The second surgery was completely different for Ling Ran.
In fact, even a normal doctor would gain more experience and proficiency when he performed a surgery with brand new instruments and equipment. Correspondingly, the smoothness of the surgery would also increase. As for Intuitive
In order to promote the robot, Surgical Company only required normal doctors to perform two surgeries. Although it was far from the level of proficiency, it was still the minimum requirement.
If a doctor wanted to use the robot to simulate surgery, he would be able to practice quite well after a few surgeries.
As for Ling Ran, the ten times Proficiency given by the system was very useful in this situation.
For doctors, it was very common to change instruments and equipment and participate in surgeries with new and unfamiliar equipment. This was especially true for doctors in China. If the older doctors were from the seventies or eighties, they would have experienced the era of Chinese medicine and acupuncture anesthesia. When they faced a situation where the depth of anesthesia was not deep enough, the time, mode, and rhythm of surgery had to be changed. The radiology and medical imaging departments that were built in large numbers during the nineties allowed surgeons to reduce the number of exploratory laparotomies. Surgical plans and even surgical approaches could be more accurately determined …
The simplest surgical instruments for cutting and suturing needed to be updated to a new generation after more than ten years. From the most common metal scalpel to the unipolar endotherm knife, bipolar endotherm knife, and then to the ultrasonic knife that used mechanical vibration. The changes in each generation might be something that the doctors of the previous generation had never thought of. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as black technology.
In comparison, the changes in the da Vinci robot were not the parts that came into contact with the patient's body tissues. Its mechanical arm was also equipped with the endotherm knife and ultrasonic knife, but it no longer needed the doctor to hold it.
When Ling Ran got used to the joystick, the mysteriousness of the da Vinci robot had actually disappeared from Ling Ran's heart.
After all, for Ling Ran, splenectomy was really a very small surgery. It would be a little too much to say that he could perform it with his eyes closed. However, if he only used one eye and one hand, he could really perform it.
Moreover, the da Vinci robot provided him with four claws.
After he got used to the position of the pedals, there were no obstacles at all. Originally, when using endotherm knives, he had to step on the pedals, but he would usually not step on a few pedals. Now that he was a little more careful, it was no longer a problem.
After all the examinations were completed, a pneumoperitoneum was established on the patient's abdomen. The da Vinci robot's 3D vision began to take effect.
"Grab the gastrocolic ligament with the forceps and pull it downward." After Ling Ran made sure that the surgical area was clear, he immediately gave the order.
The middle-aged doctor's mind was filled with thoughts, but when he heard Ling Ran's direct order, his hands and feet moved subconsciously.
At the same time, Ling Ran pulled the gastrocolic ligament upwards and stretched it taut. Then, a mechanical arm with an ultrasonic knife attached to it climbed up without hesitation and cut the gastrocolic ligament into two parts in no time.
The middle-aged doctor was dumbfounded. It was not that there was anything special about this action, but he did not expect it to be done by a newbie like Ling Ran.
Shouldn't a normal newbie be hesitant and gesticulating?
Also, what was with the order just now? He was clearly just a newbie who had just obtained the certification, yet he was so confident in ordering the certification teacher?
What made the middle-aged doctor even more suspicious was, why was he so obedient?
Perhaps it was because this guy's tone was too similar to that of a director?
Before the middle-aged doctor could figure out what was going on in his mind, Ling Ran's order came again.
"Hook it," Ling Ran said without any rhyme or reason.
However, the middle-aged doctor, who was also very familiar with splenectomy, naturally controlled the mechanical arm and hooked a thick blood vessel that was about six to seven millimeters that had just been exposed.
From this point, it could be seen that he was also very familiar with the surgical operation. It could be imagined that he was really confident in splenectomy, which was why he chose to do it.
However, Ling Ran's splenectomy was too strong.
The attending physicians of Taiwu Central Hospital, which was about the same level as Yun Hua Hospital, mastered splenectomy at most at Specialist Level. When it was used to treat patients with elective surgery, it could indeed be done quite beautifully.
However, Ling Ran, who mastered Perfect Level Splenectomy, was not just beautiful.
Even the problems he had to consider during the surgery were completely different.
This was like playing Go. Both players had to place their pieces. Beginner Level Go players would consider how to occupy space and fight for territory. Intermediate Go players would already know how to look at the overall situation to serve the later stage. Meanwhile, high-level Go players would study their opponent's Go habits. Every time they placed a piece, not only did they have to be beneficial to the overall situation, but they also had to guard against possible risks. They had to make arrangements in advance to stop their opponent's future advantage.
When Ling Ran performed splenectomy, he did not need to think about how to perform this step or how to remove the spleen perfectly. His operation was more about taking into account the patient's body structure to try to cut off the possibility of all kinds of bleeding, especially when there was a major bleeding. He had to be very careful.
At this time, Ling Ran separated the main splenic artery with an electric hook. After clipping it, he separated the splenocolic ligament, splenorenal ligament, and splenophrenic ligament.
Every time he separated the ligaments, he naturally needed the assistant's cooperation. For the first two times, Ling Ran still needed to instruct him, but later on, the middle-aged doctor who was his assistant had already automatically followed him.
After being an assistant for a while, the middle-aged doctor's mood gradually calmed down.
There was nothing exciting about the surgery. It was just a simple splenectomy. There were no accidents and no risks. When all the risks were eliminated by Ling Ran in advance, the middle-aged doctor's mentality became even more stable. It was as if his wife had given birth to a black baby and immediately chose to divorce him. Complicated emotions had already exploded in an instant just now. After that, he did not seem to need to do anything anymore. As for the anticipation, happiness, eagerness, anxiety, and anger from before, at this moment, it seemed to be insignificant. It was even a little funny.
Halfway through the surgery. Ling Ran's operation became more skillful.
And when the mechanical arm that Ling Ran controlled became more agile, his surgical options obviously increased by more than just one level.
The spleen pedicle, which made the young doctors' expressions change when they heard about it, was wiped away like snot. The severed blood vessels were so clear that they looked like pictures in textbooks. The blood that seeped out from the small bleeding points did not even have the time to dye the surgical field red before it was buried in the muscles after being wiped and stitched …
At this time, Ling Ran was still not at the middle-aged doctor's level when it came to the operation of the da Vinci robot alone, but the effect of splenectomy was undoubtedly as great as the sky. It was already a height that the middle-aged doctor could not even touch.
Compared to Ling Ran's surgery, not only did the middle-aged doctor think of textbooks, but also research papers and conference videos appeared in the middle-aged doctor's mind. Many of the operations that he thought were only used for lectures, as a benchmark, and to show off during meetings, he could actually match them one by one.
However, the middle-aged doctor also knew that this was not Ling Ran showing off. In fact, he was limited by his lack of familiarity with the machine and equipment, so he adopted a conservative operation.
Then, if it was open surgery or laparoscopic surgery, how strong would Ling Ran be?
When the middle-aged doctor thought of this question, he was already shaking his butt anxiously. He had been fighting all day, but in the end, he was torn into pieces by the Pterosaur Wind God …
Provide a few alternate names for the Pterosaur: Ancient Demonic Pterosaur, Ancient God Pterosaur, Heavenly King Pterosaur, Battle Pterosaur, Wukong Pterosaur, Morning Sun Pterosaur, Fairy Beauty Pterosaur, Emperor Thunder God Pterosaur, Crazy Diamond Fairy Pterosaur, Terrifying Hatziger Pterosaur. The most exciting moment for paleontologists was probably when they named a newly discovered species.
