General Risks with Surgery
All surgeries have some risk, and we want you to understand these risks so that you can be informed and can consent to surgery with an understanding of these risks. Although complications do occur, fortunately they are quite infrequent. We will use our expertise to try and prevent any complication. If any problems do arise, we will monitor you closely and be here to do whatever we can to help you work through any complications and hopefully recover from them.
