If you or someone you know is considering surgery, read this article.

This doc is practicing minimal invasive surgery usually w/o a colostomy bag. He is removing only scar tissue rather than entire colons.

Here is Dr. Medich's office number in Pittsburgh and other PA locations.

http://www.revolutionhealth.com/care-providers/doctors/details/david-medich-pittsburgh-pa-pennsylvania/719242

The article says that 15 more centers are testing as well.

This link MAY be the clinical trial.... I am not certain as there is no actual name given.

Here is some additional info regarding Dr. Medich:

Dr. Medich's Email: mailto:dmedich@wpahs.org

I have sent him an email asking where this procedure is being done, if he responds I will forward to the group.
