Dr. Weingart was recommended to us by the Chiari Institute. He was very friendly and answered our questions, but what we hoped would be a confirmation of our first opinion left us confused and torn. There were two components of the surgery that differed between the surgeons. The first was the type of material that would be used to patch the lining of the brain. A synthetic patch was used by Dr. Weingart, whereas a peice of Lukes own tissue would be used by Dr. Iantosca.
Also, Dr. Wiengart explained the use of titanium bracket to replace the removed section of skull and create more space for the cerebellum. Dr. Iantosca did not replace the skull that would need to be removed to operate.
