Procedures, risks and post-operative instructions

surgery   Your doctor has recommended a procedure for you.  This may be a test,
or a minor or major operation.  Of course this is relative, and to anyone
undergoing an operation, it seems like a major surgery.  One of the best
ways to approach it is with knowledge and understanding.  Awareness
of what to expect, as well as the risks and benefits of surgery, will
help you to enter the procedure with more confidence.  The following
provides a list of tests, procedures and surgeries.  Each name links
to a page which provides additional information.  Use this as a guide.
