Kapitel 329: Porcupine

Huo Congjun attached a lot of importance to this surgery that Ling Ran was performing.

Because of this, even though Ling Ran was highly skilled, he still approached this surgery with reverence. Hence, he made an S-shaped incision which was as long as six inches. 

All the doctors, including Huo Congjun, were shocked. Doctors in more recent times were used to making smaller and smaller incisions. In the General Surgery Department, the doctors went from laparotomy to making small incisions, then to using a laparoscope. Even laparoscopy had evolved from needing five tiny incisions to needing only two.

Endoscopic surgery was starting to become a norm even when it came to complicated surgeries such as cardiothoracic surgeries. Hospitals were willing to invest in a da Vinci surgical robot that cost almost 10,000,000 RMB to be able to perform major surgeries by only making minor incisions as it would be valuable to the hospital, doctors, and patients.
