Chapter 521: I'm so envious that you have such a great teacher!
Li Huan hurried forward and said to Wang Qinghu, "Leader, what brings you to the hospital?"
Wang Qinghu suddenly turned around, looked at Li Huan, and was momentarily startled, "Li Huan? What are you doing in the hospital too?"
Li Huan sighed, "My mother has a pseudoaneurysm of the aorta and needs surgery, so I came."
Wang Qinghu was taken aback and suddenly asked, "Are you looking for Doctor Chen?"
Li Huan was also stunned, "The one I'm looking for is Chen... Chen Cang."
Wang Qinghu suddenly slapped his leg, "That's who I'm looking for too! By the way, where did Doctor Chen go?" Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Li Huan was somewhat puzzled, "Doctor Chen went to perform surgery... on my mother."
At this moment, Tao Zi hurried over, "Qinghu, Little Chen is in surgery, come to my office and sit for a while to wait for him!"
When Wang Qinghu heard this, he chuckled wryly, "Old Tao, I'm not in the mood right now. Let's just wait in the emergency department so we won't miss him when he comes and gets called away again!"
Tao Zi and Wang Qinghu were classmates and couldn't help but laugh, "That's true. Doctor Chen is very busy these days, and there are many people looking for him to perform surgeries."
Wang Qinghu nodded and sighed, "Yeah, well, I'll just wait here then. Go on with your work, Old Tao, and don't mind me!"
Tao Zi nodded, "Alright then, I won't keep you any longer. I'll look for you after I finish my work."
After speaking, the two got up and said goodbye.
Li Huan was no fool. Through the conversation between the leader and this director... he seemed to have discovered something unusual!
This... Is Doctor Chen hard to find?
Wang Qinghu looked at Li Huan, "Li Huan, you are really lucky to have found Doctor Chen upon your arrival."
Li Huan gave an awkward smile, "Leader, isn't... Doctor Chen quite young?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinghu burst into laughter, "What era are we in that we still judge people's abilities by their age?"
"The Director Tao just now is my childhood friend and classmate, and he personally recommended Doctor Chen to me—he's the head of the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Second Provincial Hospital!"
Listening to this, Li Huan's face turned red with embarrassment.
It was really somewhat embarrassing to be hesitant about a recommendation from Director Xia Gaofeng himself...
...
...
The surgery began, and after establishing left heart bypass, Chen Cang's eyes focused on the hematoma area, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The area wasn't large, the thickness average, and there was no rupture, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the surgery!
However, the only inconvenience was the location of the injury.
[Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta, LV60, rare monster.]
A pseudoaneurysm surgery can be very difficult or very easy, mostly because the location determines the extent of the difficulty.
Clearly, this surgery wasn't going to be very difficult!
Zhang Wenfu wasn't much of a talker, but his hands moved steadily, preparing with a clamp.
Chen Cang, undisturbed, began separating the vessels with utmost caution, careful not to damage the pulmonary artery, the vagus nerve, or the recurrent laryngeal nerve...
Separation was the prerequisite, and due to the special location, it necessitated meticulous operations by Chen Cang after separation.
And the whole process was very delicate, watched carefully by an attentive Ge Huai.
Xia Gaofeng watched Chen Cang's movements and couldn't help but lament. He had to admit, talent really made a significant difference.
Chen Cang longitudinally incised the hematoma and carefully assessed the range of injury.
[Inner layer of the vessel transected!]
[Middle layer of the tissue transected!]
...
Chen Cang carefully trimmed the damaged vessel wall, trying to preserve the surrounding intercostal vessels as much as possible.
As the hematoma was small, the repair did not cause significant damage or gaps.
The tear in the aortic wall was small, and Chen Cang could approximate it with little effort. Thus, there was no need for an artificial graft. A simple continuous suturing was feasible, ensuring intima to intima, media to media alignment...
...
Xia Gaofeng's eyes widened. He wanted to see how Chen Cang would handle and suture such an angled wound.
Ge Huai, observing his teacher intently studying, was moved by the sight. Indeed, one is never too old to learn, and he began to watch earnestly and learn as well.
This close observation truly taught Ge Huai many things!
As for Zhang Wenfu's admiration for Chen Cang, it went without saying. He hadn't expected that by joining such an emergency team, he'd get to know a leader like Chen Cang, and he couldn't help but feel happy and excited!
The surgery continued every minute and every second.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Chen Cang's repair work progressed methodically.
But… as Chen Cang looked at the damage on the blood vessel walls, his eyes suddenly lit up, struck by inspiration!
He turned to Wang Kai'an beside him and said, "Give me the microscope!"
Wang Kai'an was momentarily stunned. A microscope? For what?
A microscope in cardiothoracic surgery?
However, he didn't ask why and passed the microscope over to Chen Cang.
Chen Cang said, "Set it to four times magnification."
Wang Kai'an nodded.
Because of the damaged vessel, Chen Cang could clearly see the state of the vessel walls and the damage between his sutures, which excited him!
The repair work on the aorta had to take many factors into account; indeed, interrupted sutures caused less damage to the vessels than continuous suturing...
Before long, the suturing was complete!
Chen Cang felt that this time his suturing had improved from before, as if he had stumbled upon some clues to enhance vascular anastomosis ability.
He had a premonition that only when one had sufficient understanding of the blood vessels and a clearer recognition of their function, would the time come for advancement in vascular anastomosis techniques.
Although this operation was not particularly difficult, it had brought significant gains to Chen Cang!
Meanwhile, Xia Gaofeng's brows were tightly furrowed, his thoughts unknown.
The operation ended!
While washing his hands,
Chen Cang said to Xia Gaofeng, "Director Xia, you didn't have to come here in person, a phone call would have sufficed."
Xia Gaofeng smiled subtly, Could a phone call allow me to see today's procedure?
Of course not!
I came to learn, no, to exchange ideas!
However, Xia Gaofeng naturally couldn't say that. He glanced at Ge Huai beside him, took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Ge Huai heard that your vascular anastomosis is especially good and has always wanted to study it thoroughly. I said there was an operation happening, so we came to observe it.
To exchange learning experiences, as a teacher, I just hope my students learn as much as they can."
Ge Huai was taken aback, his eyes widening in disbelief!
When did I ever say that?
I haven't said a word, alright!
It was clearly you who criticized me, wasn't it?
Teacher, aren't you being too cunning?
He now understood perfectly why his teacher had dragged him here; it turned out to be a setup for him to take the blame and carry the burden!
It was you who wanted to observe Chen Cang's surgery and learn, but you were too embarrassed to admit it, worried that saying it out loud would be shameful, so you brought me along.
I'm just an excuse...
Thinking of this, Ge Huai finally understood everything, from beginning to end!
His heart was as clear as a mirror.
But… he couldn't express it.
And he felt wronged...
Meanwhile, Wang Kai'an and Zhang Wenfu looked at Ge Huai enviously, "Doctor Ge, really envy you for having such a great teacher!"
"Yeah! They bring you to see all the good surgeries!"
Ge Huai was about to cry, forced a smile that looked even uglier than crying!
"Yes, my teacher is really good to me…"
Xia Gaofeng laughed heartily, "Not at all, not at all, it's only right!"
