LexieCat Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I downloaded this video shortly after my VATS surgery because I wanted to see how they DID that--get that whole lobe out of those tiny incisions. I don't find this video to be particularly gruesome--there's not a whole lot of blood, but those who get queasy looking at this sort of thing might prefer to pass on it. I found it absolutely FASCINATING, personally. I found it especially cool how they use those staplers that cut and suture the blood vessels at the same time.
Judy M. Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 I love your inquiring mind. I also find this sort of thing fascinating and not disturbing. Will watch medical procedures on T. V. while my husband groans about how gross they are and asks me how I can stand to watch. Some must find it interesting else who would save our lives by actually doing these surgeries? Judy M.
BridgetO Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 I find it both interesting and disturbing. It didn't make me queasy, but I did find that I was holding my breath and had to remind myself to breathe.
Laurel Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 I watched some videos on VATS before my surgery. I found it informative.
PaulaC Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I had an open lobectomy but I found this video worth watching. I’m amazed at what surgeons can do.
LouT Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Wow Lexie...just watched this. Normally like watching these types of videos, but like BridgetO I found myself holding my breath...probably personalizing it too much. But knowledge is power even when it might be a bit uncomfortable. Thanks for posting.
Curt Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 I was able to watch this before. Just did. No wonder that larger incision under my arm hurt more than the rest.
