Postoperative stability was remarkable in all 10 pigs; even the one fitted with a heart pacemaker was lively and bouncing around.
The daily examination indicators for these pigs also showed no significant abnormalities, suggesting that the surgical technique certainly had no issues.
This technique was merely an innovation in approach and tools; the underlying theory remained unchanged, so it was possible to roughly predict whether it was safe or not.
Professor Cao and Director Xin hadn't been idle these past few days, either; they had spent every day in the "pigsty" on the first floor of the spare building, closely observing the doctors and students from the Comprehensive Surgery Department as they collected data on the pigs. Sometimes, when it was time for surface ultrasound, they would even step in and conduct it themselves to personally monitor the state of the heart through the ultrasound.
