Even under the highest magnification of the surgical microscope, the retinal nerve that Lin Jie saw was only about two or three times thicker than a strand of hair.
He needed to first cut off the atrophied end of the retinal nerve to expose a fresh wound surface, then cautiously pull over a strand of optic nerve fiber for anastomosis, and use a specially formulated quick-setting biological adhesive to fix the connection point.
Throughout the process, Lin Jie's entire body had to remain motionless, relying solely on the subtle movements of his fingers to manipulate the fine surgical instruments and complete the operation.
This was truly a case where a tiny deviation could lead to a major error.
Should Lin Jie even slightly move excessively, the custom-made microsurgical forceps in his hand would stray out of the microscopic surgical field, wasting all the preparatory work that had been done.
