Anyone know of a Dr in Oregon that does the Rose procedure?
I believe that the Rose procedure is in research trials on the East Coast. I know of only one procedure that supposedly reduces a patient's pouch, and that is the StomaphX (pronounced "stoma-fix"). I am not aware of any insurer covering this procedure.
The only two Oregon surgeons that I am aware of who are trained in the StomaphX are: Dr. Robert O'Rourke at OHSU and Dr. Emma Patterson at the Legacy OWLS.
