Chapter 1385: Chapter 1385: Liu Banxia’s Thorough Understanding of Surgery

Liu Yiqing’s operation is somewhat slow, but very steady.

This also demonstrates her basic skills. Even though it’s just early-stage detachment now, being able to reach this level is quite impressive.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, it’s about a one-centimeter, clearly defined mass. I don’t think there’s any issue, it should be benign, and there’s no adhesion."

Finally able to see the tail of the pancreas clearly, Liu Yiqing shouted happily.

"Alright, then let’s do as you suggest, I’ll take over the operation from here," Liu Banxia said.

"Don’t forget, you still owe me a chicken leg tomorrow. Wang Chao is resting tomorrow, and I’ll be on duty at night, not sure if someone will contribute to dinner."

Wang Chao looked helpless and pressed the call button, "You know I’m watching above, how about adding a pig’s trotter? Hurry and perform, so many people are here playing with you."

"Hahaha, you’ve stepped up, I must step up too," Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"Next, as requested by Wang Chao, we need to speed up a bit. As first assistant, Su Wenhao, are you ready?"

"Teacher Liu, just don’t go too fast," Su Wenhao replied.

"Hey, don’t go too fast, so many people are waiting to watch," Wang Chao said helplessly again.

He had to speak up, this fellow might really ramp up the speed. But now everyone wants to see how this surgery is performed, detachment is a key procedure in the operation.

He doesn’t want to bear the responsibility for this, can’t handle it at all.

Everyone finds it quite interesting, this is also a feature of Liu Banxia’s surgeries, they don’t make you feel so dull.

Every chief surgeon has their own characteristics. Some simply get it done without much fuss. Swiftly performing the operation and then leaving.

Liu Banxia, on the other hand, creates a more relaxed atmosphere, in people’s perception, the surgery is over in the blink of an eye.

Actually, Liu Banxia is playing around with Wang Chao as well. Speaking of banter, in the entire emergency center, Wang Chao is the most on point.

Surgery involving the pancreas is major surgery, each one a rare teaching material. Not only Liu Banxia, even when Zhou Shuwen performs it, the teaching element is considered.

So even though Liu Banxia mentioned speeding up, he didn’t actually ramp up the speed and maintained his usual "slow pace".

Of course, this speed is slightly fast for many people, especially some interns and resident doctors. They have less experience with pancreatic surgery and are not well-versed in anatomical perspectives.

"An old recurring issue is our mastery of detachment technology. This is essentially an extension of anatomical knowledge, and you shouldn’t wait until right before surgery to study it," Liu Banxia spoke again.

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If today I suddenly have a whimsical idea and call someone else to perform, some might not have the confidence even when the opportunity is right in front of them."

"We surgeons rely on surgery skills for livelihood. No matter which hospital you work at in the future, there will be one or multiple opportunities to showcase your skills."

"If you have a solid understanding of anatomical knowledge, then even if you operate more slowly, it’s okay; others won’t notice."

"Why’s that? Because at that time, you’ll give others an impression similar to watching Su Wenhao perform surgery, very stable. What’s slow? It’s not an emergency hemostatic surgery, being precise is all that matters."

This struck a chord with everyone, although the words were a bit rough, the reasoning wasn’t.

As long as you don’t panic, seize the opportunity to showcase your skills. Operating slowly isn’t an issue, the key is to complete the surgery properly, and that’s true skill.

Liu Banxia continued chatting aimlessly.

Sometimes he rambled, just to adjust the atmosphere in the operating room. Sometimes he highlighted some key points in surgery, but not excessively.

Because he’s firmly convinced that if detachment skills aren’t up to par, the rest won’t be of much use even if discussed more.

There are so many blood vessels and other organs concentrated here, if your detachment skills are inadequate, you can’t handle this surgery.

"OK, Liu Yiqing, you’ve done enough today, the task of showing the specimen to the patient is yours," said Liu Banxia.

"Alright, anyway, I think this tumor is more likely benign," Liu Yiqing replied.

"Come, let’s take a look at the intestines now, adjust the lens carefully, viewing from top to bottom, from left to right," Liu Banxia continued.

"There’s nothing wrong, the color looks much better, and it doesn’t appear as thick as before. The effect of gastrointestinal decompression is evident, anyway, he’ll be fasting for two days, let’s proceed with conservative treatment."

"Su Wenhao, the closing task is up to you. So many people are watching, whether I’ll be enjoying delicacies or eating plain bread, depends on you."

"Teacher Liu, it doesn’t have much to do with me, but I can handle it well," Su Wenhao assured confidently.

"See that? What’s needed is this confidence," Liu Banxia affirmed.

