After flushing and examination were completed, the patient needed to be sutured.

Chen Cang picked up the suturing needle and carefully sutured layer by layer. When it came to suturing the skin, he suddenly thought of a question.

Could suturing affect the patient’s satisfaction with the surgery?

The main advantage of minimally invasive surgery is its minimally invasive nature. If I put more effort into it and make it noninvasive, wouldn’t it be even more popular?

With this thought, Chen Cang calmed down and began to closely observe the wound.

He suddenly realized that this kind of puncture suturing could be different from regular incision suturing.

If it were an abdominal surgery, the sturdiness of a wound would need to be considered to prevent it from bursting open.

If a patient had a few friends like old Chen around, wouldn’t that be a suffering?

Therefore, the focus of suturing should be on making sure the wound is secure and primarily on preventing infection,

but punctures are different. The possibility of these wounds bursting open is extremely low, and since the wounds are narrow and small with a limited contact area, the risk of infection is very low.

Given this, the focus should be placed on one aspect: aesthetics!

With this in mind, Chen Cang began to ponder.

Soon, Chen Cang thought of a suturing method that would be more conducive to recovery and concealment of wounds, aligned with his special effect in skin suturing: hiding scars. By using absorbable sutures, there would essentially be no scars at all!

Thinking of this, Chen Cang spoke to the nurse, “Use absorbable fine thread.”

Shi Na had already seen Chen Cang staring at the patient’s belly for quite a while.

What was so interesting about a belly?

When she heard Chen Cang asking for absorbable fine thread, she was immediately stunned, “Absorbable thread on the belly?”

Chen Cang nodded, “1 have a way to make it so the patient can’t find the wound at all!”

This statement baffled Shi Na!

Make it so the patient can’t find the wound!

Does that mean…

Out of sight, out of mind?

How is that possible!

Even though laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, can the holes created really be left unsutured?

Once sutured, there are bound to be scars.

Shi Na pursed her lips. Young people always liked to mess with weird things, full of wild fancies.

However, since the surgery was completed smoothly, Shi Na wasn’t worried. She left Chen Cang to his own devices.

Chen Cang began the suturing work, his hands deftly maneuvering the needle holder, and soon, a beautiful surgical knot was tied, and the thread end was cut.

Just as Shi Na came back to her senses, preparing to say that Chen Cang was being fanciful, she was suddenly dumbfounded!

Eh?

Where is the wound?

Why can’t 1 find it?

Shocked, Shi Na looked closely and finally noticed the faint outline of the surgical sutures.

Suddenly, she was at a loss for words!

This… How is this possible?

With this thought, Shi Na quickly bent down to look more carefully at the wound.

Finally, she saw the difference!

It was the method of apposition Chen Cang chose during suturing, along with the entry points of the stitches that cleverly blended with the skin’s texture.

This suturing style, angle, and choice of entry points were… too awesome, right?

Attractive as it was… But wasn’t that way too difficult?

He turned ordinary suturing into an advanced technique I couldn’t do…

Suddenly, Shi Na realized that this young man, Chen Cang, had only been exposed to surgery for possibly two years.

In two years, he had improved so much.

How old was he?

In her mind, she repeatedly recalled Chen Gang’s surgery just moments ago.

Proficient!

Smooth!

Confident!

These were the qualities of an outstanding surgeon.

Even Chen Bingsheng might not be at this level, right?

Although Shi Na had never personally performed a cholecystectomy, she had seen enough to know the procedure, even if she hadn’t seen a pig run, she had eaten pork before!

Every step Chen Cang took just now was smooth and unhindered, with almost no room for criticism.

The dissection of the Calot’s triangle, which Shi Na had been most worried about, seemed to have posed no difficulty for Chen Cang at all, as he completed it in one go.

What an impressive young man!

With that thought, Shi Na couldn’t help but express her admiration.

No wonder he had confidently claimed he could perform the surgery; he had everything under control.

At this thought, Shi Na’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Right!

If Chen Cang could successfully perform cholecystectomies, there would be no need for the patients to be transferred to another hospital.

There was no longer any need to sweet-talk the surgical department either.

With this realization, Shi Na also cheered up.

The fees for surgical patients are higher than those for regular patients. Just for the patient earlier, the surgical costs were estimated to be around ten thousand, with expensive items like titanium clips being quite valuable, not to mention that the surgery was laparoscopic.

The more the patients paid, the higher the medical fees, and as the team leader, Shi Na naturally earned more too!

For a moment, Shi Na looked at Chen Cang with a much friendlier gaze.

“Chen! Where did you learn to perform surgery like that? Did Chen Bingsheng teach you?”

Chen Cang smiled and brushed the question off: “Yeah, that’s right.”

Had Chen Bingsheng taught Chen Cang?

He had!

He told Chen Cang that cholecystectomy was difficult and prone to complications, so if you don’t understand it, don’t mess with it and watch more.

After hearing this, Shi Na smiled and said, “We have you to thank this time, otherwise, our emergency department would have been in trouble.”

Chen Cang smiled faintly: “You’re too kind, Dr. Shi. The emergency department is everyone’s responsibility, and 1 am just doing my part. After we return, all the patient records and such will need your supervision.”

Chen Cang was speaking the truth; naturally, he wouldn’t have time to write patient records every day from now on. And with Shi Na acting as the team leader for him and Wang Qian, how many fewer problems would arise with the records!

After all, for a resident doctor, it’s common to be fined for errors in patient records. Having a strict and conscientious attending physician is a lucky thing for everyone.

Shi Na nodded: “Of course, of course!”

“Keep working on your surgical skills, Chen. I think you really have a talent in this field. With time, you’ll really make something of yourself!”

The two exchanged compliments in a mutually beneficial agreement!

It was, in fact, a win-win situation.

Shi Na left with a smile: “I’m going to have Qin Yue and Wang Yong come down to assist you. I still have to be on duty.”

After saying this, Shi Na left.

Meanwhile, in the office, Qin Yue and Wang Yong had been gossiping for over an hour.

When Shi Na entered and saw the two of them slouched over the desk, she said, “What are you doing idling around? Hurry up and go help Chen out. There are six surgeries today; you should learn as much as you can.”

Qin Yue asked curiously, “Dr. Shi, can Chen Cang really perform cholecystectomies now?”

Even Wang Yong looked skeptical.

After all, it made them both look like fools if you knew everything.

Shi Na pondered and then gave a considered opinion: “Well, how should I put it? It should be better and more meticulous than what Chen Bingsheng does. 1 think you guys should learn from Chen.”

At this, both were taken aback.

Holy moly!

Chen Cang, you’ve been farming in secret while we weren’t looking, and now you’re fully equipped!

Qin Yue’s face showed utter disbelief and astonishment.

Chen Bingsheng’s skill level was there for all to see, definitely at a senior level with a solid surgical foundation, capable of performing both major and minor surgeries, and how old was Chen Cang?

And he did even better than Chen Bingsheng!

This is… This is… This has got to be a joke!

Thinking this, Qin Yue couldn’t help but laugh: “Dr. Shi, you’re too funny-”

Shi Na was puzzled: “Funny? What’s funny? Let me tell you, Qin, you’re a top student from Xiangya, indeed quite outstanding, but to be honest, Chen has already unconsciously taken a big step ahead of both of you!”

“And you, Wang, don’t begrudge Chen. 1’11 leave you with this, if you two can keep up with Chen Cang without falling behind, your future is limitless!”

That was a high appraisal for Chen Cang!

This left Qin Yue and Wang Yong exchanging looks..
