Seeing that his attempt to impress had failed, Liu Siqi sighed and reluctantly told the truth:

“Cough cough… I guessed, too. I deduced as much after seeing the various symptoms of the patient… And then I still didn’t quite understand, but I vaguely remembered that retroperitoneal ectopic appendicitis does indeed have symptoms similar to those of urinary tract stones. That’s what led me to guess, and I didn’t expect to actually get it right!”

Everyone then nodded in satisfaction.

That’s more like it!

If you, Liu Siqi, knew the answer and we were all clueless, wouldn’t that make us look incompetent?

So you didn’t know either, which shows that we’re all on the same page!

The five of them looked at each other and shared a smile.

However, when they looked up at the screen showing Operating Room No. 3, they were slightly taken aback.

All five of us were clueless, but this young man knew.

Does this mean… we five are all subpar?

Are we… inferior to a youngster?

At this thought, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

We didn’t know because we don’t understand the patient well enough!

Keep watching!

Qian Liang was slightly startled, “Look, this young man has very delicate techniques. Look at how proficient his excision method is; each step is very delicate.”

Liu Siqi said, “I have a question. Why did he make only a 4cm incision? Based on his initial confidence, he should have suspected retroperitoneal ectopic appendicitis, which is harder to deal with than the average case. So, why did he make a 4cm incision?”

Everyone furrowed their brows at this question.

Everyone fell into thought.

Could 4cm represent some special technique?

It was at this moment that Qian Liang said, “It’s confidence!”

Everyone furrowed their brows?

Qian Liang continued, “It seems that this young man, even if he was confident in diagnosing ectopic appendicitis, he was also sure that he could finish the surgery through a 4cm incision. He didn’t need to probe further; this shows his in-depth understanding of the abdominal anatomical structures and his ample self-confidence, allowing him to make this decision.”

“Look carefully, actually… he could have made the incision even smaller. If it wasn’t for patient safety considerations, he might have needed only 2cm!”

“Because each of his steps is basically following the small incision appendectomy technique!”

At those words, everyone fell silent.

What kind of genius was this?

The surgery was completed in just a few minutes!

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Operating Rooms No. 1 and No. 2, which had started first, were still not finished.

So fast!

Operating Room No. 3 was amazing!

Both small and quick!

Instantly.

The outcome was clear!

The five of them nodded in agreement, not expecting that a simple competition could reveal such talent. They were filled with anticipation for the next surgery. During the wait, the experts began to chat.

“Director Qian, you’re well-informed about small incision appendectomies. What do you think of that surgery?” Liu Siqi asked.

Qian Liang thought for a moment before answering, “The small incision appendectomy is quite a cutting-edge procedure. How should I put it? When this surgery was first proposed, the idea was to avoid the disadvantages of both laparoscopic surgery and traditional surgery while combining their advantages.”

“Later, it was found that indeed, this surgery is good, but there’s one problem – its limitations. It’s quite selective in its indications. For those with short onset times and not very high leukocyte counts, the advantages of a small incision are clear. However, for some purulent appendicitis and for appendicitis with several recurrent episodes, which might present with severe adhesions, pursuing a small incision too much can limit exposure and operational space. This affects the surgery and can cause unnecessary damage.”

“So yeah, if we find appendicitis with abscesses, gangrene, or similar conditions, we should follow the principle of safety first and decisively make a larger incision.”

“Actually, the small incision approach has been constantly improving.”

“But I haven’t paid much attention to it since in our hospitals, if we’re doing a small incision, we usually use a laparoscope. It might be more suitable for primary care hospitals. If this surgical technique can be perfected and then spread to the grassroots level in the future, it would indeed be a beneficial technology for the people.”

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

In the midst of the chat, Chen Cang was somewhat excited!

The kill of the Level 29 extraperitoneal ectopic appendicitis monster had yielded a rich haul!

[Ding! Congratulations on your over-level kill of the Level 29 extraperitoneal ectopic suppurative appendicitis boss monster. You’ve earned +1000 experience, +1000 RMB, and received one scalpel.]

[Ding! Congratulations on advancing to Level 15. You have gained +1 skill point!]

The 1000 experience points instantly raised Chen Gang’s level to 15, granting him a skill point. Coupled with the four points he had previously earned, he now had five skill points.

Boss monsters really are different!

1000 experience points, 1000 RMB.

Chen Cang no longer had to worry about unexplained funds, with the system helping me trade stocks, that 1000 RMB was too easy.

What thrilled Chen Cang the most, however, was the third reward: an equipment drop, a scalpel.

What’s the difference between the scalpel of a surgeon and the hand of a bachelor?

This is the mage’s wand, the warrior’s weapon!

For the soldiers who charge into battle, how important is a fitting weapon!

If an appendectomy is considered surgery for beginners, and Chen Cang is still a junior doctor who hasn’t left the newbie village, then that extraperitoneal ectopic appendix was unequivocally a newbie village boss!

A boss must have the prestige of a boss, and Chen Cang could accept these three rewards.

[Scalpel: Green, Attributes: Sharpness +1; Precision +1;]

Seeing the attributes, he immediately became happy.

Sharpness +1, a great attribute. The +1 sharpness of the stitching needle had already made Chen Cang realize the importance of sharpness. Now even the scalpel had this attribute, which was even more convenient.

As for Precision +1, Chen Cang was still somewhat puzzled.

The second surgery was about to begin.

Liu Jian stood by, watching Chen Cang deep in thought; he had been staring at the medical record for a full ten minutes.

Could it be that this patient has some serious or special disease?

With that thought, Liu Jian couldn’t help but become somber.

Let’s be honest!

The way Chen Cang diagnosed the extraperitoneal ectopic appendicitis really floored Liu Jian. As an anesthesiologist with many years under his belt, this was the first time he’d seen anyone diagnose extraperitoneal ectopic appendicitis before surgery.

The diagnosis of ectopic appendicitis is complicated, and it’s easy to misdiagnose. Discovering it early on can lead to effective treatment preparation and reduce and avoid complications from ectopic appendicitis.

Needless to say, Chen Gang’s action just now was quite remarkable!

So much so, that now when Liu Jian saw Chen Cang lost in thought, his instinct told him that this patient’s appendix had to be something remarkable.

Chen Cang closed the medical record and said to Liu Jian, “Dr. Liu, please proceed with the anesthesia.”

Liu Jian was startled, “No issues?”

Chen Cang was also taken aback, “What issues?”

Liu Jian: “Is this just a case of ordinary appendicitis?”

Chen Cang nodded: “Yeah…”

Liu Jian rolled his eyes and swallowed his words: Then why did you take so long to read it, you had me thinking it was some serious illness!
