Chapter 244: Chapter 245: What is He Up To! (Added for 5000 monthly tickets.)
After all the preparations were in place, the surgery was ready to begin!
The cameras also started recording, remote video sharing was activated, and everyone was prepared for the surgery.
At this moment, Qin Xiang was already standing at the first assistant’s position, looking at Chen Cang, waiting for the surgery to start.
The surgery was quite complex because it involved a large number of skin flaps, and how to skillfully design them became the most critical issue.
Skin is divided into the epidermis and dermis, while the skin flap also requires subcutaneous tissue.
Everyone knows the epidermis.
And the dermis can be said to be the core area of the skin, where a thin layer contains microvessels, muscles, sebaceous glands, nerve endings, sweat glands, and so on, constituting the functional areas of the skin.
Subcutaneous tissue mainly comprises subcutaneous fat, connective tissue, and large blood vessels.
The surgery required separating the skin flap and then using various ingenious methods to transplant it to another place.
This is what is known as skin flap transplantation surgery!
Chen Cang started according to the area he had already marked in advance.
Inside the Sixth Hospital of Modu City, everyone had already gathered together, taking great interest in this case, because the skin flap transplantation design plan proposed by Qin Xiang was not merely a plan but was a concept and a thought process. It even had enlightening effects for future surgeries.
For this reason, within the Sixth Hospital, Wang Yushan and Director Xiao called all the doctors from their department to seriously study this surgery.
However, once the surgery started, they suddenly realized that the chief surgeon was not Qin Xiang! It was a young doctor under thirty years of age!
Is this a joke?
Director Xiao also frowned slightly, “So many people in our Sixth Hospital are watching and learning earnestly, yet you, Director Qin, let such a young fellow take the lead. Isn’t this showing a lack of respect?”
Mentoring newcomers is not done this way, is it?!
There was a stir of discussion among the people around.
Wang Yushan cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, quiet down. Look carefully, listen carefully, learn carefully, and don’t talk nonsense.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but sigh and fell silent.
The process of separating the skin flap was simple, consisting of sharp dissection on the surface of the fascia bit by bit, but while Chen Cang was operating, he preserved the paratenon and retained the necessary capillary network.
The design of the incisions for facial surgery directly affects the aesthetic results of healing and is a key element that reflects the artistic aspect of surgery.
Chen Cang’s choice of incisions was almost to the point of exacting!
Even Qin Xiang, who stood beside him, couldn’t help but be taken aback.
He was well versed in skin flap transplantation and plastic surgery. Precisely because of this, the more he watched, the more shocked he became.
This young Chen… truly impressive!
…
Meanwhile, a group of people in the Sixth Hospital of Modu City, while watching the surgery, couldn’t help but feel a bit contemptuous.
After all, they were the elite in this field, watching a young man perform surgery.
It felt like a novice trying to teach a master.
“This… in the cheek area, it’s completely possible to omit some skin flaps, why does he extend it so much? Ah…” one doctor couldn’t help but ask.
“And there, the state of the relaxed skin, seems a bit problematic…”
Many shook their heads.
Seeing the arrogant attitudes of the young doctors around him, Wang Yushan became angry.
They prejudged based on their initial impressions that the young doctor was too inexperienced, overlooking many issues! Why would Qin Xiang dare let Chen Cang take the lead on such an operation? Was he unaware of the importance of this surgery?
Wang Yushan realized at that moment why Qin Xiang had done this!
Because the young man’s strength was simply beyond words!
Watching the young doctors around him, Wang Yushan said in a deep voice, “Do you know why this is? Because it’s a facial flap transplantation.”
“Notice his incision, every step of his incision tries to stay within the same skin aesthetic unit! This is an almost demanding requirement!”
“Moreover, regarding the choice of incision, ha, have you not noticed?, the incision must be designed along the relaxed skin tension lines, which is an important principle for facial surgery incisions!”
“And! When he chooses the direction of the incision, it nearly aligns perfectly with the deep skin furrows! Such a steady hand, such a clever design!”
At this point, Wang Yushan couldn’t help but become emotional!
This young man, leaving everything else aside, the way he grasps every single detail of the facial skin can be said to be classic!”
After Wang Yushan spoke, everyone was stunned!
Even Director Xiao had a solemn face, seriously observing Chen Cang’s surgery, somewhat dumbfounded.
Had Wang Yushan not mentioned it, they would have been unaware, but his words suddenly left some completely astonished!
It really was so.
This young doctor’s grasp on detail, his control over the subtle maneuvers, truly reached a master level.
And the young doctors around fell silent for a while.
Watching Wang Yushan and Director Xiao, as well as the attending chief physicians all watching the surgery video with solemn and serious expressions, they couldn’t help but sigh.
At that moment, everyone put aside any underestimation and started watching the surgery with earnest!
Meanwhile, Wang Yushan began to ponder, who was this young man?
So young, yet so talented… Every move he made seemed to have the touch of a master!
Chen Cang was extremely cautious, afraid of damaging the facial nerves and blood vessels, trying his best to repair everything that was repairable.
This kind of facial flap transplantation plus cosmetic surgery was very challenging.
He had to consider not only the structure of the face but also take care of the blood vessels, nerves…
Every step had to be carefully considered.
The more intricate the surgery, the more cautious and meticulous Chen Cang became.
Design and surgery are always two entirely different operations.
Armchair strategies always seem easy.
But in reality, once you start, each step becomes exceedingly difficult!
“Hold the flap for me, be careful with the vessels,” Chen Cang instructed Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang nodded; at this moment, everyone in the operating room held their breath.
After Chen Cang was prepared, “Lay it down, slowly.”
After each step of the flap transplantation, an optimal position was needed, and then the suturing would begin.
At that moment, everyone around started paying attention, thinking that Chen Cang was about to begin suturing!
But he didn’t!
After the flap transplantation, Chen Cang didn’t immediately suture after moving it to a new location?
What was he doing?
At this thought, Wang Yushan couldn’t help himself and stood up from his seat, fixating his eyes on the screen, startling the several doctors around him.
Wang Yushan was already imposing, so these doctors were somewhat intimidated by him!
Seeing the dean’s actions, everyone instinctively quieted down.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiang was also looking at Chen Cang with a surprised face, why wasn’t he suturing?
