Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 I've had a series of sphincterotomies, each one cutting more than the others. That's because they kept on healing over. The final one was done by Dr. Siegel who really maxed it out, something that he's very well known for. SOD is certainly no longer a problem for me. -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 Often, endoscopists are rather conservative when they cut the sphincter. In my case, that's why it kept on sealing. Dr. Siegel, on the other hand, makes a large slit thus " maxing out " the SO. -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
