Reply to "Need Guidance on How to Choose a Surgeon"

“she told me creating the j-pouch is not a difficult surgery”

Wow!

This is so untrue. In Europe they give institutions permissions to perform this surgery only if they meet a certain number of surgeries per year.

Dr Remzi at NYU makes 7 pouches a week, half of which are repairs of failed j-pouches, and he says that this is such a complex surgery that only surgeons that perform very large numbers of this surgery per year should do it.

This level of confidence is usually comes from ignorance. Do not trust this Dr.
