Back to 1999: From operating surgeon to becoming a top doctor

Fast and steady, this is the first impression Xiao Chenguang gave to everyone when he was suturing.

Shi Cong, who was closest to the operating table at this time, was even more shocked.

The lightning-fast black silk thread in Xiao Chenguang's hand became shorter and shorter. In just a blink of an eye, the inner incision had been sutured.

She stretched her neck and kept looking into the operation area without affecting Xiao Chenguang's operation.

She was immediately shocked.

Every stitch on the muscle layer was as delicate as a work of art, and every stitch and thread was just right, beautiful and firm.

Even the stitches were in order, like rows of fences on the road, neatly arranged on both sides of the incision.

"Is this a continuous lock-edge mattress suture?"

The director of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery was also paying attention to Xiao Chenguang.

He could tell at a glance what suture method Xiao Chenguang used.

It was just that this suture method used for skin transplantation or gastrointestinal end closure was used by Xiao Chenguang for incision anastomosis because of its good hemostatic effect.

It's a bit of a waste of talent.

But before he could react, Xiao Chenguang finished the last stitch, then used the needle holder to clamp the thread reserved for the first stitch, and gently pulled it.

The originally loose suture line instantly tightened and contracted, and the entire incision was like a metal zipper about to close, and as the two sides of the muscle layer gradually aligned, they finally fit tightly together.

Seeing this, the director was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

As a surgeon for so many years, he had done countless sutures.

But for him, even if he had done many perfect sutures, they were eclipsed by Xiao Chenguang's continuous suture in front of him.

This is not a person doing sutures, it is clearly a precision instrument showing him his nobility and extraordinaryness.

But unlike their amazement, Xiao Chenguang gradually frowned.

His skills are still there, and his experience is also there.

It's just that the operation of this hand obviously can't keep up with his thinking.

It seems that his future training should also be put on the agenda.

Although for a small operation like this, ordinary hand-eye dexterity is enough.

But if you really want to do some more sophisticated and complex operations.

For example, coronary artery bypass grafting and microvascular anastomosis, his current operation is slightly insufficient.

Xiao Chenguang once saw that an old professor could become world-famous for suturing 18 stitches on a few millimeters of blood vessels.

This is equivalent to threading a needle on a blood vessel thinner than a hair, and the most important thing is that there must be no anastomotic leakage.

This requires extremely high hand strength and precision.

Like many level 4 operations, the difficulty is not how to cut, but how to sew.

If the suturing is good, the operation will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort, but if the suturing is not good, not only will the operation have to be redone, it is very likely that the patient's life will be lost.

Just as Xiao Chenguang was suturing and planning future training projects, the originally narrow field of view of the surgical area suddenly doubled.

Huh?

Xiao Chenguang was startled, and glanced around and found that the two directors, one on the left and one on the right, were standing on the stage with retractors to help him with the operation.

What's going on?

"We're idle anyway, so we'll lend a hand."

"Yes, yes, there's strength in numbers."

The two directors spoke up.

However, the director of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery looked like an ancient martial arts fanatic, as if he had discovered a secret book, and looked at Xiao Chenguang's suture eagerly.

On the other side, the deputy director of the Department of Obstetrics didn't even blink, and even stuffed his entire head into the patient's abdominal cavity.

It looked like they were not just helping out.

However, Xiao Chenguang knew it in his heart, but the other staff in the operating room didn't know.

They were dumbfounded at this moment, watching the two department directors personally help Xiao Chenguang pull the hook in disbelief.

How much face does it take to send two directors to help him set the stage.

I'm afraid that even the business dean doesn't have this treatment.

Seeing this, Xiao Chenguang shook his head and didn't say much, and then started to suture again with full concentration.

It has to be said that the director-level hook is still quite reliable.

As the field of vision expanded, the operating space also expanded, and Xiao Chenguang was more comfortable with the operation.

This made his suturing speed rise to a higher level again.

Wow!

The two directors were shocked again.

Originally, they thought that the speed just now was already Xiao Chenguang's limit, but they didn't expect it to be faster.

Threading the needle and matching the skin, every step was extremely fast, and even produced afterimages, making the directors' eyes unable to keep up with Xiao Chenguang's rhythm.

Then the muscle layer, fascia layer, subcutaneous fat, and every incision were closing quickly.

In an instant, there was only a faint black suture hanging on the patient's abdominal circumcision. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see that there was a more than ten-centimeter incision here.

"The suture is too beautiful!"

"Not only beautiful, but also the hemostasis effect is top-notch. Didn't you see that the blood pressure on the patient's monitor has stabilized?"

Everyone looked at the hair-thin suture on the patient's abdomen again, like a work of art. Even after the patient's incision healed, the directors were reluctant to remove her sutures.

"Your name is Xiao Chenguang?"

Shi Cong, deputy director of obstetrics, looked at Xiao Chenguang with a burning gaze.

"Yes."

"When your department is disbanded, are you interested in coming to the obstetrics department to help me?"

"Help your graduate students?"

"Uh, not me..."

Shi Cong was choked by this sentence.

She really thought that this caesarean section was done too well, coupled with the new surgical procedure and the suturing technique demonstrated by Xiao Chenguang.

She couldn't help but invite him on the spot.

After all, the rumor that the general surgery department was about to be disbanded had spread throughout Shengli Hospital.

She also felt that Xiao Chenguang was a talent. As the deputy director of the department, it was not difficult for her to personally invite a resident doctor to the obstetrics department.

However, the result of being straightforward was that she was criticized to pieces.

The director of the thoracic and cardiovascular surgery department on the side trembled all over after hearing Xiao Chenguang's answer, as if he was very uncomfortable.

He coughed violently twice before suppressing his smile.

This Shi Cong is the same. No matter how straightforward his personality is, he would not talk like you.

Others' departments have not been disbanded yet, but they poached people in person. If Xiao Chenguang hadn't had a good temper, he would probably have scolded them.

But then again, if he hadn't had a good relationship with Wang Jingang, he would have had the urge to poach people just now.

After this episode, the patient's sutures were all completed.

There were no more alarms on the monitor, and every value was normal.

Looking at the patient who was still unconscious on the operating table, Xiao Chenguang knew that this was not only because the anesthetic had not been metabolized.

More importantly, it was because the patient's heart had stopped beating for too long before, and the trauma was severe and the amount of blood loss was large, so the recovery would definitely be much slower.

"Why not let the ventilator blow for a while longer." The anesthesiologist suggested.

"Yes." Xiao Chenguang nodded.

Fortunately, Shengli Hospital in 1999 already had its own small ICU.

Although there were only 4 beds, like the emergency department, there was no doctor dedicated to the department, and even few nurses.

But at least it was not.

In this case, the patient must stay in the ICU for a few more days, and after consciousness is restored, the ventilator and tube will be removed and returned to the general ward.

"Are you ready to leave?" asked the anesthesiologist.

"Wait a minute."

Just as everyone was preparing to pack up and take the patient for transfer, Xiao Chenguang found disinfectants and personally disinfected the patient's incision over and over again.

It was not until the sterile cotton pad of the incision was replaced again that it was considered over.

"This guy is so young, but he's so steady."

The two directors looked at each other and saw each other's astonishment.

If this guy is an experienced old expert who can rescue, operate, suture, and is careful, they can understand him.

But Xiao Chenguang's age is not more than 25 years old.

Or even younger.

Where did he get these abilities? Is it innate?

At this moment, the directors are more and more curious about Xiao Chenguang.
