Chapter 267 -140: Young in Age, Not in Skill. Slowly Turning the Situation Around_2

Anyway, it’s a blood vessel with the distal capillary network cut off; ligation for hemostasis should be a good approach.

“Wait a moment, let me check!”

Dr. Ou spoke to Zhou Can much more politely.

First, suck up the blood to avoid obstructing the view.

Once interference was gone, he quickly identified the problem.

“When I was removing the malformed blood vessels, I split open a vessel. No wonder electrocoagulation couldn’t stop the bleeding. This blood vessel anomaly is quite severe, already affecting the vessels below the spinal dura.”

The cause was found.

Dr. Ou was pleased.

Sometimes it happens this way; before the problem is found, anything is possible. It’s only once the fog lifts and the real cause is uncovered that one finally understands. Oh, the reason for the bleeding is so simple.

“We need to continue exploring downward, removing all the diseased blood vessels thoroughly and then perform ligation. Otherwise, it’s a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode.”

Dr. Ou said.

“In this situation, it is necessary to open up the spinal dura to probe thoroughly. To completely eliminate the hidden danger.”

According to the regulations, certain necessary records need to be made during the surgical process.

Initially, it was just a surgery for extramedullary spinal hematoma clearance, but now there’s a need to open the spinal dura, essentially upgrading the surgery.

A reasonable explanation must be provided.

Generally, the first assistant records the surgical process. The chief surgeon then reviews it and signs off.

Alternatively, the chief surgeon can personally write it within twenty-four hours.

After Dr. Ou opened the spinal dura and investigated, he discovered that although the vessel was not very thick, the pathology was quite severe.

It extended nearly 3CM, displaying abnormalities and hardening.

Following Zhou Can’s suggestion, he ligated the ends of the blood vessel segments.

“Alright, you can release the hemostatic forceps now.”

Dr. Ou told Zhou Can.

Zhou Can slowly released the hemostatic forceps, and indeed, there was no further bleeding.

Everyone wore pleased expressions. freēnovelkiss.com

“By the way, what’s your name? You have quite prominent hemostasis skills.”

As Dr. Ou was suturing the spinal dura, he inquired about Zhou Can’s name.

If not for Zhou Can’s standout performance, it’s likely that even after two months of specialized training, Dr. Ou might not remember his name.

He might not even have asked.

Now, he felt Zhou Can deserved to have his name remembered.

“My name is Zhou Can! I just finished my specialized training in neurosurgery and will be under your care for the next two months.”

Zhou Can had a recent disagreement with the first assistant.

He successfully managed the patient’s bleeding, essentially saving face for the first assistant.

Lowering his stance now also served to ease the relationship between the two parties.

That being said, he would still seize opportunities when they arose. Given another chance, he would still find ways to distinguish himself.

Only by demonstrating his skills, could he earn a different regard from the senior doctors.

And get opportunities to lead.

Take Jiang Xiaohua for instance; he and Zhou Can were both in specialized training.

Now Zhou Can might get the chance to suture, something Dr. Ou would likely agree to. But not necessarily for Jiang Xiaohua.

That’s the difference between getting noticed and staying unseen.

“Hmm, your performance just now was good, keep it up.”

Dr. Ou, apparently, hadn’t heard of Zhou Can’s reputation before.

After a bit of praise, he focused back on the surgery.

“Xiao Zhou, have you practiced suturing surgical incisions yet? Stand by and watch how Chen Yue sutures the patient’s incisions. Once you learn, if the situation permits, I’ll consider giving you some practical opportunities.”

Dr. Ou spoke to Zhou Can in a gentle tone.

Senior doctors are generally the same; they try to foster the most outstanding trainees as much as possible.

“Thank you!”

Zhou Can quickly expressed his gratitude.

He had already reached an advanced level in suturing, only a thousand experience points shy of advancing to the deputy chief level.

But he still humbly went along with Dr. Ou’s words.

“Pay attention, suturing involves strict requirements on thread alignment and needle size. The holding technique of the needle holder and the coordination with the tweezers also involve very sophisticated skills. It took me many years to achieve even a little success.”

Dr. Chen, having lost face earlier during the hemostasis, now found an opportunity to regain his standing.

He confidently explained the basic methods of suturing while beginning to steadily suture the patient’s cutaneous layer.

His suturing skills were not weak, reaching a mid-level among resident doctors.

There’s still a considerable gap from an outstanding level among residents.

Zhou Can watched attentively at the side.

Jiang Xiaohua glanced briefly and then looked away, seemingly already familiar with suturing.

For trainees, suturing still represents a rare training opportunity.

Even many resident doctors are vying for such tasks.

After Zhou Can’s attentive observation, he noticed that suturing techniques varied across different departments.

Like martial arts schools, even if they all wield swords, their styles are distinct.

Zhou Can’s suturing technique likely originated from the General Surgery lineage, later incorporating some of Dr. Xu’s style. After three months of training in orthopedics, he also integrated some advantages of orthopedic surgeons’ suturing.

Overall, his style was like integrating the strengths of various schools, continually absorbing others’ strengths and improving his suturing skills.

He realized that, whether it was Dr. Ou or Dr. Chen, their suturing styles leaned towards being meticulous.

Their movements were neither too fast nor too slow, and the force used was quite gentle, aiming for neatness in sutures.

This might be greatly related to the surgical directions of their departments.

Neurosurgery operations are high-precision, unlike the more forceful orthopedic surgeries. When suturing, applying too much force might risk failure in vascular or nerve suturing.
