Today I got to do my first surgery. The residents were all busy, so I got to do the case with the attending. We did a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery wedge resection for a small lung cancer. I got to open the chest, feel the lesion with my finger, and fire the stapler across the lung to resect the wedge. It was awesome!
