Hi,



I am interested to hear who told you they pulled this proceedure.  I went to the FDA website and it says nothing of this for the last year.  Did you find this on the web somewhere?  Are you in the US?  This is am extremly important surgical test and I can't imagine it being "pulled" from use.

Doc. so that he can have time to find out what my options are. I have also looked on the FDA sites and have seen nothing mentioned about this.  My mom really wants me to find out about Docs. at the Mayo Clinic because she has heard they have a top notch program.  I can't imagine what is going on with the FDA and why all of the Docs are so spooked about this proceedure.  I will try to find out more info.

borlandgroover.com is currently under construction!  Do you have any other suggestions for finding more information???  Who performed your ERCP?  Did they place a stint in the valve or laserLaser surgery

If you live in LA you really might be interested in Borland groover. They are in Jacksonville Florida - email me and I will give you their number to call. The ERCP with menometry is the only procedure my Dr performs.   ***@****

Dr. Peter Cotton, Chief of Gastroenterology at the Medical Center of South Carolina (MUSC), performs ERCP's, and so does Dr. Lehman at Indiana Medical University.  I believe Dr. Lehman is the innovator of this procedure.  Both are very highly spoken of in the medical profession.The website for MUSC is:

Go to this site and search for further information.



I can furnish Dr. Lehman's address and telephone # if you are interested.
