ang Xingwen, a 49-year-old neurosurgeon at the Xuanwu Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University in Beijing, has performed over 4,000 surgical operations in his 24 years of career, sometimes working up to 22 hours at a time on cases of exceptional complexity. Out of the 640 operations he performed in 2023, only two resulted in failure. According to him, in neurosurgery, there should be no errors, as a single mistake can cause permanent damage. Therefore, the focus should be on improving the chances of success and minimizing the risks of failure.
