The talk show host from the United States, Gilbert, has issues with his breaking voice due to slight inequality in the thickness of his vocal cords after a polyp was removed from one side, leading to an imbalance in vibration.
The second repair surgery not only failed to solve this problem but also added some scars to the vocal cords.
This made the vibration of the vocal cords uneven, resulting in unpleasant sound quality, lacking smoothness and rhythm.
What Lin Jie needs to do in this vocal cord surgery is firstly remove the scar tissue from the vocal cords, which can also be described as performing vocal cord cosmetic surgery.
Secondly, it involves trimming the vocal cords to ensure they are of equal thickness, allowing balanced vibration.
On Saturday morning, Lin Jie started from 8:50 AM and finished by 11:45 AM.
After nearly three hours, this vocal cord repair surgery was finally completed.
On Sunday morning, Lin Jie once again came to the University Affiliated Hospital.
What he needs to do is the removal of an intracerebral hematoma from old Herbert.
Lin Jie's injury has already recovered, allowing him to undertake this surgery expected to last ten hours.
Old Herbert, still in a coma, also shouldn't have the operation delayed any longer.
Therefore, this surgery is being conducted at the earliest possible time.
Of course, abiding by previous agreements, this surgery is to be live broadcast online.
Before entering the operating room, Lin Jie met Maxwell, who had just rushed in from an international flight.
The other person was half a head taller than him.
After a simple welcome photo, Lin Jie immediately stepped back and politely said, "Dr. Maxwell, to express my warm welcome to you, I'll treat you to Chinese cuisine after the surgery!"
"Chinese food is a must, but the best welcome..."
Maxwell eagerly said, "is to let me watch your surgery!"
Lin Jie worriedly asked, "After a flight lasting over ten hours and with jet lag, what you need now is rest..."
"NO! NO! NO..."
Maxwell excitedly replied, "Don't worry about my condition, observing a high-level brain surgery is the best rest for me."
"Dr. Lin Jie, please grant me this request."
Lin Jie thought for a moment and then nodded with a smile, "Since you're insisting, if you promise not to take over the surgery table and kick me out midway, I'll agree."
Maxwell laughed heartily and said, "Where to change into scrubs..."
The assistants for this surgery were still Jiang Hao and Qi Xingfen.
Tian Xiangyu and Huo Guangheng were also in the operating room, performing some auxiliary tasks.
Lin Jie first used a marker to draw an oval shape on the brightly shaved right front side of old Herbert's head.
Afterward, as the surgical assistant, Jiang Hao picked up the scalpel and followed the line drawn by Lin Jie, cutting open the scalp, flipping it over to reveal the skull, and then using an electric saw to start cutting the skull...
Professor Tian Zhiyuan from Jingcheng University Medical School, an expert in brain surgery at the Affiliated Hospital, specially cleared his schedule, gathering his students and assistant doctors to watch Lin Jie's live surgery.
As soon as Lin Jie drew the craniotomy range on the patient's head, a doctoral student couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, isn't Expert Lin's surgical window too small and positioned rather awkwardly?"
"Those crucial hematomas, approaching them through this surgical window seems unimaginable?"
Another doctoral student tentatively suggested, "Maybe Expert Lin is planning to open two surgical windows this time?"
Seeing this scene, Tian Zhiyuan was also puzzled.
Regarding the surgical plan for old Herbert, he had discussed it multiple times with his students and assistants.
Watching Lin Jie's surgery with great formality this time, aside from learning, he couldn't deny having some comparative thoughts in his mind.
Simply gauging by this surgical window, Tian Zhiyuan judged that Lin Jie seemed to have greatly diminished standards.
He didn't voice his inner thoughts and solemnly said, "Expert Lin is a surgical expert whom I deeply admire and find myself far from matching."
"If his surgical plan is this rudimentary, would Dr. Maxwell, a world-renowned and widely acknowledged brain surgeon, speak highly of him?"
"The surgery has just started, don't be quick to make judgments in your mind."
"Pay close attention, learning even one or two things from Expert Lin can benefit you for a lifetime."
Although educating the students, these words also calmed Tian Zhiyuan, refocused him away from wild thoughts, and focused his attention on watching intently.
As time ticked by, over three hours passed quickly.
For laymen, these three hours might seem boring, almost lulling them to sleep.
Lin Jie, not unlike a snail, delicately inserted a long, thin line slowly into the patient's brain solely through finger movements.
Or he was using a slender surgical instrument, reportedly a brain needle, carefully probing around.
However, this process, in the eyes of someone like Tian Zhiyuan who's knowledgeable, means...
Lin Jie consistently demonstrated an extraordinary high surgical standard, with hands stable as a mountain and actions precise and concise!
