Chapter 245: Surgery Begins

With the consent of her family and the hospital, Su Nuannuan went into the operating room.

The former hospital director specially assigned the hospital's best surgeon to be Su Nuannuan's assistant.

In addition, he prepared the best surgical equipment.

Finger replantation surgery is a completely new endeavor. When people at the hospital heard that someone was going to have finger replantation surgery, they all applied to observe and learn.

However, the old dean rejected all of them.

Before it was certain whether Su Nuannuan's surgery would be successful, the former hospital director dared not risk the hospital's reputation.

The reason Su Nuannuan was allowed to have surgery was because her family insisted on it.

On the other side, Bai Gang moved very quickly.

No sooner had Su Nuannuan entered the operating room than Bai Gang called the director of the First Dairy Factory in Inner Mongolia, asking to borrow a microscope.

When the factory manager heard that Bai Gang's son needed to have surgery immediately, but the hospital didn't have a microscope, he wanted to borrow one to help his son with the surgery.

The factory manager agreed without any hesitation.

Bai Gang has worked at the factory for almost ten years. Every year, he works diligently to bring in business for the factory and sell its dairy products, which has helped the factory make a lot of money.

Now that Bai Gang's son needs the factory's help, the factory manager agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, the factory manager had a worker drive his personal car to the hospital.

The microscope arrived at the hospital just one hour later.

Upon receiving the message, Su Nuannuan glanced at her watch and spoke to a middle-aged man in a white coat beside her.

"There's still enough time, Dr. Zhao. Please arrange for someone to disinfect and sterilize the microscope immediately."

This man's name is Zhao Hexi, and he is the most skilled surgeon in this hospital.

Hearing that someone at the hospital was going to have a finger replantation surgery, Zhao Hexi was most interested.

His grandfather was among the first batch of medical students to return from studying abroad. He learned advanced clinical medicine and surgical techniques overseas and was quite well-known in China.

My father upheld his father's aspirations and carried forward the cause of clinical medicine. By his time, he was the third generation in the family to study Western medicine.

However, compared to his grandfather and father, his skills were far inferior. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up working as a doctor in this small county hospital.

The Zhao family is not the type to use connections to get their children into higher positions.

Therefore, when Zhao Hexi was working, his father and grandfather did not offer any assistance. In the eyes of the two elders, without profound medical skills, one would not be worthy of one's position.

Zhao Hexi did not object to his father's and grandfather's arrangements.

He didn't want to bring shame to the Zhao family's traditions because of himself.

Although he worked as a doctor in a small county town, he studied every day and was very strict with himself. Gradually, he became a living advertisement for surgical procedures in the hospital.

When Zhao Hexi learned that Su Nuannuan was going to have her finger replanted, he was the first person besides Huang Yuan to apply to observe and learn from her.

However, he was chosen by the old dean to be Su Nuannuan's assistant.

After receiving the notification, Zhao Hexi hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

Zhao Hexi, who originally came with the intention of learning, did not expect to see Su Nuannuan, who was even younger than his own child.

When Zhao Hexi first saw Su Nuannuan, he thought he had gone to the wrong room.

He didn't believe that Su Nuannuan was the surgeon who performed the finger replantation surgery; he just thought she was some doctor's child visiting the hospital.

However, Huang Yuan's introduction dispelled Zhao Hexi's illusions.

It wasn't that he didn't believe her, but Su Nuannuan was simply too young, both in appearance and in actual age.

However, after Su Nuannuan and Zhao Hexi discussed the process of finger replantation surgery, Zhao Hexi believed that Su Nuannuan would perform the finger replantation surgery.

Then, Su Nuannuan's series of efficient surgical arrangements further deepened Zhao Hexi's trust in her. Upon hearing the task Su Nuannuan assigned, Zhao Hexi showed no airs of a senior and readily agreed.

After rigorous disinfection and sterilization, the microscope was finally pushed into the operating room.

Standing next to Su Nuannuan were Zhao Hexi and several nurses with extensive surgical experience.

Su Nuannuan's expression had changed drastically. She was wearing a mask, so her expression was not visible, but her focused eyes immediately drew everyone's attention to the little boy on the hospital bed.

As Bai Mengchen was being wheeled into the operating room, the little boy woke up from his coma.

His first reaction was to loudly complain, and the nurses around him tried to comfort him for a long time. When Su Nuannuan saw the time for the surgery, she asked Zhao Hexi to give Bai Mengchen anesthesia.

In this way, Su Nuannuan can have the surgery with peace of mind.

Bai Mengchen's severed finger had no soft tissue connecting it; it was a complete severed finger.

Before the surgery, Su Nuannuan first had to thoroughly clean the severed finger and the wound.

The purpose of thorough debridement is to remove all blood and dirt from the wound and expose the location of bones, blood vessels, nerves, and tendons for later suturing.

Fortunately, the severed finger was preserved according to his own requirements and was not soaked in any liquid during the process.

Su Nuannuan cleaned the wound accurately and quickly without damaging any tissue.

As Su Nuannuan began cleaning her wound, Zhao Hexi and Huang Yuan kept their eyes glued to each other's movements.

Debridement is the most common and simplest surgical technique. However, this simplest step often tests a surgeon's skill the most.

If the wound is not thoroughly cleaned, even if the surgery is performed perfectly, there is still a risk of infection later on.

Therefore, experienced surgeons place the utmost importance on the debridement step.

Su Nuannuan's clean and efficient movements, almost textbook-perfect, drew admiration from Zhao Hexi and Huang Yuan.

However, the most important thing right now is Su Nuannuan's surgery. The two of them composed themselves and did not make a sound.

After the wound was cleaned, Su Nuannuan said to the nurse beside her.

Tourniquet.

The nurse was very experienced; as soon as Su Nuannuan finished speaking, the tourniquet was handed to her.

After the wound was cleaned, Bai Mengchen's wound began to bleed. Su Nuannuan applied a tourniquet to it.

Next, they would enter the main stage of the finger replantation surgery. Zhao Hexi and Huang Yuan's gazes became even more focused.

If they were watching with appreciation before, now they are studying intently.

Su Nuannuan first repositioned and fixed the fractured and dislocated bone.

Thanks to Su Nuannuan's extraordinary mental perception, she immediately located the exact position.

Zhao Hexi and Huang Yuan were dumbfounded.

This is too fast!

The exact location was found in less than a minute.

Zhao Hexi and Huang Yuan subconsciously looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Although neither of them would undergo finger replantation surgery, they had some understanding of the procedure.

Similar to other surgeries, finding the precise location and repositioning completely separated bones as quickly as Su Nuannuan did is an extremely difficult task.

Zhao Hexi and Huang Yuan admitted that they couldn't do that now.

The two were now even more convinced that Su Nuannuan's surgery would be successful.
