Thanks for the note, I will do the searches. I am in South Africa. My
dr is an endo specialist. He has done lap scopes. The problem is the
adeno that he can't reach through the lap scope. He does ops with very
small incision, but can't reach where it is at the moment.
If anyone can refer other good dr in SA, that would be great.
Thanks for all the help, will do some research further.
