Ling Ran put the liver back into position and quickly completed the suture and other steps. He then stuffed the liver to stop the bleeding and handed it to Lu Wenbin to close the abdomen.
Lu Wenbin was slightly surprised. Abdominal closure was slightly different for different positions, and for Ling Ran, abdominal closure often meant a chance for further learning. It was just like when Ling Ran performed the M-Tang technique. He often asked Lu Wenbin to finish the surgery, so Lu Wenbin eventually learned the M-Tang technique.
Opportunities were always given step by step.
In this regard, Ling Ran was still relatively fair. He would not judge doctors based on their level, age, or beauty. Instead, he would always give opportunities to the doctors with the best performance.
Lu Wenbin started excitedly. He was happy because of the simple abdominal closure.
The doctors who were watching from the side could understand it very well. Now, everyone knew that Ling Ran was already the best expert in hepatectomy in Changxi Province, and he might even become one of the best experts in hepatectomy in China.
The country was too big. Many doctors from local tertiary Grade A hospitals could not afford to care about it even if they wanted to. However, being the best specialist in a province was already a very clear indication of his status.
Forget about other things, Ling Ran could even speak in the National Natural Science Foundation's annual section related to hepatectomy. This was enough to amaze people.
Besides, Ling Ran was not even twenty-five years old.
Specialists would not retire. They would only work in another place.
With the current average lifespan, Ling Ran still had to be in charge of the hepatectomy field for sixty years, which was more than half a century. They thought about whether the development of hepatology would need Ling Ran's participation and approval in this long period of time, and whether the replacement of the person in charge of hepatology departments in different hospitals would be affected by Ling Ran.
The doctors from other hospitals in the operating theater could not help but look at Lu Wenbin. They were so jealous that their teeth were about to break.
Ling Ran turned around and opened the Intermediate Treasure Chest he had just obtained.
'A skill book will do,' Ling Ran thought.
He did not specifically perform liver cancer surgery recently, so the consumption of the Virtual Human was very small. He still had more than three hours left, which was quite a lot. Hence, he did not need it urgently.
Of course, if the system gave him a few more hours of Virtual Human, Ling Ran would also feel that it would be good. This thing was too useful. Not only could it reduce the pressure of his surgeries, but it could also increase the patient's survival rate and life expectancy. However, the number of Virtual Human was not enough. If there were enough of it, Ling Ran could even use it for research.
Inside the shiny silver treasure chest, a similarly shiny skill book jumped out.
Ling Ran nodded and opened the box.
"Level 1 Skill Book: Upgrade a basic skill to the perfect level."
If it were not for the people around them, Ling Ran would have praised him.
Compared to the Skill Books that had a fixed content, the Level One Skill Books left a deeper impression on Ling Ran.
His Barehanded Bleeding Control was obtained from a Level 1 Skill Book.
It was Perfect Level, and it had always been a great help to Ling Ran.
It was all thanks to Perfect Level Barehanded Bleeding Control that Ling Ran was able to be the best in the province with his Master Level Hepatectomy and make a name for himself in the country.
Bleeding was the most difficult and complicated problem in liver surgery. Although barehanded bleeding control could not perfectly solve it, it gave Ling Ran considerable confidence and made him dare to do bolder and riskier experiments.
There was a saying in the medical field: the more a doctor was willing to do risky experiments, the more benefits the patient would get.
Of course, this was always the total benefit, not the benefit of a single patient.
A single patient might suffer health damage or even die because of the doctor's risky experiments, but for the entire group of patients, the doctor's risky experiments were definitely positive.
In fact, since the beginning of the development of medicine, it had been improving and advancing in this way.
Clinical trials of drugs were divided into phases one, two, three, and four, and cost a lot of money. But no matter what words were used to cover it up, at the end of the day, clinical trials of drugs were people testing drugs. Every time, there were bound to be health damage, and death was nothing new. But for all the patients, it was naturally beneficial.
It was the same for surgeries. The first surgeons and even modern surgeons always increased the risks of surgery, and at the same time, increased the benefits of the patients.
Even if the surgeon was not a research-type doctor, when a surgeon started to carry out high-risk experiments, it was usually not a matter of whether the patient could bear the high risk or not. Instead, the patient had already reached the point where he could not obtain any benefits without taking high risks.
The relationship between doctors and patients was sometimes very similar to the relationship between investors and internet companies.
However, what they invested in was medical services, and what they gained or lost was health.
