Chapter 919: Explain

When Ling Ran came back to the operating table, he became even more skillful and was at ease with his actions. In more hyperbolic terms, one could say that he had assistance from God.

That was just like how a handsome good student would go to the toilet during his exam and revise his cheat sheet while he was inside. It was as if he received help from God!

He did not only do it fast and well, but also had an imposing air, giving him the feeling that he was going to be absolutely successful.

Many general doctors who were watching the stream, especially the doctors who never touched the liver before, always liked to discuss things based on their experiences of dealing with appendixes or gallbladders. They only felt that Ling Ran was performing quite quickly and smoothly, and they thought that they could perform faster and smoother…

However, when Ling Ran emitted this kind of imposing air ensuring certain victory, these normal doctors instantly felt weak.

What did it mean to have an imposing air guaranteeing certain victory? It meant that the surgeon would not shift from his position once he chose it, and he would not hesitate when he cut into the patient.

This was easier said than done.

Many people could not even do this when cutting a cake, not to mention cutting a human body.

They were like the students who did not bring their cheat sheets yet did not know how to answer the questions. There was confusion in their eyes, and they seized every second they could to make a die from their eraser, then threw it in frenzy to choose an answer from multiple-choice questions to save up time which would allow them to check their answers a second time.

For people who truly knew how to perform the surgery, such as the department director of the General Surgery Department, their expressions would be more serious, and they would speak less.

The anatomical structure of the liver and related parts were very complex. The blood vessels, bile duct, and nerves were like complex cables buried under the tiles in a room. Once the tiles were removed and the cement was overturned, touching even one cable would mean affecting all the other cables.

If those cables were severed, it would be even more troublesome. While they could repair what was in front of them, it was impossible for them to switch out most of the severed cables.

During general surgeries, doctors who could not find the vermiform appendix would definitely face a lot of questions during a liver surgery, such as “What’s this?”, “What’s that?”, “Where’s the part?”, and “Who am I?”

A doctor who could accurately distinguish the paths were rare, while the doctors who could answer everything could be considered first-class doctors.

Meanwhile, a doctor who could perform a surgery at a stable speed was often seen in simple surgeries, but it was rare in complex surgeries.

Ling Ran’s current speed was not slow, but he could retain the same smooth flow in his surgery when he performed both the simple and complex parts of the surgery. This was something that was difficult to accept for people.

“Your Ling Ran has really become experienced with hepatectomy,” the department director of the General Surgery Department could not help but compliment. “He must have performed more than one thousand hepatectomies, right?”

“He has exceeded that number since a long time ago.” Huo Congjun was very satisfied when the department director of the General Surgery Department mentioned that Ling Ran belonged to his department, so his expression turned friendly. “Speaking of which, we should hold a seminar for Ling Ran, and it should be about the one thousand cases of hepatectomy he did so that we can study about hepatectomy. It should be quite good.”

The department director of the General Surgery Department laughed. “Of course it’ll be good if you’re willing to make it.”

Holding a seminar was very easy, but the problem was money and manpower.

And people generally did not like to participate in a low-level seminar, as it did not bring any meaning.

However, for a young doctor like Ling Ran, any seminar in which he was the main character was precious. Other hospitals would never offer such a chance to their young doctors.

When that thought came to Huo Congjun’s mind, he started to think about the details.

The Emergency Medical Centre had a lot of money.

“Doctor Ling has now started to perform a resection for another area with metastasis.” Yu Yuan stood slightly close to the front while she introduced the progress of the surgery loudly. Since the doctors watching the live stream could not see her, they thought that she was just like a radio announcer, which caused her to be even more believable.

“As of current, he is still performing the ligation of blood vessels. In the past, Doctor Ling’s greatest strength was anastomosis. Now, he can also perform the operations on blood vessels very quickly. Besides, Doctor Ling’s understanding of the blood vessels’ anatomical structure surpasses that of normal people.” Yu Yuan stopped for a while and said, “This is especially so after his long thinking sessions. After those sessions, the details in Doctor Ling’s surgeries will always be performed incredibly well.”

Everyone looked at Yu Yuan like she was joking, but most of them already felt defeated.

Yu Yuan’s voice continued to drift about the visitation room. “You can currently see that Doctor Ling just avoided a small blood vessel… Hmm, this is a common situation when Doctor Ling performs surgery. Just like what I’ve said. Doctor Ling’s judgment toward the position of the blood vessels is sometimes very precise, in fact, it is extraordinarily precise.”

“It’s as if he just cheated,” said one young doctor very suddenly.

When somebody said that, another person immediately said, “I heard that the United States has developed an imaging technique that can show the position of blood vessels. It’s almost the same as coronary angiography. The safety is even higher…”

“Can you remember it, though?” That question was sprayed on the doctor’s face like an icy shower.

The doctor was instantly rendered speechless.

Forget about the fact that the positions of blood vessels was different in every individual, most of the people still did not know how to perform lymphadenectomy even if the lymphatic vessels were divided into such obvious regions.

“Now that I think about it, how did Ling Ran do that?” This time, the question was passed to Yu Yuan.

Everyone was here to watch the surgery, and they obviously had a goal in mind. Their most basic purpose of being there was to know whether they could do it.

Before Yu Yuan spoke, another female doctor in the room said airily, “Does Doctor Ling only cheat during operations?”

Everyone placed their attention on the operating theater. On the opposite side of the glass were shadowless lights, masks, and surgical caps, but even with those things, they still felt as if Ling Ran had cheated, somehow.

“Some people can cheat in a test whenever they want, while some will still be unfortunate whether they cheat or not.” An empathic sigh made the atmosphere in the visitation room plunge to the bottom.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the operating theater became better.

After receiving more knowledge through the Virtual Human halfway through the surgery, Ling Ran’s surgery became smoother.

To his current self, he was already very familiar with being able to perform surgeries smoothly, and it was especially so for surgeries like hepatectomy. Ling Ran could handle it with ease.

However, Young Dai’s body condition was too bad, and his abdominal cavity was a mess. Ling Ran was not very confident about whether he could go through with the entire radical surgery either.

In fact, he had the thought of turning it into a palliative surgery.

If he went through a palliative surgery, the patient might die soon. He could live for a few months only, but he could at least say goodbye to his family and friends when he was still conscious.

Radical surgery was what Ling Ran pursued. If he did not want to challenge the possibility of radical surgery, he would not have arranged surgery for the patient. After all, the completion of a radical surgery also did not mean a longer survival period.

Everything relied on probability.

However, the probability of surviving in radical surgery was always higher. Besides, the possibility of complete recovery also existed. Although this possibility was extremely low, this kind of probable existence could still produce a qualitative change in the patient.

However, the requirement of radical surgery was very strict, so much so that even at the last moment of the Ling Ran, Ling Ran was still not certain whether the surgery was successful or not.

‘I’ll definitely succeed,’ Ling Ran thought. He then raised his head slightly. “Wipe off my sweat.”

A nurse quickly wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and Ling Ran was seen throwing himself into the surgery again.
