The surgeon will be required to perform these surgeries up to 2 days per week. After every 5 surgeries, there will be a review of the data. The need for a surgeon is expected for up to 6 months.

Follow-ups will be handled by nurses and primary care doctors, while the surgeon will manage discharge paperwork 3-5 days after surgery. This is the second trial of this medication.
