Dear Neil

I don't know about the Dr that Lisa went to in Frankurt, but, DR Korell in Duisburg does lap surgeries with the gas, and also uses the spray gel. That cost would be about $5,500-$6,000. That would include everything, DR fees, surgery, hospital, the nurses quarter apartments & the flight, off season. I hope this information will be helpful to you. robin M
