Lu Wenbin operated on the patient at a moderate pace.
Even until the end of the surgery, Zhu Qianli did not detect any obvious problem. There was a part where Lu Wenbin had to perform the end-to-end anastomosis of blood vessels, and he only took seven or eight minutes for it. After he removed the vascular clamps, no blood seeped out at all. Zhu Qianli was secretly astonished.
In the field of surgery, the end-to-end anastomosis of blood vessels could be said to be a mid-range basic maneuver. Surgeons would usually hook a surgical thread around the blood vessels and slowly tighten it until the blood vessels were closed.
Ordinary doctors would take around ten minutes to perform end-to-end anastomosis of large blood vessels. But like how people talked about how an ordinary Chinese citizen earned 10,000 RMB, this figure was neither the average nor the median. It was merely a figure everyone could accept.
