Dean,

What do you mean that they won't do it laproscopically? Because of bleeding. Bleeding is traditionally worse with open choleys verse lapcholes. I have assisted with enough of both to see. The only time that bleeding is bad with laps (microscopic) is if they hit a artery or vein going in with the ports.

Are they worried the the cystic artery (gallbladders artery) is going to be varicosed and unable to be isolated? I know that this is a small area, but a surgeon that has done many of the lap choes. Laproscopic Choles are now the standard of care. Get a second opinion.

Unfortunately, I haven't rotated out your way so I can't help you with phone numbers. I would have GI doctor suggest a surgeon.

Oh, I will see you all this fall. I will be moving back to Phoenix to finish my forth year the end of August. I will be doing some out rotations to "try out" different residencies programs. I pretty sure at this point that I want to be an ER doc.

Take care of yourself Dean.
Give me a call if you want to talk. My cell is still 602-677-5853. I am OB/GYN right now so I am on call every other day so I may not answer if I am in the hospital. OH, daylight savings sucks.
