Operating room.
In operating room number eight, the light was bright and dazzling, shining directly on the operating table.
Xiao Zhihua, the slightly short director of the Department of Anesthesiology, stood beside the operating table, laboriously adjusting a round stool to its highest position. He sat firmly on it, concentrating on performing general anesthesia on the patient. The small flowered hat on his head had slipped slightly, covering his eyes. He quickly adjusted it with his hand before continuing his work.
Zhang Zhimei, the head nurse of the operating room, was wearing a fitted scrubs suit and had a capable posture. She was preparing for her work as a circulating nurse in an orderly manner.
Li Zheng pushed open the door and saw the two of them. He smiled and said, "Hey, Director Xiao and the head nurse are personally preparing the table. They really think highly of me!"
Director Xiao stopped what he was doing, looked up, and said with a smile, "I'd really like to see how someone who performed such a beautiful splenectomy would perform an appendectomy!"
Head nurse Zhang Zhimei also smiled and said, "I'm here to count the gauze and equipment!"
Li Zheng understood what she meant and was not angry about it. He just smiled lightly and turned around to wash his hands.
Director Xiao looked at Li Zheng's departing back, shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you are afraid of being cheated!"
Zhang Zhimei nodded helplessly, "I don't want that kind of accident to happen again!"
Soon, Li Zheng and Chen Dayong came to the washroom, and both of them moved quickly and skillfully.
The nurse who was washing her hands also walked over quickly.
"Hehe, Doctor Li, I'm your instrument nurse again today!" A crisp voice sounded.
Li Zheng turned around and saw that it was Lin Xiaomei. A hint of surprise flashed across his face. He realized that this girl must have an extraordinary background and could go to any department she wanted.
When Chen Dayong saw Lin Xiaomei, his eyes lit up and a sly smile appeared on his lips. He moved closer to Li Zheng and whispered, "Brother, you can see that Xiaomei can't bear to leave you for even a moment!"
Li Zheng ignored him and continued scrubbing his hands meticulously. Chen Dayong, however, continued with a chuckle, "Xiaomei's family must be well-connected. If you two were together, it would definitely be a big boost to your career, saving you decades of hard work!"
As he spoke, he nudged Li Zheng lightly with his elbow.
Li Zheng still ignored Chen Dayong and focused on washing his hands, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
"Brother, think about it carefully!"
Li Zheng ignored him, quickly washed his hands, and returned to the operating room.
Chen Dayong and Lin Xiaomei also came in.
They performed disinfection, laid sheets and dressed people skillfully, cooperating very well.
After everything was ready, Li Zheng stood in front of the operating table and stretched out his right hand.
Lin Xiaomei quickly picked up a No. 22 skin cutting knife and accurately tapped Li Zheng's palm.
The moment their palms touched, even though both of them were wearing thick gloves, a strange feeling still made their hearts tremble slightly.
The operation officially began. Li Zheng's eyes instantly became sharp and focused. He accurately cut a 5-centimeter incision at the patient's right lower abdomen at McBurney's point.
Chen Dayong stood aside, looking at the incision, his heart suddenly tightened. After hesitating for a moment, he gently reminded: "Brother, this patient is so fat, 5 cm is not too small, it should be at least 10 cm or even longer."
Upon hearing this, Director Xiao and the head nurse couldn't help but frown, with a look of doubt on their faces. Could it be that the splenectomy that day was so exciting, but it was just limited to the splenectomy?
Only Lin Xiaomei was present, her eyes filled with firm trust.
Li Zheng ignored everyone's doubts, raised his knife and cut quickly.
Immediately afterwards, several bleeding spots appeared under the skin. He quickly picked up the electric knife and accurately used electric coagulation to stop the bleeding one by one.
Afterwards, he skillfully separated the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, and then used blunt separation techniques to gently separate the external oblique muscles, internal oblique muscles and transverse abdominal muscles. Finally, he opened the peritoneum and successfully entered the abdominal cavity.
After entering the abdominal cavity, he just hooked his finger lightly, and like a magic trick, the appendix and part of the cecum were easily pulled out.
Then he picked up the hemostatic forceps, firmly clamped the appendix mesosome, and cut and ligated the appendix artery and vein segment by segment.
Li Zheng reached out his hand again, and Lin Xiaomei had already handed the No. 1 silk thread to him.
He took the silk thread and double-ligated the base of the appendix. Then, he decisively cut off the appendix 0.5 cm away from the ligature and handed the cut appendix to Lin Xiaomei.
At the same time, the iodine cotton ball had been handed to Li Zheng, and the sutures were ready, and everything was connected just right.
After disinfecting the appendix stump, Li Zheng skillfully performed a purse-string suture, perfectly burying the appendix stump in the cecum.
Finally, he gently reduced the cecum back into the abdominal cavity.
"Flush and close the abdomen!"
Li Zheng's voice was steady and powerful. It was like a thunderclap, instantly waking up everyone who was immersed in his superb operation.
The entire surgical process was completed in one go, each step was precise and smooth, without any unnecessary movements, it was perfect.
Director Xiao subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall and couldn't help but exclaimed, "4 minutes and 25 seconds! This... this... is too fast!"
His eyes were wide open, his face was full of disbelief, and his voice trembled slightly with shock.
Not only Director Xiao, but everyone in the operating room was shocked speechless by the scene before them.
In their impression, an appendectomy operation would take at least 20 minutes, which was considered fast. However, everything before their eyes took less than 5 minutes, which made them feel like a dream and so unreal.
"Brother...Brother, how did you do that?"
Chen Dayong asked stutteringly while mechanically helping Li Zheng cut the thread.
