    Continued proliferation of Millikan tension-free plug and patch repair?

    Thanks for the info, and the link to your clinic (as Indy certainly is in the neighborhood!). Has it gone out of favor because it turned out to perform poorly long term, or because other methods proved better?

    The purported short duration of the operation, use of local anesthesia/IV sedation and quick recovery time sounded attractive but then again, so did the Theranos blood diagnostic technology…

    Above all else, I obviously want to see a surgeon who follows the latest developments, knows which methods have stood the test of time and what approaches (including watch/wait) are best supported by today’s evidence. Thanks again, Dr. Szotek.
