For a surgery that would last so long, Liu Banxia and his team decided to have lunch earlier.
They had to eat. If they didn't, the long duration of the surgery would truly be unbearable for those participating, whether they were operating or observing.
"If any of you can't hold on, try to slip out as quietly as possible. There will be immense pressure when we're separating the adhesions, and any sudden movements from you could cause our hands to slip," Liu Banxia said after lunch.
"Teacher Liu, don't worry, we definitely won't cause you any trouble," Xu Yino said.
"Good. Rest for half an hour, then we'll get started," Liu Banxia said, glancing at his phone.
Rest was necessary. After eating, blood concentrates in the stomach to digest food, making people drowsy. When possible, it's best to set aside this time to be more energetic later.
