Surgeon Mothers Offer Practical Advice for Operating While Pregnant

In the latest episode of The House of Surgery, Drs. Katrin Arnolds and Ana Peña discuss the realities of operating while pregnant. Drawing from their experiences as surgeons and mothers, they share practical guidance for staying safe and comfortable in the OR, managing prenatal appointments, navigating workplace expectations, and minimizing exposure to radiation, anesthesia gases, surgical smoke, chemotherapy agents, and other potential hazards. This conversation offers valuable insights for pregnant surgeons, trainees, and anyone working alongside pregnant members of the surgical team.
