Surgery Godfather-Chapter 638 - 580 Comic

Takahashi came to China once again, filled with joy. He had always cherished his time studying overseas.

Every day, he could witness Yang Ping creating miracles, emerging a new world before him and learning loads of new things.

The learning experience during that period gradually distanced him from his fellow doctors.

Sasaki once was superior to him, but now Sasaki was way behind. This made Professor Fujihara reconsider his successor.

It was once commonly known that Sasaki would be the successor of Professor Fujihara.

But now, Professor Fujihara started to waver, paying more attention to Takahashi.

Takahashi outperformed Sasaki, not only in philosophy but also in surgery.

Because it was not the weekend, everyone dared not to drink alcohol. They replaced wine with tea and had a delightful conversation.

"Professor, your last surgery in Japan is still a tale in the Tokyo University Hospital. The video is being studied repeatedly as a textbook," Takahashi couldn’t help his excitement and raised his teacup to toast Yang Ping.

Yang Ping didn’t think much of it: "It was just a surgery, no big deal."

"Eighteen days after President Fujihara’s surgery, he woke up and was capable of reading newspapers when discharged. It was a very successful surgery. Teacher Fujihara always marvels about it. So this time, he insisted I come as soon as possible to express Tokyo University Hospital’s attitude. Tokyo University Hospital will always be a friend of Professor Yang, open to cooperation."

"During Ning Yu’s hospitalization at Tokyo University Hospital, Teacher Fujihara, together with professors from all related specialities, visited her daily. Later, during her rehabilitation training, he personally checked her progress every day. Ning Yu has completely recovered and will return to China soon, if I’m not mistaken."

"Professor Amano from Sao Paulo Hospital also hopes to send a special patient to China for surgery."

Takahashi finished his tea and put down the cup respectfully.

Seeing Yang Ping felt like seeing a respected mentor.

Reuniting with Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang felt like students attending a reunion after graduation.

"How’s Yu Shuilian now?" Takahashi recalled this classic ’half-man’ case. He was on the scene of the rescue then.

Song Zimo told him, "She’s operating a bakery on the first floor of Tri-Bo Hotel and is in great shape now, able to control her bladder and bowels. The next step is to arrange a powered orthosis."

Takahashi gave a thumbs up: "That’s amazing! I want to see her."

"We’ll take you there tomorrow!" Xu Zhiliang clinked his cup with Takahashi.

"Are you speaking more fluently?" Takahashi noticed that stutter Xu didn’t stutter as much.

Xu Zhiliang shook his head: "My symptoms are inconsistent, fluent sometimes and stuttering other times."

"I just learned that both of you have achieved deep knowledge in the field of orthopedic spine surgery. I’m falling behind again and hope you can guide me more to keep up."

"Teachers Zhang and Wu, please pay more attention!"

"The three of you, Miss Miyuki misses you very much. She wanted to come with me this time but was stopped by Teacher Fujihara. Due to staff shortages in the department, too many people cannot be spared."

Takahashi didn’t leave anyone out and was polite and decent throughout.

There was something else important that Takahashi remembered.

"Professor, in Japan, there is a manga circulating among medical students named ’The Godfather of Surgery’. At first, I thought it was just a doodle in the manga. But out of curiosity, I borrowed it and found it quite interesting. The manga tells the story of a genius surgeon, and the cases in it are surprisingly similar to yours, Professor. I was shocked ---"

"The comic book is at my dormitory. I will bring it tomorrow for you guys to read. Really, the latest issue of the story is very similar to Ding Yu and President Fujihara’s cases at Tokyo University. Plus, the hospital where the cases occur in the manga feels like the prototype is Tokyo University Hospital. And the twin-tower structure in the hospital where the protagonist works is exactly like Sanbo Hospital!"

Takahashi found the manga peculiar and it was widely circulated among medical students in Japan.

"A twin-tower structure?" Yang Ping found it strange.

When he first came to Sanbo Hospital, what impressed him most about the hospital was the twin-tower structure.

