My day in the OR!

No I didn't bring Smorey into the OR.
But when I got home I showed him a few things I saw today
Cute scrubs! I actually got to wear light blue scrubs today, but them and their germs stayed at the hospital



The oxygen mask! Time for a nap Smorey!



Today I observed a robotic ovary and fallopian tube removal (bilateral salpingoophorectomy BSO), and a normal (not robotic) ovary tubes and uterus removal (TAHBSO). The robot looks sort of like a spider, and works by just making 4 holes in the abdomen and inserting very small arms and a camera. The doctor controls the robot from a computer with joysticks n stuff. Much less invasive, so a faster recovery time.

Time for your robotic chocolate-ectomy Smorey!
