retrosigmoid surgery

(1/2) > >>

bethtretrault:
I am trying to get an idea of how long the surgery might be. For those who had retrosigmoid approach for a small tumor can you tell me how long your surgery lasted? For some reason I just really feel like I want to know...

emily vandalen:
I had restrosigmoid at Johns Hopkins in early April for a 2 cm. neuroma.  The surgery took 8 hours and I left the hospital on the 5th day after surgery.

New girl:
Mine was 9.5 hours.

bethtretrault:
Thank-you for your replies. How are you all doing? My surgery is scheduled for November.

Steve2014:
I was also looking for that answer, seems like 6 to 10 hours is pretty common on these boards. I had one doc tell me 2 to 2.5 hours was all he needed, that scared me. My surgery is scheduled at USC in a few weeks, i think i was told typically to figure 5 hours. I don't want anyone rushing! Here are you having surgery?
