Dr. Karleigh Curfman, MD, Gabrielle Blair, Sunshine Pille PA-C, Callan Kosnik PA-C, have no conflicts of interest or financial relationships to disclose. We would like to report that this study has only been submitted for review for publication in <i>Surgical Endoscopy.</i> An abstract of this paper has been accepted for presentation at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress in October 2022.
: Given the nature of the retrospective patient survey, this study was found to be exempt from approval by our Institutional Review Board.
: Due to the retrospective nature of the survey after surgery was completed and no new patient medical information recorded, the consent process for participation was waived by our Institutional Review Board. No patient specific information is included in the study. Only authors involved in the study were able to access patient data to produce information pertinent to this study and then patient specific information was immediately deleted and none was saved.
