"OK, now the kidney and liver have been transplanted back into the abdominal cavity. Next is the mont to witness a miracle."
Having gotten used to being a host, Liu Banxia started to ad-lib as well.
"Since you’re so enthusiastic, you can release these hemostatic clamps," Zhou Shuwen said.
"Uh... am I stealing the spotlight too much? Director, then I’ll get on it. Releasing the hemostatic clamps is also crucial, just like igniting a rocket launch," Liu Banxia said.
"Hurry up, I’m starving," Zhou Shuwen glared at him.
Liu Banxia didn’t dare delay any longer and started releasing the hemostatic clamps.
Slowly, the liver and kidney restored their blood flow and gradually turned a healthy color.
However, people held back their urge to applaud because there was still one last step: removing the extracorporeal circulation and completing heart resuscitation.
This was also very critical—it’s like weaving a basket, finishing touches are key. Many patients encounter issues during heart resuscitation.
Then it requires a series of ergency asures, like direct cardiac electrical shocks or manual cardiac massage.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
As the heart started beating, people in the observation room couldn’t hold back.
Zhou Shuwen let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you, everyone. Glad we didn’t disappoint. Liu Banxia, since you’re full of energy, the task of inserting the drainage tube and closing up the abdon is yours. Don’t say you weren’t part of the surgery."
"Alright, actually, I was thinking about outsourcing this task," Liu Banxia muttered.
Zhou Shuwen helplessly glared at him, really exhausted. He hoped Liu Banxia would quickly close up the abdon, get off the stage sooner, and have a good rest.
Even though he spoke casually, Liu Banxia didn’t waste any ti with his hands.
And for him, having held back for so long today, the task of closing up the abdon was sothing so familiar and quick for him.
Ding! Surgical task completed
Gained 300 experience points, 400 proficiency points in suturing skills, 100 proficiency points in bandaging skills, 500 proficiency points in liver surgery skills, 500 proficiency points in kidney surgery skills, 5 Glory Points
This task’s rating is perfect level, gaining 500 experience points, 600 proficiency points in suturing skills, 200 proficiency points in bandaging skills, 800 proficiency points in liver surgery skills, 800 proficiency points in kidney surgery skills, 10 Glory Points 8
Seeing the system prompt, Liu Banxia was stunned.
He didn’t do much today, so why did he get so many experience points and rewards? Could it be because he observed very carefully while others were operating?
But it shouldn’t be like this. In the past, observing surgery did grant rewards, but not this much. Getting 100 or 200 experience points was incredible, let alone a perfect rating this ti.
Hmm?
Maybe it’s because this surgery filled a lot of gaps in his dical knowledge. Understanding is one thing, but witnessing real operations that leave a strong impression is another.
This is like opening a door for himself. With the basics of autologous organ transplantation he learned today, he could slowly strengthen it in his dream space.
Although he hasn’t been the chief surgeon for organ transplants, if he mastered the skills of autologous organ transplantation, wouldn’t allogeneic organ transplants be much easier?
"What are you doing? Still waiting for us to applaud you?"
Seeing him raise his head slightly after finishing the closure, in a daze, Zhou Shuwen helplessly called out.
"Huh? No applause. It’s just that I was actually still thinking about so operations today. Uh... why hasn’t everyone left?" Liu Banxia snapped back and was sowhat tongue-tied.
Waiting in the operating room weren’t just the people from the ergency center, but even Wu Wenlin and Director Xue, who Zhou Shuwen invited to assist, were there as well.
"It seems today really wore you out. I haven’t done a closure in ages. Even when I was young, I couldn’t do it as fast as you," Director Xue said with a smile.
"As for him, don’t praise him too much. He’s just a showoff. Wang Lei, wake them up," Zhou Shuwen said.
"Got it," Wang Lei responded to the doctor.
Liu Banxia? He now felt a bit shy and sneaked to the back, hiding behind Shi Lei.
"Where are you hiding? Hurry up and arrange for food; we’re all starving," Zhou Shuwen said.
"Oh, I’m contacting Manager Zhou right away," Liu Banxia quickly responded, then glanced at the six juniors.
"What’s the hold-up? Shouldn’t you report this good news to the patient’s family? Go quickly, and then help set up the table in the cafeteria."
Yes, the lazy boss pushing the junior ones, but it’s also an additional reward for the six juniors. Such good news is what the patient’s family has been waiting for, bringing them joy as soon as they hear it.
The six juniors cheerfully went out, and Liu Banxia also started contacting Zhou Qiang while casually glancing at the surgery ti, nine hours and 32 minutes.
Not short, but not long either. For such a major surgery, along with the extensive inferior vena cava reconstruction, this ti was pretty good.
