Headline: Cancerous Kidney Removed Through The Naval
OK, so I’ve commented on similar articles before- still this is impressive.
And now for the real big one…
Headline: First Reported Case In The World: 7-Year-Old Girl Has Six Organs Removed For Tumor Surgery
FTA: A 7-year-old girl from Long Island, NY, is on her way home a little more than four weeks after receiving a historic surgery that involved the removal and partial re-implantation of six organs in order to resect an abdominal tumor that otherwise would be inoperable.
The 23-hour surgery, which began on Feb. 6, was led by Dr. Tomoaki Kato at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, and is the first reported pediatric case of its kind.
Yeah. Removed. Removed six. Removed six of her freaking organs! They took out her Large and Small intestines, her liver, her pancreas, her spleen and her stomach. They took them out. Then, after removing the tennis ball-sized tumor, put them back in.
Man, this story really makes all of the King’s horses and all of the King’s men look like asshats, huh?
