RKYHS students participated in Liberty Science Center’s Live From Surgery program. Through video conferencing into a live surgery at Overlook Hospital, the students were led through a successful tumor removal on the spinal cord. Throughout the procedure, the students and the surgical team discussed a variety of topics such as possible complications, monitoring the patient’s vitals, anesthesia, X- rays, medications, recovery and the rewarding path to becoming a neurosurgeon. At RKYHS students learn science by doing science and observing a live surgery was an up close look at the surgical field.
