"Trip to the OR pt. 2..."

Our second part of the OR viewing session was to observe a surgery of a man who had an infection in has jaw when he was young.  The infection caused him to have ankylosis (lock jaw) for 37 years!  It was amazing watching Dr. Gary work on this man.  I never thought I would see what looked like wood chisels and saws in an operation.  Thankfully the man was sedated!!

After his surgery, he will have to work hard on stretching his jaw again and train the muscles how to move again.  Thankfully, he will be able to move his jaw again!
