- What will happen to me if I don’t address this condition?
- How long will the procedure take?
- What are the potential complications and side effects I may experience?
- What happens if you encounter a different issue than you expected during the surgery?
- Will I need another procedure in the future, or will this cure my problem permanently?
What to Expect after the Procedure
- How much pain will I be in after the surgery, and how long will it last?
- How long will I have to be in the hospital?
- Will I need any kind of special accommodations once I return home?
