This week began with the shadowing of several hysteroscopy procedures. Many were polypectomies which we were familiar with both in the OR and clinic. The case that surprised me most was the cystectomy for removal of a cyst in the ovaries. The cyst contains many lobules, and Dr. Fenster emphasized the importance of removing all lobules, no matter how small, as the cyst may grow back. The process was also interesting to observe, as it required careful manipulation of the tissues and had me curious on the recovery process of ovarian tissue and function post surgery at the cellular level. This week, I also shadowed Dr. Fenster in the clinic. It was particularly gratifying to be present at some of the post-op appointments, as they were patients as they were patients whose surgeries we had observed in previous weeks; many reported feeling significantly better.
