After reviewing the statistical data, everyone fell silent, unable to calm down for a long time.

The Modified Tang Method was initially somewhat better than the Tsuge Suturing Technique, but that was in the primitive times. Now, tendon suturing techniques are in a flourishing era.

It is well known that the most difficult points of major progress lie in two periods: the first is the opening period, and the second is the mature period of flourishing.

Among them, a major breakthrough during the mature period of the technology is more difficult than during the pioneering phase.

Various techniques have already been exhausted, and to make a significant breakthrough in those exhausted directions is almost impossible unless there is a breakthrough in basic research.

But seemingly, Lu Cheng, a young fellow, at such a young age, broke this adherence to convention.

Liang Guocheng looked at his Ph.D. student: "List the detailed data of previous suturing techniques for me. If I remember correctly, the data produced by Xiao Lu is no worse than the original data."

"Master, let me organize it!~" The Ph.D. student replied without hesitation.

The team basically does not engage in the development of tendon suturing techniques; they work on nerve suturing.

Tendon suturing techniques must be learned, but through study paths and practice methods, not by comparing basic data exhaustively.

As long as it meets the standards and can be used, it's fine.

Without development, you naturally won't delve very deeply into it.

Although Lu Cheng knew the general range, he could not memorize the exact numbers. This data is not that important, so there was no need to waste neural synapses remembering it.

Of course, after carefully reviewing various data, Lu Cheng went to Professor Zhong Junyun and replied with a light smile: "Teacher, it seems these data are better than the original data."

"I didn't intentionally disparage other suturing techniques."

After speaking, Lu Cheng cautiously added: "Actually, in this kind of suturing data, anything above the Modified Tsuge Suturing Technique is usable. As long as the skill level is enough, they all can have good outcomes."

"But in the past, the differentiation between flexor tendons and extensor tendons was too much. If for the sake of operation convenience and applicability, learning one technique to cope with everything saves time," Lu Cheng explained.

Lu Cheng didn't assert how big of a breakthrough he had achieved. In fact, it wasn't much, but it could save skill learning time for later beginners.

They can also go to learn the Modified Tang Method, learn the Tsuge Suturing Technique, or learn the Tajima Suturing Technique.

But they need to learn a little more, while the suturing technique he developed is applicable to most flexor and extensor tendons. One technique is enough, which is the key reason for the existence of Lu Cheng's technique.

Zhong Junyun was quite satisfied with Lu Cheng's mindset at this moment, not complacent, but very clearly aware of the true intention behind the technique improvement this time.

Zhong Junyun spoke confidently with his hands behind his back: "The treatment of a disease, from nothing, is a major breakthrough. It is pioneering."

"But pioneering is not the endpoint. Take fractures for example; manual reduction and bone setting skill is humanity's earliest exploration of fracture species."

"Some fracture patients can use it, but some can't. Thus, in the 1930s and 1940s, open reduction and internal fixation surgery was invented."

"This thoroughly established the fracture plan: manual reduction, plaster or small splint external fixation + surgical open reduction and internal fixation with plates."

"However, after that, the optimization and improvement of internal fixation devices became more diverse."

"With the development of time, the treatment of every disease species will diversify until it completely unifies…"

The reason why a disease treatment strategy is numerous is because the treatment effect is uncertain, so all kinds of plants contend, if one technique can unite all, then it will save learning time and will also be very useful.

These things have nothing to do with the teaching. It can be said that apart from Lu Cheng, everyone else has heard it more than once, but Professor Zhong Junyun feared Lu Cheng did not know, so he repeated it again.

When others at Union Hospital present the suturing results, the data evaluation of various suturing techniques turns out to be comparable or even slightly inferior to the technique operated by Lu Cheng.

After all, the control group mostly consists of Ph.D.s, attending physicians...

After reading the data comparison table, Zhong Junyun reminded again: "Xiao Lu, when doing a project, you need to pay attention to one point, which is that others need to be able to replicate your project results."

"In other words, other teams must be able to reproduce your current operational results!~"

"Do you know why this is?"

Lu Cheng thought for a while and replied: "It facilitates the dissemination of surgical techniques. Surgical techniques and methods are best when they are easy to learn and use."

"Right!~" Zhong Junyun nodded.

"A technique that others can repeat is called surgery, and a method that cannot be repeated is individual operation, these are two different concepts."

"One is the ability to treat disease, the other is teaching material."

"Medical education is unlike other professions, emphasizing not only 'I can, he can't,' more importantly 'I can, he can too…'"

"Today, it's not early anymore, so let's leave it at this for now."

After speaking, Zhong Junyun reviewed the data again, saying: "Let's leave it like this for now."

His heart grew more uncomfortable and conflicted…

But fortunately, the matter last night was only communicated one-sidedly by phone to Lu Cheng and hadn't yet escalated.

Now that Lu Cheng hasn't brought it up, he still has a chance to pursue the 'cremation ground' which means to let him reconsider the situation!

"Lu Cheng, Lu of land, Cheng of success, everyone get acquainted," Zhong Junyun formally introduced Lu Cheng's name to the others.

This gesture and treatment are quite substantial.

"Hello, Brother Lu…"

"Hello, Brother Lu."

"Xiao Lu…" everyone greeted one after another.

Even knowing Lu Cheng isn't a Ph.D., in the group, everyone doesn't care about others' academic qualifications, but rather about skill.

An upgrade in educational qualifications can be arranged at any moment, as long as the big boss is willing to step in and recruit exceptionally.

Furthermore, the technique improvement that Lu Cheng developed, although it doesn't have significant implications for advancing science, in Hua Country, being able to dominate a specific area,

even if it's just a very, very niche suturing technique?

It can quickly gain peer recognition!!

Lu Cheng also began to ask everyone's names, started adding them to WeChat, and appropriately noted their names...

These things, Zhong Junyun and other big bosses no longer got involved in.

It was indeed getting late, so Zhong Junyun and others left the seminar room with their hands behind their backs.

Once Zhong Junyun and other professors and associate professors left, the remaining Ph.D.s and masters became excited.

"Xiao Lu, if I'm not mistaken, you have invented an original suturing technique? Wow, you're going to take off from here, aren't you?"

"Just a paper on this suturing technique is enough to support you until you stay on at the hospital, right, Brother Chen?" a doctoral student looked at Chen Linlang, asking like this.
