Chapter 968: The Local Tycoon!

Full thoracoscopic homologous sequential bilateral lung transplant surgery!

What a resounding name, yet the professional term may seem obscure and cumbersome to understand. Translated into layman's language, it's quite easy to comprehend: full thoracoscopic means that the entire operation is performed under a thoracoscope, with the thoracoscope not just partially aiding but playing a major role throughout the surgery.

Homologous heterograft indicates that the organ donor belongs to the human species and that the organ isn't from the patient's own body but provided by someone else. If a pig's organ is transplanted into a human, it's called xenotransplantation, while transplanting a patient's own organ back into them is known as autotransplantation.

"Sequential" signifies that the two lungs are not transplanted at the same time but in a determined order.
