Wherever you may look, be sure to find out how many related surgeries they have done. A minimum of 250 would be my cutoff. You want experience, not a stepping stone on some resident's learning curve. Given existing pressures to lower healthcare costs, many such procedures are pushed down to the lowest/cheapest level of care provider, which often excludes those who are best at it. Don't compromise on experience.
Good luck.
