Are they doing LL at Paley institute?
« on: March 09, 2020, 06:00:01 PM »

With covid-19 scare, are they still doing surgeries at Paley institute? Have the number of patients come down significantly?

That makes me also wonder, how many cases of CLL do they do in a normal week? I never asked them this question. I just asked them how many they have done overall.

When I was there in late 2019 I'd guess they would have anywhere from 10 to 20 active cosmetic LL patients going through distraction at any given point in time (distraction period is generally 2 to 3 months.)

A significant portion of those patients were from China, so I'd imagine the # of patients from China has slowed down but I can't say for sure.

They are, and not (yet) to my knowledge.

That makes me also wonder, how many cases of CLL do they do in a normal week? I never asked them this question. I just asked them how many they have done overall.

I heard they did over 50 a year, which would average one a week.
