Guest guest Posted April 7, 2000 Report Share Posted April 7, 2000 Hi, I just watched the Chiari Segment, or atleast 1 of them, with Dr. Frim. He says there is a 90% Success Rate with Surgery. Does this seem right? Or does it atleast seem right for just his group of Patients with Chiari? I am not going to define the word Success, because that could mean several things. Take Care, Brande mymocha@... _____________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Click here for FREE Internet Access and Email http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Hi all, I believe he said 80%. Love, Maureen Dr. Frim says 90%!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Hi, I don't believe he specified in the Show that I watched. But it was a College Student that he was Operating on......I would have to say she was between 18-20 Years Old.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Brande, Try watching it again. The announcer says " in children and young adults like the 18-year Kaya (?), chiari surgery has a 90% success rate. Most chiari patients go on to live a normal life. " Dr Frim says " we'll have to see over the next few days and weeks, if she does or does not continue to have these fainting spells, whether her headaches begin to dissipate, whether her left arm becomes stronger. I think it is a better than even chance that many if not all, of these symptoms may go away. but it doesn't always work 100%. " ACMTWEETY@... may have some more tapes to sell if you want to check it out again.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Hi All, My question on the 90% success rate that Dr. Frim is seeing on pediatric cases is, how long has he been doing chiari surgery on pediatric and how long is the follow up? What is the criteria for success? I am not criticizing Dr. Frim, I just wonder how doctors in general consider success.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Hi, This might have been said, I just don't remember it. So he does include Adults in this......or atleast a certain group of them. I do remember this being said...........but if I remember right, they did a recap and said she did improve. Right, he did say that everybody may not be back to 100%. Take Care, Brande mymocha@... If it does Air again, I sure will watch it. I have watched that Channel quite a bit since we got it. > > The announcer says " in children and young adults like the 18-year Kaya (?), > chiari surgery has a 90% success rate.
