longest surgery?

I had an exceptionally long case one time...I had been at work at 6 AM until 3 pm then an emergency case came in and since I was the "on call" person I got to enjoy the surgery. It was a knee scope that ended up with a ruptured popliteal artery and a ton of blood loss, it was the messiest, most exhausting case ever. It ended at 545 am the following morning, and I was expected to do my shift that day. Then to top if off- my NM says to me that I "forgot" to clock out the day before...No, I explained, I was there all night. She didn't believe me until she spoke to the doctor. Yeah that was just a nightmare.

Diep flap's last forever, never done one myself but seen them last from 0730 am to midnight and then come back in the middle of the night because it doesn't take, sucks! The nurses and techs have break coverage until 11pm and the surgeon's provided that everything is going well take breaks every couple of hours.
