Chapter 1007 -1009: I… Simply Don’t Deserve It! (Extra for Monthly Pass)
Watching Chen Cang smoothly complete this step, Sun Guangyu and Zhuang Yueming exhaled in relief!
They knew that if this surgery were successful, Chen Cang would have almost pioneered a new surgical method!
Difficult?
Very difficult!
But the results would be very good!
A reconstructed digestive tract was never as good as the original, so instead of simply replacing it, was it possible to repair it as much as possible?
This was a surgical concept!
Preserve as much of the original digestive tract structure as possible.
The surgery continued!
Chen Cang dared not to slacken at all, under normal steps, it was time to begin with the gastrectomy, decapitation of the pancreas, severing the jejunum, and removing this entire middle section!
But Chen Cang did not proceed like that, not even the bile duct was severed from the duodenum.
Since the beginning was different, the story’s development was certainly different, as was the outcome naturally.
Chen Cang had already planned this detailed surgical strategy well in advance.
From the very start of making an incision in the duodenum, Chen Cang had been prepared for partial resection.
The pancreas lay below the stomach while the bile duct was to the right of the pancreas, with the duodenum connecting both the pancreas and the bile duct.
At this moment, Chen Cang tied off both ends of the duodenum, then began the resection…
The assisting Sun Guangyu almost couldn’t keep up with Chen Cang’s pace!
Zhuang Yueming was even busier making all sorts of coordinations.
And at this time, Ford’s expression was somber; he actually couldn’t comprehend what Chen Cang was doing.
The surgery kept ongoing, seconds and minutes ticking by.
Finally, when Chen Cang began repairing the bile duct, Ford was stunned!
He was surprised to discover that what Chen Cang was doing was far beyond a simple pancreatoduodenectomy.
The normal steps were exploration, resection, and reconstruction of the digestive tract.
But Chen Cang hadn’t destroyed those anastomosis points, so what was there to reconstruct?
The only possible reconstruction might be the gastroenterostomy, right?
Throughout the entire resection of the duodenum, Chen had preserved enough tissue for repairs.
So much so that the later repairs didn’t need much change to the anastomosis points!
This operation left Ford seeing stars…
How did he manage it?
At this time, Ford recalled the explorations Chen Cang had done before the operation; it only required three steps, but he took dozens instead.
He had been prepared for this from the beginning!
Huff puff…
Ford could feel his breathing become rapid.
The risk, difficulty, detail, and control of this surgery exceeded everyone’s imagination.
Ford couldn’t even guess what Chen Cang was going to do next.
This was somewhat terrifying!
Time slowly passed…
After the resection of the head of the pancreas and the duodenum, everyone realized that as long as the jejunum was transposed, the entire digestive tract would hardly be affected at all!
This… was somewhat terrifying!
Chen Cang had increased the difficulty of resection, but as a result, the complexity of reconstructing the digestive tract was reduced.
This also reduced a variety of complications due to inappropriate anastomosis points being forcefully managed.
At this time, Sun Guangyu and Zhuang Yueming were already sweating profusely!
The workload of the nurse mopping sweat wasn’t small either!
And in contrast, Chen Cang, calm as ever, composed and nonchalant!
The difficulty of the anastomosis work was very minor!
So minor that it surprised everyone.
Ford stood behind, and without realizing it, he felt his back drenched with cold sweat, and the hair on his forehead was wet and sticking to his skin.
The whole person was like falling into water!
Ford was truly scared.
He had never thought of such a surgical approach, unheard of, unseen!
Preserving the original digestive tract system, especially the bile duct, which was an important pathway for bile digestion.
The reconstruction of the digestive tract had to be based on the foundation of digestive function.
Chen Cang’s surgery preserved the digestive function as much as possible.
This was a new direction!
Even a new field!
Ford was not afraid for himself, but for the entire Mayo Digestive Center.
Ford could even foresee a future where this type of surgery that preserves the original digestive tract would definitely become mainstream!
Ford’s mind raced!
Digestive tract reconstruction… Digestive tract reconstruction…
Then… how to reconstruct!
If you destroy the original digestive tract, how effective can an anastomosis really be?
Do you think the human body is made for stitching?
As the surgery ticked by second by second, Ford had already lost interest in watching the surgery; each step Chen Cang took resonated in his mind like a curse, lingering long after.
Not to mention seeing… even if you watched, you wouldn’t grasp the core techniques.
Such surgery was something Ford wouldn’t dare to attempt, no matter what.
It was a radical cancer surgery!
If any part was not preserved well, if the control was not precise, it would lead to the spread of tumor cells!
Simply put, metastasis!
The more Ford pondered, the more panicked he became.
The emergence of such a new surgical technique was going to be an unprecedented shock to gastrointestinal surgery!
Could Mayo maintain its central position?
In your dreams!
In the end, he really couldn’t stand to watch any longer; if he did, he didn’t know if he would collapse.
He quickly opened the door of the operating room and ran out, very disheveled and hurried!
The assistants and nurses behind him followed suit. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
They saw Ford sitting on the ground outside, gasping loudly.
“Professor, are you feeling unwell?” an assistant couldn’t help but ask.
Ford shook his head: “I need to use the restroom.”
After saying that, he struggled to his feet and walked forward.
That was when everyone noticed that Ford’s back was drenched in sweat!
They looked at one another, puzzled, wondering what had happened.
Ford returned to the changing room, used the restroom, washed his face, and changed into his own clothes.
He composed himself.
He knew that he needed to return to his country.
This place… was too terrifying.
This young man named Chen Cang had directly and decisively breached his psychological defenses.
He had been crushed in the area he knew best!
It was no longer simply a defeat.
He could even predict that, one day in the future, Chen Cang’s technique would indeed become mainstream.
Thinking back to his initial arrogance, Ford suddenly realized how ignorant he had been.
Mayo had been comfortable for too long!
Maybe it had forgotten what competition even tasted like?
After leaving the operating room, he bumped into Qin Zhenwei.
“Mr. Ford, why are you out here? Has the surgery ended?” Qin Zhenwei couldn’t resist asking urgently.
Ford shook his head: “It should be ending soon, perhaps in half an hour.”
Qin Zhenwei was taken aback for a moment: “Then why did you come out early?”
Ford couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh: “Mr. Qin, you jest.”
“Dr. Chen Cang’s surgery is probably the best surgical option at the moment, and the most effective.”
“The reason I came out is that I’m afraid of disturbing Dr. Chen Cang’s surgery, and… I simply cannot provide guidance for Dr. Chen’s surgery, no, I am not even qualified to make an assessment.”
“Now I understand why he wanted me to stand by and watch…”
Ford knew that if he were to operate, given his current state, it would surely be a disaster for the surgery…
