During a challenging surgery to remove metastatic cancer cells, Zhou Can livened up the operating room atmosphere while carefully cutting open the mediastinal pleura and handling the diaphragmatic nerve. Assisted by Vice Director Hee, who urged caution around vital organs, Zhou Can meticulously cleared cancerous tissue and lymph nodes from the pericardium and lung areas. As he performed the high-difficulty excisions, his Incision Skill rapidly accumulated experience points, ultimately upgrading to Level 6 and enhancing his anatomical precision to director-level standards.

Surgical operations break down into three essential components: anatomy, repair, and transplantation.

Grasping anatomy proves straightforward. This phase entails slicing through the cortex, muscle layers, or directly into organs, followed by removing or clearing out the diseased area. Within anatomy, the Incision Skill stands as the crucial element.

Moreover, advanced techniques branch out from Incision Skill, including Separation Skill and Wound Cleaning Skill.

Anatomy works by destructively altering the uninjured human form, and for patient recovery, the harmed tissues and organs require restoration.

Take a severed blood vessel, for example—you have to halt the bleeding right away!

When nerves, blood vessels, or tendons get severed, reanastomosis becomes necessary!

Thus, surgery divides primarily into anatomy and repair categories.

Transplantation comes into play based on specific requirements.

Shifting a patch of thigh skin to the face or neck counts as transplantation. Severing the head and attaching it to a full body also qualifies as transplantation, though the challenges vary enormously.

Mastering any medical technique begins with basic, straightforward practices.

Zhou Can has now elevated his Incision Skill to Level 6 through dedicated practice, marking a substantial advance in surgical expertise.

This achievement equips him to handle Level 3 or 4 surgeries of heightened complexity.

Earlier, for the anatomical sections in those Level 3 or 4 challenging operations, he managed them only through Fast Knife Skill and Stable Knife Technique. At present, his prowess in surgical dissection and removal has progressed notably.

In extensive operations, prioritizing safety remains paramount.

Attaining beginner Director-level in Incision Skill boosts overall surgical safety by a clear margin.

During his attempt to remove a cancerous lymph node, the sensation of the cut far surpassed that of Level 5 Incision Skill. He distinctly sensed the tissue layers, the depth, and even the lymph node's boundaries.

Subtle ducts and nerve terminations become faintly detectable amid the excision process.

Gaining precise awareness of small blood vessels and nerve endings while excising likely demands elevating Incision Skill to intermediate or advanced Director-level proficiency.

Progress comes one step at a time.

Zhou Can feels deeply gratified with his present surgical attainment.

To venture a guess, across all of Tuya Hospital, fewer than forty surgeons possess Incision Skill at beginner Director-level or beyond.

A surgeon's skill proficiency rarely aligns with their professional title.

Consider Director Liu in General Surgery, for instance.

He lingered at Vice Director due to modest academic credentials and approaching sixty years old. Yet his hands-on surgical prowess could rival or exceed that of full Directors.

Fortunately, he has recently earned the Senior Director position he desired.

As a novice resident physician, Zhou Can's Incision Skill has already hit beginner Director-level.

Cases where titles mismatch skill levels occur frequently and seem quite common.

Certain research-oriented or scholarly Directors may lag behind typical surgical residents in practical abilities, which comes as no shock.

"This Level Six Incision Skill truly brings satisfaction!"

Having tasted Director-level dissection capabilities, Zhou Can accelerated his pace in the operation.

Right now, Experience Points for both Incision Skill and Separation Skill continue to accumulate swiftly.

With extra push, he could elevate Separation Skill to Level 6 in short order.

Separation Skill plays vital roles in complex operations. It ranks among the tougher advanced techniques that baffle most surgeons.

Certain medical abilities come easily at first but resist true expertise.

Skills like Suturing Skill, Ligation Skill, and Wound Cleaning Skill fit this mold.

Separation Skill, however, challenges from the outset and grows exponentially harder to refine.

Take a powerhouse like Director Hu Kan—even he faced a mishap detaching vital diseased tissue from major vessels, resulting in lasting health issues.

This highlights the necessity of honing Separation Skill to reach elite surgical mastery.

Neglecting it creates glaring weaknesses, potentially causing disasters in pivotal situations.

While it daunts others, Zhou Can faces it head-on.

He simply keeps racking up Experience Points for Separation Skill, propelling the ability to Level 6 by sheer accumulation.

...

After close to three and a half hours, the procedure wrapped up at last.

Zhou Can reaped immense gains from this operation.

Beyond upgrading Incision Skill to Level 6, Separation Skill nears Level 6 too, requiring just over seventeen hundred more Experience Points. With some fortune, a couple of major procedures might seal the upgrade.

These days, major surgeries in Cardiothoracic Surgery demand his involvement nearly daily.

No longer merely assisting at the side of Director Xue Yan or Director Le, he now takes the lead in operating, while they provide primary assistance.

Essentially, they hover nearby to offer 'guidance' throughout the surgery.

Naturally, steering clear of legal and compliance hazards is essential.

For cases where he performs but requires oversight, his presence in the operating theater suffices.

Cardiothoracic Surgery's premier operating suite features three interconnected rooms, enabling three concurrent procedures.

Leveraging this setup, scenarios like today's unfold routinely: Director Xue Yan handles an operation in the next room, while Zhou Can teams with Vice Director Hee in an adjacent one.

Should Director Xue Yan require support, Zhou Can can dash over promptly.

Such arrangements yield vast advantages, greatly enhancing the throughput of demanding surgeries.
