Let this be a credit to Dr. Rutledge's great skill. So often we talk about the 35 minute surgery. Yet if another surgeon, not as skilled as Dr. R, would do the surgery I am sure it would be way in excess of 2 or 3 hours. Dr. R has improved his skills tremendously over the past 3 years that he was able to reduce the time in surgery to 35 minutes. That is the kind of surgeon I wanted operating on me.... Way to go Dr. Rutledge. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am paranoid enough!!! Which brings me to a question...what causes leaks? Is it because something wasn't stitched right? Or does it tear? Just curious...

His first one took 2-1/2 hours or thereabouts, so yes, it is definitely a testimony to his skill as a surgeon that we now see 35 minutes (and less) surgery times, and blessedly few complications. I know this is the *only* surgery I ever had that I didn't feel groggy from the anesthesia days later, too. YAY! Kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
