Surgery—Know the Risks
In some cases, surgery may be the only option, but most medical professionals and even surgeons would agree that non-invasive options should be explored before turning to surgery. Although advances in surgery have made many procedure less invasive and more effective, surgery comes with inherent associated risks such as infection, clotting, and scarring. Combined with high costs and lengthy recovery time, it only makes sense to consider all of your options before deciding to have surgery.
