Both anterior and posterior approaches are no problem for Yang Ping; any part of the body can be a surgical approach. For Yang Ping, who is extremely skilled in anatomy, this is entirely feasible.
The so-called classic surgical approaches are just a concept in his mind now; he can design any optimal surgical approach as needed temporarily.
The spinal cord in this plane has been severed; recovery of lower limb function is hopeless, but some recovery in upper limb function is still possible.
However, the current goal is to save a life; as for functional recovery, that can be considered later. Saving a life is the fundamental principle of emergency care.
