More info: Without knowing more about your problem this is impossible to answer. You may be the best person to answer this question. You know what you are dealing with. Ask yourself is this worth having surgery over. . I tell my patients that you need to be comfortable with 3 things before you have surgery. What is being done, why it is being done, and who is doing it. Maybe another opinion.
