Chapter 1161: The visual effects are too dazzling [1161]

The next surgery had to proceed to the maximum extent of resection.

The slightly heavy breathing behind the masks of the two chief surgeons could be subtly heard.

No need to wait for the pathology results; in such obviously malignant cases, surgery must begin immediately. The patient is elderly with poor cardiac function; the surgery time needs to be shortened. All doctors thought the same without prior agreement.

The surgery continued.

Instruments were adjusted, with each chief surgeon holding an ultrasonic scalpel and a separation clamp.

Starting from the tumor area, the duodenum and pancreas parts need to be addressed first. Previously, during intraoperative exploration, the descending part of the duodenum was exposed; now, further separation, exploration, and resection must be performed. Thus, the duodenum and pancreatic head must be separated from the peritoneum.

The conventional surgical path begins with the peritoneum on the outside of the duodenum. At this moment, the memory of the mirror assistant was first tested, checking if the anatomical positioning was standard and timely. The instruments of the two chief surgeons followed the mirror assistant without hesitation.

It once again fully demonstrated that although the two chief surgeons might not get along with each other, they both harmonized well with this student.

Swish, swish, swish, with the two ultrasonic scalpels and the separation clamp used interchangeably and complementing each other, it was like a dextrous plow cutting through the field, making all the surgeons present wide-eyed with amazement.

The speed of the two chief surgeons was too fast. The usually slow-paced Tao Zhijie suddenly seemed to become impatient, driven by another impatient chief surgeon and the mirror assistant, with the speed of the operating instruments accelerating further and further.

This was a potential unleashed after being pushed to the edge.

A group of people noticed a hint of unprecedented competitiveness in the warm eyes of Tao Zhijie.

So even this calm Buddha can be stirred to urgency.

Due to the surgeons’ speed, the monitor displayed a very intertwined and complex scene. For those not seasoned in surgery, it would be difficult to discern what part was being cut.

Director Tang, being older and with less keen eyesight, feared he couldn’t keep up with the young doctors’ speed, so he turned his head and said to Shen Jinghui, "Your department’s Dr. Tan is fast; I forgot if he had a hand injury."

Shen Jinghui modestly commented on behalf of Tan Kelin, "It’s Dr. Tao and the mirror assistant who are good, giving him another angle for operation."

The young junior sister once again showcased her talent. Admiration could be seen in Gao Zhaocheng’s eyes.

The speed of the two chief surgeons reaching this level is surely thanks to Xie Wanying’s guidance.

This surgery was very large-scale, demonstrated not only by the wide range of resection but also by the well-known complex anatomical relationships in this area. The procedure must cut along the hepatic-gastric ligament and the hepatoduodenal ligament, reach the horizontal section of the duodenum, arrive at the root of the transverse mesocolon, delicately distinguishing the dispersed loose tissue behind the pancreas, and then flip it to the left.

Every step of separation must be precise, otherwise, each step could turn disastrous. Massive bleeding and cancer cell spread due to medical errors could all possibly occur. Only if the mirror assistant, like a guiding light, is positioned correctly, can the chief surgeon’s operations become meticulous and error-free.

Xie Wanying’s bright eyes, like another scalpel.

The duodenum and pancreatic head were fully mobilized from the retroperitoneum. The surgeons quickly checked surrounding tissues for any cancer cell infiltration.

The inferior vena cava, superior mesenteric artery, celiac artery, hepatic artery, and other important blood vessels were all scrutinized.

The rapid flow of images on the monitor represented the mirror assistant’s super speed, making the observing doctors feel as if they were on a roller coaster, with the rising, falling, flipping, and pausing scenes too dazzling.
