"Previous surgeries had been performed three times, there's bound to be adhesion and anatomical fuzziness, pay attention!"
Academician Wang's well-intentioned reminder that adhesion is the surgeon's worst enemy.
The pericardium is the heart's outer garment, enclosing the heart. Yang Ping adjusted the direction of the electric knife in his hand, and as a wisp of light smoke drifted into the suction tube, followed by a sizzling sound, the pericardium was opened, decisively and completely in one go.
A slight odor from the electrosurgery leaked out, which could be smelled even through the mask.
Academician Wang's experience seemed to be of little help to Yang Ping; even in the presence of adhesions, the electrosurgery cut without mercy, without hesitation or second thoughts, achieving it in one attempt, yet it was just right, only cutting through the pericardium, stopping at the surface of the epicardium.
