The last one I did was on a belly dancer who wanted to avoid an abdominal incision at all costs, even a small one. The general surgeons I know wouldn't want to go anywhere near the vagina, professionally at least. Ronald E.

Pain and recovery is related to the size and number of incisions.

Should be interesting watching the learning curve reports (not a few of which would/will probably be in deposition format)...Anyone else have memories of "the healing light" ads, "health education" seminars conducted by hospitals and docs providing the benefits of laser surgery on 35 gram uteri? Seems like evey community had one local star who had the wrap on the latest greatest technology....Not to say there shouldn't be experimentation, not to say minimally invasive surgery isn't important (I sure think it is, what with having an LAVH sched'd for next Monday). It's always scary though when the media run with the early news and sometimes procedures move on ahead of prime time. _____ Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
