The surgery continued. It had now been in progress for six hours and thirty-eight minutes. For Liu Banxia and Shi Lei, the physical exertion was enormous.
Their arduous work paid off: the patient's abdominal adhesions had been completely cleared by the two of them.
"Brother Wang, how's the patient?" asked Liu Banxia.
"There don't seem to be any problems for now, but the surgery has already taken a significant amount of time. You'll have to speed up the upcoming fistula creation," said Wang Lei.
"Boss, you're more familiar with this procedure than I am. I'll be your first assistant; you take the lead," Liu Banxia said.
"Okay." Shi Lei didn't hesitate at all.
