To find a surgeon experienced with Post-Polio Syndrome, start by contacting major academic medical centers and searching for hospitals with dedicated Polio or Neuromuscular Clinics. National polio support organizations (like Post-Polio Health International) often maintain directories of knowledgeable specialists. During a consultation, it's crucial to ask direct questions to gauge their expertise. Essential questions include: "What is your specific experience operating on polio survivors?" "How do you tailor your surgical plan and anesthesia for our unique risks, like respiratory issues or fragile bones?" and "What does your post-operative rehabilitation protocol look like for a PPS patient, and how do you manage pain and fatigue?" A qualified surgeon will have clear, confident answers based on experience.
