Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621: Chapter 286: Victory or Defeat in a Single Cut, Neuropathology

Taking the surgical knife, Li Jingsheng appeared calm and composed.

On the contrary, Director Chen Anchen beside him had his heart leap to his throat, eyes fixed on the knife in Li Jingsheng’s hand.

It was as if what Li Jingsheng was about to cut was not the patient’s foot, but a piece of raw jade.

One cut leads to wealth, another to poverty.

Now, one cut would lead to either success or failure, all in Li Jingsheng’s hands.

He started by cutting at the deformity point near the ankle, with an incision about three centimeters long. The precision was impeccable, and he cleverly avoided the deformed venous blood vessel.

What seemed like a simple cut revealed remarkable cutting skills at the finest level.

If he went just a little too far, he could possibly sever the vessel.

Although severing it wouldn’t greatly impact the surgery, it could be repaired during the arthrodesis. However, in a competition, any mistake could lead to losing points.

Normally, this cut should run from three or four centimeters on the ankle joint along the side of the tibialis anterior tendon to the base of the third and fourth metatarsals.

It’s equivalent to making a vertical incision.

The total incision length is about ten centimeters.

Li Jingsheng now is essentially choosing the deformity point, cutting towards the ankle joint first.

Then he cuts down from the incision at the deformity point.

The incision is opened in two passes.

It’s a bit of a hassle, but it can avoid many unnecessary risks.

The best part is, after the four-joint arthrodesis is completed, the deformity will largely disappear, allowing for one complete stitch at that time.

His movements are as smooth as flowing water, and his gestures display the calmness and confidence only a seasoned lead surgeon possesses.

The opened incision is beyond reproach.

If it must be described, it is just right.

Whether it’s the incision’s depth, length, or neatness, they’re all extraordinary.

The cutting technique is mature to perfection and truly powerful.

He should have the ability to challenge highly difficult neurosurgeries.

In terms of precision, neurosurgery is actually above cardiac surgery. However, the complexity of cardiac surgery sometimes even surpasses that of neurosurgery.

Take the famous Tetralogy of Fallot, for example.

Li Jingsheng now mastering such a strong cutting technique, is fully qualified to participate in some top-tier surgical operations and serve as a valuable assistant to the lead surgeon.

As for allowing him to be the lead surgeon, he is not yet capable enough.

To be a lead surgeon in third-level operations, at the very least requires a senior associate chief physician.

The existence of such individuals really doesn’t differ from that of senior chief physicians.

They might be held back by slightly lower academic qualifications, weaker papers, and less research, ultimately being stuck. There are many such associate chief physicians in larger hospitals.

Their practical experience is rich, with at least one or two specialized fields.

Such as proficiency in medication, or excelling at diagnosing certain diseases, or strong surgical abilities.

Compared to such individuals, Li Jingsheng still lacks experience.
