Hello all. We have made it to Dharan, Nepal. The flight was great and quite scenic. We caught a glimpse of the Himalayas through the haze. Our host sent a 2nd year surgery resident to meet us at the airport in Biratnagar. We then climbed into two hospital ambulances and headed off to the BP Koirala Medical Center in Dharan.
Yesterday evening, we met a number of patients and selected some for surgery on Sunday and Monday. We operated this morning on several cases: re-staging TURBT for bladder cancer, EUA for advanced bladder cancer, posterior urethral valves, and open pyelolithotomy for a large kidney stone. Everyone on the team is doing well and we are trying to settle in.
