If you decide surgery is your best option, ask your surgeon:

Is there a minimally invasive approach to this type of surgery?
What are the risks and benefits associated with this choice?
How many times have you performed this procedure?
How long will I be hospitalized and approximately how long will it take for me to recover?
How can I prepare before and after the surgery?
Where can I learn more about the surgery?
