As you can see from the comments, the surgery works for some and not for others. Don't assume that this was only created by doctors, though. The series was created by patients as well, including those who've had it done.
You are right that it's a serious surgery and patients need to consider all possibilities carefully, something that doctors could be better at helping with.
Curious where you had yours done. Best of luck either way.
