Recently I read an article in the medical chronicals that blew me away. It was about a Doctor in New York (oh praise his alpha malesness) that is doing some experimental surgery... Wait for it... Trans-vaginal cholecystectomy!Oh my. Maybe it is because I have a vagina that this shocks me, but can you really imagine having your gallbladder (which lies up under your right ribs) removed through your vagina. THAT'S A DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 25CM! And exactly what our trans-vaginal cholecystectomy pioneer dude is attempting.
The article claims that it will cause less pain, less scarring and quicker recovery! As it is, the conventional way to remove a gallbladder is via laproscope. So... you choose: 5 small (1-2cm) cuts in your abdomen or getting the think yanked through your love hole?
This just proves the point that male doctors have no absolutely no cooking clue about female systems.
Let's see how much he would like the surgery if we did it trans-urethrally (that's up the japs eye for our non medical readers).

The other option is through the mouth.
You can go back to work the same day.
I too posted on this on my all things silly blog -- Crabmommy.
It does indeed seem weird. I am sure it's "non-invasive" to the docs but hey, I'm not so sure.
you know what i did last friday Steve?
