Hello,
My Dr did a total splenectomy and a kocherization of the duodenum.
I am having trouble with the kocherization of the duodenum.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

I am not familiar with that procedure. It seems from what I am reading it is still just a 38100.

Anyone else see anything different?
