Surgical Oncology: Day 4

I was in the OR on one procedure for 11 hours today, so I'll make this short! It was a whipple procedure, which is a pancreatoduodenojejunostomy plus a few extra touches. I want to write everything out that I saw and learned today, but 14 hours of standing with my arms above my belly button but below my nipples to stay sterile during the procedure made me tired... Yes I was scrubbed in for a relatively rare and famous surgery- I was even allowed to transact the jejunum three times! Which was really cool. Anyway I'm off to bed I'll explain more tomorrow hopefully!!!!
