I would love to follow your path, I am in Dallas, and my care team (not a COE) told me they do robotic myomectomy through the ribs, but other sources I find keep indicating that it has not been studied or published enough. I am meeting with that surgeon at the end of January and am gathering questions to ask. After all of my research thus far, he will have to really convince me that it is the way to go because I am leaning against it. Apparently, there are a lot of lifelong consequences if they don't get it right, i.e., thin the septal wall too much could mean a permanent pacemaker, etc. Good Luck!

You are wise to study this minimally invasive procedure further. I wonder if the exact location of the myectomy is significant in the success rate. It is not uncommon for septal myectomy patients to need a pacemaker (it was decided I needed one 4 months after my surgery). When choosing where to have surgery, I chose a COE place, extremely glad I did. That said, one size does not fit all.
