Tang Zheng, who had been in a medically induced coma, began his second surgery at 8:30 on Saturday morning.
Today's procedure was, relatively speaking, more important and more complex than yesterday's.
Berry, who had won the rock-paper-scissors match at the beginning, replaced Zhu Jian and joined Wang Chuan as Yan Feifan's surgical assistants.
As soon as the surgery began, Yan Feifan, fully rested and recharged after a night's sleep, got straight to the point.
He used his scalpel to make an incision on the uninjured skin of Tang Zheng's right cheek. He separated the muscle tissue, fully exposing a grayish-white nerve.
Most of the nerve's end had been dissected into two separate strands. A soft, biological isolation material was placed between them to prevent them from adhering and growing back together.