However, some people are curious now, wondering why Su Wenhao hasn’t started operating yet but is continuously adjusting the camera angle to observe the condition within the abdominal cavity.

"What he’s doing now is the most important step before closing, he needs to check the blood supply condition of the spleen. Meanwhile, he checks whether other organs are impacted by the surgical procedure, including but not limited to twisting of detached vessels," Liu Banxia explained.

"Many people think that closing the abdomen is very simple: rinse, count the instruments and gauze, then close it up. It’s not that simple, hasty closure can easily lead to issues."

"So, handing over the abdominal closure to him, I feel quite at ease. I also hope everyone can pause and reflect before closing the abdomen, perhaps there might be some rewards."

At this time, Su Wenhao had completed his observation and formally began the abdominal closure procedure.

His style is very much like Shi Lei’s; if you compare them, his operation is even steadier than Shi Lei’s.

Because his mastery of the technique is not very proficient yet, it demonstrates Teacher Liu’s theory thoroughly.

Su Wenhao’s steadiness doesn’t give you a sense of awkwardness; rather, it’s reassuring.

Ping! Surgical task completed

Gain 300 experience points, 400 proficiency points in pancreatic surgery skills, Glory Points +50

This task was rated as perfect, gain 500 experience points, 500 proficiency points in pancreatic surgery skills, Glory Points 10 points +60 points, 1 Solidification Stone

Regarding this task reward, Liu Banxia is quite satisfied.

The desire to level up is not as strong as before; the reward given for such a large surgery has shrunk compared to before.

But the Glory Points are still satisfying, which is quite nice.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Upon seeing the successful awakening of the patient, everyone in the observation room spontaneously applauded.

This is Liu Banxia’s strength; even though he hasn’t performed pancreatic-related surgeries for a long time, he still did it so deftly.

Lately, Liu Banxia mainly focuses on NOSES surgery, and he’s not often at the emergency center; the patients scheduled for surgery are all colorectal cancer cases.

But through observing this surgery, no one thinks Liu Banxia’s mastery of surgery has any lack of substance.

"Alright, your issue is resolved. But this surgery is quite significant, so you’ll have to be sent to the ICU for a couple of days," Liu Banxia said to the patient.

"From my observation, the tumor on your pancreas has a very high probability of being benign. So just relax, you won’t feel nauseated or have stomach pain anymore."

The patient nodded slightly with difficulty.

For him, he hardly considered any postoperative risks. What he was concerned about was the nausea and abdominal pain that had tormented him for such a long time.

The task of sending out the patient was handed to Su Wenhao, and Liu Banxia helped tidy up the operating room before heading back to the emergency center.

"Teacher Liu, shall we go for a meal?" Liu Yiqing asked cheerfully.

"Sure, you must be eyeing my meal card. But once there, we have to wait a bit for the people from the operating room; they’ll be slightly delayed," Liu Banxia said.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu, I ordered extra dishes," Liu Yiqing said cheerfully.

"What happened? Did I hit you so hard in the operating room that you went mad?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"Nah, am I afraid of being hit? Learning under you, if my face wasn’t thick enough, I’d want to run into walls every day," Liu Yiqing said.

"Today I did so well in my resection, I’m happy. It’s been a while since I performed pancreatic surgery, so I decided to add extra dishes for everyone."

"Alright, then let’s not stand on ceremony; let’s go," Liu Banxia waved his hand.

Then he was stunned; he saw that Wang Chao had also changed his clothes, seemingly ready to go for a meal too.

"Why are you staring at me? I was so engrossed in watching your surgery that I forgot to eat lunch," Wang Chao said helplessly.

"Wow, even something like this?" Liu Banxia retorted.

"It’s been a long time since I watched a pancreatic surgery; I’ve nearly forgotten all I learned. This time was great, deeply memorable," Wang Chao said.

"But next time there’s a pancreatoduodenectomy, think of me, alright? I don’t need to be on the stage, just leave a spot for me to watch."

"No need to say, definitely not a problem," Liu Banxia said cheerfully.

"Don’t laugh, when you laugh, I get nervous," Wang Chao said helplessly.

"Nervous about what? Today Liu Yiqing is adding extra dishes. Are you paranoid or something? Can’t be like this," Liu Banxia shook his head and walked toward the canteen.

"Isn’t it your fault, always setting traps, who knows when I’ll fall into one?" Wang Chao muttered.

Liu Yiqing and the others agreed with Wang Chao, it’s true, the big demon king could also be called the king of traps, if you’re not careful, you’ll fall into a pit.

Just like today, Liu Yiqing hadn’t felt any pressure from surgeries with Liu Banxia recently. So in the questioning session, she didn’t think twice and was caught in a pit by Liu Banxia.
