Elaine,
Did you check out Dr. Nuzzo in Summit, New Jersey. My 8 y.o. son had
hamstring lengthenings there in June with a laser. No scars and the hospital
is very into pediatrics, the parent is allowed into operating room till child
is asleep and is called as soon as child wakes up in recovery room. The
procedure probably took 15-20 minutes and he woke up about 15-20 minutes
later. The traditional route leaves 3-4 inch scars, possibly longer if a
transfer is involved. Cindy
