If you and Dr. Solman decide that surgery is your best treatment option, he will discuss in detail with you your condition and his proposed surgical procedure, along with that particular procedure's risks, benefits, complications, and expected success rates, and compare them with other surgical alternatives. This will allow you to make an informed decision regarding your treatment, and perform any further research you feel is necessary to assist you in making your final decisions regarding your care.
