Did anyone have to have the open procedure instead of the laproscopic? If so, what was the reason for the open procedure.

I had a 1 cut procedure, but had to sign a release that if they needed to open me up they could. I believe it has to do with liver and ease in which the cameras and instruments can move around in there. As much pre-testing as we go through, I guess they don't know what is really going on in there until they get inside.
