After opening Duan Yu's abdominal cavity and draining the accumulated fluid, Yan Feifan conducted a thorough visual and manual examination. He found that her injuries were, for the most part, exactly as he had analyzed.
The bullet had passed through the descending colon and perforated the jejunum in three places before losing all its momentum.
It was inside a section of the jejunum that Yan Feifan located the wandering bullet.
After removing the bullet, Yan Feifan performed another exhaustive check of her abdominal cavity.
Liver and kidneys, normal.
Uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, normal.
Confirming that only Duan Yu's intestinal system was damaged allowed Yan Feifan to relax. He then began the debridement and suturing portion of the surgery.
Intestinal surgery is a common procedure in general surgery, one that surgeons frequently encounter during their internships and residencies.
