Good find, though I really can't imagine going to India to do this surgery... esp. with the doctor in the video :-X

That doctor looks a little brutish. He did not know where to perform the osteotomy before starting the surgery. Also see how he pushes off his assistant's hand when he tries to mark something on the patient's leg. Nuvasive sent a doctor from their side and she had to read the manual before the surgery?

Pretty much every single news outlet covers Sarin when talking about leg lengthening in India. Really it's because Sarin advertises more than anyone, but he's really someone you shouldn't risk your legs with. Dr Paley would reaffirm this, as well as a lot of former Sarin patients.

Paley knows about Sarin?

He has had to correct some of the issues caused by Sarin.

Lol in the documentary he seems quite proud of how he's handling everything.

All this looks poor on Nuvasive. They should not let anyone and everyone use their nails.

Any doctor who advertizes this surgery will face backslash from the orthopedic or medical community in general maybe that's why Parihar doesn't advertise and seems like Sarin doesn't care.

Parihar doesn't really have an interest in cosmetic practice. He has an interest in doing and teaching more complex stuff.

Didn't expect this documentary to be so good. Really really well put documentary. I have an attention span of a goldfish but even this documentary was entertaining enough to keep me watching.

Yeah Dr. Sarin calling nuvasive mid-surgery was comical.  ;D Ran out of time for the anaesthesia and could only do a single leg lmao. A surgeon winging it and being this unprepared only happens in movies you would think. Literally like a video from The Onion

Also Dr. Sarin's daughter has good insights and advice. Same with the non-LL surgeon they talked to, he was quite reasonable and didn't dismiss the surgery completely. I like when he saying "I understand 5'0 man wanting to go to 5'2, 5'3, etc". Unlike some american news shows that have a random orthopedic surgeon saying "I would never do this for cosmetic, this is wrong, this is bad", etc.

And first time I saw the Sarin guesthouse lmao. Looks comfy I guess?  ;D

I still have no idea why that dude went to Sarin to do stryde/precice when he had never done it before. He's not the smartest guy either, he had horrible ballerina and still proceeded to lengthen femurs?? crazy. Sarin really operates on anybody, it's hilarious he said he "operates on 1/100 patients". Sarin probably did Achilles lengthening on him too.

Great documentary

Same, it's very difficult to justify anything outside of the US, especially when you're not using Stryde.

The documentary seems like it's really well made though.

He measures the patients legs before the surgery using a measuring tape  ::)

The best part is that is proud about all this. He probably shows off this documentary as an achievement of his to his friends and family.

This documentary is really making its way around lately. I was at a friend's place and her daughter was watching it on YouTube.

what are the odds.

Anyway this documentary is quite crappy:

- They chose a bad surgeon
- They did not show how people turn out after recovering. Everyone does this to enjoy life after recovery, and not to simply experience the process lol. They conveniently avoided showing how that foreign patient was doing after his tibial lengthening (whether good or bad). I think they have an agenda to gain the maximum eyeballs. Show how gruesome it looks so that people in the comments section can write about how it's not worth it, makes them sick to the stomach yada yada yada.
