A member asked:
Afraid of upcoming minor surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited: Someone once defined minor surgery as surgery that someone else has. Surgery, even limited surgery, is extremely important and, of course, is of concern to you. If you have made choice of surgeon based on competence, your procedure should be as easy and as comfortable as possible. Please ask the Surgeon to set aside time to review the procedure with you and to discuss your concerns.
