Authors' recommendations:
• This is a promising procedure, apparently equivalent to existing surgical procedures in safety and efficacy.
• As a result of the ability to carry it out in the outpatient department it would be cost saving.
• Its use consists of case series, all deriving from one centre. Until it is more widely accepted it should be looked on
as an innovative but not yet accepted procedure.