"Tomorrow, I’ll bring the manga so you all can read it. My intuition tells me that the stories written by this manga artist are very much like Professor Yang’s. The cases include ’Half-man’ and ’Folding-man’ and even feature a lovely little girl who resembles Sisi."

The more Takahashi spoke, the more magical it seemed.

No way, everyone was staring at Takahashi, but the manga wasn’t with him, so he couldn’t present it at the moment.

But how could this manga have appeared in Japan? The Japanese manga author’s imagination was remarkably in sync with Professor Yang’s story.

This was truly miraculous.

If, as Takahashi said, the manga included cases like ’Half-man’, ’Folding-man’, etc., it was no coincidence.

However, it was also thought that cases like ’Half-man", ’Folding-man’, and almost all others would ultimately be published in the form of a paper.

Moreover, with the developed internet, many online news pieces could be found through a simple search, thus material was easily accessible.

Perhaps, this author had been searching for material everywhere, and had a keen interest in Professor Yang’s surgical cases.

"Remember to bring the manga tomorrow,"

Song Zimo reminded Takahashi.

He wanted to read through the manga himself, to see what was going on. It was unthinkable that there could be such a coincidence.

Everyone didn’t stay late. There were surgeries the next day, so they wrapped up around ten.

After dinner, Yang Ping and Xiao Su went home.

As Xiao Su was busy preparing ingredients for the next day’s breakfast, Yang Ping laid on the sofa, contemplating. Each was intent on their own tasks without interrupting the other. Such harmony marked their relationship.

The case of Li Jun could potentially be seen by others as a simple Removal of teratoma.

However, Yang Ping had always wondered, why is it that mere reproductive cells, whether in male teratomas or female teratomas, can develop into bone fragments, muscles, skin and hair, and even nerve tissues.

If seen from a different angle, isn’t this process similar to organ cultivation?

Moreover, the cultivation of these tissues and organs does not take place in the uterus under childbearing conditions, nor are they formed under the environments for childbirth. They can occur in any part of the body, so their requirements for the environment are less.

Reproductive cells should normally develop into sexual organs, such as testes in males and ovaries in females. For some unknown reason, they have deviated, meaning a mistake occurred in the development direction.

This mistake is essentially a minute error in the internal programming information of biology. The erroneous cell does not die off, it still roams on the path of division and surprisingly develops bone fragments, muscles, skin and hair within a membrane.

What caused the reproductive organs to be able to do this?

Is there a connection between the mechanism of teratoma formation and my research project?

Yang Ping had a hunch that teratomas could be a new direction for breakthrough.

By studying teratomas, it may be possible to find a breakthrough that could provide insight into how to cultivate organs from stem cells.

"Professor Yang, isn’t it time to take a shower and rest?"

Xiao Su prepared the breakfast ingredients, put them in the refrigerator, took a shower, saw that it was quite late, and reminded Yang Ping.

"Are you thinking about your research experiment?"

Xiao Su understood Yang Ping’s thoughts, he had been focusing on this matter recently.

As soon as the experiment was mentioned, Yang Ping immediately perked up.

This experiment was not like any other experiment.

Young people just love doing experiments.

Yang Ping quickly got up from the sofa: "I’m going to take a shower!"

Xiao Su watched as Yang Ping suddenly became energized, wondering why he seemed like a different person.

Soon, the sound of water could be heard from the bathroom.

——

The third day after surgery.

Li Jun began to feel sensation in his anal and perineal areas, his anal reflex was weak, but his sphincter muscle could feel contraction, which were signs of nerve recovery.

The teratoma was compressing the sacral nerves, the appearance of neurological symptoms wasn’t for a long time, so the recovery was quick.

If the sensation in the skin around his anus and perineum, and the contraction of his anal sphincter fully recovered, Li Jun would not have any sequelae.

The volume of negative pressure drainage was very small, it was removed, and Li Jun could get out of bed and move around.

