The surgery began, and Austar picked up the separation forceps and carefully started to separate.
However, the gallbladder was uniquely positioned, and adhesion increased the difficulty of separation.
The separation proved to be particularly challenging.
Even for an experienced and skilled doctor like Austar, it required meticulous handling.
Time ticked away.
Austar finally managed to separate the gallbladder triangle, but then a severe separation issue arose.
The gallbladder was transverse and very close to the liver and the round ligament!
The level of precision needed for an accurate excision was immensely challenging.
The shortcomings of laparoscopic surgery became evident: great visual clarity but poor spatial awareness.
At such times, the ultrasonic scalpel could easily damage the liver and ligaments.
What to do?
For safety, perhaps… switch to open surgery?
The surrounding doctors also fell into deep thought; everyone knew that they were facing a serious problem.
