This case, with its high difficulty of spinal correction, was not an issue for Yang Ping, seeing as he had successfully corrected the spinal deformity of Lu Gang. However, Professor Qin was somewhat doubtful of Yang Ping's ability to execute the thoracic and abdominal visceral surgeries due to the significant disciplinary crossover involved.
The handling of thoracic and abdominal viscera, whether it's the heart, lungs, and large blood vessels, or liver, gall, and pancreas, require highly specialized skills. Even the experts of cardiac surgery and hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery at the 301 Hospital thought the surgical risks were too high after studying the case and had to give up.
Many of these vital organs are adhered in many places. Once the spine is corrected, the entire layout and suspension of the organs will be affected. If not handled properly, this could lead to sudden cardiac arrest and organ failure — this is no laughing matter.
