Interventions
All participants will receive the same dose of IVIG at the same intervals in an open-label fashion as long as the subject does not have any increased risk for toxicity for any IVIG infusion. IVIG will be initiated on day 3 (up to day 5) after HPE surgery (HPE is day 0) at a dose of 1 gm/kg body weight by slow intravenous infusion over at least 4 hours. The same dose (1 gm/kg) and duration of infusion will be repeated on day 30 and day 60 after HPE.
