21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 195 Light Sculpture Projection

When Chen Yu finished washing his hands and walked into the operating theatre, preparations for surgery were already underway, just as usual. However, what was different that day was the presence of a projection unit secured by a mechanical arm next to the operating table; this was the light sculpture projector and near-infrared camera that would be used in the surgery.

"Professor." The Glasses Doctor and Nakagawa Susumu by the operating table greeted Chen Yu promptly upon his arrival.

Since Doctor Higashiyama had other matters to attend to, the Glasses Doctor would be today's surgical assistant.

Chen Yu nodded at the Glasses Doctor while flexing his hands, acknowledging the greeting. With his current status as a professor, a bit of informality on his part wasn't going to elicit any comments.

Today's operation was an open surgery, which was easier to perform compared to the last one, although it involved extracting a tumor that had infiltrated the Inferior Vena Cava without opening the heart. Open surgery allowed for hands to be inserted into the abdominal cavity and other more convenient surgical instruments to be used, making the surgery not too difficult overall.

Moreover, with the latest light sculpture projection technology, the difficulty of this operation was a bit more challenging than a standard liver tumor resection, or in some sense, it might even be a bit simpler.

As long as an unexpected event like sudden cardiac arrest during surgery last time didn't occur, Chen Yu was fully confident in completing this surgery.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As for the possibility of accidents? Since a doctor's skills can't prevent them from happening, the methods of the Necromancer would eliminate such possibilities.

"We're now beginning the surgery to remove the large hepatocellular carcinoma that has progressed into the right liver lobe and the atrium, please take care." After Chen Yu spoke, his gaze turned towards Jounouchi Hiromi.

Feeling Chen Yu's gaze and despite her face being obscured by a surgical mask, Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes conveyed a gentle, smiling expression as she reported the old Dean's vitals, "Blood pressure 120/73, heart rate 65, sinus rhythm."

"That's exactly why I wanted to use the light sculpture projection. The last laparoscopic surgery only removed the main tumor part on the patient's left liver lobe. The residual part couldn't be clearly identified and was left behind, so we must rely on the light sculpture projection for accurate removal," Chen Yu explained his intentions.

He then took the Monopolar electrosurgical unit from the instrument nurse and instructed the Glasses Doctor, "Cut along this boundary."

"Yes, Professor," responded the Glasses Doctor, quickly working with Chen Yu to begin the resection, "Tissue scissors."

As Chen Yu continued with the surgery, in the observation room diagonally above the operating theatre, Daimon Michiko was watching Chen Yu's surgery with a sullen face and murmuring, "Isn't visual confirmation enough? Why bother with this light sculpture projection... Why won't they let me do the surgery!"

"What are you talking about, Doctor?" Hearing Daimon Michiko murmuring, Zhao Min, who was also observing, couldn't help but glance at her curiously.

"It's nothing. I just said I could do this surgery even without the light sculpture projection," Daimon Michiko replied to Zhao Min and then looked at her curiously, "And who might you be?"

"Senior Brother Chen was a student of my father's," Zhao Min wasn't sure how to explain herself, so she simply mentioned her connection to Chen Yu, but that wasn't the point for her; she was more interested in what Daimon Michiko had just said, "But what did you mean when you said 'they won't let you do the surgery'?"

"The surgery going on now," answered Daimon Michiko, her face showing displeasure akin to a child deprived of candy, "I could have completed it in one go. With my skill level, I could have totally excised the tumor cleanly, without any need for light sculpture projection. But Doctor Chen just wouldn't let me operate, not even to assist him."

Hearing this, Zhao Min immediately understood and after a pause, she said, "Perhaps it's precisely because you're able to do that, Dr. Daimon, that Senior Brother Chen didn't want you involved in this surgery."

"Why? How could being skilled also be a reason?" Daimon Michiko looked at Zhao Min with her mouth agape, clearly baffled.
