Chapter 1163: 【1163】Perfect Perspective

Reverse approach means starting from the gallbladder fundus, rather than the usual path through the gallbladder neck.

The Mirror Assistant once again proved to be in a critical position. To illuminate the proper excision path from the fundus for the Chief Surgeon, the laparoscope in hand had to rotate 90 degrees, and the mental imagery in the brain also needed to flip 90 degrees. That’s why doctors who excel in spatial geometry are best equipped to mentally rotate anatomical visuals during surgery to locate critical anatomical landmarks without losing their way.

The observing doctors redirected their focused attention to the monitor displaying the Mirror Assistant’s work.

The screen flipped—quickly. In what seemed to be just one second, it froze on the exact view the Chief Surgeon needed.

On the monitor, the patient’s gallbladder fundus was vividly clear, even describable as a perfectly overturned view.

The observing leaders: Whew～

With clear illumination, the two Chief Surgeons prepared to begin their work under a clarified view. The Separation Clamp closely adhered to the gallbladder wall and restarted blunt dissection. This time, they must separate the critical gallbladder triangle and clamp the cystic artery. If this doesn’t work, the laparoscopic procedure might fail and need to convert to open surgery.

Everyone held their breath.

Careful, more careful; at this moment, even the instruments Tan Kelin held to assist Tao Zhijie had to slow down to an almost sluggish pace. The patient had compromised cardiac function; if the gallbladder traction accidentally triggered a cholecysto-cardiac reflex, the consequences could be devastating and irreversible.

The leaders at the door fixed their sharp gazes on the patient’s electrocardiogram displayed on the heart monitoring equipment.

Good, the ECG showed no abnormalities; keep going, keep going, don’t stop, push through in one go. Director Tang and Shen Jinghui clenched their fists in anticipation. With a snap, the final move with the clamp arrived at its destination safely. All the doctors felt like they could wipe their sweat now.

"The cystic duct is a bit long; it’ll need cautious handling first," Director Tang remarked.

"You don’t need to say it, they already know," Shen Jinghui replied to him. At this moment, it was best to stay silent and avoid disrupting the surgical team’s focus.

In fact, reviewing the procedure up to this point, the two Chief Surgeons maintained consistent technical performance without faltering. The Mirror Assistant, however, delivered an unexpectedly impressive display. Look at Zhang Huayao, not uttering a word—enough to indicate that the current surgical team is performing exceptionally well.

Director Tang nodded lightly, feeling reassured enough to leave the operating room this time.

Without his presence, there would likely be less pressure, allowing the doctors below to perform even better.

Shen Jinghui shared the same sentiment. The two departed the operating room door together, leaving Gao Zhaocheng alone to remain on standby. Now, it was just him left. Standing idly at the door wasn’t appropriate, so Gao Zhaocheng entered the operating room.

The operation proceeded relatively smoothly. Zhang Huayao placed his fingers under his chin, pinching and pinching again.

Just glancing at his side profile, Gao Zhaocheng could guess that internally, Zhang Huayao was undoubtedly amazed by the team’s performance in today’s surgery—it exceeded everyone’s expectations.

It wasn’t surprising; he and others initially worried that Tao Zhijie and Tan Kelin wouldn’t work well together. Unexpectedly, this peculiar team combination magically ended up meshing perfectly.

After two and a half hours, the critical excisions were complete. The two Chief Surgeons swiftly moved into the final surgical phase, reconstructing the patient’s digestive tract.

No emergency medication was used during the procedure, nor was a blood transfusion necessary. Zhang Tinghai relaxed slightly and began removing the prepared ephedrine, among other medications, from the IV stand, declaring them to be wasted and ready for disposal.
