Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 hi dawn, i think that in that case it is called lap assisted. i believe that is what i am going to have with dr. booth. they make the small holes for the scopes in the upper abdomen, and they also make a bit larger incision down by the navel to stick a hand in to help out. don't quote me on it, but that is just my understanding. if i am wrong, i welcome anyone who knows the right answer to please clarify for me and dawn. :^] mary y st. louis itchin to be switchin > I heard from someone that Rabkin's lab surgery does still give you a 4 inch > incision. Is this still true? I was told they still get their hand in there > to assist with some things? Just wondering? > > > Dawn > Dr. Hess > BPD/DS > 4/27/00 > 267 to 165 > size 22 to size 10 > no more high blood pressure sore feet or dieting!! > www.dudoenalswitch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
