For the first time, Lu Gang can lie flat, have a normal person’s view, and stretch his body.

According to the sterility rules of the operating room, the patient’s bed can’t be brought in.

But this orthopedic bed, after being disinfected, was allowed in the operating room, and Lu Gang was transferred directly from the table to the Orthopedics bed.

He lay on the bed, his neck stabilized with a neck brace. Although the upper cervical spine was firmly fixed, a neck brace was still used for safety.

The doors of the operating room opened, and Lu Gang was wheeled out with everyone in sterile coats gathered around the bed, pushing it together.

Lu Gang’s mother had been waiting outside the door, and the moment it opened, she rushed over. After more than ten years, she finally saw her son’s face clearly.

“The surgery is over, and it was very successful. There are still two phases to get through post-op: infection and delayed paralysis.” Yang Ping explained to Lu Gang’s mother.

This had been mentioned pre-surgery, but it was being repeated as a reminder.

Lu Gang smiled at his mother: “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. When I wake up from sleep, the doctor will ask me to wiggle my toes. That’s when I’ll know the surgery was successful. When can I eat? I want you to steam five large buns for me.”

Liang Fatty, steadying the Orthopedics bed, replied: “You can eat six hours from now, but in the next few days, try to eat porridge. You can sit up after three days. If you don’t feel discomfort, you can try getting out of bed and walking. You can eat buns while watching TV.”

Everyone laughed, and Lu Gang’s mother joined in, but she couldn’t stop tears from rolling down her cheeks.

“It’s been hard. Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor!” His mother, while moving with Lu Gang back to the ward, kept expressing her gratitude.

The nurses in the ward were prepared, with thoracic and lumbar braces ready inside.

Due to osteoporosis, the reliability of all internal fixation is reduced, hence using braces to protect while standing or walking for some time is safer.

The bed was pushed to position number one, the emergency ward closest to the nurse station.

A few nurses smoothly connected the oxygen tube, ECG monitor, and positioned Lu Gang’s lower limbs in a slightly hip and knee flexed position.

A nurse started instructing Lu Gang’s mother about nursing care, while Dr. Che taught Lu Gang about lower limb muscle training and ankle pump exercise—early rehabilitation training after joint surgery is critically important.

Lu Gang transformed from a twisted state to a normal human being. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems, balance organs, central nervous system, and vision regulation system all needed to adapt anew.

Dr. Che employed his scientific rehabilitation knowledge, step by step, helping Lu Gang, who had amassed rich experience in special case rehabilitation in the course of Yu Shuilian’s rehabilitation.

The amount of blood lost during the surgery was limited—a total of 140ml. The prepared autologous blood transfusion system, suspended red blood cells, and frozen plasma did not need to be used.

Shorter surgery times resulted in shorter exposure and reduced chances of infection.

Considering the short half-life of prophylactic antibiotics, second-generation cephalosporins were used; Yang Ping instructed a dose of post-op antibiotics for Lu Gang.

Only when there is no infection, no occurrence of delayed spinal injury, will the surgery truly be considered successful. None of these steps can be neglected.

Professor Zhang and Director Han remained in the dressing room, their emotions yet to calm completely; they hadn’t fully recovered from the shock yet.

Driving so fast in a street full of people, but Yang Ping managed to weave between them all.

Between the two, they had over eighty years of medical experience, but neither could withstand such stimulation.

Schumacher was an award-winning Formula 1 racer, but even he would likely be unable to endure the thrill of a car racing at 360 kilometers per hour in the busy streets of Berlin.

“This joker, my clothes are drenched.”

“Way too fast, it’s frightening! Especially during neck osteotomy, particularly the upper cervical area. That’s a death trap. I can’t believe he dared to go so fast.”

“Pedicle screws in the cervical spine, placed like planting beans, one every ten seconds. It’s terrifying. Just a slight deviation can damage the vertebral artery in the transverse foramen, causing severe bleeding.”

A few ‘tops’ internationally have had such a case, where damaging the vertebral artery on the operating table led to the loss of over twelve liters of blood in half an hour. If not for blood transfusion and autologous reinfusion, the patient could not have survived.

“None of the screws were off.”

“How dare he correct and not reserve any leeway.”

“He calculated the deformation of the spine along with the corrective shaping, viewing the sequence of the shaping and osteotomy sites. While shaping, the deformation of the spine was accurately dispersed, reducing injuries to the minimum. This guy is meticulous when it comes to surgical planning.”

“Director Han, I am too old for this, my heart is still racing. Don’t inform me of such a surgery in the future; I will just review the X-rays after the operation.”

“I showed Professor Feng the X-rays.”

“What did he say?”

“He said there’s an 80% chance.”

Professor Zhang nearly jumped off his chair, looking at Director Han.

“Yes, that’s right, he said 80%. I also thought I had heard it wrong. I confirmed it. It’s 80%, meaning there’s an 80% chance of success.”Director Han clarified.

“I need to visit Mo Sixth. Have someone cover my outpatient shift. 80%, why hesitate? If not for this tumor, the old Feng can live another five or ten years. Why wait?”

“Should I go with you?”

“Yes, Director Han. At this time, you should see him. It’s been more than ten years; I guess he wouldn’t decline.”

“Perhaps.”
