The occurrence of dual-surgery is quite rare.
It's usually only in life-saving emergencies where surgery is needed on two parts simultaneously, then there's no choice.
Otherwise, priority is given to the life-threatening portion of the surgery, and the less urgent part is postponed as much as possible.
Performing surgery on two sites of a patient simultaneously causes significant harm to the patient and exponentially increases the risks.
It takes an experienced and highly skilled lead surgeon to even dare to take this risk.
In fact, it's more common to have two teams relay on performing surgeries for the patient.
For example, performing surgery on a pregnant woman with an aortic dissection.
It might require obstetricians to first perform a cesarean and remove the fetus, followed by cardiovascular surgeons to carry on with the aortic dissection operation.
Zhou Can's team is still new and relatively inexperienced.
