This also fully illustrates that in Liu Ziang's mind, Zhao Heng is on the same level as him. This recognition, in the entire Eastern Hospital, probably only Zhao Heng could have attained it.
"Let's take the retrosigmoid supracondylar, brainstem safe zone, olivary approach. Left post-auricular C-shaped incision, and conduct intraoperative MEP, SEP, and hypoglossal EMG monitoring."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and voiced his opinion, which was a combined conclusion from neurosurgery and anesthesiology.
This retrosigmoid approach craniotomy involves opening a bone flap via the retrosigmoid and supracondylar route, exposing the sigmoid sinus and foramen magnum, removing the outer margin of the foramen magnum, including the condylar fossa, and extensively exposing the cerebellomedullary cistern around the olive. The dura is incised along the sigmoid sinus and the incision extends downward through the foramen magnum.
