I wrote the following letter and sent it to several surgeons who specialise in SRS. I’m not holding my breath. I don’t actually expect to receive any positive responses, if any response at all.

So maybe I’ll get 2 or 3 responses, who knows? But if one doesn’t at least try, the answer is bound to be negative.
