Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Mentioning the University of Pittsburgh I would like to say the Dr that did my last colon resect in Aug was terrific. Unfortune for me he has left the University of Rochester and gone to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. If I have to ever have surgery again I will be traveling there. Anyone in that area his name is Dr. Ahrendt. He is a specialist in colon cancer surgery. It was a difficult 9 hr surgery because of all the scar tissue he had to get through and take out. I can't believe how fast I was able to get over the surgery.
