Surgical risks, outcomes, complications, success percentages, are all topics to be covered by your potential surgeon. Percent of adverse outcomes varies from surgeon to surgeon, hospital to hospital. Your co-morbidities and current medications, cigarette smoking, can all effect results and negative outcomes.
