When the Doctor Uses A Hack

The surrounding doctors glanced at Gong Daizhen.

They wanted Director Gong to put this pretentious guy in his place.

They had performed surgeries for so many years, yet this was the first time they had heard the term "soulless surgery."

Gong Daizhen coughed lightly, using her eyes to calm everyone down.

She looked at Chen Cang with some hesitation.

She had no idea what a soulless surgery even meant...

Not just Gong Daizhen.

Even the people in the office outside were hearing about "soulful surgery" for the first time.

They exchanged puzzled glances and all turned to look at Tan Jishan.

Tan Jishan's face turned red. "It probably means surgical skills that are extraordinary, like adding the finishing touch?"

He didn't understand it either!

Where would he have heard such a bizarre term?

...

Chen Cang hesitated for a moment before quickly making up his mind. He reached out for the scalpel and tissue forceps.

Chen Cang began making a gentle incision on the face. The cut couldn't be too large; it needed to separate the blood vessels just right.

Before the surgery began, Chen Cang had to carefully select the supplying blood vessels.

Chen Cang chose the trochlear artery and the medial canthus artery.

Their positions and vascular structures were perfect.

Then Chen Cang quickly said, "Retrieve the flap!"

Gong Daizhen immediately nodded.

At this stage, the two blood vessels would serve as the pedicle to provide nurturing "affection" for the transplanted flap.

The facial blood vessels and nerves were particularly fine.

Thus, when handling them, Chen Cang needed to wear magnifying glasses to work with greater precision.

Reconstructive surgery lacked a foundation, meaning everything had to be done from scratch by Chen Cang.

The nasal cartilage came from a donor.

Under normal circumstances, alar reconstruction uses composite tissue flaps, and fixation requires layer-by-layer techniques.

The materials were even harvested from the ear!

But in this case, the patient required allogeneic transplantation, and Chen Cang began pondering a question.

Should he directly use allograft coverage?

Or...

Should he separate it step by step?

Direct allogeneic transplantation would be much easier, and the operation wouldn't take long.

However, there was a significant problem: the distribution of the donor's facial tissues differed from the patient's. Once covered, potential issues could arise, like color mismatches.

There could even be noticeable bulges or depressions.

That would be visually unappealing!

After some hesitation, Chen Cang gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision!

"Separate the flap!"

Gong Daizhen was stunned!

"But hasn't it already been separated?"

Chen Cang shook his head. "Continue separating."

At this moment, Chen Cang reached for scissors and dissecting forceps. After securing his magnifying glasses, he began skillfully separating the tissue.

Chen Cang needed to further separate the donor flap.

This separation had to be done while maintaining blood supply.

This requirement elevated the surgery to an entirely new level of complexity.

Gong Daizhen glanced at Chen Cang and immediately understood his intentions.

But…

Doing so would make the surgery extraordinarily difficult!

As everyone outside watched with wide-eyed curiosity, Chen Cang cautiously separated the flap. At this phase, damage to the vascular structures was absolutely off-limits.

Otherwise, it would directly impact post-repair skin color consistency.

Chen Cang had to admit—finding such a suitable donor wasn't easy. It must have taken immense effort.

Minute by minute, time passed.

Chen Cang methodically and carefully worked on the procedure.

At last, the flap was successfully separated, and Gong Daizhen held it securely.

At this point, Chen began reconstructing the nasal cartilage and surrounding tissue.

The difficulty of this part might not have been too severe.

But executing it well required unparalleled precision.

Chen Cang meticulously separated the composite tissue flap, step by step.

He continually sought perfection in every aspect of the surgery.

The design of the nasal tip height!

The design of nasal length!

The proportions of nasal width and length…

At this moment, did Chen Cang still look like a doctor?

His demands for angles and dimensions were almost obsessive.

Every measurement had to be accounted for with care.

The nasolabial angle: 90°!

The nasofacial angle: 30°!

The nasofrontal angle: 120°!

These angle choices were nearly perfect and would significantly contribute to future aesthetic adjustments.

The nasal length-to-width ratio was 1:0.7, with nasal width occupying one-fifth of the mid-face…

In Chen Cang's eyes, countless lines were shifting and transforming.

In this environment, Chen Cang sought the best possible angles.

To others, this scene appeared almost obsessive and manic.

Nobody could understand why Chen Cang was doing this!

Why was he spending so much time handling these details?

Only Gong Daizhen furrowed her brow in thought.

She seemed to realize something…

If her guess was correct, Chen Cang was designing the outer nose with unique aesthetic precision.

Perhaps this was what Chen Cang meant by soul?

What is soul?

Soul is the pursuit of excellence!

A soulful surgery might be about providing the patient with a meticulously crafted, one-of-a-kind solution.

Rather than a standardized, assembly-line surgery.

However, at this moment, the full picture was not yet apparent.

Only after the flap was covered and all procedures were completed could the true results emerge.

For now, anticipation took hold of Gong Daizhen.

Chen Cang spent an entire hour meticulously addressing these details.

It was almost obsessive.

Finally, when everything was done, Chen Cang lifted his head and stared at his work, deeply satisfied.

Next up was the suturing of the flap.

Even Chen Cang felt a sense of anticipation.

He couldn't wait to see what it would look like after the flap was sutured.

Meanwhile, outside the operating room, Li Kai was the most nervous.

After all…

It was Li Kai who had bragged about Chen Cang's skills.

If the surgery results were unimpressive—or even just average…

It would be a slap in the face.

Cosmetic surgery was like a magic show.

And Chen Cang had already set the stage for the magic.

Now, it was time to witness the moment of miracle!

Even Tan Jishan wanted to see what a soulful surgery was all about.

At this point, Chen Cang began performing the facial flap suturing.

The most critical aspect of facial suturing was scar management.

The longer the suture length and the more places sutured, the more visible scars would become.

Plus, there were inherent differences between donor and recipient skin.

Thus, suturing posed significant challenges.

However, Chen Cang's ingenious design made the flap alignment impeccable.

Moreover, Chen Cang's expertise in handling sutures ensured that every stitch was refined and seamless.

He cleverly used concealed methods involving the nasal alae and interior mucosa to complete the flap alignment.

Finally, the flap was fully secured!

Even Chen Cang himself was very satisfied!

"Flush with saline!"

Gong Daizhen quickly nodded.

She grabbed the saline and began rinsing.

However…

As soon as the saline was flushed…

Even Gong Daizhen froze!

She was stunned by Chen Cang's complete nasal reconstruction surgery.

This was too extraordinary!

This wasn't surgery!

This was art!

For a moment, Gong Daizhen's mind was filled with the phrase "soulful surgery"…
