I have been wondering about the same thing. All I know of at this time is to ask the doctor.

I wondered the same thing as well before my surgery. I just asked my surgeon. he luckily had no deaths, but i think by law they have to tell you that information if you ask, i may be wrong, but i think they do. goodluck!

Having any surgery is putting your life in a doctor's hands. You certainly have the right to ask (and expect an answer without prejudice) how many of the type of surgery you are having that he has done, and also if he has had any deaths. Hugs, Joy

My doctor has seminars twice a month and when I attended my first one, the question was asked - point blank. I could tell by his answer that the situation saddened him but he was very upfront with the 1 death that had occurred while being his patient. Sad, sad deal but I do believe, without a shadow of a doubt, if you ask - you'll receive the answer.
