Chapter 129: My Needle Holder (Seeking monthly votes—extra updates for book-loving friends!)
Chen Cang turned to a doctor beside him and said, “Please hand the needle holder.”
The man, in his thirties, nodded in acknowledgent.
Chen Cang first used the hemostat to tighten the end of the tendon, then he flipped the hemostat to reveal the cut surface.
He quickly exclaid, “The needle, please!”
Chen Cang swiftly adjusted the tendon’s axis. At 3mm from the far cut end, he inserted the needle at a slanted angle, corresponding to the suture point of the near end, and passed it through symtrically in a crisscross pattern three tis.
This series of movents dumbfounded the doctor holding the needle holder.
Almost without hesitation, the entire suturing process was extrely fast.
It wasn’t that Chen Cang didn’t want to slow down; he wanted to utilize the tension gathered by pulling closer to minimize the tendon suturing loss.
The tendon of a severed finger is different from that of a regular tendon suture.
The fluidity of his movents, without any hesitation, made Tan Zhonglin sowhat worried…
Would the alignnt be sufficient?
This sa concern was shared by everyone!
Could you ensure proper alignnt that quickly?
Clearly, their worries were unnecessary, for when a sutured tendon was finally revealed to all, even Tan Zhonglin was taken aback!
This…this has got to be so kind of acrobatics, right?
No, that’s not it!
It’s magic!
Definitely not surgery.
Just monts ago, there were two separate ends, and now a seamlessly sutured, complete tendon appeared.
Chen Cang was very confident, with eyes filled with self-assurance.
In fact, such a tendon does not require many stitches, but each one must perfectly complete the suturing of the tendon.
That requires a ticulous approach!
Like the technique Chen Cang had just perford; it had an effect that showed off his skills.
But this was not showing off, it was a special tendon suturing technique, which demanded a highly solid and precise suturing foundation!
Coincidentally!
Chen Cang was a tendon suture master!
Everyone was left agape, including Tan Zhonglin.
Couple of doctors participating in the surgery couldn’t help but swallow their saliva…
This is surely ant to scare us, isn’t it?
In Tan Zhonglin’s eyes, there was a complex sentint: he has improved again, improved again!
And this improvent was a qualitative breakthrough!
Tan Zhonglin found it extrely hard to believe that a young doctor in his twenties could possess such profound tendon suturing skills.
The previous session had already shocked them enough.
And this ti, it was shattering their worldview!
Isn’t this too terrifying?
In comparison to Tan Zhonglin.
The younger doctors around him simply didn’t know how to express their feelings at this mont.
So even felt a sense of defeat creeping over them.
What kind of monster has our boss brought in?
After the extensor tendon suturing, it seed nobody was worried about the flexor tendon anymore…
After all, the hardest part was already done; what was this in comparison?
It wasn’t long before the suturing was completed!
[Ding! Your tendon suturing has impressed all the doctors present, earning a basic skill from Tan Zhonglin, please select!]
[Ding! Given your performance just now, which impressed everyone and perfectly completed the surgery, a follow-up task has been triggered: assist in completing a vascular suture. Upon finishing this task, fingertip reattachnt surgery will be activated! ]
Chen Cang was montarily stunned!
He had actually triggered a follow-up task, and moreover… he could acquire fingertip reattachnt surgery!
Wait, not acquire?
Activate?
What’s the difference between activation and acquisition?
There shouldn’t be a big difference, right?
Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn’t help feeling joyful inside.
Fingertip suture surgery is a high-level operation!
So hospitals treat it as a third-level surgery, and even the provincial second hospital has not yet started it.
This might be the first third-level surgery he was about to have.
You need to know that the main surgeries carried out in the ergency surgery room right now are of two kinds. One kind is the general ergency surgeries led by Chen Bingsheng, focusing primarily on hepatobiliary, pancreatic, splenic, and gastrointestinal operations. The other kind is the hand surgeries led by Director An Yanjun.
However, Director An’s hand surgery program hasn’t been fully launched yet. The main reason is that the equipnt is still on its way. Once everything arrives, the ergency’s hand surgery program will beco the sole hand surgery base of the Provincial Second Hospital.
In fact, establishing a hand surgery program has always been the idea of Li Baoshan, but without an operating room approved, it was quite troubleso. Even this ti, Li Baoshan went through a lot of trouble and exerted significant effort to secure the approval.
Now, at the reward stage, Tan Zhonglin stood in front of Chen Cang like a skill library, waiting for Chen Cang to choose one.
However, only basic skills were available for selection:
[Advanced Vascular Suture].
Pass!
[Advanced Tendon Suture].
Don’t want it!
[Advanced Debrident and Dressing Change],
Next!
[Advanced Nerve Suture]!
The ultimate trump card!
I choose you!
When Chen Cang saw the Advanced Nerve Suture, he didn’t hesitate at all and imdiately decided to receive it.
This skill was not easy to co by.
Moreover, nerve suturing is much more intricate than tendon suturing, and the complexity level is also higher. If he could acquire this skill, it would be perfect!
[Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired Nerve Suture, Advanced, Special effect: Precision!]
After completing the tendon suture, the most important step of reattaching the severed finger was about to take place!
That step was vascular suture.
The most critical aspect of this tiny vascular anastomosis is to have endurance and patience. In summary, one must have stamina!
Because the surgery is perford under a microscope, the entire process is extrely delicate, and without exceptional endurance and a persistent spirit, it’s hard to complete the task well.
Chen Cang was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the doctor who had handed him the needle was already picking up the vascular suturing needle to get ready.
This left Chen Cang completely stunned.
In this situation, how could he speak up?
Should he just grab the needle holder?
That wouldn’t be good…
We’re all civilized people here…
Could the task be impossible to complete?
Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at the man with a sigh, “Ah…”
At that mont, Zhou Yang had already noticed that Chen Cang had been staring at the needle holder in his hand for quite so ti, and in his eyes… there seed to be a mix of longing and… self-confidence?
Thinking back to how impressively Chen Cang had perford the Tendon Suture Surgery, Zhou Yang wavered.
Should he let this genius take over?
With that thought, Zhou Yang lifted the needle holder, unable to resist asking, “You…?”
Chen Cang was startled, then reached over for the needle holder with a smile, “No need to thank , don’t be polite!”
Zhou Yang was dumbfounded: ?? ??
Did I say I was going to thank you?
Was I being polite to you?
Tan Zhonglin also couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Chen, you… you know how to suture blood vessels?”
Chen Cang nodded, “Hmm… about the sa level as suturing tendons…”
With that said, the outco was self-evident.
As expected, Tan Zhonglin’s eyes lit up and he switched sides cheerfully, “Doctor Zhou, let Xiao Chen do the suturing.”
Zhou Yang nodded. Who else to suture if not for him?
But why… did it feel so bitterly disappointing?
As he watched Chen Cang suturing, a song called “My Needle Holder” was being composed in his mind, a gift to himself.
You took away my needle holder
It’s fine, I still have my eyes!
You underestimated , thinking I lacked skills.
But I will never submit to you, not ever
