At eight in the morning, the conjoined twin sisters were sent into the Operating Room. The surgical bed was specially designed. They were not scared because of the surgery, but were very happy, humming songs all the way from the ward to the Operating Room until the Anesthesiologist’s sedative was pushed into their Blood Vessels, and they stopped humming.
Even Liang Fatty found it strange; most children are afraid of surgeries, so begin using sedatives from the ward to help them sleep, but this pair of sisters showed no fear and instead sang celebratory songs.
The live broadcast covers the entire surgery, showing the surgical field. The doctors only appear as a pair of hands in the visual fra, and the Anesthesiologist has even less opportunity to appear.
This left Liang Fatty quite disappointed. Knowing that this surgery was broadcast worldwide, he thought he might also have a chance to show so skills, unexpectedly, he wasn’t included.
Everyone was thodically preparing for the surgery. The high-definition caras had already been adjusted and were originally installed on the shadowless Surgical Light. Later, when the surgery begins, a dedicated doctor will go on stage to operate the surgical light, keeping it always aid at the surgical area to clearly showcase the surgery to the world.
At this mont, the demonstration room of the Operating Room was full of people. Morris, as a family mber, was also here. John Ansen, due to issues with surgical qualifications, had no chance to go on stage and couldn’t see much in the Operating Room, so he simply chose to sit in the demonstration room with Morris. The room used high-definition big screens to watch the live video, which was much clearer than watching the surgery in the Operating Room.
At this ti, not only in China but also worldwide, everyone was waiting for the live broadcast of this surgery. Initially, everyone thought Yang Ping was bravely speaking about the live broadcast, assuming he would certainly withdraw at the eleventh hour, because no doctor in the world dares to demonstrate surgery in front of global peers like this. Moreover, many are not ordinary audiences but are specifically here to pick faults, and no surgery is perfect without potential criticisms.
Yet Yang Ping did not temporarily cancel the live broadcast, but truly intended to stream the surgery, which surprised the scholars and dia seeking controversy, making them ready to see what this surgery would eventually achieve.

The United States’s Robert and his colleagues had long been seated in the eting Room. They stopped surgeries for a day just to watch this live broadcast. Even though they are not Neurosurgeons, this surgery involves many Orthopedic aspects, including the separation and fixation of the cervical spine, the correction of spinal deformities, all high-difficulty Orthopedic surgeries.
"Robert, your ntor is really bold, daring to face public opinion with a live surgery. If it were , I would’ve given up on the surgery long ago. Professor Yang should have no problem with this surgery, right? I’ve heard that the entire United States’s top Neurosurgeons assembled a team, discussed multiple tis, and unanimously deed this surgery as having no chance of success, absolutely impossible."
Rongge from Joint Surgery said nearby.
Robert looked quite proud: "Otherwise, how could he be my ntor? Frankly, there is no surgery in this world that Professor Yang cannot handle. The United States’s top Neurosurgeons are now sitting in Professor Yang’s demonstration room observing and learning from the surgery. Watch closely later, maybe those ordinary surgeries usually cannot exhibit Professor Yang’s real level, but this surgery will open the eyes of those doctors causing a fuss, showing what truly advanced surgery is. I bet, starting tomorrow, many Surgeons will lack confidence in operating, their hands holding the Surgical Knife will tremble, seriously doubting their surgical abilities."
"Robert, is your ntor the Chief Surgeon today?" another person asked Robert, as they were not clear about Robert’s situation.
Although the fact that Robert has a Chinese ntor has spread throughout the entire hospital, many still do not know the details.
Robert nodded: "Of course, who else would dare to do this kind of surgery apart from him? Who else can do it? Who else dares to live stream a surgery to the world’s doctors? Only he – my ntor, Professor Yang."
The surgery had not yet begun, and everyone in the eting Room was chatting. The whole New York Special Surgery Hospital wasn’t conducting elective surgeries today; except for the Ergency Departnt and Doctors on duty in various departnts, everyone was here waiting for the surgery to start because Robert had long promoted in the hospital that this would be a surgery shocking the world.
There were rumors outside that this surgery would definitely fail, being a gamble with the patient’s life, an experintal surgery. Then a group of top scholars promptly ca out to tell everyone that the rumors were nonsense, completely prejudiced lies. Everyone wanted to see what the truth was like.
But this hospital is Yang Ping’s stronghold in the United States, united with several other hospitals, enough to combat these rumors back and forth.
Europe’s Charité Hospital was equally bustling, opposing those rumors as the European stronghold, with Professor Mainshtan and August being the two generals of this stronghold.
If it weren’t for the European and US strongholds steadfastly resisting the torrent of rumors, the sound of condemnation outside would still be louder and one-sided. Now it’s different; now it’s two big camps evenly matched, mutually balanced.
"Today’s surgery finally begins, I’ve been waiting for this day. As soon as Professor Yang stands on the stage, his persuasive power surpasses our thousands of words, and those amateurs will tuck their tails between their legs, or else I will step on their tails." Professor Mainshtan sat in the front row, beside him was August, and then a row of Departnt Directors from Charité Hospital lined up, with the finest German dical team almost all here.
"Yes, they counted on Professor Yang not daring to live stream the surgery, but they completely misunderstood Professor Yang. He is not an ordinary person, he’s a genius. What is a high mountain to them is rely a small step to Professor Yang." Professor August agreed, turning to tell the Doctors behind: "Orthopedics Doctors should open their eyes wide and see clearly, this surgery will stage the world’s top spinal corrective surgery. Each step must be seen clearly, go back and study it in detail with video breakdown, and thoroughly research it."
The Doctors behind also sat upright, quietly listening to the conversation of the big shots in the front row, waiting for the start of this surgery. What kind of surgery made Doctors worldwide debate against each other? And what kind of surgery made Professor Mainshtan fly worldwide to participate in TV programs to confront opinion leaders? Now Professor Mainshtan sat here an hour early waiting for the surgery to start.
Mainshtan also turned around: "Moreover, Neurosurgeons, the most exciting part of the surgery will be the separation of the head from the cervical spine, which will be more thrilling and exciting than any brainstem Tumor Excision. You must watch carefully how Professor Yang performs the basic surgical operations, and then how he navigates effortlessly between the nerve nuclei."
Actually, there’s also Cardiac Surgery, Hepatobiliary Surgery, Gastrointestinal Surgery, etc. This surgery almost covers every Surgical specialty.
And at the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Tokyo, they were not falling behind either. Under Takahashi’s lead, almost the entire hospital’s Surgeons were sitting here waiting for this unique learning opportunity. Previously, when Yang Ping perford surgery here, he left them a deep impression, now they could once more witness the master’s style, and these Doctors were very excited.
Although feeling excited inside, the serious Japanese did not show much on their faces; everyone appeared serious and attentive.

The surgery was proceeding thodically. Everyone was already accustod to Professor Yang’s calmness, so they were not overly excited because of the live surgery broadcast, just treating it as an ordinary surgery, working as usual.
After Anesthesia was administered, Song Zimo, along with young Doctors, fixed the heads of the twin sisters, starting with the prone position for the separation of the head and cervical spine, then switching to the supine position. This surgery was uniquely designed beforehand, with no precedent to refer to; even the head fixation device was custom-designed pre-surgery.
When working together, Yang Ping was very strict with them, so over ti, each person had beco battle-hardened veterans. They cooperated seamlessly, quickly setting the positions.
Disinfection and draping were completed swiftly.
