"Natural Orifice" Surgery Through Vagina

Oooo…There’s something cringe-inducing about having your appendix removed through your vagina. Uh… What happens if your a guy? In a bid to do away with the scarring, pain and the long recoveries surgeons are using a technique called “natural orifice” surgery.

In a surgical first, doctors at the University of California, San Diego, removed the appendix of a 24 year-old patient through her vagina. Through a small incision in the wall of the patient’s vagina, they passed surgical tools and a small camera removing the appendix, through the same incision. A small cut was also made in the bottom of the patient’s bellybutton to insert a camera to help guide surgery. I think I’d rather have the scar thank you very much.

In a laparoscopy, the appendix gets pulled out of your belly button... Which is what happened to me. And I certainly didn't like it! So... Yah. I can only imagine this new procedure is even more enjoyable.
