Where is Dr. Di ?

From what I am reading, Dr. Di and Dr. Jho are doing the less invasive endoscopic surgery. Has there been any discussion on whether this is as good as the more invasive surgery? And.....I have read that Dr. Di is no longer in Cleveland. Where is he practicing now? Thanks.

Hi...from what I understand not all drs will do this method...some bcuz they feel there is a larger change of mistakes being missed in a smaller space...such as more CSF leaks due to overlooking a stitch....

And, I also heard that this less invasive procedure is not always possible....it all depends on the individual and what is going on inside.....so some drs will elect the one that is best for the patient....and many times will not know until they go in....I had this happen with a knee surgery, I was told the dr wanted to do orthroscopic, but until he was in would not know if he would be able to proceed with it....

And no news as  to where Dr Di has landed as  of yet.....as soon as neone hears I am sure they will post here....I believe the announcement is due mid Jan.
