Abstract
In this note we show that -contact surgery on distinct Legendrian knots frequently produces contactomorphic manifolds. We also give examples where this happens for -contact surgery. As an amusing corollary we find overtwisted contact structures that contain a large number of distinct Legendrian knots with the same classical invariants and tight complements.
