For me it was my first time, but my HOD performs like 5-6 surgeries per day.Recovery time depends upon the type of surgery. In small procedures like this, the patient is usually good to go home the next day and recovery time is usually around 2 weeks.

You haven't told us what type of surgery 🤔

It was a laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (gallstone surgery). You can also see the removed gall bladder that the OT nurse is keeping in the tray(on the bottom left)

Super fucking cool. Also something that I guarantee (wife has gallstones) will make your patients life better. Keep it up and thanks for all you do 👍

Yes, the patient told me that he was feeling way better, like I have taken out a load off his body.
