Costa Rican Doctors Remove Gallbladder Through Vagina
Inside Costa Rica

Four Costa Rican women were the first in Central America to undergo a new procedure to remove the gallbladder through the vagina. The procedure is designed to cause less pain and scarring than a usual operation and allow a quick recovery. The operation allows the extraction of the gallbladder through natural openings of the body rather than cuts in the belly. The surgery still requires cutting, through the wall of the vagina, stomach or colon, but doctors say it should hurt less because those tissues are far less sensitive than the abdominal muscles.

The procedure, called Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), involves passing surgical instruments, and a tiny camera, through a natural orifice, such as the mouth or the vagina, to the desired organ. By avoiding major incisions through the skin, muscle, and nerves of the abdomen, patients may experience a quicker recovery with less pain and scarring while reducing the risk of post operative hernias. The procedure was first performed in France in 2007.

Costa Rican doctor Cinthya Solano decided to bring the procedure to Costa Rica where each year the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS or Caja) treats some 315.000 patients with gallbladder problems, which three out of ten require surgery. The gallbladder (or cholecyst, sometimes gall bladder) is a small non-vital organ which aids in the digestive process and stores bile produced in the liver. The first three procedures in Costa Rica were performed at the Caja hospital, the Hospital México, while the fourth was at the private hospital CIMA. Doctors report that none of the patients experienced complications and secondary effects.

I think that is fantastic 8) Adominal scarring leads to very loose scare tissure that is less flexable, weaker and more sensative to barometric pressure drops that can lead to pain. Thanks MG I will pass along 8)

Well, what else? You simply pull it out through your arse or your mouth, which as I understand, are entirely interchangeable with some people. Just kidding folks, I certainly wouldn't want to offend anyone. But here in the States, I certainly know a few who would qualify.....
