In the operating room, all the preparatory work was already done, just waiting for the lead surgeon to take his position.
Kohinata Kaori looked at the patient lying on the operation table, desperately recalling the surgical strategy she had studied before, wanting to double-check the details one more time.
Even though it was her own request to come as an assistant, having less than two hours to memorize a surgical strategy she had never encountered before still made Kohinata Kaori somewhat nervous, fearing she might make a mistake somewhere.
“Don’t be nervous, relax, just treat it as a regular thoracotomy.” Chen Yu, who was already prepared for surgery, walked into the operating room and immediately spotted the anxious Kohinata Kaori.
After offering her a word of comfort, he then got ready to start the operation.
“The procedure to remove the cardiac myxoma begins now, everyone, please.” Chen Yu announced the start of the operation, took the scalpel and said to Kohinata Kaori, “Kaori, get ready for thoracotomy.”
“Yes, senior brother!” Although nervous, once Chen Yu announced the start of the operation, Kohinata Kaori calmed down.
As a surgeon, the first thing she had learned was that no matter how anxious she was before stepping onto the operating table, the moment the surgery starts, she must stay calm.
The steps of the thoracotomy were no different from a normal operation, and Kohinata Kaori, now calm, cooperated with Chen Yu and quickly completed this phase.
“Prepare the heart-lung machine, Kaori, get ready to establish extracorporeal circulation,” Chen Yu instructed Kohinata Kaori while he separated the space between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, preparing to place a band around the ascending aorta.
Hearing Chen Yu’s instructions, as Kohinata Kaori prepared for the procedure, she still asked Chen Yu, “Senior brother, how exactly do you plan to excise the tumor?”
“Hmm, I plan to use thoracoscopic surgical instruments to enter the patient’s ventricle from the arteries and veins and excise the tumor without opening the heart,” Chen Yu finally explained to Kohinata Kaori, meanwhile continuing to work on the blood vessels around the patient’s heart to connect them to the heart-lung machine to establish extracorporeal circulation.
However, after hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, Kohinata Kaori was somewhat taken aback, and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Enter the ventricle through the blood vessels?
But wouldn’t that damage the heart valves?
And senior brother, how will you obtain a surgical view inside the ventricle?”
“No need,” Chen Yu’s answer shocked Kohinata Kaori.
“No need for a surgical view?
Senior brother, have you lost your mind?” Kohinata Kaori looked at Chen Yu in amazement, reaching out to stop him from continuing, “Senior brother, explain yourself!
Otherwise, I won’t let you experiment with the patient like this!”
“When I say no need, I mean no need, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Chen Yu didn’t mind Kohinata Kaori’s interference, brushed her hand aside and continued his actions, but he still offered an explanation, “In your eyes, do you think your senior brother is someone who takes such risks?”
“But without a view of the operation, are you going to do it blind?
What if something goes wrong?” Kohinata Kaori still didn’t give up on trying to stop Chen Yu. novelbuddy.cσ๓
In fact, for Chen Yu, whether there’s a surgical view was irrelevant; his eyes could already perform X-ray vision, and even without any assistance, he could complete the operation smoothly.
But such supernatural occurrences were obviously not suitable to tell Kohinata Kaori, nor were they appropriate to demonstrate in the operating room.
“This operation will incorporate new technology that does not require a view inside the ventricle.” Chen Yu explained briefly, while signaling a nurse nearby to bring over the prepared equipment.
The nurse brought over a few pairs of glasses that looked a bit strange.
Looking at the glasses the nurse handed over, Kohinata Kaori wore them with perplexity and immediately, a 3D stereoscopic projection of the patient’s heart appeared before her eyes.
It turned out these were holographic glasses.
“So you were planning to use holographic projection technology for the surgery?” Kohinata Kaori finally understood Chen Yu’s intention and how he planned to perform the surgery without direct visual access.
With holographic projection available, Chen Yu indeed didn’t need to insert a camera into the patient’s heart to get a sufficient surgical field of view.
All the details inside the patient’s heart were already projected in front of him through the holographic glasses, and he did not need anything else.
“Since you understand, why not come and help?
First, connect the patient’s blood vessels to the artificial heart-lung machine, and then make an incision at the proximal end and insert the sheath,” Chen Yu glanced at Kohinata Kaori and urged her to get to work.
Kohinata Kaori did not insist on stopping Chen Yu from continuing the surgery as she had before and hurried over to help her mentor with the preparation.
Once the nurse had the artificial heart-lung machine ready, she connected it to the patient’s blood vessels, stopping the blood from flowing into the heart.
“Cool down the patient’s heart and stop the heartbeat,” Chen Yu instructed Kohinata Kaori.
Cardiac surgery required stopping the heart from beating; otherwise, the surgeon would not be able to make the cuts.
After quickly cooling down the patient’s heart with ice, the heart stopped beating.
Seeing this, Kohinata Kaori hurriedly followed Chen Yu’s recent instructions to cut open the blood vessels around the heart and inserted the required sheath for the surgery.
Seeing everything was ready, Chen Yu picked up the surgical forceps that would be used in the thoracoscopic surgery and inserted them through the sheath into the patient’s heart.
——————————————————
“Tumor removal complete, prepare to suture.” Chen Yu used the forceps through the sheath to extract a string of crystal-like transparent tumors, and the mucinous cystadenoma removal within the unhappy heart was successfully completed.
Now it was time to restore the patient’s heartbeat and circulatory function.
Moving in an orderly fashion to transfer the blood circulation from the artificial heart-lung machine back to the patient’s own heart, Kohinata Kaori couldn’t help but ask Chen Yu, “Mentor, how did you come up with the idea of using holographic projection for this surgery?
And how did you think of using thoracoscopic surgical instruments?
This idea is genius!”
“Use your brain, study the cases, and it will naturally come to you,” Chen Yu spoke the truth—for him, the answer really was that simple.
“Okay…” Kohinata Kaori felt a bit dejected, but remembering her behavior in trying to stop Chen Yu earlier, she felt it wasn’t right to continue asking, and since the surgery wasn’t over yet, any questions would have to wait until after its completion.
As the two worked, the patient’s heart finally started beating again.
Watching the patient’s heart regain its rhythm, Chen Yu then said to Kohinata Kaori, “Alright, start preparing to suture.”
