OK, the story just got me home from surgery on Thanksgiving day, and then I remembered what I forgot.
The surgery I opted for is a radical prostatectomy via da Vinci surgery, a robotic assisted procedure. What I forgot was to ask the surgeon if he had a video of either my or a generic procedure. Well, this morning I remembered I had yet to follow through on my interest, so I went online and guess what I found?
If you have an interest in things technical and surgical, below is a link you can follow to see a portion of the surgery. I have five "ports" in my abdomen through which arms of the da Vinci robot did it's work...you'll see three instruments in this video, and you're looking at the action through the same instrument the surgeon uses to direct the other "arms." Enjoy!
