Colon Cancer Surgery

After seeing countless pictures of the Colon Cancer surgery and numerous tweets which were tweeted during the operation, I was shocked to discover that the surgeons inserted a port which pumped carbon dioxide into the abdomen to create space because as well as a better view.  In my opinion the most amazing part of the surgery was when the team put laparascope (tiny videos) into the abdomen to create videos which helped learn more about the abdomen from the inside.  Some the parts that I learnt in class and I saw during the surgery was the colon.  The most interesting part was when I found out one of the tools used in this surgery which was called grasper, it was interesting because it allowed the surgeons to move as well as grasp the colon without
puncturing it.  Something new I learnt today that I did not know before was that the surgeons tattooed the tumor with ink to make it easier to find it.
