When the Doctor Uses A Hack

There were no surgeries scheduled for the morning, and Chen Cang had just arranged a noon surgery with Guo Cheng from City Hospital No.8 when he suddenly received a system prompt!

[Ding! Favorability from Li Jianwei +5.]

[Ding! Favorability from Zhang Youfu +5.]

[Ding! Favorability from Tao Zi +5.]

Chen Cang was somewhat bewildered. What on earth were these prominent figures discussing now?

The influx of favorability left Chen Cang somewhat astonished.

What was the use of this favorability after all!

It was driving me crazy!

Just then, Chen Cang’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID; there was no name saved, but it was a number from Anyang City, so he decided to answer it.

“Hello? Good afternoon!”

As soon as the call connected, the voice on the other end was urgent, saying anxiously, “Is that you, Chen? This is Tan Zhonglin!”

It then dawned on Chen Cang that it was the director of the hand surgery department at the Provincial People’s Hospital, Director Tan Zhonglin.

“Director Tan, good afternoon.”

Tan Zhonglin wasn’t concerned that Chen Cang hadn’t saved his number; instead, he said in a rush, “Chen, hurry over to the Provincial People’s Hospital. We need your help with a surgery here. It’s a finger reattachment procedure, but the tendon damage is very severe, and I’m not confident about it. Please come and help out.”

After listening, Chen Cang nodded immediately: “Alright, Director Tan, please wait a moment, I’ll be right there!”

Tan Zhonglin shook his head: “No need to wait, the police car is already on its way. Just take the squad car over. The patient is… an old acquaintance, Zhang Keqin!”

[Ding! Rescue mission triggered, assist Tan Zhonglin in completing the finger replantation surgery for Zhang Keqin, achieve a tendon repair that satisfies everyone, and select any one of Tan Zhonglin’s basic skills.]

Chen Cang immediately realized!

The former captain of the criminal police, Zhang Keqin.

Before Chen Cang could hang up, the police siren was already sounding.

Chen Cang turned around to find that his office was empty.

Shi Na had gone to make her rounds, and the on-duty Wang Qian was dealing with patients.

At that moment, a young man dressed in a police uniform rushed in, flustered: “Doctor Chen! Where is Doctor Chen?”

Chen Cang immediately ran out and said to the young man, “Xiao Lin, I’m heading to the Provincial People’s Hospital, please inform the director when I return.”

The young officer’s face was a picture of panic and urgency, his complexion pale: “Doctor Chen, our captain… please, you must help him…”

Chen Cang interrupted the young man with a nod and said, “I know, let’s go. You drive!”

The young officer drove very fast, his temples sweaty, yet he still kept pleading with Chen Cang.

“Doctor Chen, please, you must save our captain. I’ve heard that you healed Wu Gang’s hand, even though it was so severely injured. Our captain…”

It took less than twenty minutes to reach the Provincial People’s Hospital, which was much larger in scale compared to the Second Provincial Hospital.

Tan Zhonglin had already started the surgery. Chen Cang rushed directly to the operating room, where a nurse was waiting at the entrance.

After the nurse helped Chen Cang get dressed, he entered the operating room and saw that Zhang Keqin was already on the operating table!

Limb replantation is a surgery that is quite representative of microsurgery and hand surgery.

Compared to other surgical procedures, finger replantation is actually a technique where our country is relatively advanced.

It began flourishing in the 1950s and 1960s and developed extremely rapidly!

The key to finger replantation lies in the suturing of tendons, blood vessels, and nerves.

You could understand it like this: the reattached bone ensures the restoration of form, but ultimately, the recovery depends on the condition of blood vessels, nerves, and tendons!

After all, blood circulation is the energy that sustains life, and its patency is directly linked to the success rate of finger replantation!

The suturing of tendons and nerves, then, is tantamount to ensuring the restoration of function.

The higher the precision of the tendon and nerve sutures, the better the success rate, and potentially, in the long run, it can lead to a satisfactory recovery, even allowing for a return to normal life and work.

Tan Zhonglin saw Chen Cang arrive and his eyes immediately brightened, “You’re here!”

After speaking, Tan Zhonglin said to everyone, “This is the doctor from the surgical video I showed you last time!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up instantly!

As for Chen Cang, they didn’t know who he was, but the video of the tendon suture had already become a classic teaching piece for the hand surgery department of the Provincial People’s Hospital.

For a moment, curiosity shone in everyone’s eyes, Who is this person? How could he complete a tendon suture with such low adhesion?

Chen Cang nodded slightly to everyone, but when Zhang Keqin saw Chen Cang arriving, he actually smiled broadly, “Doctor Chen, long time no see!”

Chen Cang was silent,

He could still smile at this time…

Since the reattachment of the amputated finger involved anesthetizing the brachial plexus, Zhang Keqin was still very lucid. Looking at his state, he seemed quite curious about his own surgery, as if he was eager to get up and see how exactly they were performing the operation!

Zhang Keqin was a typical burly northern man, tall and strong, with a square face that exuded authority.

Chen Cang turned around and was immediately taken aback.

The index finger was cut off cleanly at the base!

How severe was that?

Tan Zhonglin turned to Chen Cang, “Are you ready? Everyone is waiting for you!”

Chen Cang nodded.

In reattaching the amputated finger, the first thing to be sutured is the tendon, followed by the blood vessels, and then the nerves.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Cang took the tweezers and began to carefully examine the situation.

The severed end of the index finger was at the base, but the cut was not clean or even.

The superficial flexor tendon of the finger had been damaged, and so had the deep flexor tendon!

Similarly, the extensor tendon of the finger sustained serious damage!

The patient’s situation was dire!

Tan Zhonglin couldn’t help but ask, “How does it look? Are you confident?”

Zhang Keqin laughed, “No worries, missing a finger doesn’t matter!”

Chen Cang couldn’t help but say, “No problem.”

Everyone sighed.

How could there be no problem?

The extension function of the finger is more complex compared to its flexion function; it involves both the extrinsic muscles of the hand as well as the intrinsic muscles of the tendons. Only a very clever distribution and coordination between the two can allow for normal finger extension.

Everyone thought Chen Cang was just comforting Zhang Keqin, and even Tan Zhonglin couldn’t help but sigh.

The reason they called Chen Cang was that Tan himself couldn’t do a good job of suturing.

He couldn’t guarantee it!

And the only person Tan Zhonglin believed could possibly exceed his own suture level within Dongyang Province was one person, and that was Little Chen!

Chen Cang!

He had placed his hopes on Chen Cang this time.

Even he felt somewhat ashamed.

Chen Cang turned to the instrument nurse and said, “Number 3 silk thread!”

Everyone was taken aback, Chen Cang wanted to suture the extensor tendon first?

This was more difficult than suturing the flexor tendon first.

Chen Cang took the silk thread, took a deep breath, and his eyes started to constantly think about how to choose the right suturing technique.

In this situation, the central part of the extensor tendon as well as the side bands should be sutured at the same time, which would definitely increase the difficulty of the work..
