Sometimes, when the Chief Surgeon works alone, it can take a long time and may still not be resolved. To save time, the observing team noticed that today's surgical team employed a wonderful collaborative technique that is usually invisible in surgeries.
The First Assistant extended her finger, replacing the Chief Surgeon's left hand to assist at the incision above the sternum.
Everyone watched and realized, hey, this method works, it's feasible, probably better than one person's actions. Imagine, if one person uses two hands at both ends, the posture itself is awkward, and awkwardness is destined to be cumbersome and strenuous. If it's two people, one person inserts from the lower end, the other from the opposite side inserts to the lower end, each finds a comfortable posture, and can adjust angles anytime. Comparatively, when one person uses both hands to insert from up and down, it's like being trapped at both ends, making it difficult to change posture and angle.
