Hey LS,
In case you've not see the topics relating to Ritter-Lang and Stenum, pls see this forum, the 2nd and 4th topic:
https://www.adrsupport.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=51
Stenum's reputation early on in the 90s was to do ADRs as quickly as possible. And they bragged about it. Really bizarre thing to brag about; given it led to SO MANY complications, many of which were severe. They created the largest number of complications for the Charite than any other clinic. And yes, Ritter-Lang was front and center.
From there, they forged relationships in the U.S. (et al) with "patient advocates" who sold their services. These pinheads were unscrupulous and devious, as these topics documented.
There are so many other good surgeons, stay away from these crazies. And in the U.S., some surgeons have been doing ADR for 17 years now.
Hope this helps.
