Diane is coming to Germany with me. In a few weeks, we'll be at the AlphaKlink with Doctors Hoogland, Zeegers, Baumbach, Blome. It's a big sequester to be addressing endoscopically, but Hoogland has new tecniques that allow him to do more than he used to. I've spent enough time with him in the OR that we are very comfortable with him as one of the top options when considering endoscopic surgery. While I believe that any discectomy type is likely to be successful, I also believe that a quality endoscopic procedure will do less collateral damage and enhance her chances if future surgery is ultimately needed.

Wish us luck!
