"Okay."
Li Jingsheng decisively stepped up to take on the task.
Opportunities for practical training like this are extrely rare, offering trendous benefits for improving dical skills, gaining surgical experience, and honing courage and character.
Dr. Qin and Ruan Xiaoqin, the two ’mighty guards,’ could only watch enviously.
Surgical procedures require genuine skills. Even the best flattery is useless without those abilities.
In Chinese dicine, not knowing the twelve ridians ans you’re wrong from the start.
In Western surgical dicine, lacking skill ans fatalities are inevitable.
This might sound exaggerated, but without the technical expertise, botching the surgery is assured.
No senior doctor’s mind would be so clouded as to let an inexperienced young doctor wield a scalpel on a patient.
A tenosynovial cyst is not among common ailnts.
It is typically found on the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, or capitate bones, especially at the diaphysis of long bones.
This female patient had the cyst on the palmar side, which is quite unusual.
Under normal circumstances, tenosynovial cysts inside wrist bones typically appear on the dorsal side of the hand.
The anatomical structure of the dorsal ligants of the wrist is not complex, and the wrist bones are superficially located, so the dorsal approach is the preferred choice. The location of this patient’s cyst was unusual, leading Professor Wu to opt for a palmar approach.
At this mont, the joint capsule on the palmar side was exposed after the nerves and tendons were retracted.
Locating the scapholunate space, and then incising the joint capsule there, revealed the cyst within the scapholunate joint.
The cyst was not large, and its wall seed very thin.
Now, what Li Jingsheng had to do was to remove the cyst completely.
Though a technical task, to Li Jingsheng, it wasn’t very difficult. Proficiency in dissection technique was more than sufficient.
Perhaps Professor Wu, frustrated from the previous surgery, developed a psychological shadow, fearing embarrassnt before his peers again, and thus handed this task over to Li Jingsheng.
Without much effort, Li Jingsheng successfully extracted the cyst.
Complete and intact.
Sharp dissection technique proficiency 1, life points 101.
Wow, he actually received a reward of 100 life points.
This might have been the easiest 100 life points he ever earned.
It likely related to him removing an intra-articular cyst for the first ti.
Earning so many life points at once, he felt delighted. Previously having only 59 life points, he suddenly reached 160.
"Wow, so it was just so clear jelly-like substance inside!"
An intern exclaid in surprise, curiously examining the cyst placed in the tray.
"It’s not your first ti doing such a surgery. Stop acting like you’ve never seen the world; it’s laughable,"
Professor Wu glared at him disapprovingly.
The intern fell silent out of fear.
"Dr. Li, well done. For the next surgical steps, just observe and learn from the side!"
After taking over, Professor Wu grabbed a microdrill and surprisingly began to polish the cyst wall. Only after exposing the fresh cancellous bone did he start to fill it with graft bone.
This was Li Jingsheng’s first ti witnessing bone grafting.
It was much simpler than he had imagined.
The entire procedure was not complicated.
He ntally noted the key operational points of each step. However, such mory generally doesn’t last long and is soon forgotten or confused.
Truly deep mories for doctors must co from hands-on practice.
The basic teaching process in large hospitals is to have novice doctors observe and learn initially. After watching a few tis, senior doctors give them so simple tasks to practice. Then gradually increase the difficulty of tasks until they have learned the entire surgical process and technical points.
"Alright, Dr. Ruan, you can repair the cut ligants and joint capsule now!"
After completing the high-risk steps of the surgery, Professor Wu handed the cleanup work to his subordinate doctors.
"No problem."
Ruan Xiaoqin had been waiting for this.
Imdiately taking over the finishing work.
Dr. Qin watched eagerly from the side. As the number three figure in the second group, soon to be promoted to attending, he couldn’t be on standby for both surgeries tonight, right?
He needed to gain so tangible benefits!
"Professor Wu, can I do the suturing?"
Seeing Li Jingsheng already performing impressively, Dr. Qin was truly anxious.
"Sure!"
Professor Wu was eager to nurture his only two capable lieutenants.
Successfully securing a suturing task, Dr. Qin was overjoyed.
Eagerly waiting to show off.
Ruan Xiaoqin had already started repairing the patient’s cut ligants.
Initially thought to be a sycophant with no real skill, it turned out Ruan Xiaoqin’s suturing skills while repairing the ligants were quite comndable. He used the continuous suture technique.
This thod has many advantages, such as perfecting wound closure and providing hemostatic effect.
It allows for faster suturing, saving suture material and ti, with fewer knots.
anwhile, it reduces foreign body irritation.
It is commonly used for internal sutures.
Ruan Xiaoqin’s movents appeared adept, and the suturing process was quite smooth, with neat stitches and tightly aligned ligants.
This already achieved Master Level.
Really shouldn’t underestimate anybody.
In the previous surgery, Professor Wu had comnted on Ruan Xiaoqin’s suturing being a weak point, but now it seed, how could it be weak?
It was clearly quite strong!
However, since there are multiple suturing techniques, it’s possible that Ruan Xiaoqin just excels in continuous suture. His skills might be poor in interrupted suture and other advanced techniques, which is a possibility too.
After suturing the ligant, tying a knot to secure it was enough.
At this mont, Ruan Xiaoqin was awkwardly maneuvering the tweezers, seemingly biting his cheek. You could see it puffed up, even through the mask.
