They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Evidently, the way to a woman's gallbladder is through her...vagina.
The NY Times is reporting that Doctors have successfully removed a patient's gallbladder by passing instruments through her vajayjay rather than cutting through her belly. Dr's say the technique "will cause less pain and scarring" by "eliminating the need to cut through abdominal muscles, a major source of pain after the surgery."
The surgeon who performed the procedure, Dr. Marc Bessler, was quoted as saying: “Going through a natural orifice, the mouth or rectum or vagina, to get into the abdomen and do an operation, is being excitedly worked on by a whole lot of people." And Dr. Bessler is giddy as a schoolgirl. He even plans to show video of the surgery at a conference in Las Vegas this Sunday. Dr. Rosenrosen is bringing chips. Party on.
These excitable specialists have even formed their very own professional organization called, the Natural Orifice Surgery Consortium for Assessment & Research, or NOSCAR. No kidding. Their goal: to make surgery less and less invasive. And sticking specialized surgical stainless steel up a person's who-ha, grabbing an internal organ and pulling out, seems to qualify as "less invasive". It's rumored that Kyle Busch has already signed on as spokesperson for the group. I think he should have read that contract a little more carefully.
The article also mentions this equally fleshy fact: "Interest in this idea heightened after doctors from India made a video in 2004 showing an appendix being taken out through a patient's mouth." I just hope there is no need for me to have my tonsils removed any time soon. Although, the other day, someone did request that I pull my own head out of my ass.

Huh. I guess I don't completely get it since you still have to cut through stuff to get to the thing you're removing. Like pulling and apendix our of a mouth? Huh? You can't just pull it out through the digestive system. Wait a minute, is this a joke?
ReplyDeleteHa! One Dr says she's repulsed and then says she gives them credit for trying new things! That's funny. I'm surprised a Dr would say she was repulsed.
ReplyDeleteIt's all true. Crazy huh? It seems like there's greater potential for things to go wrong whenever your pulling anything out of a natural orifice.
