Surgeons in Maryland recently removed a kidney, needed for a transplant, through a woman's vagina instead of the regular laparascopic approach. I think that is incredible. Take that David Copperfield or David Blaine! I bet neither of you can remove a kidney through a vagina. I just hope these surgeons don't get too cocky and move their show to Vegas like Siegfried and Roy or Celine Dion. I mean, look what happened to them? Their careers are over.The ingenuity of today's transplant surgeons are impressive but this whole story was really popular because of the exit approach. Who thinks of removing organs from the vaginal orifice anyway? The press loves that kind of stuff. As a run-of-the-mill family doc doing Paps, I have found many "things" in that area but never a kidney. I know a doc who once found an old licence plate. Wait a minute, that was the movie Jaws. Sorry.
