I think Dr. Elkwood and possibly Dr. Lakhiani can from what I have heard, although they may tailor their approach to where they believe the entrapment is. If you do call them, please let us know if that is correct.
They are in New Jersey.

Hi Violet,
Their office told me Dr Elkwood is no longer doing surgeries and that none of the other surgeons do laparoscopic surgery. I have a consult with Dr Lakhiani"s Nurse Practitioner at thr end of this month, after which I should have more information.
I've been doing a tremendous amount of research on surgeons and plan to share all of my findings here once I am finished, in hopes it may help others find help.

Oh, no! That's unfortunate that we are losing surgeons. If you hear of anyone new, we would very much appreciate hearing about it! Hope you can find one who can help you.

It seems like we keep losing surgeons. Wasn't there a guy in Houston, Dr Ansell, that stopped doing surgeries?

He did stop doing them because the success rate was so poor and then Ansell retired. He was the most arrogant doctor I’ve ever been to.

From what I understand, Dr Ansell stopped doing PN surgery many years ago.
