The surgeon's abnormal behavior startled the nurse so much that she hesitated, not knowing what had happened, and hurriedly handed the prepared scalpel from the instrument table to the surgeon.
Snap, the knife handle was placed into the surgeon's palm.
Chang Jiawei narrowed his eyes behind the magnifying glass, locked his sight on the surgical incision, and slowly cut the skin with the sharp knife in his hand. The incision was to be made vertically beside the vertebrae, and the length should reach about two vertebrae. Whether to expand the incision would be determined according to the situation during the operation.
When the senior didn't speak, he seemed to become a surgical machine like the other teachers, and his every cut was accurate. Xie Wanying observed the surgeon's movements while assisting him with Dr. Liu to support him at any time.
As with other surgical operations, after the surgeon cuts the skin, the first assistant immediately applies gauze to press the incision to stop the bleeding.
The surgeon then changed to an electric knife, cut the subcutaneous tissue and performed electrocautery to stop the bleeding.
The familiar squeaking sounds and the creaking sound of the breakpoint being opened were heard again in the operating room.
The doctors were all focused on dissecting each layer.
The lower layer of subcutaneous tissue is the back muscles of the human body, which include the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboid muscles. Several layers of muscle groups are cut in order. After cutting the muscles, the retractor is pulled up to expose the surgical field of view.

...
Without the third assistant, the second assistant took over. Xie Wanying took the retractors in both hands and carefully inserted them into the left and right sides of the incision to pull the muscles apart.
The situation of today's surgery was different from the abdominal surgeries she had done many times before and was familiar with. The abdomen was like a big sack with a deep area to hold a lot of things, but the back surgery did not have such a deep and wide space. After pulling the hook down, she could really feel a tighter force, which would soon reach the bone area.
Once the operation started, everyone was busy with work and no one cared about the fact that she was a girl. Yes, even Senior Chang, who was known for being gentle with girls, didn't care whether her hands would get sore.
This shows that no matter how nice the big guys are to you on weekdays, they will all be the same when they are on the operating table: impolite.
The teachers only focused on the surgical area in front of them. If they found that she did not pull it properly, they would immediately reprimand and correct her mercilessly.
Not long into the operation, everyone noticed that Xie was not scolded as usual.
Zhang Tinghai lowered his mouth and curled his lips: That's right, Xie classmate is right. Xie classmate is back, the same as always, so you will never be bored in Xie classmate's operating room.
Doctor Liu sighed inwardly and glanced at her again: I didn't expect that this student Xie is not only fluent in academic explanations, but also very strong in performing surgery without a single drop of sweat on his forehead. He was right, she is really suitable for their orthopedics department.
The strength is enough, but it must be admitted that the back muscles are not easy to pull. There is not much relaxation for the hands to rest, and the fatigue of the person pulling the hook increases dramatically with each second.
Chang Jiawei, who had been silent, finally spoke again and said, "Hold on."
Don't think that Senior Chang is taking special care of this girl. She didn't even raise her head and had long forgotten who was making the pinky promise. She was just being nice and watching her subordinate getting tired.
After the operation progressed to a certain extent, the surgeon determined that the surgical field was large enough. Chang Jiawei gave another command: "Switch to the fixed retractor."
After hearing this, Dr. Liu asked the nurse for a fixed retractor. Retractor is the academic name for a retractor. It is very tiring to pull a regular retractor manually. It is better to have a retractor that can be fixed by itself without human intervention. Such a retractor is called a fixed retractor.