The sacrum is made up of five fused vertebrae. The first and second sacral vertebrae need to support the body’s weight. The weight passes down through the axis of the spine, reaching the second sacral vertebra, where it turns to the left and right, then passes down through the hip bones on both sides, and is transferred to the lower limbs.

The third sacral vertebra and those below it, along with the coccyx, do not need to bear weight, even if they fracture, bed rest is not necessary.

Yang Ping considered this in his surgery. When performing the sacral windowing, he created a large window in the area below the third sacrum, but the first and second sacral vertebrae were only windowed narrowly, not affecting their weight-bearing capability.

Li Jun walked around the room with the help of a walker.

His fair face was handsome, he was not good with words, and always smiled at the doctors and nurses during their rounds.

According to the consultation from the Department of Psychology, his depression was improving, and the dosage of his depression medication was gradually being reduced.

Yang Ping told him that there used to be a band on the overpass by the hospital’s main entrance, which included a guitarist. The band was very popular back then, with its lead singer being a down-and-out rich man. Later, the rich man made a comeback, and the band broke up, becoming an immortal legend on the overpass.

So, one must always look forward in life, the world is beautiful.

Qin Xiaowei told Yang Ping that after discussing with Ajun, he decided to have a kidney transplant at Sanbo Hospital.

Qin Xiaowei and Li Jun had a very favourable impression of Sanbo Hospital. He had been asking around these few days and found out that Sanbo Hospital also has the qualification for kidney transplantation. As a provincial hospital, it has a large surgical volume.

So, they decided to have the kidney transplant surgery at Sanbo Hospital.

Qin Xiaowei had asked the professor from the renal transplant center, who agreed to help expedite the typing and ethics review of the kidney.

"Are you that Brother Wei from TikTok?" one intern recognized Qin Xiaowei but wasn’t sure.

Yang Ping never watched TikTok, so he naturally didn’t know.

Upon confirmation, the intern excitedly introduced him to those around him: "He is Brother Wei, he used to be a rock climbing trainer, and now he is a video blogger for extreme outdoor sports on TikTok."

After the intern confirmed, he began to whisper introductions to those around him: "His videos are thrilling, they make people’s hearts pound."

Turns out this young man was into extreme outdoor sports, no wonder his fingers were always wrapped in tape.

During the ward rounds, everyone did not dare to speak openly, whispering a few words before stopping the conversation.

Qin Xiaowei modestly said: "I’ve just entered this industry not long ago, not many followers."

As Yang Ping was about to leave, Qin Xiaowei told him that after discussing with Ajun, Ajun had also decided to have his kidney transplant at Sanbo Hospital.

Following this surgery, Qin Xiaowei and Li Jun had developed a very favourable impression of Sanbo Hospital. After asking around, Qin Xiaowei found out that Sanbo Hospital was qualified for kidney transplantation and, as a provincial hospital, had a fairly high number of surgeries.

Thus, they had decided to perform the kidney transplantation at Sanbo Hospital.

Qin Xiaowei had asked the head of the renal transplant center if they could help expedite the typing and ethics review.

Yang Ping told him that the teratoma surgery didn’t result in much blood loss. After the stitches are removed, around two weeks later, they can proceed with the kidney transplant. At that time, they can be discharged and then readmitted to the renal transplant center.

"Look, this is his video!"

"Let me see!"

The intern who recognized Qin Xiaowei just now took out his phone and brought up one of Qin Xiaowei’s TikTok videos.

Everyone gathered around to watch.

The video was shot atop an unprotected rooftop. A young man is seen circling the roof, capturing the scenes below from an overhead angle. From dozens of floors above, people looked like ants.

After the fan base confirms the danger and height, he steps onto a balancing scooter and speeds up towards the edge of the roof. A backward brake slows the scooter just before the edge. Incredibly, he repeats this several times before the video ends.

Everyone was truly shocked and had to take deep breaths after watching it.

This was a raw video, without any special effect edits. The young man had no safety protection, one mistake and he would fall off the tall building.

This video was recently shot, and during the live stream, fans had sent a lot of gifts.
