Hi,
There are less invasive surgery options out there. I had surgery Nov 11, 2019 to remove the styloid process on both sides using robotics intra- orally. With the robot they have more access and it is more precise. Problem is not a lot of surgeons are trained on the robot. I won't say everything is perfect but I am much better. Based on most peoples recovery I am doing far better and I had a severe case. I don't know where you live both Dr. Trevor Hackman at UNC Chapel Hill is doing the surgery using robotics. He has an excellent reputation. I hope this helps.

Thanks for info Christina!
I have VA ENT appt. next week and hope to be referred to a non-VA ENT who is familiar with ES and surgery.
I'm trying to get referred to Dr. Jeffrey Magnuson near Orlando (I am in Tampa area).
