Yellow squash essentially has no fat -- a 1-cup portion provides only 0.2 g. Keeping your calories low but building a balanced meal does not have to be mutually exclusive.
Pros and cons: Nuss vs Ravitch. Whereas the Ravitch Procedure offers less pain after the procedure, the Nuss procedure gives a better cosmetic result. Dr. Hans Pilegaard primarily uses the Nuss procedure as it is the best option for most patients with pectus excavatum â even for patients older than 30 years.
In a total hysterectomy, the entire uterus and cervix are removed (ovary status is officially referred to separately). Total hysterectomy can be done abdominally (abbreviated TAH), with an incision most often these days made along the bikini line. In more emergent situations, a vertical type of incision is made through the abdominal wall from the belly button to the pubis. This type of surgery required more downtime and healing time as well. TAH can also be performed through the vagina, with no large incision through the belly. If this procedure is an option, it may be one to consider as the healing time will be less. The newer and more sophisticated procedures use laparoscopy to assist the hysterectomy procedure.