For Ling Ran, after he mastered barehanded bleeding control, his capital and ability to resist risks were greatly increased. Many surgeries could be performed by relying on barehanded bleeding control. It was just like how many investment companies could rely on their capital to invest in high-risk industries and obtain high returns.
Ling Ran clicked on the Level One Skill Book with nostalgia.
[Exposure]
[Incision]
[Separation]
[Bleeding Control]
[Suture]
[Drainage]
The basic surgical procedures appeared in front of Ling Ran once again in a way that he could directly obtain them.
Ling Ran's gaze lingered on the two options, [Exposure] and [Separation], for a few seconds.
At his current state, although there was room for improvement in suturing bleeding control and drainage, they were already his forte. In comparison, the two options, [Exposure] and [Separation], could help him improve the most.
[Exposure] was the most basic of all surgeons, and it was also the hardest to learn, because it required a lot of experience to know how to expose a suitable anatomical surface.
That day on the ship, Lin Honghou almost cut the patient in half to stop the bleeding. If he had superb [Exposure] skills, he could also easily find the bleeding point of the patient.
After he found the bleeding point, although it was not as cool as barehanded bleeding control, and it might not be easy to stop the bleeding directly, as long as the angle of the incision was good, it did not matter whether the bleeding control was elegant or ugly.
On the other hand, the value of "separation" could not be ignored.
For example, hepatectomy, liver cancer surgery, and most of the surgeries in the General Surgery Department were all about separation.
For example, the core of the most basic cholecystectomy was actually to separate the gallbladder from the liver. Once the adhesion was removed, cholecystectomy itself was something that even a novice could do.
And in cancer surgery, there was no need to mention the value of separation. Whether it was good or not, it directly determined the success or failure of a surgery.
It could be said that the six basic surgical skills not only brought a lot of improvement to the doctor, but it was also an all-round improvement, which was more than the improvement of surgical methods.
Ling Ran thought carefully for a moment, and in the end, he still chose [Separation].
Under the list of [Separation +], a row of options instantly appeared:
[Separation of subcutaneous connective tissue]
[Separation of fascia and aponeurosis]
[Separation of tissues]
[Separation of subcutaneous sac]
This time, Ling Ran did not need to think too much. He directly chose [Separation of tissues].
Although the separation of fascia and aponeurosis was obviously beneficial for him in various orthopedic surgeries, such as hand surgeries, arthroscopy, and Achilles tendon repairs, [Separation of tissues] was still the most difficult in terms of difficulty and application.
Unless Ling Ran did not perform general surgeries such as liver and spleen surgeries and was purely an orthopedic surgeon, he would choose [Separation of fascia and aponeurosis]. Correspondingly, [Separation of subcutaneous connective tissue] might be more suitable for departments that made a lot of money like the Cosmetic Surgery Department. As for the separation of subcutaneous sac, there were always some skills that were left over, just like the sac itself.
Of course, if he did not choose to get all of them, Ling Ran would not mind any of them.
There were difficulties and rarities in doctors' skills, but patients would not know them when they got sick. Looking at it from another perspective, as long as Ling Ran had surgeries to perform, he did not really care about the skills …
The silver skill book flashed twice and disappeared. At the same time, the [Separation of Tissues] Basic Technique that Ling Ran mastered was upgraded to Perfect Level.
Ling Ran lowered his head and looked at the operating table again. When he saw that Lu Wenbin was almost done with abdominal closure, he simply said to Zuo Cidian, "Arrange for two more patients for hepatectomy later. Send me their information …"
"Yes." Zuo Cidian immediately agreed.
"Do you want to perform hepatectomy with me?" Ling Ran felt that Zuo Cidian had spent a lot of time and energy on Colles' fracture. Perhaps he should try in another direction?
However, Zuo Cidian thought about it carefully and shook his head firmly. "I'll perform Colles' fracture first. There are still patients queuing up behind me."
At this moment, the system popped up again and displayed the mission interface in front of Ling Ran.
[Mission: Train a newbie]
[Mission Objective: Increase the skill level of a doctor]
[Reward: Intermediate Treasure Chest]
Ling Ran could not help but raise his eyebrows. He felt that Zuo Cidian was the one who triggered this mission. If that was the case, Zuo Cidian had already triggered the same mission three times.
"Alright, go and perform Colles' fracture. If you have any problems, come and look for me. "Ling Ran did not have much to say. When it came to learning skills, most of the time, he had to rely on himself.
Zuo Cidian nodded heavily and left the operating theater with firm steps.
