I had this surgery 3/30/12 at Univ. of Florida Shands. Was lucky to find a wonderful surgeon who has done many of these and happy to have the much less invasive procedure. I was released after 4 days with zero pain or complications and tests say I am clear. So happy to not have chosen the chest type procedure.
