colon surgery video

Colon Cancer Surgery Reflection
  After watching the video I thought it was really col to see how they inflated the persons stomach with Co2 to have more space and better view for the surgery. The video I watched went on for quite a while and it was crazy to see how slowly but how much co2 was put into the persons stomach and how much it expanded. It was really disgusting yet interesting to see how things from inside look and I find it crazy how doctors actually touch, cut and move things from your body.  I learnt that the colon is a part of our large intestine. Another interesting fact is that you do not have to receive symptoms to have colon cancer it could be growing inside you for a couple years. A way to find out is after a body scan and the cause of colon cancer is when your cells do not function properly.



When  the doctors were pumping in the CO2, to inflate the abdomen to have a better view and more space.
Staples used to connect the small bowel to the colon.
