Ariel,
I have not heard of this technique. I would ask your surgeon the following
questions.
1. What is the technique called?
2. How many of these surgeries has he done,(over what time period) and
what is the age of the oldest child who has had it done?
3. Can he refer you to a peer reviewed journal article where you can read
about it?
4. he has told you the positives with this technique (avoiding sensory
damage), can he tell you the risks and draw backs.
Barbara
