Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Beth, I am still thinking about it. Your points are right, however this new group, which suggested office hyst are three doctors from Harvard, Duke and Cornell. I have also heard very good news about their hyst procedures (not anything about SU though). They say they treat more than half of their SU patients with office hyst. However, this is based on the condition that there isn't that much blood flow around septum or any other problem. If they look and can't do it, they'll schedule and hyst/lap. So I assume if it is more of a muscular SU (which might cause hemorrhage) probably they won't do it in office. I am cofused!!!!! Somewhere in my heart, I want to choose office hyst but I am still thinking and reading! I'll call them and ask more questions! Thanks a lot.
