Frankito, the Curious® said that he was discharged after surgery to correct an inguinal hernia, which he described as simple nowadays. He stated that he was impressed with the techniques involved, from anesthesia to videolaparoscopy, the use of CO₂, and the surgical screen to closing the skin with glue and the medications to prevent nausea and infections. The author noted that many of these techniques, as well as a large part of current medicine, are less than a century old. He said he feels fortunate to live in this historical moment, but emphasized that not everyone has access to the procedures and advocated for this and other surgeries to become universal. #Medicina #Tecnologia #Saúde (translated)
