Chapter 271: 271: A Divine Operation

Many people exchanged glances. Could it be that this intern truly had a role to play in assisting the surgical team during this procedure?

What could an intern like her possibly contribute to such a high-level operation?

The surgery began.

The laparoscope moved rapidly, following the lead surgeon’s every motion.

Both Teacher Sun and Teacher Sun were incredibly skilled. Once they started, their movements were swift and precise, like a well-oiled machine. Although Sun Yubo was often overshadowed by Tan Kelin, he was undeniably exceptional in his own right.

As she observed Teacher Tan’s movements, Xie Wanying instinctively slipped into the same focused mindset she had when holding the retractor earlier. She paid close attention to Teacher Sun’s movements and the monitor’s display, knowing her role was vital to the team’s success.

Teacher Tan didn’t include her in the surgery just for show—he expected her to contribute meaningfully. The anatomy of the patient’s surgical site was something she had studied extensively, sketching numerous diagrams the previous night. These drawings had helped her build a clear, three-dimensional mental map, which now aligned almost perfectly with the images on the laparoscopic monitor.

The laparoscope moved in sync with Teacher Tan’s ultrasonic scalpel, which was working even faster. The laparoscope’s field of view had to remain centered on the scalpel to facilitate the lead surgeon’s actions. Teacher Liu Chengran’s separating forceps struggled to keep pace with the lead surgeon’s speed.

According to the surgical plan, the laparoscope locked onto a specific position, and the ultrasonic scalpel began cutting.

The monitor now displayed not just the moving instruments but also the intricate, rapid maneuvers required for the procedure. The surgical video moved so quickly that the observing students couldn’t keep up with their eyes.

Shen Jinghui and Gao Zhaocheng had to focus intently, their gazes never leaving the screen.

“Doctor Tan always operates this fast. Watching him do laparoscopic surgery feels like riding a roller coaster,” Director Yang said, finally giving up. He removed his glasses to wipe them, his eyes too strained to follow the blur of movements. Resigned, he adjusted his glasses and praised the young talent of their hospital.

Indeed, the speed and the small field of view on the laparoscope, combined with occasional rotations, did give the operation the dizzying feeling of a roller coaster ride.

After making his comment, Director Yang turned to the two senior doctors beside him, hoping for their input. “So, how’s the surgery coming along?”

Neither Shen Jinghui nor Gao Zhaocheng had the time to respond.

Suddenly, someone among the students exclaimed, “Whoa!” The shout was followed by a wave of gasps and murmurs of amazement.

Director Yang turned back to the monitor, following the collective gaze. His eyes widened in shock.

The ultrasonic scalpel had reached an exceptionally narrow anatomical space within the patient’s abdominal cavity—a notoriously difficult area to operate in. In such a tight spot, moving the scalpel was challenging enough, let alone accommodating the laparoscope for illumination.

In real-life operations, conflicts between the ultrasonic scalpel and the laparoscope in such confined areas were almost unavoidable. The space was simply too restricted to fit both instruments comfortably.

What could be done in such a predicament?

Yet, the monitor showed something extraordinary. The laparoscope was positioned in a unique way, providing a perfectly illuminated, unobstructed view of the surgical field without appearing in the monitor itself. The seamless coordination allowed the lead surgeon to work effortlessly.

“Where is it positioned?” Director Yang exclaimed, his voice filled with astonishment as he directed his question to Sun Yubo.

This was nothing short of divine precision—a god-tier operation!

The laparoscope handler had executed a move so extraordinary that it left the observing students in awe. Adrenaline surged as they shouted in astonishment, unable to contain their excitement.

Everyone turned to each other, their eyes sparkling with exhilaration.

Was it really possible that Teacher Sun was so skilled that he could almost match the lead surgeon’s precision?

Director Yang squinted hard through his glasses, focusing on the person holding the laparoscope—Sun Yubo. His heart swelled with hope for the young doctor’s promising future.

Everyone assumed that this incredible feat had to be Sun Yubo’s doing, as he was the one operating the laparoscope.
