Teratoma cut open
Teratoma
Dr.Chiou rocking a polyp removal surgery
Surgery day. Dr.Chiou’s first surgery was a polyp removal in the uterus, the surgery was very fast. The big surgery of the day was the teratoma removal. The surgery went quite smoothly. When the teratoma was removed, it was immediately sent to the lab to be analyzed. At that point the surgery was at a standstill. Dr. Chiou needed to know whether or not if it was malignant. After half an hour the lab calls and says that the specimen is an immature teratoma, which means Dr. Chiou needed to remove the rest of the ovary and fallopian tube on the patient’s right side.
