When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 130

Chapter 130:130th Chapter: Captain Zhang, Thank You! (Requesting monthly votes, added more for Alliance Hierarch Qing Tuan!)

Suturing small blood vessels was honestly Chen Gang’s first time!

If it weren’t for the “mentor’s guidance” and the tempting task reward, Chen Cang wouldn’t be willing to show off like this!

Chen Cang adjusted the eight-power magnification.

By this time, the wound had already been cleaned impeccably, and Chen Cang cut away the outer layer 2mm from the edge of the cut.

As soon as he picked up the micro-tweezers, Chen Cang didn’t know where he had put the scissors.

Looking at Zhou Yang, who was assisting him with his gaze, he thought for a moment and handed the small scissors to him.

Zhou Yang was stunned and took them.

An innocent face became a middle man in the passing of instruments.

The bridge between the equipment nurse and Chen Cang.

Chen Cang used the micro-tweezers to gently tug the outer layer toward the direction of the cut.

Then, taking the small scissors from Zhou Yang’s hand, he neatly trimmed about 0.2mm of the blood vessel, making the outer layer retract slightly and the media and intima slightly protrude.

The cut edge of the blood vessel was smooth and even, and the outer layer was removed appropriately.

The stitch distance and edge distance for the suturing of the dorsal venous and arterial vessels should be even, generally the edge distance being o.i~o.2mm, stitch distance o.2~o.3mm. Chen Cang was very adept at this; after all, he had just acquired a special effect in vascular suturing technique: “meticulous!”

Meticulous didn’t just mean a denser suturing, it mainly referred to a highly precise control of the stitch distance!

Since venous pressure is lower, the stitch distance could be slightly wider than that of the artery.

Suturing began!

Chen Gang’s fingers moved swiftly and before long, the suturing of the dorsal vein was complete.

This speed!

Zhou Yang was stunned!

Are you kidding me?

Are you suturing a blood vessel or just gluing it with 502 adhesive?

This is a small blood vessel, and it’s microsurgical work that requires patience and endurance in suturing technique… you… you’ve got to be cheating, right???

Tan Zhonglin was also taken aback.

The speed of vascular suturing is a bit fast, isn’t it?

Afterwards, Chen Cang didn’t immediately start suturing the artery, but first took a few stitches on the soft tissue or skin around the venous blood vessel to protect the blood vessel from drying and damage.

This detail impressed everyone present; it seemed he was a professional indeed!

Next up was arterial suturing. The suturing of the artery needed to be firm and meticulous, and naturally, Chen Cang was going to enter the “Benevolent Healer’s Hand with Thread” mode.

The same procedure; Chen Cang was about to use the scissors, but saw Zhou Yang delivering them with a smile.

Chen Cang nodded in satisfaction as a form of encouragement. After adjusting the outer layer and trimming the arterial cut, he released the vascular clamp. There ought to be good spurting blood from the proximal cut before the artery could be sutured.

Chen Cang deliberately slowed down because intraoperative arterial blood supply insufficiency was mainly caused by arterial spasm or slight stenosis and unevenness at the anastomosis site.

If the suturing was uneven, the anastomosis site needed to be resolutely excised and resutured, which would undoubtedly be detrimental to later recovery!

Chen Cang aimed for meticulous suturing!

With every stitch and thread, Chen Cang was very careful; under “mentor’s guidance,” Chen Cang could see clearly the artery he was suturing.

Suturing complete!

This meant that the vascular suturing was coming to an end. What was left was to see how effective the suturing was!

Thinking this, Chen Cang said to Zhou Yang, “Release the vascular clamp.”

The people around were also showing signs of anticipation, after all, Chen Gang’s operation was… too impressive.

This was less like surgery and more like a performance.

Tan Zhonglin had to admire it too. Making surgery look so beautiful was something no one else could do…

After releasing the blood flow blocking clamp, suddenly, the arterial flow on the far side of the anastomosis site could be seen filling and pulsing. The blood supply to the distal reimplanted finger was good, with the skin color turning from pale to rosy and the skin temperature rising.

At this, everyone around was elated!

Tan Zhonglin, with a joyful expression, excitedly said, “Dr. Zhou, perform a tourniquet test. Let’s see how the arterial patency is!”

Zhou Yang nodded and gently performed the tourniquet, immediately stopping the blood flow!

“Director! Perfect!”

The tourniquet test could verify if the artery was patent, but if the tourniquet was too tight, it could damage the blood vessel and cause postoperative embolism and anastomosis failure.

After a while, Tan Zhonglin took a needle and gave a slight prick on the fingertip. Instantly, fresh blood flowed out!

Blood circulation was successfully restored!

At that, everyone was overjoyed.

The vascular suturing was successful!

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Cang had almost completed half of the amputated finger reattachment procedure!

Feeling modest about the following nerve suturing, Chen Cang was hesitant to take the lead.

Zhou Yang was very humble this time, “Don’t be polite, it’s fine that you came.”

Chen Cang quickly moved to an assisting position, “You go ahead, I’ll help you!”

Zhou Yang felt somewhat flattered all of a sudden, the great god was assisting me, what if I get nervous and fumble with the minions?

Fortunately, Zhou Yang was also technically solid, and the nerve suturing was done methodically!

Chen Cang did not continue with the final operations either, letting everyone take turns.

But-

Chen Cang had already completed half of the entire amputated finger reattachment, and that included the most technically challenging parts: the small blood vessel suturing and the tendon suturing!

At this moment, everyone’s gaze at Chen Cang turned into awe!

Indeed, this young doctor had provided a thrilling surgical performance for everyone.

And Zhou Yang, being the closest to the spectator’s seat, felt it profoundly!

This was a master!

If he takes away the needle holder, so be it!

It doesn’t matter!

A master, after all, should carry the grace of one.

The surgery ended!

Tan Zhonglin looked at Zhang Keqin with a smile, “The surgery went very well. You should thank Doctor Chen. If it weren’t for him, it wouldn’t have gone this smoothly today.”

“Based on my experience with the surgery just now, your hand may recover very well. As long as you do the rehabilitation properly, it won’t affect your life!”

Hearing this, Zhang Keqin immediately showed a joyous expression.

You should know, the moment his finger was severed, his heart had shattered.

But-

No matter what, it seemed he might have to step back from the front line in the future.

Thinking here, he couldn’t help feeling a bit sentimental.

Seeing this, Chen Cang let out a sigh.

Being a detective was indeed a high-risk job.

Chen Gang’s look towards Zhang Keqin was full of admiration and respect.

This person, he deserved Chen Gang’s respect!

Some people silently bear the weight and march forward on our behalf.

Zhang Keqin looked at Chen Cang, “Thank you.”

Chen Cang shook his head, looking earnestly at Zhang Keqin, “Captain Zhang, thank you!”
