STORY 1: Northside Hospital Cherokee Has New Hysterectomy Option
Northside Hospital Cherokee now offers vNOTES, a minimally invasive hysterectomy technique, with Dr. Michael Litrel performing the first procedure on December 11. vNOTES uses the vagina as the access point, avoiding external incisions, and offers benefits like reduced surgical time, shorter hospital stays, less pain, no visible scars, and faster recovery. This method is used to treat conditions like fibroids and cancer. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends vaginal hysterectomy when possible. Northside Hospital also provides other minimally invasive options, including laparoscopic and robotic techniques, and offers vNOTES at Northside Atlanta.
STORY 2: Cherokee County Robotics Teams Advance to Super Regionals
Three Cherokee County School District teams advanced to the super regionals in the First LEGO League robotics competitions. Mill Creek Middle School's LEGO Cats – Pink and Gold teams, and Dean Rusk Middle School's Brick Army II team, earned high scores at regionals. Mill Creek's teams also won the Core Values award. The competitions involve designing and building robots with LEGO Mindstorms to solve missions and completing a research project on ocean exploration. Trophies are awarded in categories like Robot Design and Core Values. The super regional event, featuring top teams, will be hosted by Mill Creek Middle.
