August 10th! Monday, the start of the week.
However, Lu Cheng took leave and rode his scooter to the 'dormitory' where Chen Song and Tong Yuan'an were!
Tong Yuan'an gave Lu Cheng his room number, so Lu Cheng took the elevator straight up and knocked on the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Cheng noticed that the Training Room in Tong Yuan'an's ho was professionally equipped, far surpassing his own Training Room.
A standard surgical table a ter long and two ters wide, a microscopic lens, a complete set of brand-new microsurgical instrunts, and various models of hand surgery practice sutures.
The value of these sutures alone is at least 8000 yuan, with each one priced at a dozen yuan per piece.
The sutures Lu Cheng usually buys for practice, the most expensive is only three yuan each, anything more would be too extravagant...
A small shadowless lamp, fresh pig trotters...
Lu Cheng eyed these treasures enviously, swallowing his saliva: "Teacher Tong... this is impressive..."
"These were purchased with funding for renovations, in order to conduct the project. Naturally, many basic things need to be well prepared, and eventually, these items can be taken away."
"You ca at just the right ti. I've already prepared pig tendons early this morning, they're all hind tendons, and I've bought the hand surgery professional asurent instrunts, they're arriving today, so we can start asuring..."
"Such surgical procedures must undergo preliminary animal experints to gather data, even if there's a dical dispute, we can silence the expert panel by proving that we've practiced diligently with objective data on record."
"If there are issues with the patient's sutures, it's a matter of objective risk, rather than our skills being inadequate or insufficient preparation beforehand."
Tong Yuan'an wore loose pajamas and had already set the air conditioner to the right temperature.
Seeing the sweat on Lu Cheng's face, he said: "Xiao Lu, you should freshen up a bit first. Practice with specins should be treated as serious surgery. Preparing physically is also very important."
"Alright, Teacher Tong, I'll wash my face." Although Lu Cheng rode over, August felt as though it were going crazy, with heat waves crashing.
Lu Cheng wasn't overweight, but he was still drenched in sweat.
After cooling down for twenty minutes, Tong Yuan'an and Lu Cheng had two cups of coffee, and with their physical and ntal energy ready at their peak, their condition reached its best.
They walked from the living room toward the operating room again.
Tong Yuan'an said: "The Tajima Suturing Technique you've learned is the control group, but you also need to perform seriously. This technique is used for our patients."
"A doctor's skill in clinical practice knows no nationality, so you can't overdo it, the more skilled the better..."
"Even if our project fails, the patients are still getting benefits. Understood?"
After listening, Lu Cheng nodded slightly and looked at his own 'Skill Point balance: 42 points'.
Due to the increased number of surgeries, Lu Cheng now accumulated Skill Points daily at an average rate of six points over the past week.
This is roughly his weekly Skill Point accumulation.
[Unnad Suturing Technique (skilled 10/10)]
Lu Cheng suddenly had a thought, and it quickly transford into [Unnad Suturing Technique (Specialization 10/20) (Skill Points -30), has reached the basic skill cap in Suturing Skill, cannot be increased further.]
[Skill Point balance: 12.3!]
Lu Cheng proceeded to allocate points bit by bit!
Half a minute later!
[Suturing Skills: Suturing Skill (Specialization 14/20) (Skill Points -3), Tendon Suturing Skill (Specialization 13/20) (Skill Points -5), Modified Kessler Suturing thod (skilled 10/10), Tsuge Suturing Skill (including sliding type) (skilled 10/10), Modified Tang thod (Specialization 3/20), Unnad Tendon Suturing Technique (Specialization 14/20) (Skill Points -4)]
Yes, this was the limit Lu Cheng could reach.
"Are you ready?" Tong Yuan'an asked Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng nodded: "Ready, Teacher Tong."
"Then start suturing... Once you're done, I'll use our hospital's new suturing technique, and then we'll asure and compare the tensile strength of these tendons." Tong Yuan'an gestured with his plump hand, signaling Lu Cheng to start.
Lu Cheng nodded.
Since this was not an official operating room, just wearing sterile gloves was enough for operations, there was no need to wear a sterile surgical gown.
Lu Cheng's suturing technique was visibly at a very skilled level, aligning with Tong Yuan'an's expectations for Lu Cheng's learning speed.
So after watching for a few monts, he stepped out.
Suturing is a very private task, since it wasn't surgery, no assistant was needed, allowing Lu Cheng to concentrate more.
Lu Cheng roughly finished suturing five pig trotters, then swapped places with Tong Yuan'an, he stayed in the living room responsible for tea-drinking, while Tong Yuan'an remained in the operating room focused on 'new technique' suturing.
After approximately forty minutes, Tong Yuan'an ca out from the "operating room" door holding tweezers: "Xiao Lu, I'm done. You might be curious about how to evaluate core biochanics, right?"
"Co in, let's study together."
In Tong Yuan'an's eyes, Lu Cheng's talent was already that of a professional hand surgeon. If it weren't for the project task, he would have taught Lu Cheng other hand surgery techniques a long ti ago.
Of course, Lu Cheng's talent is going to be of great use and must be utilized imdiately.
Lu Cheng entered.
Tong Yuan'an explained: "The core biochanical indicators of hand surgery suturing techniques lie in tensile strength, end gap control, and gliding resistance."
"Generally speaking, for current tendon suturing techniques, post-operative imdiate tensile strength should be ≥35N, end gap should be ≤0.5mm under 0.5N load, and vinculum friction force should be ≤1.5N, allowing it to be showcased."
"Going into live subjects testing."
"Look here, these are the five pig tendon sutures I did, and the tensile strength limit has exceeded 90N..."
"The Modified Kessler's tensile strength is approximately 40-55N, Tsuge Suturing Technique is between 65-85N, while Modified Tang thod is 90-110N."
"The Modified Tang thod's fracture tensile strength is 150.25±10.50 N, while Modified Tsuge Suturing Technique is 125.3±11.5 N."
"Our team's fracture tensile strength is!" Tong Yuan'an directly broke the tendon suture...
"With calculations like this, tendon resilience is 14N/mm, higher than the Modified Tang thod..."
"Let's continue asuring, then calculate the average results."
Tong Yuan'an explained professionally and ticulously to Lu Cheng, finally entering the data into the statistical table he prepared, deriving a comprehensive conclusion:
[2mm Gap Tensile Strength: Tong thod: 108.40±7.52N; Modified Tang thod: 100.30±8.20 N; Modified Tsuge thod: 52.6±7.4 N]
[Fracture Tensile Strength: Tong thod: 166.31±11.50 N; Modified Tang thod: 150.25±10.50 N; Modified Tsuge thod: 125.3±11.5 N]
[Tendon Resilience: Tong thod: 14.21±1.34N/mm; Modified Tang thod: 12.55±1.25 N/mm; Modified Tsuge thod: 8.3±1.8 N/mm]
"How about it, your teacher Tong still has so skills, right?" After reading the table, Tong Yuan'an asked Lu Cheng with a kind and gentle expression.
Lu Cheng nodded: "Yes."
"Alright, next we'll assess yours."
"2mm Gap Tensile Strength: 100, 110, 126, 119... hmm... 120N."
Tong Yuan'an glanced at Lu Cheng: "Fracture Tensile Strength: 160, 180, 195N..."
After looking at these two sets of data, Tong Yuan'an imdiately fell silent, his complexion dramatically changed, and his plump face seed contorted, filled with complex emotions.
