Fistula surgery video

« on: April 26, 2008, 07:42:24 PM »

I stumbled across a video of an actual fistula surgery in progress. I thought it would be interesting to see what actually goes on after the anesthesia kicks in.

Crap! I spent the entire video trying to read the subtitles. Now I'm going to have to go back and actually watch the video!

Thanks Adam, that was interesting.

Thanks I found it very interesting, as John has just had his done, we had not a clue as to what they did. Mind you John will not look at it, he just does not want to know

Adam.. what an excellant find.
Now I get the entire concept of a fistula as I stayed there too watching
a few more vids. Very informative!.. Thank you. Now I know what Keith was trying to
explain and teach me about more visually.
