Hey friends!

Help! Every article I have read really draws a connection between the level of experience a colorectal surgeon has with these J-pouch surgeries to the quality of results people experience... And yet this doesn't seem to be readily available information!

Do you guys know any way to find out how many of these surgeries a surgeon has done (without 'interviewing' tons of surgeons)? Or are there trustworthy sites that help locate "top" surgeons for a certain kind of surgery?

Sorry if it's a dumb question! I just feel like I'm getting nowhere, and have to make a blind decision (since I need to have surgery in either Atlanta or Seattle, but don't live close to either place.. so interviewing a surgeon in those places isn't a real option).

Thanks for any direction or help you can give!
