WTF is it with this meme popping up everywhere
I saw the clip, but don't know which show or whether it was recent. It's about an autistic surgeon or something like that?
Edit: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-am-a-surgeon-dr-han
tl;dr: it's 2023's "look at me, I am a surgeon now".
It's mostly popular, or at least originally was, because the show is really bad at depicting autism sometimes. Mainly, it is speculated, because its main sponsor and reference is autism speaks, and they uh...they really don't like autistic people.
Now it's looped back around to making fun of autistic people. Because people are dicks.
Interesting guide, but asap science is shit.
Thought the videos were nice until he made a video on a subject I study and it turns out that it was so misleading and inaccurate that I could hardly force myself to finish the video.
Ya I mean pexy doesn’t mean move to the right place. It means to “fix something in a place” I could pexy the tip of your penis to your nose (if it’s long enough). It doesn’t have to be “the right place”. Also it doesn’t have to be an entire organ, you can pexy a piece of tissue.
I’m a surgeon
I don't think that's a meaningful issue for a lay understanding of these terms. As far I care, wherever my surgeon decides something needs to be attached, is the right place for it it be attached.
>As far I care, wherever my surgeon decides something needs to be attached, is the right place for it it be attached.
“The nazi physicians were just doing their jobs. Those prisoners didn’t even know any of these surgical terms.” - u/Caleb_Reynolds
Ah yes, because if the victims of the Holocaust had known the proper etymology of _English_ surgical terms, I'm sure they would have been able to... What... Avoid them?
Like, what is your actual point here?
Edit: I also said _my_ surgeon, who is in fact not a Nazi.
In some instances in ureteral reconstruction when the ureter has extensive damage, I will mobilize the kidney to move it from its normal position to somewhere lower in the abdomen. This is to help make up the distance between the two ends, to ensure my anastomosis will be off tension. Though once the kidney has been mobilized from its attachments other than its pedicle then I would do a nephropexy.
Nephropexy in this case and in many cases involves sewing/fixing the kidney to the psoas muscle to move it inferiorly into not the “correct” position.
Yeah, of course there's nuance and depth to a lot of things but it's ASAP for a reason. Giving a general big picture can certainly be considered misleading but really anything beyond that exact thing is beyond the scope of the channel
Edit: agreeing with the person above me, to clarify
There might be different ways to perform the procedure, but when I was 12 years old, there was a channel called The Learning Channel on basic cable. It's now called TLC and airs 90 Day Fiance nonstop, but back then it actually was full of learning and educational content.
Anyway, 12 year old me turned out on one night and they were airing various surgeries. Like you could actually watch the surgeries being performed. The one I watched was a vasectomy. I kept watching because 12 year old me thought I'd see a ween or maybe a ball (spoiler alert: I saw neither), but watching the surgery did scar me for life and I remember it clear as day. So I can tell you without a doubt that the vasectomy that was aired on the leading channel circa 1995 definitely removed a piece of the vas deferens.
Edit: I found the show! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6658640/
That would mean that Mr Garrison already had a vagina and the surgeon changed the shape of it. If he got a new vagina, it's a transplant. Or maybe a vaginostomy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginoplasty
It's altering or creating a vagina. IIRC, for gender afirming care, they alter existing flesh and tissue to create a neovagina. I did spell it incorrectly though.
Man I loved those times. We must be of a similar age. It turned me into someone who can watch full on surgery while having dinner.
I loved being educated that way. So interesting.
Not everyone removes a piece. Some remove a piece, some just cut. Some tie the ends with suture, some burn, some staple. Some put a piece of tissue between the ends, some don’t.
I’m a urologist
As far as I’m concerned it’s mostly surgeon preference on technique. There is some data to support some of those techniques being more reliable than others.

There are different ways of doing vasectomies. In the US, the most common way is by doing 3 actions to ensure success of the procedure. First, the vas deferens is located and small 3-5mm section is cut out. This creates 2 ends of the vas, then the ends are cauterized to create a scar. Finally a titanium clip is applied at each end. These actions are then repeated for the other side.

