Anyone who has experienced orthopedic surgery knows how troublesome dealing with bones can be. In the initial stages, because the muscles attached to the bones are firm, unlike the soft materials immediately exposed when opening the abdominal cavity, retractors cannot be inserted immediately; small tools must be used to slowly separate them.
The semi-curved forceps are currently being used to act like retractors, pulling and prying open the small incision to expose a broad view as much as possible for the doctor to operate. Even adults find it inconvenient to operate here; the limitations are even greater with children due to their small body size and bones.
Student Pan Shihua's eyes were wide open. Having only ever seen abdominal surgeries before, this was his first experience with non-abdominal surgery, and he could indeed feel that he was undergoing an upgraded version of surgery.
