Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 With only 1 report on only 40 cases, I would be hard to make an argument otherwise. This Report covers the first 40 fully lap patients of Dr. Gagner (and Drs. Ren and , his fellows) who had surgery in 1999 and the beginning of 2000. There have been alot more fully lap DS surgeries done since the time frame of this report. Dr. Gagner did the first fully lap DS about two years ago. I just didn't want folks to get the impression that this was brand new. Jane J. Lap BPD/DS April 26, 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
