259 The operation was successful

Safely separate the internal oblique muscles and transverse abdominal aponeurosis, open the abdominal cavity, and use a retractor to pull up the middle part of the incision.

"Ruyi, help me pull it, just make it the same weight as mine."

Qingshi's face was a little pale, but he was still calm. He helped to absorb the blood with cotton wool.

Sun Sicheng saw that Ping An had a lot of sweat on his forehead, so he quickly wiped it with a handkerchief. The wound couldn't be stained with sweat, and Ping An's eyes couldn't be soaked by sweat either.

This is what Ping An told him.

When Ping An used his sterilized hands to reach into the abdominal cavity and accurately found the appendix, the four people present were shocked, and Bao Wenzhu even sat down on the ground.

Ping An pointed to the root of the appendix disease and said, "Master, you see, it's right here. Even the color has changed and there is some pus. Please clamp it with forceps and I will cut it off. Wait for me to sew up the cecum wall."

"Okay." Sun Sicheng did not hesitate and immediately clamped it with pliers. After a few pauses, Ping'an cut out the rotten intestine and put it into a porcelain bowl on the side. This would be shown to the patient's family later.

Ping An cleaned out a small amount of pus in the pelvic cavity, and then sutured the two inner incisions with catgut. He was reluctant to use catgut for the outermost layer, so he used ordinary but sterilized thread instead.

Sun Sicheng applied medicine and bandaged the wound.

The whole process, including anesthesia, took no more than an hour. Young Master Chen's breathing was steady, and because the needle was inserted well, not much blood was lost. His complexion was still good, more normal than before.

"Master, he can't drink water or eat for a short period of time. He can't even take medicine before he has ventilation. He will be in pain in an hour at most. Then we can only use silver needles to relieve the pain. I'll watch over him at night."

"No, I'm worried about you being alone. Let's stay together for one night. We can't leave tomorrow. Let's go back to the inn and have a good rest during the day."

Ping An nodded: "Qingshi, clean these up, Ruyi, help me disinfect the knives and other things, Master, take the bowl to Master Chen, otherwise the patient's family may not believe that the intestines are really rotten."

Sun Sicheng shook his head. "Disgusting, Ping An, I want to tell people that you were the one who performed the surgery. You are more talented than anyone else in this area, including me."

"Master, please feel sorry for me. At most, you can only tell others that I helped you do it. I don't want people to talk about me."

He is indeed better than his master in terms of surgery, and that is because he performed too many surgeries in his previous life, but in other aspects, his master is far better than him.

So over the years he worked hard to learn medicine from his master, including acupuncture, pulse diagnosis and so on.

"All right."

Sun Sicheng still can't calm down. The moment when his young apprentice took the knife and cut his abdomen, he was really shocked and in love. Then he watched him peel off the flesh layer by layer and then reach into the abdominal cavity to find the rotten intestines. He was shocked to the extreme.

I even had the urge to simply worship Ping An as my teacher.

Of course, this impulse only lasted for a moment.

He is Ping An's master. No one can take his apprentice away. In the future, he will be his son-in-law and only son-in-law.

The master and the disciple were washing their hands in the basin and chatting softly, but they didn't know that Bao Wenzhu, who was standing numbly beside them, had made a decision in his mind. He wanted to follow Young Master Ping'an, he must follow Young Master Ping'an, either as an apprentice or as a servant.

By the way, it seems that alcohol was originally thought up by Master Ping An. My God, he is several years younger than me. What kind of genius is he?

When Sun Sicheng and Ping An walked out of the room, the Chen family members rushed up at once, from the old man and old lady in their fifties, to the Chen couple, and several other relatives.

"Master, how is my son?" Mr. Chen's eyes were red and swollen, and the woman he was supporting was even more shaky.

Sun Sicheng nodded: "For now, the operation is very successful and the patient is fine. Master Chen, look, this is a small section of intestine cut from your son. There is already pus, even in the abdominal cavity. Your young master is indeed lucky. If we stayed overnight for even one day, the consequences would be disastrous."

Master Chen asked cautiously, "Master, is my son okay now?"

"That is true for now, but you need to be especially careful in the next one or two days. Send someone to guard the medical hall tonight. No one should be left alone at night. Ping An and I will stay here as well, otherwise I will be worried. I will tell you in detail what to pay attention to later."

Mrs. Chen also came back to her senses, and she came alive again. She knelt down with a plop: "Master, I kowtow to you. Thank you, and thank you to this young master."

"Please get up quickly. There's no need to do this. You two can go in quietly together to check on him and come out right away. We can't have too many people. You can go home and get a recliner tonight. Please stay away from the patient.

Ping An, why don’t you give them two sets of gowns and two masks, otherwise they might get infected. Please tell them some precautions.”

Ping'an nodded and just looked at Mr. Chen and said all kinds of things that could not be done, such as not drinking water, not eating, etc.

Mrs. Chen whispered, "What should I do if my son is hungry?"

Ping An deliberately said seriously, "Madam, if you eat or drink too quickly, your intestines that have just been sutured might rupture, and your life might be in danger.

Wait until he passes gas, that is, farts, then he can drink a small amount of water. He used anesthesia today, so he probably doesn't feel hungry. Tomorrow morning, start eating a small amount of porridge, without adding anything else. For the next seven or eight days, even eggs cannot be used. Just eat some light food, and eat small meals frequently, otherwise it will harm him."

Master Chen glared at his wife and said, "You are such a woman. Our son has finally been saved. He must listen to the doctor. Little doctor, I may have to trouble you and the eldest master tonight."

"It's not a problem. You can go in and check on him now. Be careful. His wound will hurt when he wakes up. My master and I will give him acupuncture to relieve the pain. He will be thirsty at night. You can use a clean towel to wet his lips."

Ping An no longer paid attention to them and looked at Bao Wenzhu who had come out and was standing obediently aside.

"Your name is Wenzhu, right? Is there an empty room in the back hall? My master and I will stay here tonight, but we have to go back to the inn to eat first, so you can take care of it first."

Bao Wenzhu nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, I'll clean up the room right away."

The four fronts of Baicao Hall were connected together, and the back hall was not small, but one room was used as a warehouse, one as a living room, one for him and one for his grandparents, and there was also a small kitchen and a small washroom, so the only room left was one.

If it really doesn't work, just give it up.

Sun Sicheng was already bragging about his disciple to Bao Shu in the back hall, praising Ping An to the highest heaven and earth.

The old shopkeeper and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Bao, listened to him with a smile, their faces were as happy as flowers. When had they ever seen their eldest son like this?

Ruyi came over and said, "Master, Master Ping'an asked if you would like to go back to the inn to eat. He must be hungry."

Sun Sicheng said hurriedly, "No, no, you can ask him to come over, and we can eat Aunt Bao's food tonight. Ruyi, you and Qingshi can bring our medical kit to the back, and we can eat together and then go back to the inn to sleep."
