Chapter 093: In ancient times, Hua Tuo scraped bone to treat poison; now, Lin Yi scrapes the gallbladder to remove cancer!

"Doctor Lin, what should I pay attention to later?"

"Why don't we still call Teacher Lu? It wouldn't be good if I held you back."

"Is it really possible for a late-stage cancer patient to be cured...?"

Fang Xiaoran asked nervously, her face flushed, as she meticulously scrubbed and disinfected her hands.

Lin Yi had actually invited her to be the first assistant for such an important cancer surgery.

This made Fang Xiaoran incredibly excited, but also a little inexplicably uneasy... "This guy has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He said he didn't have time to teach me anything."

"But now he's letting me be the first assistant, which clearly means he's just being stubborn..."

Fang Xiaoran, feeling as if her heart was smeared with honey, couldn't help but feel her heart race as she secretly glanced at Lin Yi's profile.

"Don't be nervous. Being my assistant is very easy; any Surgeon who understands basic operations can do it."

"Teacher Lu insisted on being the first assistant, so I can only reluctantly have you as the second assistant."

"If you still have important things to attend to, you don't have to participate in the surgery..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi, who had completed all pre-operative preparations, hurried to Yang Dong's operating room.

"Uh... I..."

Fang Xiaoran stomped her foot in frustration, feeling awkward and at a loss.

Only then did she realize that she had been imagining things all along.

Lin Yi was still the same annoying Lin Yi, with no intention of giving her any special consideration.

"Hmph!"

"I'm not leaving by myself!"

"I don't care if you teach or not, can't I just secretly learn!"

After gritting her teeth and making a vow.

Fang Xiaoran took big strides and chased after Lin Yi, in the direction where his back had disappeared!

... "Patient: Yang Dong; Surgery name: Radical gallbladder cancer surgery; Surgery start time..."

After all medical staff were in place and the Anesthesiologist had administered general anesthesia to the patient.

Lin Yi, standing in the main Surgeon's position, announced the official start of the surgery according to standard surgical procedures.

"Scalpel."

Staring at the patient's exposed upper abdomen, Lin Yi decisively gave the first command.

Lu Chenxi, without hesitation, handed the scalpel she had prepared earlier to Lin Yi.

[Hint: Move down two millimeters, open the abdomen at a 15-degree angle to the lower right, and you will achieve the best surgical field...]

As the scalpel descended, the system prompt in his mind had already given the best abdominal incision range and angle.

Following the prompt, Lin Yi made a 14-centimeter incision, then successively cut through the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscle layer, and peritoneum, exposing the patient's abdominal cavity.

"Hiss..."

When the entire gallbladder, along with parts of the liver, Duodenum, and Pancreas, were exposed in the field of vision, Lu Chenxi gasped.

The complexity of the patient's condition completely exceeded her expectations.

The gallbladder, which originally had a diameter of only two or three centimeters, had swollen to the size of an apple.

From its uneven surface, it was evident that it was filled with gallstones or tumors.

Several areas were even stretched so thin and transparent that they looked like they could rupture at any moment... Not only was the gallbladder's condition extremely complex, but the patient's bile duct had also swollen and deformed.

It was visible to the naked eye that it was densely packed with impacted gallstones or tumors.

The areas connecting the liver and Duodenum above and below were also in a similar state, indicating a very high possibility of tumor metastasis... "Lin Yi, the lesion in the patient's gallbladder is extremely complex."

"How about we remove the gallbladder first and proceed with conservative treatment?"

"Under these circumstances, completely eradicating the cancerous tumor is simply not realistic!"

After a brief analysis, Lu Chenxi proposed what she considered the most stable surgical plan.

Cholecystectomy is a basic medical skill that a Surgeon must master.

Lu Chenxi believed she had some authority in this field... "Oh!" Lin Yi responded noncommittally.

He didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed with Lu Chenxi's proposal and immediately began to separate the various structures within the triangle of Calot.

He knew that any further explanation now would be futile.

It was better to use his own strength to silence those who doubted him... Ligating the cystic artery and ligating the cystic duct, without even needing a second confirmation, Lin Yi completed the most troublesome work for a Surgeon in a very short time.

"Next, I will incise the entire gallbladder wall. During this process, Teacher Lu, you must be fully focused and catch anything that falls out of the patient's gallbladder."

"If even a single drop of fluid or residue falls into the patient's abdominal cavity, there is a possibility of cancer cell dissemination."

Lin Yi turned around and sternly instructed Lu Chenxi.

Although with the system's prompts, Lin Yi would be able to detect any substance falling into the patient's abdominal cavity in time.

However, if such a situation did occur, it would be troublesome and time-consuming to deal with.

It was, of course, best to avoid such trouble... "Ah!" Lu Chenxi was stunned, not understanding Lin Yi's meaning.

"Aren't we removing the gallbladder?"

All of Lin Yi's preliminary preparation procedures were standard cholecystectomy procedures.

Now he was telling her that he was going to make an incision in the gallbladder wall.

Did this have any special significance?

Even if all the stones and tumors inside the patient's gallbladder were removed, what good would it do?

The cancer cells had already infiltrated the gallbladder tissue.

No matter what surgical method was adopted, the patient's gallbladder had to be removed... "Fang Xiaoran, you take over Teacher Lu's work. Prepare for the collection."

Seeing Lu Chenxi's lack of reaction, Lin Yi directly ordered Fang Xiaoran to take over her work.

Time was urgent, and he didn't have time for extensive explanations...

"No, I can do it!"

Lu Chenxi, having recovered her senses, quickly refused Fang Xiaoran, who was preparing to help.

As the first assistant, not understanding her role was indeed her mistake.

Putting herself in his shoes, if this were her own surgery.

If a first assistant made such a major mistake, she would have already told them to get out of the operating room... "Teacher Lu, I'm warning you one last time: in an operating room where I am the main Surgeon."

"I do not expect my assistant to make such a basic mistake again!"

Lin Yi coldly warned Lu Chenxi.

From today onwards, he had to ensure absolute authority in any operating room where he was the chief Surgeon.

No matter if the other person was his teacher or a director, this rule could not be violated.

As the system gradually upgraded, future surgeries would certainly increasingly exceed the understanding of normal doctors.

Having to explain painstakingly every time was truly too much trouble...

"Understood, I promise it won't happen again."

Lu Chenxi humbly accepted Lin Yi's criticism, then found the most suitable tray and carefully placed it under the patient's gallbladder.

After all, she had committed a major taboo for a chief Surgeon, so she had to endure being scolded...

When Lin Yi split the entire gallbladder of the patient in half down the middle and continued with his next actions.

All the medical staff in the operating room widened their eyes, watching the chief Surgeon's movements with a hint of dread.

In ancient times, Hua Tuo scraped bone to treat poison; now, Lin Yi scrapes the gallbladder to remove cancer...
