What should you do? 

​

Every surgical procedure has its own risks and benefits. Our advice would be to speak to your surgeon and discuss the risk and benefits of surgery along with alternatives that may be available and the consequences of doing nothing.  

​

By optimising your medical conditions and keeping fit by exercising, stopping smoking, eating healthily and reducing your alcohol consumption you can reduce your chances of peri-operative complications.

Dr Claire Dunstan is here for personal consultations to ensure that you are ready for your operation, by explaining risks and giving advice on ways to reduce risks.
