Surgery in Sevilla

This Tuesday I took the high speed train to Seville to help a colleague with a difficult case. A patient with a huge prostate.

It was kind of weird to see that in the contiguous theatre a group of urologists struggled with an open prostatectomy in a patient with BPH... I was suprised to see how in the same moment in history, in the same place, a patient received the classic treatment and another patient the modern Greenlight laser treatment. Our patient left home the morning after and the other patient will have to stay at least 5 days in hospital, and will leave anemic, after having endured the postoperative recovery of open surgery....

The operation went fine, although it was a long one (I delivered 800.000 Joules) and then I took the train back to Madrid.
