Chapter 287: Chapter 212: Turns Out My Son Is So Amazing

"This is textbook-level suturing!"

After suturing the tear shut, Wu Ting began a stunning maneuver.

Controlling the urinary catheter, he slowly injected air, causing the balloon to fill the entire wound tract.

Then, Wu Ting gave the thrilling orders:

"Director Luo, release the intestinal clamp occluding the hepatic blood flow..."

"Director Duan, begin observing for hemostasis..."

As Director Luo released the intestinal clamp, Director Duan watched with anticipation. After a moment, he announced excitedly:

"Dr. Wu, it’s a success! The patient’s bleeding has stopped!"

A thrill ran through Dean Liu. ’No wonder Dr. Wu arranged to have this recorded beforehand,’ he thought.

"Incredible! This is absolutely brilliant!"

"Dr. Wu, you’re a true genius!"

At that moment, it finally dawned on Dean Liu how Wu Ting’s technique worked.

The more he thought about it, the more he marveled at Wu Ting’s brilliance.

’No wonder Dr. Wu said this method could be adopted by local hospitals. It’s absolutely true!’

’A through-and-through liver injury is a particularly severe type of trauma. The wound tract is deep and often damages the larger intrahepatic blood vessels, leading to massive hemorrhaging. Controlling the bleeding is extremely tricky. If the wrong hemostasis method is used and the bleeding starts again, the patient’s life is easily put at risk.’

’Gauze packing gives decent immediate results, but it leads to numerous complications. When the gauze is removed, the patient suffers excruciating pain, and it can even cause re-bleeding. As for manual compression, the skill requirement for the technician is too high, making it difficult to perform in local hospitals.’

’But with Dr. Wu’s balloon tamponade method, a balloon is used instead of gauze packing. For one, the materials are easy to source...’

Hearing Dean Liu mention how easy the materials were to source, the young nurse standing by blushed beet-red. That was, in fact, the item she had planned on using during her lunch break...

Dean Liu continued his analysis:

’The balloon tamponade method is easy to perform, and the hemostasis is reliable. Furthermore, because the condom is soft, it won’t cause pressure necrosis in the surrounding tissue.’

’Second, the greater omentum wrapped around the balloon can quickly adhere to the surface of the wound tract in the liver. This not only controls the bleeding but also eliminates dead space, promoting healing.’

’Third, after deflation, the balloon isn’t immediately removed. It remains in the liver to act as a drain, allowing for observation of any potential re-bleeding.’

’Fourth, the balloon’s surface is smooth. Once deflated, it becomes limp and loose. The portions both inside and outside the liver form a straight line, making it easy to remove... This drastically reduces the excruciating pain for the patient during removal.’

’Fifth, because the wound tract is thoroughly flushed during the surgery, the chances of intrahepatic and intra-abdominal infection are reduced.’

The more Dean Liu analyzed the procedure, the more impressed he became.

’Incredible. Absolutely incredible.’

Director Duan, who was standing by, also seized the opportunity to add:

"Most importantly, Dr. Wu’s balloon tamponade method has a short operative time, is extremely low-cost, and promotes the patient’s recovery. It’s especially suitable for local hospitals!"

Indeed. Hearing about this key advantage, both Dean Liu and Director Luo felt that while this technique might not be considered sophisticated enough for a major hospital, for a local hospital, it was absolutely perfect.

For Huang Liangyu, it would also directly save him tens of thousands in specialist fees.

After Wu Ting demonstrated it just once, given the technique’s level of difficulty, the directors at the county hospital would be able to master it with practice.

The directors praised him for a moment before settling down to continue observing Wu Ting’s surgery.

With the bleeding perfectly controlled, the successful outcome of the surgery was all but guaranteed, and everyone finally relaxed.

From there, it was a matter of following standard procedure.

Wu Ting resumed his textbook-level performance.

The remaining steps of the procedure were, at last, conventional ones.

And the more classic the techniques, the more they showcased Wu Ting’s solid grasp of the fundamentals.

As senior directors in the field of surgery, while Dean Liu and Director Luo’s own skills were mediocre, they had been to higher-level hospitals and seen plenty of top surgeons operate.

By comparison, Wu Ting’s clinical skills were the best they had ever witnessed.

When he thought of Director You Wei, Dean Liu was certain that in emergency treatment for massive hemorrhage from a liver rupture, common bile duct suturing, and partial hepatectomies, Wu Ting’s skill was a clear cut above!

And that wasn’t even mentioning the balloon tamponade hemostasis method that Wu Ting had tailor-made for local hospitals.

With You Wei’s arrogant and jealously guarded nature, he would never have the same vision or mindset as Wu Ting.

When they had collaborated with You Wei in the past, he had been extremely secretive about many key steps. He would never allow a teaching video to be filmed, much less think of passing on effective Surgical Techniques to local hospitals.

As Dean Liu watched Wu Ting operate, a sense of profound respect grew in his heart.

Though young, Wu Ting possessed the vision and bearing of a true master physician!

’To design a convenient, simple method specifically for local hospitals to control bleeding from an incredibly difficult injury like a massive hemorrhage from a through-and-through liver wound... what an amazing feat!’

’Creating a simple procedure that even a doctor with average skills can perform is far more impressive and respectable than the so-called experts and professors who rely on their own top-tier skills, advanced equipment, and exorbitant surgical fees!’

With this single surgery, Wu Ting had completely won over Dean Liu.

Director Duan’s face flushed with embarrassment as he offered Wu Ting a sincere apology:

"Dr. Wu, I sincerely apologize for my earlier attitude. I had no idea you were so skilled in the field of hepatic surgery. I thought you only specialized in laparoscopic appendectomies, cholecystectomies, and tendon repair."
