Are there risks involved with having surgery?

All surgical procedures have risks and your surgeon will discuss these with you prior to surgery. Every effort is made to minimise the risk associated with surgery but complications can occur. We will provide you with appropriate information so you are informed to assess the benefits and risks of surgery.
