Greetings,
David Meier



Appendix removal could be for tissue harvesting. Also

>>PREPARATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE

>>I was given sedative medicines through my mouth. I was

>>ARRANGEMENTS AFTER THE PROCEDURE
>>
>>They checked my urine output alot after. I had UVs for

>>just a mask. I had catheter, so that they could make

>>COMMENTS
>>
>>This was a surgery where hernia was one purpose, and
>>that they fixed an urether and removed the appendix
>>also. It looks like they made the incision in such a
