@tri327dent It’s not by any means a simple surgery. It is also considered a rare surgery, which means many physicians are not even aware of it or have ever seen it in a patient. Specifically I advise patients to seek out a clinic, hospital, or cancer center that has had training and experience in performing this operation. The tricky part is the micro surgery to connect the blood supply as well as sparing as much in the nerve tissues as possible. Initially in the operating room I had counted I believe it was nineteen people including doctors, surgeons, nurses, techs, lab personnel, surgeons in training, and even a photographer. So as I said, not a simple surgery.
Make sure you go where the experienced practice and never hesitate to ask about that standard.
