Deciding About Surgery
When your doctor recommends surgery, you should take an active role in deciding whether to go through with it. Your values and beliefs are often a key part of choosing surgery versus exploring other types of treatment as a road to better health. Surgery can be risky and difficult, but sometimes it’s clearly the only way to go. Other times, alternatives to surgery are the wisest choice.
