fastcarbon,

Thanks a lot for your post and mentioning laporoscopic ablation!

Not doubting what you said, but how definitively can they tie the back pain to the cyst?

How recently did you have this done? Was it done using robotics? After it was done, was your back pain gone?

Thanks again. It's really encouraging.

Jim
