THERE IS NO SURGICAL PROCEDURE THAT HAS EVER BEEN INVENTED THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE A PATIENT WORSE

Surgery has the potential to improve the lives of many patients. However, there are inherent risks that are involved with ANY surgical procedure.  For patient contemplating surgery, it is important to discuss with your physician what outcome you can reasonably expect as a result of your surgery.  It is also essential to understand the risks and potential surgical complications associated with your particular procedure.
