Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 1043: Perfect

Chapter 1043: Perfect

The separation of the Porta Hepatis, this segment of cutting blood vessels, combined with the simple obstruction of the inferior vena cava, could potentially trigger an explosion in the small vessel minefield as many had exclaimed before.

Everyone was so tense it felt as if their hearts were being gripped, each of them staring unblinkingly at the surgical monitor.

Soon, the most concerning issue of blood loss saw a conclusion.

Very little, in total, according to the estimation of the experienced surgeons present, no more than twenty or thirty milliliters I’d say.

How did they accomplish that!

"I don’t understand anymore." A knowledgeable insider rubbed his forehead.

"They haven’t performed a shunt, how did they manage such little blood loss?"

"If it’s not a shunt, they must have done something else, otherwise it’s impossible to explain their detailed use of TEE monitoring."

"This operation must be flawless, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to perfectly control bleeding during the surgery."

Doctors repeatedly used the term ’perfect’ in admiration. Their peers around them nodded in agreement.

Perfect, it truly was perfect. Because they all couldn’t think of how it was done.

As for how it was done, everyone had no choice but to fixate on the surgical monitor every second.

Finally, when the surgery reached a certain stage, the laparoscopic monitor shifted scenes, moving from the tumor area back to some other crucial spots that had not been shown live before.

There it was, the image of several blood vessels being ligated with loops.

People in the audience were dumbstruck, having not expected what Xiao Song had said; that there truly existed a remarkable person capable of visualizing the human vascular system in macroscopic three dimensions.

To put it simply, an obstructed human vascular system could be likened to a paralyzed urban traffic system, the approach taken being one of clearing it, a plan that requires comprehensive and integrated calculation. Identifying where to obstruct and effectively divert traffic elsewhere to prevent congestion and explosion is an advanced science.

For such a traffic system, the research project would involve using supercomputers for modeling and calculation. Ordinary minds better not dream of being able to crunch those numbers.

The richness and complexity of the human vascular system far exceed those of a major city’s traffic system, and moreover, it’s in three dimensions, not two.

Nowadays, there are 3D software programs that can aid doctors in calculations, but the doctor must first create the model. Who among doctors could quickly establish an intraoperative vascular model of a patient under such short notice?

The one who could must possess a brain like a 3D supercomputer, going a step beyond the ordinary computer brain Zhang Tinghai had in mind. Being a surgeon, he was even more aware than Zhang Tinghai, the anesthesiologist, of the complexity involved in this algorithm.

"To figure that out just based on TEE monitoring values?"

"I can’t imagine how."

One doctor after another declared surrender.

"And they didn’t need to perform a shunt, just directly ligating several vessels was sufficient."

This final solution was like the best answer to a difficult genius math problem.

"Was it calculated by Dr. Tao?"

"Dr. Tao was cutting the tumor before."

No one dared to pretend anymore; the maneuver clearly had nothing to do with Tao Zhijie.

"Who was the Mirror Assistant?"

"Dr. Xie?"

Hearing outsiders ask about Dr. Xie, people from Guoxie became wary.

"Yay!" Snap, Teacher Lu slapped his thigh excitedly.

"Teacher?" Yu Xuexian asked softly.

Cao Yong said with a light smile, "Teacher is happy."

As the most knowledgeable about the teacher among his rebellious students, his guess was spot on.

Teacher Lu was happy, chuckling twice and touching the corner of his eye, then asked, "Cao Yong, is it possible to do surgery like this now?"
