CSI last night - abdominal cavity

Did any of my hystersisters see CSI last night of the autopsy of a woman who had had a hysterectomy?OMG!!!!!!I was lying there still feeling pain and sharp stiches wondering if this was normal then I saw the guy on CSI say "where is all her stuff"Then they showed her body ....just a head and a big cavity.Well I nearly fell out .I did not know whether to cry or laugh. Thats me, just one big cavity that hurts.

LOL We tivoed it so I'll watch it tonight. ilovegolf

Nope wish I could of. I so want to see a hyster done. I know that is weird but I am very interested to see what they did, what was contected to what, where everything is right now. I tried to look on line, but only advertising tools. Someone said maybe my doctor videoed it!

If you really want to see the procedure try going to U Tube and type in hyterectomy operation. I watched a LSH procedure there because I was curious too! It was filmed at a medical center. It was pretty amazing. ilovegolf

Yes, I saw it! I love CSI and I loved the line "where is all her stuff?" It was great especially for all of us hyster-sisters.

OMG - I nearly fell off the couch when they said "all her girl stuff is gone" My husband laughed till I nudged the back of his head.

BTW - vodka soaked tampons??????

FotoFreak - there are a couple of links mentioned on this site but here is one that I found.

I tried to watch the hysterectomy but got too grossed out. I can't help but wonder if the patient who was video taped knows that her surgery is on the web. I felt self-conscious enough going into surgery and being put under without thinking about everyone and their brother being able to watch!!!

MMM

Ladies, if you really want to see a video of a hysterectomy, you can go to Resources on the HysterSisters home page, then click on Surgery Videos. I don't know that I could have handled it before my surgery, but it did explain a few things afterwards. The vaginal cuff, for instance. I never saw any dissolved stitches come out -- I guess because they stitch it from the inside.

Six and a half weeks post-op and packing for a 1,700-mile-round-trip motorcycle ride. Leaving Monday a.m. May 12th has been my goal date for a long time. There were days in the first 2 weeks when I didn't think I'd make it, but I'm feeling great and so ready for a change of scenery.

Enjoy the video! It's not as gross as you'd think.

Yah it was tough to watch and at the begining of the one I watched the doctor mentioned that the patient agreed to be the "Star" of the film. I did notice that 1. her full name is not mentioned. and 2. never showed her face. I do wonder if she got a discount on her surgery? I will also admit I didn't eat grilled meat for a few days.

I also watched that CSI (I love that show). It really isn't like that because all the organs fill in the space. A mesentery membrane surrounds each organ and it will stay within its position in our body but fill the space.
