Up to now!
The surgery had actually completed less than one-third!
There was still a lot of work waiting for them.
Actually, acute traumatic diaphragm injury along with intra-abdominal injuries should be treated with simultaneous abdominal diaphragm repair surgery and injured organ management.
However, because diaphragm rupture and herniation do not pose an immediate threat to life, the focus remains on addressing the urgent massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage first.
Once all life-threatening factors had been dealt with, it was time for intestinal anastomosis. Not being particularly urgent, the abdominal and thoracic surgeries were conducted concurrently.
Originally, the surgery could be performed through the abdominal cavity, but Chen Cang suspected there were injuries to the internal organs and blood vessels within the chest cavity, necessitating a thoracic exploration.
Therefore, another incision had to be made in the chest, to handle it through the thoracic cavity!
