Excellent!<BR/><BR/>Interesting thoughts on the use of electrocautery on the subcutis and subcutaneous fat. Most surgeons I've seen do just that. Even seen a couple who used cautery from the first incision. I've often wondered what the exact reason to switch to cautery was, as the subcutaneous tissue don't seem to bleed more with surgeons who use a knife all the way through the abdominal wall, like you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-91813805190251425042007-05-27T09:00:00.000-07:002007-05-27T09:00:00.000-07:00Very interesting!

It's such a good feeling.<BR/><BR/>And even after having done 500+ c-sections, I still take a deep breath before making that skin incision. Although mostly, now, the residents do it, and I just try to pretend to trust them implicitly... which requires a lot of deep breathsMidwife with a Knifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309579302399381913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-12475592728554233152007-05-16T13:14:00.000-07:002007-05-16T13:14:00.000-07:00Dr. Schwab,How brilliant!

I also liked your line about the moment when you begin the cut, and how there's nothing else. The words of a great artist having entered his cathedral.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
