Thanks for the question. It's not exactly clear which particular procedure you are talking about. Whatever the case, you can read about them all here.
As you can tell, there are different procedures for different patients so you can'tmake blanket statements about the effectiveness of each of them. However, you should ask your doctor which may be the most effective for you. I hope this helps.
