Seeing the task notification flash by, Liu Banxia was momentarily stunned, "Is it done already?"
This was his genuine feeling, as he thoroughly enjoyed the entire surgery, with a craving for more. In his heart, he wished the operation could last longer so he could keep enjoying it.
But when everyone else heard it, they found it somewhat infuriating.
"This kid, he finished such a complex surgery in less than an hour and a half," Jiang Tao muttered.
"Ah... the waves of the Yangtze River pushing forward, he’s really fast, and the surgical result is so good," Director Qiu said with a wry smile.
This also certified Jiang Tao’s prediction; the surgery indeed ended much earlier than expected.
Moreover, he didn’t miss a single step today, feeling that Liu Banxia’s operation was too smooth, almost remarkably so.
They are all respectable experts; his previous competition with Zhou Shuwen merely showed that he wasn’t as young as Zhou Shuwen.
The hospital needed to cultivate its core strength, which allowed Zhou Shuwen to succeed in advancing.
However, seeing Liu Banxia’s surgery today, he deemed both the entire operation process and the postoperative result impeccable.
Moreover, the TaTME operation under the TEM platform was truly powerful. Now, the patient is waking up, showing no signs of having just undergone surgery.
Because that’s the advantage of TaTME surgery—you don’t see the incision.
Honestly, he had to admit that regarding the effect of this surgery, he was inferior to Liu Banxia. In the operation of TaTME surgery, he was also inferior to Liu Banxia.
"Haha, are you awake? It’s good to hear, the surgery was very successful."
At this time, as the patient awoke, Liu Banxia gave them a thumbs-up while speaking.
"Ho..."
The patient responded vaguely.
"As I told you, just listen, the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. By the latter half of the night, you’ll recover somewhat. Just rest comfortably, and tomorrow morning after the examination, you can do some light exercise," Liu Banxia continued.
"The excised specimen has been shown to your family, no need to worry much. Now you’re truly clean and cleared. In less than eighteen years, with half to one year of care, you’ll be as good as new—back to whatever you wish to do."
The corners of the patient’s mouth twitched, seemingly wanting to smile but unable to manage the expression.
"Please help Xu Yino take the patient to the ward. Xu Yino will go over the precautions with you later, which differ from those for laparoscopic patients," Liu Banxia instructed the interns from the inpatient department nearby.
"Teacher Liu, don’t worry," one nearby intern replied happily.
Liu Banxia nodded, "If you’re interested, you can learn more from Xu Yino. Anyway, she’s quite talkative, and whatever you wish to learn, you must have a comprehensive understanding first."
"If you act rashly, the result may only be a fleeting interest. For us in medical fields, mastering any technique requires perseverance and dedication."
The young man nodded happily, clearly pleased.
"Ah, no wonder Wang Lei has a love-hate relationship with you during our chats," the anesthesiologist Ding Shaoyuan remarked.
"Teacher Ding, did Comrade Old Wang badmouth me?" Liu Banxia laughed.
"Indeed, he likes joining your surgeries because you work fast, saving him extra fatigue," Ding Shaoyuan laughed.
"But, oh man, once you start a surgery, you get kind of crazy, and who knows how many you’ll handle. Plus, with the emergency center’s urgent surgeries, he’s always rushing to or just arriving in the operating room daily."
"Teacher Ding, that’s called ’the able do more work.’ Recently, while chatting, he mentioned if he could’ve had an additional year of medical training under you, he wouldn’t be as exhausted now," Liu Banxia remarked.
"He’s learned everything he needed over the years. The rest relies on his experience in practice since each patient differs slightly, demanding more precise medication choices," Ding Shaoyuan said.
"However, I heard from Chief Director Zhou that he holds your emergency center’s anesthesia department in high regard, with impressive internal staff and qualified external hires."
Liu Banxia nodded, "Indeed, as a chief surgeon, working with familiar anesthesiologists in surgery gives us solid assurance."
"There might be many unexpected situations during surgery. The most worrisome is the sudden drop in the patient’s vital signs. If the anesthesiologist reacts slowly, some medications might not be administered promptly."
