What if you need an operation?

Should surgical treatment be required, we will ensure that you have plenty of time to discuss with your consultant any concerns that you may have and any questions that you wish to ask. He will explain your treatment to you and ensure that you are fully aware of any implications, benefits and potential risks of surgery, that you understand what is involved in the treatment recommended, and that you have a clear grasp of what it is designed to achieve for you.
