Uh...What?

CNN news headline online yesterday.

"Surgeons remove healthy kidney through donor's vagina"


Uh...What?

Url is HERE

Um...what?

"Removing the kidney through a natural opening should hasten the patient's recovery and provide a better cosmetic result," Montgomery said."

Huh?

" The three-hour procedure typically allows the donor to return home within 24 hours.

The more traditional surgery requires a 5- to 6-inch incision through the abdominal wall and generally is followed by two or three days of hospitalization.

"If you asked our patient, she said it was like getting a tooth removed. She was walking that night and left the next day," Montgomery said."


Say Whatnow?

"The procedure is done by inserting 'wand-like cameras and tools' through small incisions in the abdomen and navel."

We're not following you...

"A kidney weighs approximately one pound and is roughly the size of a clenched hand."

So wait...you took the...and the kidney...but...patient...incision...what?

Our reaction can only be descibed as something along the lines of:


Mooooooooole.
