Steve - I still give pts my standard discussion of options with advantages and disadvantages but I find that I can be more confident with surgery in terms of the anticipated reintervention rates. Pts with an open mind or who’ve had recurrence are more likely to surgery #JHSJC

Recently, I’ve noticed an uptick in patients with recurring disease ultimately deciding to move forward with surgery. #JHSJC

Joe - I would’ve the same thing. But there is an entire population of folks with DD who want nothing to do with surgery. #JHSJC

I agree John. When it come to money OOP NA is almost always preferred. #JHSJC

I’ve observed many patients sort of know what they’d like prior to coming. Fewer and fewer of them come to me with an open mind. #JHSJC

You’re right Neal. However, there has been a push towards a more hardline stance. I don’t think it is available in Germany due to concerns about it’s being better than other options. #JHSJC
