heavyphil,
Thank you for your reply and for the information. I am posting for my husband who just had the procedure.
Because he won’t post about it. It seems like it should have been straightforward but for an equipment failure during surgery. The machine that ‘vacuums’ out the debris failed. The hospital had a backup machine which also failed (?!)and a third was sent over from another facility. They had to wake him up while they waited for the third machine so that he wouldn’t be under so long. This was more traumatic than it needed to be. Hard to say how much of recovery delay is due to that.
When I first posted, not realizing that I was in a CA thread, I was asking about what benefits people had experienced from this procedure.
