Chapter 1001 -1003: The Insane Thesis

Prandos and Austar had been good friends for many years.

Their academic views were very similar, and most importantly, Prandos once collaborated with Austar on a scientific research project. Although it ended in failure, the experience had bonded them inseparably.

Prandos was a top scientist in the field of cell engineering who was later recruited by the Elsevier Group to serve as the chief editor of The Lancet.

He had been at it for many years.

Austar said this about Prandos, “Dr. Chen might become the president of the World Congress of Gastrointestinal Surgery, believe me!”

Prandos certainly did not believe Austar’s almost insane statement.

During their conversation that followed, Austar shared his understanding of Chen Cang, emphatically saying, “Believe me. Or help me!”

Prandos did not reject such a nearly insane idea from Austar.

Instead, he opened a journal issue of the British Journal of Surgery and found the article Chen Cang had published on the use of laparoscopic techniques.

After reading it, Prandos was stunned momentarily!

He then hurriedly searched for Chen Cang and found that most of the articles that appeared were written by his mentors.

This was also the case now, which somewhat surprised him.

Moreover, a recent article by Chen Cang had been published in The Lancet criticizing an FDA-approved cough syrup case. By using case-based evidence, it inferred that VOLB company’s cough syrup was substandard, including ambiguities in labeling.

This even garnered much positive feedback for The Lancet!

This piqued Prandos’s curiosity—what exactly was Chen Cang proficient in?

…

…

The Lancet had many readers who were quite professional.

The day after the journal was published, many started to verify and learn from some of the content in the book.

This was also why The Lancet was so popular—its scholarly authority was genuinely trusted by all.

In Rochester, Minnesota, at the Mayo Clinic, Cowell was eating pizza while reading the new March issue of The Lancet.

As a young attending physician at the Mayo Clinic, Cowell was earnestly working to improve himself.

Upon reading the article on common mistakes in biliary surgery and their improvements, Cowell was pleasantly surprised; he hadn’t expected such a technical summary to be featured in a magazine like The Lancet.

Such articles were rare!

The Lancet had always been regarded as a highly professional and sophisticated journal—an almost unworldly resource for young doctors.

He was thrilled to see such an article published this time.

Cowell read it carefully, growing more excited as he recognized the mistakes it described—they spoke directly to his heart, creating a sense of affirmation!

It was a remarkable article!

And it even provided solutions and improvements.

Cowell spent the entire afternoon reading it four or five times, and to be safe, he wrote down the information with pen and paper.

After finishing, Cowell looked at the names of the authors and suddenly realized—they were Professor Austar and Ma Yuehui.

However, what surprised him even more was why an article by Professor Austar listed a mentor?

Curious, Cowell then searched the name Chen Cang.

This search really turned up a few articles.

And sure enough, Chen Cang was indeed a formidable figure—with two articles in The Lancet and one in Hepatology—impressive!

Cowell then opened the article on the British Journal of Surgery about laparoscopic technique.

Upon reading it, Cowell felt a sense of incompleteness!

Soon, there was surgery in the afternoon, where Cowell would act as an assistant, also undertaking the responsibility of holding the laparoscope.

During the gastrectomy, the lead surgeon, who was the head of Cowell’s medical team, encountered some difficulties—separating the stomach from the duodenum presented issues, and the lack of spatial sense could potentially damage nearby veins.

At that moment, Cowell suddenly recalled the optical fiber rotation technique he read about that day.

He urgently said to the team leader, Nancy, “Mr. Nancy, please wait a moment.”

Nancy turned around, surprised, and looked at the ambitious young Cowell, “Do you have a method?”

Cowell nodded, “Watch the screen, I’ll control the laparoscope, and see if this spatial orientation works.”

After saying this, Cowell began to control the rotation of the laparoscopic optical fiber.

The television screen shifted, and during the rotation, the central field of view remained unchanged. Instead, the optical fiber rotation ingeniously created a sense of three-dimensional space.

Everyone, including Cowell, was astonished!

It worked!

It really worked!

Nancy was stunned, watching the scene unfold with great surprise, “Cowell! What’s going on?”

As the head of Mayo’s treatment team, he clearly understood what this scene represented!

Cowell was equally excited, “Sorry, chief, it’s my first time operating it. Try it a few more times, and I believe we can get the optimal visual effect.”

Nancy nodded, for now, the surgery was more important than anything.

They would discuss the matter in detail after the operation was complete.

Honestly, Cowell’s actions had made him realize that this might be a new field of study.

Indeed, after Cowell practiced it seven or eight times, he could perform the operation smoothly, and the surgery was continued without needing a combined thoracoabdominal incision.

The thoracoabdominal incision for gastroduodenectomy was quite gruesome.

After the surgery, Nancy looked at Cowell, “Cowell, how did you do it? Just now, when you switched the view.”

Cowell sheepishly smiled, “I read an article today in the British Journal of Surgery that mentioned this technique. Oh, and the author is definitely a genius!”

Upon hearing this, Nancy hurried back to his office.

Half an hour later, deeply inspired, Cowell breathed out, “If there was a book called ‘Laparoscopic Techniques,’ I believe it would become the most popular book among surgeons—everyone would want a copy!”

Cowell nodded, “I would too!”

The same realization wasn’t only occurring at the Mayo Clinic but in many places around the world…

More and more people began to realize that this article might be opening up a new field that could genuinely assist many surgeons and patients.

The use of laparoscopic techniques had been studied before!

But no one had delved as deeply into it as Chen Cang, who had basically systematized the technique and then performed a textbook-style analysis.

Before long, more and more people were calling the British Journal of Surgery, hoping to contact the author to publish a new article.
