Chapter 619: Splitting the Sternum with Bare Hands, an Unorthodox Way of Opening the Chest!

"This..."

Seeing that Lin Yi was in charge of the operation, he began the preparation process that was usually handed over to the first assistant surgeon.

Zhong Xibei and Lu Chenxi blushed in embarrassment and dared not argue in front of the focused Lin Yi.

"Fang Xiaoran, move back!"

Lu Chenxi decisively retreated behind Zhong Xibei and ordered Fang Xiaoran, who was standing next to Zhong Xibei and was in the position of the second assistant surgeon, to move out of the way.

At this point, facing Director Zhong's resolute attitude, Lu Chenxi certainly could not force the position of the first assistant surgeon.

As a second choice, becoming the second assistant surgeon has become the next inevitable choice.

Although it is a little far from Lin Yi, there is no problem in witnessing the entire operation...

"I..."

"You are fighting like gods, why do you accidentally hurt a mortal like me who is watching the excitement!"

"This teacher Lu is here at the wrong time..."

Although Fang Xiaoran was unwilling and resentful in his heart, he had to pout and move in small steps to move out of the position of the second assistant surgeon.

She is not Zhong Xibei, who dares to talk about the so-called great principles with Lu Chenxi, the female version of Bao Qingtian...

"Electric saw, prepare the dilator..."

As soon as Lu Chenxi stood in the position of the second assistant, Zhong Xibei's tool preparation orders came one after another.

According to the preliminary process of normal thoracotomy, the skin and subcutaneous tissue are cut open, and then the sternal attachment of the sternothyroid muscle and the loose connective tissue behind the sternum are peeled off.

Finally, the sternum is split open, the sternum is stretched open, and the surgical field is exposed...

However, the normal doctor's concept of time is completely inapplicable to Lin Yi.

Just when Lin Yi's knife reached the deepest part of the patient's subcutaneous tissue, Zhong Xibei, as the first assistant, had to prepare the next surgical tools in advance.

Otherwise, it is very likely that he will not be able to keep up with Lin Yi's surgical rhythm...

"No need for electric saw, give me a larger scalpel."

Lin Yi, who was about to complete the cutting of the subcutaneous tissue, gave an order that caught all the medical staff in the operating room by surprise without raising his head.

"A bigger scalpel?"

Zhong Xibei was stunned, as if he hadn't followed Lin Yi's instructions.

The No. 15 scalpel used in thoracotomy is already a larger scalpel.

Due to the longer blade, the doctor can better control the blade during the operation, and it is also the most suitable scalpel for heart surgery.

Now Lin Yi needs a larger scalpel, what is it for? Zhong Xibei really can't figure it out...

"No. 20 scalpel!"

Lu Chenxi, who also didn't understand Lin Yi's purpose, chose to trust Lin Yi without hesitation.

He immediately took the No. 20 scalpel with a wider blade, suitable for larger incision surgery, from the instrument nurse and handed it to Lin Yi who had already stretched out his hand...

"No way?"

"Could it be that Lin Yi wants to use a scalpel instead of an electric saw to split the patient's sternum!"

"How is this possible..."

"How much force does it take to cut the patient's sternum with bare hands?"

"Even a butcher who splits bones every day probably doesn't have such a lot of strength and such a precise way of using force..."

Because Lin Yi's hands moved very quickly.

It was not until the other party stopped and took the No. 20 scalpel handed over by Lu Chenxi that the medical staff in the operating room clearly saw that the patient's subcutaneous tissue had been cut cleanly at this time.

According to the most conventional surgical procedure, the next step must be to split the sternum with an electric saw.

Now Lin Yi, however, did not use the most commonly used electric saw to open the chest, but instead changed to a larger scalpel.

All medical staff had to think of using a scalpel to split the sternum, the most unorthodox way to open the chest...

"Lin... Lin Yi, why don't we use an electric saw to open the chest?"

"This method of using a scalpel to split the sternum is not very common."

"If you don't control the strength well, it is easy to cause damage to the various tissues in the patient's chest cavity..."

Watching Lin Yi take the No. 20 scalpel and press it to the center of the patient's chest without thinking.

Zhong Xibei, with a black face, had to hurriedly remind Lin Yi carefully.

However, this situation is not common, and normal doctors dare not even think about it.

Lin Yi's unexpected move even made Zhong Xibei, who was trying to persuade him, not know how to phrase it specifically...

"Lin Yi, is this another... another groundbreaking new way to open the chest?"

"Has the safety been verified..."

Imaginations are imaginations.

When Lu Chenxi really saw Lin Yi holding a scalpel and about to split the sternum, he couldn't help but remind him in horror.

It was a groundbreaking new way to open the chest. This was definitely something Lu Chenxi came up with on the spur of the moment to beautify Lin Yi's behavior.

Lu Chenxi, who was very familiar with open-chest surgery, had never heard of the possibility of splitting the sternum with a scalpel.

Even if Lin Yi was extremely strong and split the patient's sternum in this shocking way.

Other normal doctors would not have any chance of learning this skill.

Moreover, Lu Chenxi did not believe that a normal person could split the patient's sternum with a scalpel.

The connection between the two ribs was no longer fragile, it was also bone.

Can the hardness of bones be compared with the softness of skin...

"It's okay, it will be fine soon..."

Lin Yi didn't even raise his head, and casually perfunctorily said to Zhong Xibei and the others.

The No. 20 scalpel in his hand has been firmly moving along the connection between the patient's ribs.

Compared to using an electric saw, Lin Yi's physique has exceeded the 100 critical value of ordinary people, up to 112 points.

He still prefers to use a scalpel to open the chest, and obtain a faster and smoother sternal section than an electric saw.

This not only saves some surgical time, but also helps the patient heal quickly after surgery because of the smooth incision...

"Will this work?"

"It feels like this guy doesn't use any strength at all, and he can just split the patient's sternum!"

"No, if he can't split it, what is Lin Yi doing?"

"You can't prepare to grind it inch by inch, it's time-consuming and laborious and completely unnecessary!"

"Don't tell me that Lin Yi is going to use the hidden power in martial arts novels to shake the patient's sternum..."

No matter Zhong Xibei, Lu Chenxi, or all the medical staff in the operating room.

After not seeing the imagined action of Lin Yi chopping the patient's sternum, I was still unsatisfied, and my mind was full of question marks.

Although the scalpel is sharp, it is also extremely light.

If you want to cut the hardest bone in the human body with a scalpel, you can't use the method of cutting the skin.

If you have outstanding strength, similar to the action of chopping wood, you can split the sternum with great force, and there is still a little possibility.

Lin Yi was not interested in using it, and continued to cut the skin on the sternum, which made all the medical staff obviously confused...

"Sternum expander..."

Just when everyone was wondering about the real purpose of Lin Yi's useless work, Lin Yi threw the scalpel into the tray.

He reached out and issued a command to use the chest expander...
