Patient's Comments

SP cohort comments	Xi cohort comments
Skin incisions are not even noticeable so very happy	I was amazed this surgery didn’t slow me down at all, I mean less incisions would've been better
Very happy with scars, hardly can see them	The six incisions really hurt
Couldn’t be better, only had two incisions, no pain after surgery, no pain when I went home	I don’t even know how many incisions I even had
I wish I had fewer incisions and it is an improvement on the old way	I don’t think the number of incisions really matters