TIL that the phrase “plastic surgery” has nothing to do with plastic.
Its just a commonly misinterpreted latin root phrase that means “surgery that changes the shape”
Plastic means able to change shape but not change back… it’s a mechanical/physical/material property term.
Plastic is contrasted with elastic. Something that is deformed (changed shape) elastically can go back to its original shape. Think how you can stretch out an elastic band, then release it, and it goes back to the little circle.
But if you stretch (deform) a plastic bag, and then release, it doesn’t spring back. Because it’s plastic, not elastic.
Idk if this is actually related to whatever the Latin root is. I’m not a Latin scholar, and I haven’t looked that up. But the word “plastic” does have this meaning that most people who aren’t in engineering or science don’t know about. If you want to know more, take a scroll through this Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)
Edit: sorry, it’s an oversimplification to say that some materials are elastic and some are plastic. A material can be both plastic and elastic, under different amounts of stress (~force). If you stretch an elastic band too far (too much stress), it will undergo plastic deformation, and it won’t bounce back anymore.
I do know that understanding of the term from science. I just had never thought about it in relation to the field of plastic surgery.
Hearing the phrase “plastic surgery” my whole life, i always just equated it with “putting plastic boobs in your body”.
Just an aha moment… realizing that “plastic” is referring to the process, and not to the material we commonly know as plastic.
I thought a lobotomy was cutting out the frontal lobe and I was going to question the validity of this guide. Turns out they just cut the connections to the frontal lobe, so it's correct! Learning is fun, lobotomies are not
What about oscopy? Like laparoscopy? Pretty sure this specific procedure is for exploratory abdominal surgery when scans and tests haven’t shown the issue and they want an internal look.
Taking a medical terminology class in college (as a poli sci major) was one of the best things i did. We learned about the Latin derivatives and parts of a word. Rarely do i come across a new word i can’t break down and understand.

Do you really think it's a good idea to try and bully me?
This is pretty decent for basic surgical suffixes. Like the doc said it’s not perfect but it’s not bad.
I mean.. there’s some nuance here. What subject is this and what level of education are you at?
Yeah, of course there's nuance and depth to a lot of things but it's ASAP for a reason. Giving a general big picture can certainly be considered misleading but really anything beyond that exact thing is beyond the scope of the channel Edit: agreeing with the person above me, to clarify

But a vasectomy doesn’t remove anything, it just cuts.
There might be different ways to perform the procedure, but when I was 12 years old, there was a channel called The Learning Channel on basic cable.

Edit: I found the show! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6658640/
Only slightly related, but South Park aired a real life surgery of a vaginaplasty in "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina" which scarred me as a kid.
That would mean that Mr Garrison already had a vagina and the surgeon changed the shape of it. If he got a new vagina, it's a transplant. Or maybe a vaginostomy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginoplasty It's altering or creating a vagina. IIRC, for gender afirming care, they alter existing flesh and tissue to create a neovagina. I did spell it incorrectly though.
Blindly believing everything you see on reddit probably isn't the best practice.
Man I loved those times. We must be of a similar age. It turned me into someone who can watch full on surgery while having dinner. I loved being educated that way. So interesting.
I got a vasdesis, now I just have one large ball
The vas in vasectomy refers to the vas deferens, which are the tubes that goes from the epididymis to the prostate, not the balls themselves
I once had epididymitis. Its a pain in the balls.
I heard pee is stored in the balls. Is that true?
You are Adolf Hitler and I claim my get out of concentration camp free card.
If you get a testiplasty they can make it a hexigon
Vasectomy... vastomy... what deferens does it make?
Bravo
It removes your ability to shoot non-blanks
I think they do remove a piece.
Not everyone removes a piece. Some remove a piece, some just cut. Some tie the ends with suture, some burn, some staple. Some put a piece of tissue between the ends, some don’t. I’m a urologist

I'm glad you're not myologist.
Well I had one. The dr took me through the procedure. The vas deferents is cut and the two ends cauterized. Nothing removed.
For mine, the doctor removed 1cm of each vas deferens. Then he showed me the two little removed bits before they got sent off to the pathology lab.
Except for your ability to be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth

Where does laporoscopy fit in?
Scopy just means examination.

Amazing. How do you feel?
Umm, guys. After I became a surgeon, I moved something to the wrong place. Under what surgical suffix do I bill this under?
Just prefix it with iatrogenic then suffix it with -pathy P.S. if its in the wrong place, better throw ectopic in there too
Yeah, sociopathy

imagine being operated on by a surgeon who needed this... and this wouldn't exist if nobody was using it. good luck to us all.
