The problem is that there really isn't a lot of surgeons who do this so it's hard to get a second opinion....;) But my Gi recomended this doc, and he is the only one in Cincinnati Childrens who performs this surgery.. According to him, he performs this surgery about once every 3-4 months, and 80% of patients are totally "cured". He said that he used to just do laproscopic but started robotic a few years ago and hasn't gone back since its easier and safer to do because he can get into tighter spaces...

wow 80 percent that is good my vascular doctor gave a 50 percent my doctor also stressed it would cost 100,000 just for th3 surgery and tha5 was 10 years ago. I often wonder if they don’t want to surgery because of the cost and they might not get the money they want.
