When the Doctor Uses A Hack
Chapter 1119 - 1121: Come Visit Often!

The surgery finally ended!

But Director Yao Lekang and Director Zhang Xuan hadn't snapped back to reality yet.

At the level of a director, making further progress is very difficult.

To experience this kind of eye-opening feeling again, one must go back to when they were a greenhorn resident.

Yet, the intra-arterial delamination treatment for the false dissecting aneurysm of the abdominal aorta performed by Chen Cang today really did give them that feeling!

We learned!

We really learned.

Zhang Xuan now doesn't regret at all that he joined Chen Cang's team for the surgery, he even feels it was the most correct decision he made in 2020.

And he even feels somewhat fortunate!

At this moment, as the surgical field finally stopped bleeding, Chen Cang glanced at the two assistants who were still dazed and couldn't help but sigh.

He could only rinse and suction by himself.

On the other side, Xiao Zhehai's surgery also ended successfully.

"Evacuate the air!"

...

After all preparations were completed, they released the hemostatic clamp, and blood flowed again.

In that moment, the surgery finally concluded!

Xiao Zhehai and Chen Cang exchanged a look, nodding at each other.

Finally, after looking at the clock, the surgery had only taken 35 minutes!

Honestly, Xiao Zhehai had been pushed to go so fast only because Chen Cang's speed had surpassed his, prompting the competitive Xiao Zhehai to accelerate his surgical pace.

Hence, both surgeries were completed at the same time.

However, Xiao Zhehai was well aware that the difficulty of Chen Cang's surgery was no less than his own; even though an abdominal aortic replacement surgery is quite difficult, Chen Cang had to meticulously handle the intimal layer inside the blood vessel.

It could be said that the two were evenly matched!

After the successful completion of the surgeries, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

However, those who followed Xiao Zhehai in the surgery all had faces filled with surprise, because today they had followed Director Xiao in a brilliant, textbook abdominal aortic replacement surgery!

They turned to look at Yao Lekang and Zhang Xuan, only to see them somewhat befuddled.

That's right!

At this moment, Zhang Xuan really was somewhat befuddled, and Yao Lekang wasn't faring much better.

They were both silently reflecting on the details of the surgery they just observed.

The gain was too great.

The three directors couldn't help but feel emotional.

Alas!

Director Yao really is a director, so responsible.

It's just a pity for Director Zhang!

Oh well, worst comes to worst, they'd just invite him for dinner tonight, with the cost definitely to be split among the three.

If this surgery was a test for the doctors, then for the anesthesiologists it was like a college entrance exam!

Maintaining the patient's vital signs was very difficult.

The patient already had heart disease, not only had they to avoid a sharp rise in blood pressure during aortic clamping but also be extremely careful to prevent blood pressure from plummeting when releasing the clamps.

10 minutes after the surgery, the patient's vital signs were completely normal, and everyone truly breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.

Yao Lekang wanted to take a deep breath to calm his nerves, but then... thinking there might be a lot of pale spirochetes in the room, he forcefully held his breath.

"What a spectacular surgery, thank you Director Xiao and Chairman Chen, today was truly an eye-opening experience!"

Xiao Zhehai smiled: "Director Yao is being too kind, but let's get the patient into intensive care quickly to keep him under close observation."

Yao Lekang nodded, went out to tidy up a bit, and then called the ICU director to arrange for a VIP intensive care room.

Postoperative monitoring of vital signs should be closely observed, maintaining good cardiac function and proper circulating blood volume. Moreover, it's necessary to monitor the condition of blood flow in the lower extremities, to timely detect the formation of intravascular thrombosis or embolization caused by the dissection segment, endothelial fragments, or blood clots in the arteries of the lower limbs.

Therefore, the entire surgery is not yet over, and it will take another week to wait until the patient truly stabilizes.

At this moment, Yao Lekang still had a question that he wasn't quite clear about and couldn't figure out no matter how much he thought about it, not until after the patient was transferred away.

He hurried back and asked Chen Cang, "This... President Chen, there's something I don't understand. When you were dealing with the aorta just now, why did you separate an extra 2 cm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered the extra 2 cm of the freed vessel from earlier.

He thought it was just a habit of Chen Cang's, but seeing Yao Lekang asking like this, he couldn't help but express his admiration!

Otherwise, how would he be the director!

His observation of details is truly impeccable.

Xiao Zhehai, who was washing his hands, was also replaying the surgical scene performed by Chen Cang in his mind.

Chen Cang couldn't help but laugh as he said, "The nerve plexus in that area is quite special. Once the preaortic nerve plexus is damaged... it can easily cause dysfunction in a man's reproductive capabilities."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan suddenly understood, quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, and eagerly took out a notebook to jot it down.

Yao Lekang, having his realization, nodded in understanding.

In fact...

It wasn't just this question – he had many more he wanted to ask.

But after thinking it over, he realized he didn't know how to ask about a lot of the procedures.

The patient's imaging data was encrypted and it was not appropriate for him to copy it, although as a participant in the surgery, it wouldn't matter if they saw it.

Still, one should have principles in conduct.

Yao Lekang, being a director, naturally should set an example.

The video of the surgery was quickly saved and encrypted.

Chen Cang should not stay longer, so he prepared to leave.

Yao Lekang hurriedly called out, "This... President Chen, could you leave your contact information? We could strengthen our ties in the future!"

After saying this, Yao Lekang suddenly worried, unsure if Chen Cang would ignore him and turn to leave.

If that happened... wouldn't it be awkward?

Even Zhang Xuan was staring wide-eyed at Director Yao.

Director Yao, how could you be so obsequious?

He had just criticized you earlier!

This is our territory, just a word from you and...

Zhang Xuan already took out his mobile phone: "President Chen, yes, yes, yes, here's my WeChat. Please add me, let's keep in touch more often!"

Chen Cang smiled and said, "Sure, we'll keep in touch."

Seeing Chen Cang leave his contact information, Yao Lekang and Zhang Xuan both put their phones away, satisfied.

Xiao Zhehai walked out together with Chen Cang, "This, Chen Cang, I'll go with you to the Capital Emergency Center."

After saying that, Xiao Zhehai smiled at Yao Lekang and the others, "Director Xiao, I'll be taking my leave now. I'll come back over the weekend."

Yao Lekang had interacted with Xiao Zhehai several times before, since Xiao frequently visited Peking University Affiliated Hospital during Yang Pei's time and had become a regular visitor.

Yao Lekang even regarded him as a mentor.

"Alright, Director Xiao, please be safe."

As for the matter of payment, the two didn't say much, as there were many mouths around and it was inappropriate to discuss it freely.

Xiao Zhehai was interested in following Chen Cang out, his curiosity was like an itch he couldn't scratch.

He wanted to know exactly how Chen Cang performed the surgery.

But asking wouldn't reveal much.

He would just have to wait for another opportunity to observe closely.

Medical knowledge, you see, must be learned from each other for mutual progress!

After all, the power of one person is ultimately limited.
