Emergency Department, outside the operating room.
Deputy Director Jiang Ming had just finished a laparoscopic appendectomy. The patient had gangrenous appendicitis. He used the conventional three-port laparoscopic technique: one main operating port, one auxiliary port, and one observation port.
He used cosmetic sutures for the incisions. The overall result was good, but it would still leave scars.
Recently, Jiang Ming had been working on a research project: how to achieve a nearly scarless laparoscopic appendectomy.
According to his plan, this cosmetic appendectomy technique had enormous potential and market value. It was also the project he was banking on to get promoted to Chief Physician.
However, his progress had not been very smooth lately.
