I'll ask one of our local Support Group coordinators to invite Dr. Brumund to discuss TORS, but I understand it might be difficult to get him right away.

He also teaches OC lip reconstruction at other campuses and seems to spend considerable time at UCSF.

His lip work is quite amazing, but I think he would tell you everything he does is (reminds me in a way of you smile ).

I've seen UC slide presentations of laser oral tongue surgery and it reminded me of Dr. Brook's experience. I think they are supposed to practice on cadavers, not fellow docs.
