Answers:
Generally the surgeons tend to use portals from other procedures if possible.. If you are a female this is definitely more likely as it reduced the scarring.. As for the procedure itself that will depend on if there are any conplications.. Generally if there are no complications you should be ready for rehab in a day or two.. The pain levels are not going to be that much from the first as long as there is no bony work being done.. You should be up and walking around a little sore but up and around..Health Question & Answer