"Recently, we’ve had a few more surgeries, and for those scheduled by the inpatient department, you’ll need to bring your own anesthesiologist. The current admissions volume is too high, and there’s been a significant increase in emergency patients."
"It’s no problem; we’re all in this field, so we understand," Ding Shaoyuan said with a smile.
"Old Ding, Banxia, have you finished your conversation? Hurry out, let’s have a chat together," Jiang Tao shouted from the observation room.
"Director Jiang, I thought you had left. Is there something you need?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.
"There is something, definitely something. Hurry up and come out," Jiang Tao gestured.
Both of them didn’t hesitate, even if it was just casual conversation. After all, Jiang Tao is also a director-level figure, even if the anal-colorectal department currently can’t compare to the general surgery department.
"Just now, Director Qiu and I thoroughly enjoyed watching your surgery. Kiddo, it’s been such a short time since I last saw you operate, and you’ve improved so much. It makes us envious."
After the two walked into the general surgery office, Jiang Tao said.
"Director Jiang, why are you praising me like this? I’m not that amazing," Liu Banxia said with a wry smile.
"I’ve just spent more time on the NOSES system lately. Besides emergency surgeries that I occasionally assist with, all other surgeries are handled by others, and I only focus on NOSES."
"What else can you do? Can’t you give us a break?" Even Director Qiu jokingly commented.
"Watching this surgery was truly enlightening. Not only was the operation fast, but your grasp of the technique was so solid, clean, and efficient."
"I noticed some of the young ones were drawn to your operation. If they really want to learn, they’ll need to adjust their schedules seriously in the future."
"We can’t afford to fall too far behind here. Whether it’s small incision appendectomy or NOSES surgery, I’m considering both."
"Also, let’s give these young people a chance. If we can cultivate some good seedlings, we won’t have to worry about our backup forces in the future."
"Director Qiu, don’t worry about this. I’ll send you my surgery plans, and you can plan it accordingly," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Actually, right now, we’re just casting a wide net, and I’m not sure how many good catches we’ll end up with. Some interns at our emergency center have even given up on learning the procedures of this surgery."
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said what I did in the operating room earlier. There’s still a lot of difficulty in the operational process. The coordination between mind and hand requires long-term practice, and some may not be able to endure this hardship."
"We surgeons often rely on how much talent fate allows us to have," Jiang Tao chimed in.
"In the same surgery, those with skillful hands perform better, which is something everyone in the field knows. You’ve got such skillful hands, and your growth over the past year has been rapid."
"This is you praising me again. Actually, I’m quite specialized now. But since we’re promoting the NOSES surgical system, that has to be the focus," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Kiddo, if you keep being humble, that’s just insincere. You deserve the praise; just ask Old Ding and Director Qiu," Jiang Tao said.
Director Qiu and Ding Shaoyuan nodded in agreement; Liu Banxia’s skills were fully demonstrated through this surgery.
Specialty expertise, the accomplished should lead.
Even though Liu Banxia is still young, his current skill level is fully on par with the rest, which is a recognition of Liu Banxia’s abilities.
This surprised the other doctors in the general surgery department, as they never expected Liu Banxia to have such high regard among the directors.
Literature has no first, martial arts no second, and indeed, it’s the same for surgical procedures.
To truly get others to acknowledge that the surgery was done well, it’s not just lip service but requires genuine capability.
Liu Banxia has achieved this level of accomplishment so quickly after leaving the general surgery department of the inpatient unit; it’s truly impressive.
The four of them chatted for a while longer, and once Xu Yino and Su Wenhao arrived, Liu Banxia and the others left.
Everything that needed to be said was said, and attitudes were expressed. Liu Banxia still had to go back and summarize the "experience" from this surgery.
This is the benefit of consolidation, allowing oneself to immerse in surgery more quickly and focus more intently.
Although this state existed before, it was quite rare.
Even he unconsciously completed the operation, so imagine what those watching felt.
He’s truly more eager now, hoping if he consolidates all attributes once more, even to the current level, it might bring another monumental change.
And he didn’t feel any fatigue during this surgery.
Being mentally focused but not excessively tense reduces physical exertion. This is also the impact between attributes—it’s correct to prioritize mental consolidation first.
