I just recently had the decompression surgery, 11/10/2008, but I would do it ALL over again if I had to. I found this web site after a friend of mine recommended it. It's called the Chip's Chiari Page. Now he HAS NOT had to have the surgery over again that I know of, but it did help to find other answers to my questions. I also had a top notch surgeon in my area do my surgery. He is the chief of surgery at my hospital. Have you tried the Chiari Malformation Institute? You can find them by typing in Chiari Malformation Institute in your search engine. I KNOW that you can probably find your answers there. They talk about all of the surgeries that they have to redo due to botched first time decompression surgeries. This may help. Good luck to you and if you need any more help or have questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
