The surgery-contactomorphism conjecture for Legendrian knots in the standard 3-sphere

Let LL and LL' be Legendrian knots in the standard contact 3-sphere (S3,ξst)(S^3,\xi_{st}). Write L(1)L(-1) and L(+1)L(+1) for the contact manifolds obtained by Legendrian (1)(-1)- and (+1)(+1)-surgery on the knots. Surgery-contactomorphism conjecture. If L(1)L(-1) is contactomorphic to L(1)L'(-1) and L(+1)L(+1) is contactomorphic to L(+1)L'(+1), then LL is Legendrian isotopic to LL' in (S3,ξst)(S^3,\xi_{st}).
