I did ask about that, Boston said they do an open incision one. I will double check with my Pittsburgh doc.
I feel like Mass General is pretty state of the art. Why do you think laparoscopic means a better facility, just curious.

It means the facility has invested in the best equipment, best surgeons, best surgical teams, best operating theater equipment - and, knows this reduces infection, and is the future of this surgery.

Now, given I am not a surgeon or a medical scientist, I can only say this is what I believe based on significant reading.
