I think I understand it now, after a long day observing two surgeries which started from eight thirty in the morning to six thirty. To tell you the truth, I was forced to leave the operation room to leave me friend when the surgery was not finished that time!
The first one was to close up the abdomen of the patient who had Abdominal compartment syndrome. To cut a long story short, the patient came to the hospital with constipation. But as the investigation showed signs of obstruction, surgeons opened up him and found that his guts were so swollen, and his kidneys did not work. The diagnosis was made and the patient subsequently had five more operations performed, in order to close up his abdomen. Luckily, the surgery today was the last one. Solving this extremely complicated cases, everyone in the room was so pleased.
Of course, the patient would become the happiest person in the world after the surgery: the long mid-line incision over his abdomen was closed up by two plastic surgeons with continuous stitch!
