Chapter 276: Chapter 209: The Director and the CEO Come to His Aid

Director Huo noticed some issues with the force and angle of his hands and made timely adjustments.

Director Huo was very experienced, though his energy and stamina were beginning to wane. This time, however, the auxiliary system saved him a great deal of effort and mental processing time. The entire operation flowed much more smoothly and felt far easier as a result.

This also extended his period of focus. Director Huo transected the left hepatic duct 1.0 cm from the tumor margin. Guided by the smart resection prompts and combining them with his own experience, he completed the distal incision of the hepatic duct and used traction sutures as markers.

He then retracted the proximal end to the right and flipped it over to facilitate the dissection of the right side of the hepatic portal.

"Beautiful!"

Qin Donglai couldn’t help but exclaim in praise. It was as if he were once again seeing Director Huo in his prime.

After performing a few more maneuvers and completing his part, Director Huo handed the lead surgeon’s position back to Wu Ting.

Wu Ting resumed with the subsequent steps:

Transecting the branches from the sagittal part of the portal vein to the left medial segment of the liver, along with their accompanying bile ducts and blood vessels...

Dissecting and cutting the triangular and coronary ligaments of the right lobe...

Mobilizing the right lobe of the liver and dissecting it toward the left...

Perfectly separating the adhesions between the right adrenal gland and the liver...

Then, he addressed the hepatic veins, putting on a show with his masterful suturing technique...

Finally, he completed the resection of the right hepatic lobe, part of the left medial segment, and the gallbladder!

Next, Director Huo took over as the lead surgeon, while Wu Ting began the auxiliary procedure for the immunomodulatory therapy.

The pathogenesis of gallbladder cancer differs from that of primary liver cancer caused by hepatitis B, so their corresponding immunotherapies are also different. Unlike the negative immunomodulatory mechanism for hepatitis B-related primary liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma uses conventional positive immunomodulation, which is a relatively more mature approach.

Drawing upon the immunomodulation theories of several top experts, Wu Ting completed the auxiliary procedure with ease.

After the main, core procedures were done, the closing work was handed over to Qin Donglai.

「Half an hour later.」

The entire operation was officially complete!

Watching this extraordinary surgery, Cai Qi, Huo Yun, and Qin Donglai were all deeply stirred, their minds unable to calm for a long time.

Wu Ting had truly earned his reputation, attracting the favor of so many top pharmaceutical companies and collaborative invitations from experts at home and abroad!

This incredibly difficult surgery carried many risks of complications, such as common bile duct injury, hepatic artery injury, postoperative bile leakage, obstructive jaundice, and damage to adjacent organs...

Even for senior directors like Huo Yun and Cai Qi, it was difficult to guarantee that such complications wouldn’t arise during or after surgery.

But today, using two of his own innovative auxiliary techniques, Wu Ting had essentially eliminated all of these potential complications.

All that remained was to provide postoperative care for the patient, which would be handled by the hepatobiliary surgery department.

In the operating room, the directors finally understood why Director Fu from Haijin Port and Dean Chen Bofeng from Xianglin City had recommended Wu Ting as the lead surgeon for this operation.

Who else could possibly have done it?

Outside the operating room, Tang Shengjie and Dean Tang waited anxiously.

After a long while, Huo Yun, Cai Qi, and Wu Ting finally walked out.

"How is my father?"

Tang Shengjie approached them, his voice filled with worry.

"The surgery was a great success!"

Director Huo gave a report on the patient’s condition, taking a moment to praise Wu Ting’s decisive role in the operation.

"Dr. Wu, thank you so, so much."

Tang Shengjie was overcome with gratitude, shaking Wu Ting’s hand excitedly.

Even as the head of the City Investment Company and the person in charge of the Fan City Mother Fund, in a situation like this, he was just an ordinary man.

Tang Shengjie exchanged contact information with Wu Ting and gave him his business card.

Wu Ting was pleasantly surprised when he saw President Tang’s titles, but he knew it wasn’t the right time to make contact.

"President Tang, you’re too kind."

Wu Ting’s contact list was already full of influential figures, so he remained calm and composed in the face of Tang Shengjie.

Tang Shengjie, in turn, sensed Wu Ting’s calm and poised demeanor. It was truly remarkable for a young man his age to possess such a steady mindset and ambition.

...

...

After the successful surgery and once the medical orders were written, Dean Tang called Wu Ting, Huo Yun, and Cai Qi into his office.

Dean Tang began by commending and thanking the core members of the surgical team.

Then, he brought up Wu Ting’s sensational performance at Jinggang University Medical College.

"Dr. Wu, congratulations! Director Huo, Director Cai, and I all watched the live stream of your lecture. It was magnificent!"

Huo Yun and Cai Qi similarly praised Wu Ting for his brilliant talent.

"Wu Ting, I happen to have some good news for you in advance. You published a paper in *Cell*, correct? According to our hospital’s policy, we reward publications in top SCI journals with 10,000 yuan for every point of impact factor. And since *Cell*’s impact factor is 61.957, the hospital is preparing to propose a commendation and a cash award for you at this month’s staff meeting!"

"Congratulations, Wu Ting. I hope you’ll continue to strive for excellence."

Dean Tang was full of expectations for the talented young man before him.

"610,000 yuan!"

Hearing such an astronomical cash reward, both Huo Yun and Cai Qi were in disbelief. Even they found themselves a bit envious. But on second thought, it seemed perfectly reasonable. A paper in *Cell*, after all!
