I saw the result of a hemicolectomy yesterday. a good 15 to 20cm piece of colon with a bit of surrounding tissue in a bucket which my colleague brought down to pathology.
Fascinating stuff.
And another fun fact: After a surgery in the digestive tract the docs don't pay much attention to how the colon was in the stomach before, they just stuff it back in and get done with it. That is not a joke or an exaggeration btw.
I wonder what else I'll see in the next 8 months.
