Week 8: Anais

 In my last week of immersion I got to observe some particularly tricky surgeries.  In the hysterectomy we observed, the patient had a c section scar that seemed to make it difficult to find where the uterus ended.  Additionally,  we observed an abdominal myomectamy.  This case had the largest fibroids I have seen in my time at Weill Cornell.  It must have been such a relief post surgery.  I also got to attend the clinic this week which further provided insight on the surgeries we have seen.  It was a particularly busy clinic day and I got to see a variety of birth control insertions and hysteroscopies.  Overall, this summer has been very enlightening and great to see how some of the things I have been researching translate in a clinical setting.  I am excited to take all I have learned and apply it to my research in Ithaca and I hope to continue to collaborate with Dr. Fenster.