This is the result of a collaborative effort. If Zhou Shuwen had operated alone, it definitely would have taken even longer.
Even with his full assistance, the ti saved wouldn’t exceed half an hour.
He’s just one person, with so much work to do. These highly difficult surgeries aren’t ones that can simply be done quickly; so operations truly can’t be rushed.
When the patient wakes up, although the anesthesia lasted quite a while and hasn’t completely worn off, they can still perceive the surrounding situation.
That will suffice. The patient now needs to be moved to the ICU for two days in case of ergencies.
Such a major surgery will certainly co with complications.
That’s why careful care in the ICU is necessary. While it may cost the patient more, it truly offers great assurance during the post-operative phase.
"Don’t bother helping us clean up. Go join the director and the others," Wang Lei said.
"It’s okay, I’m just following along and chatting. The cafeteria has been arranged, and the director needs a little rest; otherwise, even eating would be difficult," Liu Banxia said.
"You’re really sothing. You’ve managed so many high-difficulty surgeries! If you were to switch jobs, you’d definitely end up as an anesthesiology director," Wang Lei joked.
"Don’t say that. It’s always nerve-wracking, fearing the patient’s indicators might suddenly drop," Wang Lei said with a bitter smile.
"But coming here was the right decision. There’s more opportunity to face challenges. Now, my confidence has grown, even though the work is more exhausting than before."
"Hahaha, that’s a must. Everyone, enjoy the al without holding back. Nine and a half hours, plus cleanup ti, makes it over ten hours before we can eat," Wang Lei said.
"We really need to have a good al. Are you paying out of your own pocket?" Wang Lei asked.
Liu Banxia nodded without hesitation, "It’s not appropriate to use public funds, and besides, I’m happy today. It didn’t cost much, and even though I’m just an intern, I’ve learned a lot."
"Many surgeries are one thing in theory. Witnessing expert operations is a different story. I dare say, next ti I’m tasked with an ergency kidney removal, I’ll be much quicker than before."
"I believe that. You’re quick at learning new things," Wang Lei nodded.
It’s a recognized fact. Otherwise, how could Liu Banxia have mastered so many surgical skills in such a short ti? It’s not just a matter of a good foundation; strong comprehension and learning abilities are also essential.
After tidying up the operating room, everyone changed clothes and happily headed over to the cafeteria.
Xu Yino and the other five weren’t joking around; they had set up the tables and chairs. It’s like a small celebration banquet, even though the timing isn’t quite right for lunch or dinner.
"Eh? Why are your chopsticks different from ours?" Director Xue asked curiously after everyone started eating.
"Don’t worry about them. It’s a little ga they play. To train their hands, they all use small chopsticks for als," Zhou Shuwen replied.
"This is just the beginning. They’re planning to order even smaller chopsticks. It’s not just them; almost all the surgeons at the ergency center are like this."
"That’s clever. Persisting in it could indeed enhance finger dexterity," Director Xue nodded.
"Don’t look at ; it was Liu Banxia who ca up with this. When there’s serious business, you can’t find him, but he’s involved in all these trivial matters," Zhou Shuwen said.
"It’s quite nice. It’s the only way to continuously improve one’s skills," Director Xue praised.
Liu Banxia dared not speak, and quietly ate.
Today was truly a lapse, or maybe it’s a habit from eating in the hospital; he naturally picked up the small chopsticks.
On ordinary days, this wouldn’t be an issue. Whether fooling around or training, it’s understandable. But today, with Director Xue present, it seed like he was showing off on purpose.
It was just a minor episode; everyone was genuinely famished.
But due to the ti they’ve spent using them, Liu Banxia and the others were very adept at handling the small chopsticks, not hindering their eating at all.
At this point, nobody was concerned about who was a leader or not. Everyone was eating as they should, replenishing themselves; after all, they worked hard all morning before finally sitting down for this al.
"Sigh... I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older; it’s been a long ti since I’ve been in surgery for so long. It’s really tiring," Director Xue remarked after eating for a while.
"In terms of energy, no one can match Liu Banxia, right? I heard that during his surgery marathons, his work hours were very long," Zhou Shuwen said.
"Director Xue, it’s a bit different now. At least during surgery breaks we could drink a bag of glucose and rest for half an hour," Liu Banxia said.
"As we age, we’ll be looking to you younger folks," Director Xue said reflectively.
"Soon enough, we’ll have to make way for them," Zhou Shuwen added.
"Should I order another dish for everyone? I feel a bit embarrassed," Liu Banxia said helplessly.
"Xu Yino and the others are even younger than you. Eventually, they’ll surpass you," Zhou Shuwen quipped.
Everyone laughed, enjoying a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant mood. That’s the greatest reward for a successful surgery.
