Chapter 235 The Usefulness of Keen Observation (Bonus Chapter x5 for the Alliance Leader's Superb Daddy)

The anesthesiologist in the operating room began anesthetizing the mannequin.

The system NPC stood with his hands behind his back in front of the video reader, looking at the videos as if he were reading a fortune teller.

The only step omitted here is verifying patient information. Ji Xiang, having performed numerous surgeries in the system operating room, already knew this. Distinguishing between the inside and outside of the system operating room is crucial.

In real-life surgery, one should oppose verifying information to avoid cutting the wrong organ, just like Director Liu has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Scrubbing hands, laying out sheets, performing surgery.

After the mannequin is under general anesthesia, it is placed in a lateral decubitus position. The angle of the operating table is adjusted so that the middle part is raised and the affected kidney faces upward.

After the surgical area was disinfected, Ji Xiang stood in the assistant's position.

The system NPC makes three incisions on the waist of the simulated human. The first incision is 2cm above the ilium, the second incision is located at the lower edge of the ribs, and the third incision is on the side of the lumbar and back muscles. Each of the three incisions is about 1cm long, and a laparoscope is inserted.

Establish pneumoperitoneum.

Upon entering the abdominal cavity, Ji Xiang immediately discovered the difficulty of the surgery.

The renal dorsal membrane and peritoneum were severely adhered, and the laparoscopic surgery limited the field of vision, leaving almost no surgical field!

If Ji Xiang were to perform this surgery himself, even with his urological surgery skills at level 7 or above, it would be extremely difficult.

"Look, this is the tricky part." The system NPC pointed to the sticky area with pliers.

"I understand, teacher. The adhesions are more severe than I imagined; no wonder there were no reports of successful laparoscopic surgery until 1991."

"The adhesions in the reported surgery weren't that severe; it just provided a starting point," the system NPC said as it began blunt dissection.

Although it is laparoscopic surgery, where the surgeon manipulates laparoscopic forceps, which is a completely different concept from dissecting by hand, the system NPC's technique was extremely precise.

He could see that the dorsal membrane of the kidney and the peritoneum were fused together without any gap, but his forceps could always accurately find the gap.

Clamping, electrocautery, blunt dissection—no matter how difficult or how limited the field of vision, his surgery was performed step by step in an orderly and meticulous manner.

Twenty minutes later, the almost impossible task was completed by the system NPC right before Ji Xiang's eyes.

The system NPC locates the renal artery and vein on the dorsal side of the kidney and ligates them using specialized locks and forceps under laparoscopy.

The most difficult step is blunt dissection, after which the surgery becomes much faster.

After ligating the blood vessels, the system NPCs drastically cut and separate the tissues surrounding the kidneys, removing the fascia and ligaments connecting the kidneys, thus freeing the kidneys completely, and severing the ureter at the lowest end.

A 4cm incision was made in the abdominal wall to remove the kidney.

Rinse, suture, and the surgery is over.

Watching the entire surgery unfold smoothly and without any difficulty, Ji Xiang assessed his own skill level and felt that it would be extremely difficult for him to perform.

He estimated that all the NPCs in the system should be at level 9 in surgical skills, or even at the pinnacle.

"You do it now." The system NPC took off its gloves.

"it is good."

They sent out the mannequin for the first surgery and brought in the second mannequin.

The preliminary steps were exactly the same. After separating the adipose tissue, Ji Xiang saw that the peritoneum and renal dorsal membrane were stuck together.

Although his surgical skills were not as good as those of the system NPCs, they were still extremely high. He patiently separated the parts bit by bit, but a mistake still occurred in the process.

During one separation, Ji Xiang used slightly too much force, tearing the adhesion and causing a small capillary to bleed.

The surgical field suddenly became blurry.

"Here, you need to use the skill—Insightful Observation." The system NPC took the long hemostat and began to stop the bleeding, explaining the technical details to Ji Xiang.

Keen Observation – When using this skill, the resolution of the naked eye is improved, as are the resolution and refresh rate.

It was an active skill reward given by the system after Ji Xiang broke the record more than a hundred times in the Grand Competition.

Ji Xiang always thought it was needed for interventional surgery, but since the superselective grade 4 branch arteries, which are difficult to perform interventional surgery, were not used, they have remained idle.

If it weren't for the system NPC reminding him, Ji Xiang would have completely forgotten that this skill even existed.

I never imagined that such "high-end" skills could be used in non-invasive surgery.

"Look at the screen," the system NPC reminded.

Ji Xiang focused intently on the laparoscopic screen, while the system NPC began blunt dissection using two long hemostatic forceps.

The system NPC was made very slowly this time, with explanations provided as it was being created.

"Here, please use your skills throughout the entire process."

"Teacher, I need surgery points..." Ji Xiang said with a troubled expression.

Surgical training requires surgical points, which is a very expensive project that Ji Xiang cannot afford, even though he has little savings.

"Nonsense, why are you using your surgery points? Are you saving them to lay eggs?" the system NPC retorted.

As if a super-enhanced version of the "superior doctor's gaze" was falling on him, Ji Xiang stopped arguing and immediately used his active skill - Keen Observation.

As the skill was activated, the movements of the system NPCs on the screen began to lag, which had started to be smooth.

As he dissected the scene frame by frame, Ji Xiang became instantly engrossed.

So that's how it is!

In an instant, Ji Xiang understood what the system NPC meant.

In one frame, Ji Xiang could clearly see the capillaries buried in the connective tissue.

At the same time, the pliers in the system NPC's hand landed on the capillary, and the electric shock stopped the bleeding before the blood vessel was torn apart.

Prevention is better than cure; all preparations are done in advance. This is the difference between a system NPC and performing surgery yourself!

Although the consumption of surgery points was a bit much for Ji Xiang, he didn't have time to feel sorry for himself and focused on watching the system NPC's surgery.

Every time, the system NPCs can find the blood vessel in the blink of an eye and stop the bleeding in advance.

This skill is incredibly useful when used for blunt separation, completely exceeding Ji Xiang's previous "stereotypical" prejudices.

Whether or not one has keen insight, the difference in surgical skill levels is several levels. Ji Xiang is increasingly happy with each procedure; the improvement in technical skill certainly brings joy.

The surgery was completed smoothly once again.

After the surgery was completed, Ji Xiang sent the mannequin away without rushing to start the next surgery.

The skill timer has expired, but insights are flooding in like a tidal wave.

The system NPC didn't urge him either. He seemed to understand what Ji Xiang was thinking at this moment, and just waited patiently and quietly.

After a long time, Ji Xiang began to inquire about the technical details.

He has a high level of comprehension. Although Ji Xiang put all his free points into luck, his base attributes are still high, and he always gets to the heart of the matter.

The system NPC answered each of Ji Xiang's questions, and after a long period of thought, Ji Xiang began his next surgical training session.

After several surgeries, the system NPC said, "Go back first, come back later."

Ji Xiang was still not satisfied, but he respected the NPC's opinion and left the system operating room.
