Talk:Hemicorporectomy

veiled reference
I find it extremely hard to believe that sawing a woman in half is some sort of 'veiled reference' to hemicorporectomy.--Pharos 18:36, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Probably isn't. Or at least, no more than that that's one subconscious fear that magicians can exploit to gain emotional involvement of the audience.  Pakaran (ark a pan) 19:11, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

RoboCop?
I'm not sure the RoboCop reference is really relevant to what's primarily a medical issue. Furthermore, I can think of a lot more bisection injuries in movies (notably the Scary Movie series), but I don't think that's really relevant to this article. Plus once we get a list of such fictional incidents started, we'll get a whole bunch of weird stuff that will be damn hard to verify. I'm taking it out in a few weeks unless anyone objects. --Coolcaesar 03:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Do it. While you're at it remove the Jedi reference. I mean for goodness sake, if we're gonna mention every single individual in fiction who ever had such an injury... Anyway I thought 'Robocop' only lost his legs, not his entire lower extremities. Jquarry 08:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Blog
Say, the blog linked in the article seems to have been abandoned. Anybody got any news about this? Cheers, Ouro (blah blah) 09:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

As an RN with quite a bit of experience in ER and gen surg there's to me something VERY off about this blog. Its a load of perverse wishful-thinking as far as I'm concerned. He's even got a trachi! Some boy has serious hospital/surgical fantasies. I hope no-one falls for this bs and I recommend the link be removed asap Plutonium27 21:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Survivor?
I understand it's a serious procedure (although in his article Masterson mentions survival statistics ranging between 70% and 30% for benign and malignant cases, respectively), but isn't it overly cold to refer to the patients as "survivors" throughout the entire prosthesis part?

 * Fixed; the word "patient" is used elsewhere in the article, anyway. Besides, it's understood that they survived (otherwise they wouldn't be receiving prostheses), so it was kind of overstating the obvious. intooblv (talk) 19:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

No consensus to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:26, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Hemicorporectomy → Paracorporectomy — Should be moved to Paracorporectomy, as "hemicorporectomy" is technically incorrect; this is even noted in the article itself. Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 14:31, 3 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Appears to be a proposal to promote the correct term over the common term, see Google . Wikipedia is not the place for this, the policy is very clear. Andrewa (talk) 19:17, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It appears "paracorporectomy" originates right here on Wikipedia. 69.3.72.249 (talk) 16:15, 5 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Tyrol5   [Talk]  19:49, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Matto  paedia  Say G'Day!  05:12, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose because as a search term in PubMed "paracorporectomy" returns 0 articles; "hemicorporectomy" returns 63.  69.3.72.249 (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

sawing a women in half, magic trick
I don't feel this is an appropriate or relevant link to include in the see also section. I'm removing it Kap 7 (talk) 21:15, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I disagree. The magic trick is clearly relevant in the sense that most people are under the impression that a traumatic hemicorporectomy is what happens when the magic trick fails. That was the entire point of the "Sleight Out of Hand" episode on CSI:NY in season three. --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:05, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
