Which is your favorite surgery/procedure?
1 Comment Published by JonMikel, M.D. September 25th, 2006 in Medical Images, Daily Medical LifeEveryone have a predilection of a rare surgical procedure.
My favorite surgical procedure is the left thoracoabdominal esophagogastrectomy (proximal esophagogastrectomy with esophagogastrostomy), it is a difficult and plaintiff procedure and not too common, because of its high morbidity and mortality rates.
I have been assisting on once recently and it was nice to be there. Here is a picture of the dissected and tubulized stomach. It requires hard work and perfectly know the anatomy of the region. It is pretty challenging for all the people involved, from patient, to surgeon, anesthesiologist, etc.

What is your favorite surgery and why?
