This may be too late for you to use, but thought I'd answer since I just saw this:
1. b
2. c
3. There is so much information it is hard to decipher which studies to follow as a "patient." Makes this whole process of deciding what is the best surgery seem more difficult to me. Then again, I feel like I should go read some of the individual studies. Interesting.
4. I like that my doctor is one of the presenters! At least maybe that decision I can rest easy on.
