Risks
All surgery carries risk, and you should be fully aware of the medical
risks associated with this procedure before you consent to surgery.
Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you during your consultation,
and you are encouraged to ask questions if there is anything you
do not understand.
You
will be required to sign a consent form before surgery stating that
you have been informed of the risks involved; that you understand
those risks; and that you accept those risks. This is standard hospital
protocol and surgery will not be performed if you do not sign.
