Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgeries


Recommended Posts

Now here's something you don't read every day....

In what is believed to be a world first, surgeons have removed a healthy kidney via a small incision in the back of the donor's vagina.

The operation, known as a transvaginal donor kidney extraction, was performed on a 48-year-old woman who was donating a kidney to her niece.

...Transvaginal kidney extraction is part of a new set of surgical procedures known as natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgeries (NOTES), whereby surgeons use a natural orifice to remove organs and other tissues.

Years ago I had a barium X-ray --- you know when they put a tap up your ass and treat your bowels like a water tank at an old steam whistle train stop ---- what was odd after it was over - was the medical licence on the wall -- His name was Doctor Orfice....no joke. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Alas, good doctor jokes are another victim of political correctness.

Tell me about it. A doctor by the name of Cox performed my vasectomy. A real charmer for sure. "Measure twice and cut once" I recall him chortling. He had this silent Goth-girl with bug-eyes and a bolt through her nose for a nurse. It was a little surreal.

So I wonder what orfice they'd use to get at a guy's kidney?
