The technique uses endoscopic instruments created by Karl Storz GmbH, a German medical device company. Thomas Lübbers, MD, a surgeon from Germany, worked with Karl Storz to develop the technique. Dr. Witt is one of the few surgeons in the United States performing this minimally invasive outpatient technique.

 

There are plans for Dr. Witt to offer the procedure at the Lone Tree (Colo.) Ambulatory Surgery Center.
