I think it is actually quiet "cool" actually. I'm not intimidated, concerned, or grossed out by any of that... but then I've seen much worse surgeries There are a LOT of proceedures where they simply dump your internal organs onto your outer body so they can get to the bit they want or achieve what they need to achieve. When they put it all back in, they often just push it in - amzingly the body is able to realign the organs to where they need to be (of course, there is some order in what goes back first!). For me, the worst part of ANY surgery is the diathermy. The best way I can describe it is to say it is like a welding iron but it is used to zap small bleeding blood vessels. To me, it smells like Pork and it is DISGUSTING. I can't stand it!

Great article!
