Yan Ye will have pioneered a new approach and also acquired valuable experience. How precious is this first-hand experience??
It's more than just a little beneficial for the elderly patient; she won't have to endure the pain brought by a large surgical incision, nor worry about postoperative complications like chest pain.
The smaller incisions of minimally invasive surgery also generally lead to better recovery.
Of course, Ji Chuan proposed this because he has confidence in the techniques that Yan Ye has developed. After many years of research, there has been a breakthrough. Wouldn't this be the time for a bold application?
Ji Chuan taking the risk to suggest this scheme to Yan Ye could mean a lot. If they weren't friends, who would go out of their way to worry about such matters? Others wouldn't even bother.
