Once Ling Ran started on a surgery, he would be extremely focused.
The average surgery time for an Achilles tendon repair surgery was very short. For example, the five surgeries that he performed the night before and the other two surgeries he performed early in the morning amounted to a total of seven surgeries. That did not even take seven hours to complete.
Naturally, the duration for each surgery would be slightly longer if preoperative preparations and postoperative sutures were included. However, Ling Ran's participation in those phases was not compulsory. Only when anesthesia was about to be performed would Ling Ran enter the operating theater.
His main job only started when the incision began.
"Retract the skin." Ling Ran threw away the scalpel. Then, he along with Ji Tianlu retracted Liu Weichen's epidermis.
