If I do need surgery, what can I expect?

Prior to making any decision regarding surgery, your NOSS physician will work closely with you to be sure that all of your questions and concerns have been addressed to your full satisfaction. Your doctor will discuss details of any surgical procedure indicated for your condition, including any risks or consequences. Together, you will also consider alternative treatment options.

Once a decision is made to move forward with surgical intervention, your doctor will discuss with you, again, the details of the procedure, including its indications and risks. You will be asked to sign and submit a patient consent form, confirming that you have a complete understanding of all risks and benefits associated with your procedure.

The surgeons at NOSS are trained to perform many different operative procedures, including a wide variety of minimally invasive procedures that effectively treat conditions while minimizing trauma and recovery times.

For more specific details about your specific intervention, talk to your NOSS physician.
