Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Chapter 184: No Need to Stand on Ceremony—Electrocoagulation Hemostasis

"Okay."

Li Jingsheng decisively stepped up to take on the task.

Opportunities for practical training like this are extremely rare, offering tremendous benefits for improving medical skills, gaining surgical experience, and honing courage and character.

Dr. Qin and Ruan Xiaoqin, the two ’mighty guards,’ could only watch enviously.

Surgical procedures require genuine skills. Even the best flattery is useless without those abilities.

In Chinese medicine, not knowing the twelve meridians means you’re wrong from the start.

In Western surgical medicine, lacking skill means fatalities are inevitable.

This might sound exaggerated, but without the technical expertise, botching the surgery is assured.

No senior doctor’s mind would be so clouded as to let an inexperienced young doctor wield a scalpel on a patient.

A tenosynovial cyst is not among common ailments.

It is typically found on the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, or capitate bones, especially at the diaphysis of long bones.

This female patient had the cyst on the palmar side, which is quite unusual.

Under normal circumstances, tenosynovial cysts inside wrist bones typically appear on the dorsal side of the hand.

The anatomical structure of the dorsal ligaments of the wrist is not complex, and the wrist bones are superficially located, so the dorsal approach is the preferred choice. The location of this patient’s cyst was unusual, leading Professor Wu to opt for a palmar approach.

At this moment, the joint capsule on the palmar side was exposed after the nerves and tendons were retracted.

Locating the scapholunate space, and then incising the joint capsule there, revealed the cyst within the scapholunate joint.

The cyst was not large, and its wall seemed very thin.

Now, what Li Jingsheng had to do was to remove the cyst completely.

Though a technical task, to Li Jingsheng, it wasn’t very difficult. Proficiency in dissection technique was more than sufficient.

Perhaps Professor Wu, frustrated from the previous surgery, developed a psychological shadow, fearing embarrassment before his peers again, and thus handed this task over to Li Jingsheng.

Without much effort, Li Jingsheng successfully extracted the cyst.

Complete and intact.

Sharp dissection technique proficiency +1, life points +101.

Wow, he actually received a reward of 100 life points.

This might have been the easiest 100 life points he ever earned.

It likely related to him removing an intra-articular cyst for the first time.

Earning so many life points at once, he felt delighted. Previously having only 59 life points, he suddenly reached 160.

"Wow, so it was just some clear jelly-like substance inside!"

An intern exclaimed in surprise, curiously examining the cyst placed in the tray.

"It’s not your first time doing such a surgery. Stop acting like you’ve never seen the world; it’s laughable,"

Professor Wu glared at him disapprovingly.

The intern fell silent out of fear.

"Dr. Li, well done. For the next surgical steps, just observe and learn from the side!"
