The patient's poor constitution and heavy bleeding meant that the surgeon had to race against time.
To say that this surgery was a race against death was no exaggeration.
This was the largest tumor removal surgery ever performed at Capital Hospital to date.
Based on experience, similar surgeries in the past had resulted in patients losing more than 2,500 milliliters of blood.
During surgery, over a hundred blood-soaked gauze pads and dozens of saline-soaked pads were used.
But none of the tumors in previous cases were as large as this one.
The success rate depended entirely on the amount of blood lost during the operation.
If the patient's physical quality was poor and the blood loss excessive, their body couldn't handle it, and then even the gods would have difficulty saving them.
There was a high likelihood they would simply stop breathing on the operating table.
Everyone was sweating bullets.
