At first the trocar is attached to a suction pump via hose to slurp out organs and body tissue. When that&#8217;s done, the trocar is hooked up to a bottle of cavity fluid and waved around in the abdomen to fill the space where the organs were. The incision site is plugged up with a plastic plug called a trocar button. There. You should now be both nauseated and edified. I know I sure am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pushin&#8217; Daisies is a mortuary store with funeral, death, vampire, skull, etc. sort of novelties.
