The Alexis wound retractor is a device that is used during surgery to hold the wound open for surgeons to access the body cavity. They typically are included in the surgical count to avoid complications like this. #surgery #operatingroom #doctorexplains | Dr. Betsy Grunch - Ladyspinedoc

(Go watch “Sandy” parts 1-4 first!) I am not sure how this Alexis retractor wasn’t counted in, how it all ended up inside the abdomen (part of it stays out during a c-section) and how it wasn’t felt by her provider or labor and delivery nurse duirng her c-section recovery or postpartum stay 😬 #csection #postoperativecare #csectionbirth #CSectionRecovery #postpartumjourney #postpartumtips #pregnancy | Mama Nurse Tina
