---

The surgery hadn’t officially begun.

The display screen was split in half, one camera focused on the surgical area, which was currently just a sterile green drape. The other camera was pointed towards the operating room where the surgical team was taking their positions.

The teaching room of the operating room was in an unrestricted zone, close to the resting area of doctors and nurses. It was now filled with people.

In addition to the eight external experts, Director Zhao from the medical department was present, as well as a deputy attending physician from the organ transplant center, and available doctors, masters, and standard training residents, etc. from each department.

Professor Wang, Professor Pei, and Director Zhao sat in the first row.

The desk in front of them was filled with tea and snacks. Professor Wang, feeling a bit bored, grabbed some sunflower seeds and peanuts to snack on.

Director Zhao had to take a call. He excused himself from the professors and had to step out for a bit. He instructed the deputy attending physician from the organ transplant center to attend to the experts.

"I was wondering, Yao Qingxiang is the one who performs the surgery. Look at that, he’s sterilizing his hands and getting ready to step up there."

Professor Wang picked up a cup of freshly poured tea, took a sip and pondered, Director Zhao was next to him just now, so it wasn’t convenient for him to provide any commentary. Now that Director Zhao had stepped out, he could freely offer his thoughts.

"Something’s not right, how come Professor Yang has walked into the chief surgeon’s spot? Yao Qingxiang is messing with the machine’s pipelines. I wonder if Yao Qingxiang is only responsible for operating the machine, and is maintaining the non-ischemic organ."

Professor Pei noticed that the positions around the operating table were becoming clear.

Professor Yao was tinkering with the pipelines of the extracorporeal multiple organ repair machine. When an organ is detached from the donor, this machine can be connected to the organ to maintain blood and oxygen supply, preventing ischemia.

This way, the organ would never be ischemic throughout the whole process, and the entire transplant would happen with heat. Therefore, the organ stays alive, which leads to the most desirable results post-transplant, with the fewest complications.

"No way, he’s really the chief surgeon? Sanbo Hospital does have guts. I never thought they would mess around with this kind of surgery." Professor Wang took a closer look, Yang Ping was indeed in the chief surgeon’s position.

The positions of the surgical team, including the chief surgeon, first assistant, and second assistant, have to follow a certain arrangement and mustn’t be changed thoughtlessly.

So, at the start of a surgery, as long as the team isn’t completely new, they would have a very ordered arrangement. This is similar to playing basketball or soccer, where everyone has their own roles and positions on the team.

Professor Wang suddenly lost half of his interest. If Yao Qingxiang was the chief surgeon, then it would be a normal surgical demonstration.

A simple kidney or liver transplant by Yao Qingxiang could be completed in three hours without any problem. If he were to perform both a kidney and liver transplant, five to six hours of operation time would be normal. If the assistants don’t cooperate well, the operation could take even longer.

"Handsome!"

Professor Wang beckoned a doctor who was in charge of hospitality.

The doctor immediately ran over to see what the big shot needed.

"Where’s your restroom?" Perhaps the big shot had a stomachache and had been holding it in for a while. Seeing that the surgery had not started yet, he decided to relieve himself at the restroom.

The doctor immediately guided the big shot to the restroom and returned to the teaching room after ensuring he was looked after.

---

Now that the pre-surgery check was completed, the surgery could begin.

"Shall I start?"

Yang Ping confirmed again.

"Start!"

Director Liu nodded, this was his first time performing surgery with Yang Ping and he was anxious.

Yang Ping made a sleek arc-shaped incision in Li Jun’s right side abdomen with the scalpel in his hand. It was only five or six centimeters long, half the length of the ten centimeters that Director Liu usually made for kidney transplants.

The incision was neither too deep nor too shallow, just enough to cut through the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Yang Ping switched the scalpel with an electric knife, sliced open the deep fascia of the abdomen, revealing the bright red muscle. Yang Ping lightly touched the muscle with his finger, while cutting it open with the electric knife, then reaching in, pushing aside the peritoneum, and locating the kidney outside the peritoneum, following it to the kidney’s arteries, veins and ureter.

Having found Li Jun’s right kidney, Yang Ping helped Director Liu and the second assistant adjust the retractors, bringing the entire kidney and the connecting blood vessels and ureter into view.

"Kidney retrieval! Professor Yao, please prepare the machine."

Yang Ping finished the first step and started the second step.

Only a few minutes passed, and Li Jun’s kidney was exposed. The scrub nurse hadn’t even gotten a chance to hand over the hemostatic gauze yet.

As soon as the surgery started, Yang Ping wasted no time and told Director Liu, who had not yet gotten over the shock, "Kidney retrieval!"

Director Liu assisted in the kidney retrieval, and Yang Ping took him to another operating room, changing gloves.

Director Liu was still in a daze when, a few minutes later, Yang Ping removed Qin Xiaowei’s kidney and handed it to Professor Yao to be placed in the organ washing machine slot, connecting various tubes to ensure perfusion of the organ.

Yang Ping, Director Liu, the second assistant and Professor Yao, all holding the live kidney, moved to Li Jun’s side.

Yang Ping worked swiftly, immediately severing the blood vessels and ureter of Li Jun’s failing kidney, removing the organ.

Then he connected Qin Xiaowei’s kidney, suturing Qin Xiaowei’s renal arteries and veins onto Li Jun’s internal and external iliac arteries and veins.

Even baby blood vessels could be connected, this larger vessel was very easy. Yang Ping’s suture on the blood vessel was like a precise machine, steady and fast, with completely symmetrical stitch and sideline, very beautiful.

After anastomosing the blood vessels, he opened them up, there was not a single leak at the anastomosis, no need for reinforcement stitches, the blood supply to the kidney was very good. Then he sutured Qin Xiaowei’s ureter into the top of Li Jun’s bladder and inserted a stent into the ureter for the anastomosis opening to prevent narrowing of the tube.

The entire process took only half an hour, and the kidney transplant was completed!

Professor Yao was a bit behind, this was his technique, but this person was much more proficient than himself, and handled several details far better than he.

Impossible! It made no sense!

Could it be that I’m the imposter, and he’s the originator?

Professor Yao collected himself, it felt like a dream, half an hour. It was impossible for him to complete it in under two hours, three was the usual time.

"Which should we do first, liver transplant or kidney transplant?"

Professor Wang came out of the restroom, his stomach now feeling much better, he took a sip of tea to warm his stomach.

"Shall we do the liver transplant first?"

Professor Pei didn’t respond, so Professor Wang made his own judgment.

"The kidney transplant is done!"

Professor Pei was out of sync, responding to Professor Wang’s words.

Professor Wang checked his watch. He’d just been to the restroom, and all in all, hadn’t taken a half-hour break. How could the kidney transplant be done so fast?

"Pei! This is not funny."

Professor Wang thought Professor Pei was joking; clearly, this joke had no punchline.

Professor Pei hit his forehead a few times and sighed, "It’s really done, I’ve been doing organ transplants for twenty years, never seen anyone with such fast hands. You didn’t see it just now, the skills in anastomosing blood vessels and the ureter were extremely high-level. Anyway, I can’t match that level."

Either way, Professor Pei couldn’t find any suitable words to describe it.

Seeing Professor Pei’s off-state, as if he’d been punched and knocked out, Professor Wang turned to ask a professor from Huaxi Hospital, "The kidney transplant is done?"

"It’s done! Watch, don’t talk, otherwise, you’ll miss the entire liver transplant."

The Huaxi Hospital professor seemed fixated on the screen.

Damn it!

That’s what Professor Wang said in his heart.

Being a professor himself, he could only curse in his heart, while his eyes were fixed on the screen as if they were stuck.
