The difficult part of the surgery was that the two children's hearts were not beating at the same frequency, but they were connected at the position of the new heart.
The mutual influence caused the heart to 'self-contradict' and prevent it from growing healthily.
This was the most difficult part of the entire surgery. It had such a huge impact that the doctors at Philadelphia Children's Hospital had given up on the surgery.
The first time Zheng Ren and Su Yun worked together, it ended in failure before they could even touch this difficult point.
Su Yun frowned at the failure of the surgery. It was rare for him not to be long-winded or nagging. Instead, he stared at the simulation of the 3D printed conjoined twins. No one knew what was going on in his mind.
Chief Han sighed in his heart. It was still not working.
The simulation surgery was a lot easier since the hearts of the 3D printed conjoined twins were fixed in place.
Even so, Chief Zheng had to suture the atrium on Little Shuang's side, but there was a problem with the atrium on Big Shuang's side.
It was obvious that Dr. Su could not complete the suture in a short period of time.
His technique was a little strange. Although it was fast and fierce, it was not practical. Chief Han glanced at Su Yun from the corner of his eye. He was good-looking and the surgery … was considered good for his age.
Unfortunately, it was not enough.
"How is it?" Zheng Ren asked suddenly.
"It's okay. I was overthinking," Su Yun said calmly, not discouraged.
The sudden conversation between the two was the only sound in the surgical demonstration room.
"Practice cooperation first. Don't worry about the heartbeat," Zheng Ren said in a low voice.
"Okay, change to a 3D printed conjoined twins and continue to do the heart."
"Chief Chen, do one more time," Zheng Ren said.
Deputy Director Chen immediately asked someone to change to another model and start the next surgery.
There was no liver surgery. Chief Zheng had no problems with that one. This time, he went straight to the heart.
After opening the chest and cutting open the shared pericardium, Chief Han was stunned when he started to separate the connected atrium.
The handsome Dr. Su beside him seemed to understand something. His technique was simple and clean, so perfect cooperation seemed to be a problem.
The surgery was over after 3 ′ 22 ″.
The patch perfectly repaired the thin myocardium of Big Shuang and Little Shuang. The surgery was over.
It was a success? Chief Han, Deputy Chief Chen, and the doctors from the women's and children's hospital looked relieved.
However, what they saw were two pairs of deep eyes.
"That's not a problem, but what about the heartbeat? I can't do this surgery. "Su Yun asked in a deep voice.
"Bit by bit, this is the first time I've done this kind of cooperation with you. It's very difficult to operate on two surgeons. Don't worry, "Zheng Ren said.
"Again."
Deputy Director Chen stood at the back. Two hours later, her legs were numb. She felt that there was a problem with venous reflux.
Deputy Director Chen found a chair and sat down. He tapped his thigh and watched in confusion as Zheng Ren and Su Yun squandered on the operating table.
One by one, the models were used up, and Deputy Director Chen's heart ached.
Although the 3D printed model wasn't that expensive, it couldn't be used like this.
Although his heart ached, he still had to use it.
Vice President Chen waved his hand and asked the people from the Department of Science and Education to find the manufacturers. They had to prepare enough raw materials.
She knew in her heart that Boss Zheng and Doctor Su, who was standing in front of him, had fallen into a state of madness. If they suddenly lost the 3D printed models, the two of them would point at their noses and curse for a whole day.
If that was really the case, how could he still be a human?
After the 18th cooperation, Zheng Ren was satisfied with the current operation. He began to let someone pinch a rubber ball to simulate the heartbeat of the conjoined twins.
After starting this part of the surgery, the originally perfect surgical process suddenly had a problem.
Under the interference of the beating heart, the difficulty of repairing the weak atrium with the patch was so high that it made everyone despair.
Despair was what everyone else felt. Zheng Ren and Su Yun were like machines, unmoved.
Two microscopes were placed on the heads of the two surgeons. They meticulously performed the surgical training.
Deputy Director Chen glanced at the beating heart and could not help but sigh. The difficulty was too great, so great that she wanted to give up now.
Especially after the connected atrium was cut open. Although Boss Zheng's technique was clean and agile, the weak atrium residual muscles and rapid heart beat were all obstacles to the surgery.
There were too many difficulties. Even if Little Zheng's surgery was done well, it was unlikely to be completed smoothly. The haze in Deputy Director Chen's heart became heavier. She had a vague bad feeling.
Sitting on the chair, Deputy Director Chen clenched her hands into fists and knocked her legs, which were a little numb from standing for too long. At the same time, she looked at the members of Boss Zheng's medical team with a scrutinizing gaze.
There was no doubt that the two surgeons were the focus of the scene.
The scrub nurse standing in front of the equipment table seemed to be small and transparent. However, when Deputy Director Chen cast her gaze over, it was difficult for her to look away.
She was very young, and her eyes were as transparent as a clear stream, reflecting a sparkling luster.
However, no matter how complicated the surgery was, she would prepare in advance what kind of equipment the two surgeons needed. As long as the surgeons stretched out their hands, the relevant equipment would be placed in their palms.
There was no communication between the surgeons and the scrub nurse, not even eye contact.
However, she had never made a mistake. The equipment that was handed over could be used immediately by the surgeons.
Because there were no mistakes, there was no delay, so the scrub nurse was naturally ignored by everyone.
She was like transparent air. A few hours after she started the surgical training, Deputy Director Chen inadvertently noticed her.
Amazing! Deputy Director Chen was stunned.
She had performed surgery before and knew the help of a good scrub nurse in surgery. When Deputy Director Chen was still a clinician, she would occasionally fly to other cities to perform surgery.
The most annoying thing was to meet a lousy scrub nurse during surgery.
She did not know what equipment she needed at all. Even if she stretched out her hand and said the name of the equipment, the other side would still have to find it for a long time.
This would cause the originally skilled surgery to become jerky and difficult to operate. A surgery that was originally two hours would be extended to three to five hours to complete.
However, the scrub nurse that Boss Zheng brought seemed to have performed countless surgeries on conjoined twins. No matter what equipment the surgeon needed, she could predict it in advance and slap the equipment in the surgeon's palm the moment the surgeon reached out his hand.
That was not all. There were not many scrub nurses who could cooperate perfectly with the surgeon, but there were also many.
There were two surgeons in the heart part of this surgery. Her performance was still at ease and did not seem to be flustered.
This was simply … unscientific! Deputy Director Chen thought to herself.
