Thank you very much for your responses. I researched the NeuroSafe technique and it is definitely not available in my area, so this is certainly not what this Doctor is using.

Again, from all my research, I have not read of this practice as something performed regularly, specifically during a RALP procedure, which makes me a bit doubtful. More so, because the Doctor is not quoting any additional cost to the procedure, which I would imagine that this would have to generate an additional cost due to more time required and the pathology lab involvement.

@jeffmarc , do you know if your pathologist friend does this specifically on RALP procedures or would it maybe be for other type of cancer surgeries?

Thank you.
