Messy work



[BashirH]

i'm so not looking forward to this

[misand08]

Had a surgery like this done 10 days ago..... tried to watch this video 2 months ago, without daring. Tonight I dared and was amased.. I have to shake that surgeons hand for several minutes next time I see him. Although I thought he was an idiot before the operation. Anyone who need to have this done, go to Odense University Hospital to have it done;-) Here, not 2 weeks after, I'm home and well.

how the fuck did i end up watching this from minecraft videos -.- youtube

[kardfan8]

WOW!!! Surgery is cool.

[MrAshtongrist]

I think they needed suction

[jerimiahyoo]

300 years from now when people are shrunken to do surgery like this with a team of 25 doctor/engineers. They will wonder how the ancients were able to do these operations with just 2 pieces of tool made of metal and electricity, and the will of just 1 main surgeon.

[MrAshtongrist]

@jerimiahyoo Unless the young doctors of today change feilds I imagine they won't need to. They will be those doctors.

[AaronDude77]

..Am i the only one who finds surgery entertaining ._. anyway, Thanks for the captions, it would've been hard to follow what you were doing, good job.

[bodybuildMD]

@AaronDude77 You're not alone, I enjoy it as well. That's why I'm pursuing my dream of going to Medical School. If you have an interest, maybe you should too :)

[art4med]

Is that a dull curette or are you using the wrong hand? OH, I see-- you are *sucking the tissue thru the curette!

[art4med]

Thanks. Amazing optics. Does your micro-kerrrison have suction? Please add films at front of video, and PO MR at end.

[GeYoGO]

Thanks for using the captions, it makes it a lot easier to follow

[Carlosmanson8]

Wow, really amazing. Thanks for this information.

[michealmyershomie]

[spinbaba]

Why not use a tumour-conforming gamma knife or other similar non-invasive technique?

[lty2k84]

@spinbaba Soo agree. They could of meshed as well.

[BlikeNave]

Omg soooo gross!

[cine121]

it's amazing to see the procedure for the first time, i underwent pituitary tumor removal twice, once in 2005, then in 2007. no radiation therapy was possible for me, but hopefully no further surgery is necessary. unfortunately, medication for life is.

[RayKingsMD]

@cine121 I wish you all the best!

[Janson540123]

So wuts all the black skin when hes removing the tumor

[bsimmons389]

@Janson540123 I think that's the coagulated meninges to stop, or prevent more bleeding than necessary.

[Raedwulfiggie]

@Janson540123 Coagulated..

Burnt..to stop bleeding

[thamer0assaf]

amazing



[Thrills2010]

Thanks for posting this Brianiac50

[berto0069]

do you take medicaid???

[Bobman4671]

Does the patient have to be awake during this?

[bibi5027]

@Bobman4671 ee

[Thrills2010]

@Bobman4671 no, speaking from experience the patient is under anastisia and unaware until he/she wakes up in post-op/Recovery. I had this procedure prfromed twice. Once in 1995 at Presbitirian Hospital in Charlotte NC. The second was preformed in 1998 at Charlottlesville Va.

Both times after sugery i had to go thru 4 weeks of intense Radiation Therapy, and after all these years i'm still dealing with the after effects from the Acromegaly.

[HurricaneOneoa515]

What was the outcome for the patient on this?

[nataliepkelley]

Oh my...that's something! Last name is spelled Kelley.