At this point, Tian Zhiyuan saw Lin Jie gently withdraw the surgical suction tool from the patient's brain, then step away from the patient two steps, starting some relaxation exercises.
Cranial surgery being the most mentally and physically draining, this kind of relaxation is essential and necessary.
From the progress of the surgery, five relatively easy-to-remove intracranial clots have already been successfully extracted from the patient.
Tian Zhiyuan knew that Lin Jie's brief relaxation was in preparation for the crucial stage of the operation.
In the video, a nurse stepped forward to wipe Lin Jie's forehead and fed him a piece of chocolate.
Afterwards, Lin Jie once again approached the operating table, reaching out to take a surgical instrument from Huo Guangheng.
It was a bone drill!
Amid Tian Zhiyuan's puzzled confusion, Lin Jie drilled three holes at three different locations in the patient's cranium.
As Lin Jie held a nearly indistinguishable, slender transparent line and slowly inserted it through the cranial hole, people in the room began to cry out in surprise!
"Teacher, what kind of line is this?"
"Teacher, what is Expert Lin doing?"
"Teacher, why don't I understand it?"
"Don't make noise, shut up, and watch carefully!"
Tian Zhiyuan scolded everyone, eyes fixated on Lin Jie's actions, but in his heart, he considered a possibility...
The first inserted hollow fiber tube was managed by Jiang Hao for thrombolytic infusion!
The second inserted hollow fiber tube was managed by Qi Xingfen for thrombolytic infusion!
The third inserted hollow fiber tube...
Lin Jie turned to Maxwell and asked, "Do you have the physical strength and interest to handle the dissolution of this clot?"
"I couldn't ask for more, thank you!"
Maxwell's voice was filled with excitement and urgency.
Lin Jie moved to the patient's left side, made a small incision above the left ear, and inserted the final and most crucial hollow fiber tube...
In Capital City, on a slowly moving traffic-ridden road.
Sitting in a taxi, Xiang Rong asked on the phone, "What time does the train arrive in Binhai?"
"Alright, thanks, buddy! When I get back, I'll treat you to a lavish meal!"
After hanging up, he pulled out 500 yuan and waved it in his hand, shouting to the driver, "Sir, if you can get to Jingcheng High-speed Railway Station within thirty-eight minutes."
"This money is all yours..."
The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, licked his lips, and said in a deep voice, "You just sit tight! Hold on and don't jolt yourself!"
In Binhai, in the office of the dean at the University Affiliated Hospital.
A male assistant in his thirties was reporting: "Dean, I have received calls from seven internationally recognized medical websites and renowned medical journals, and eleven foreign medical professors and neurosurgery experts!"
"They hope that Expert Lin can hold a video live-stream press conference after the surgery to detail this innovative surgical technique."
Cheng Xingguang's face was filled with joy as he said, "Expert Lin certainly surprised us greatly. Arrange the venue for this press conference."
"Once the surgery is over, I will ask Expert Lin whether to proceed with this press conference."
At 6:21 pm, the surgery ended.
Because of Maxwell's participation, the surgery was completed nearly forty minutes ahead of time.
Lin Jie, Maxwell, and others exited the operating room and were taken aback.
The waiting area was packed with people, including An Kexin, Lin Miao, Fang Huanru, and other family and students of Lin Jie, as well as many familiar colleagues from the medical community.
There were about dozens of people, practically filling the entire waiting area.
With a broad smile, Cheng Xingguang came forward and said, "Expert Lin, these people came to celebrate your perfect completion of a cranial surgery and your pioneering of a new type of surgical treatment."
"The perfection of the surgery can only be determined once the patient wakes up!"
Lin Jie humbly replied, first coming to Lili and little Herbert, briefly explaining the surgical process, and concluded, "Mr. Herbert's nine intracranial clots have been entirely removed."
"If there are no surprises, Mr. Herbert should awaken within three hours."
"At that time, we will conduct a detailed examination on him to determine post-operative injury and formulate a subsequent recovery plan."
At this point, Cheng Xingguang approached again and whispered, "Expert Lin, this live-streamed surgery has caused a significant stir."
"To date, the hospital has received nearly fifty international calls, hoping you can hold a press conference to answer some of their questions."
"Expert Lin, what do you think about the press conference? And how about your condition?"
Maxwell, who had been chatting with his assistants, also came over.
He happily said, "Doctor Lin Jie, as I expected, this innovative surgical method has garnered great attention."
"I strongly recommend that you immediately hold a press conference to introduce your 'Lin Jie Healing Technique' to all your concerned medical colleagues, otherwise, they're bound to feel an itch they can't scratch."
"Lin Jie Healing Technique!"
Upon hearing this term, the eyes of Cheng Xingguang, Jiang Hao, and Qi Xingfen suddenly lit up.
A new type of intracranial clot treatment named after Lin Jie, this is indeed an enormous honor!
