Every person involved in the surgery was shocked by what they saw before them!
Even the anesthesiologist Zhou He was no exception.
At this moment, after the reconstruction, the structure of the esophagus was basically unaffected. Moreover, the colonic pedicled flap operation allowed the colon to retain its motility and sphincter functions, which for the esophagus, was even a blessing.
Most importantly was the stomach, as most of it had been resected. The scant remaining stomach, now ingeniously resolved under the transposition anastomosis with the jejunum, completely avoided a series of complications induced by tension during the gastrojejunal anastomosis, such as anastomotic fistula!
Now, Chen Cang had performed the anastomosis from the mucosal layer to the serosa, including the muscle layer, creating a strong and tight junction that would not affect function after recovery.
