418466 tn?1207114132 Do NOT attempt to remove this drain by yourself. I can understand another vet wanting the surgical report, but it shouldn't stop them from treating your dog. That doesn't sound right to me at all. If you're having problems finding a competent vet, you could try starting with your local SPCA or Humane Society. Explain the situation to them and I'm sure they'll come up with a vet who will happily get this thing safely out of your dog's ear.
Avatar f tn The orthopedic surgeon has said that he thinks he can save my ACL ligament via an operation without the use of a graft. He said by doing this type of operation it will be much better in terms of healing ect. I have to do this operation within 8 weeks of the injury occurring or he said it isn't possible and I would have to have a different operation. I have been trying to research this style of operation but I can only find the option where it talks about using a graft from other body parts.
138239 tn?1239924924 I can tell you that after alot of research and many nights on the computer I found out that during the operation they use surgical clips. I believe the problem stems from these clips. They say they are not harmful but after my first surgery the pain was terrible so I went for a cat scan and there was a surgical clip in my pelvis. I believe the doctor went in - took it out and acted as though nothing was wrong with me and he found nothing wrong with me. Now to my understanding they use 4 clips.
Avatar m tn I will be having a operation in a few weeks time to have a hysteroctomy because i have cysts that are regrowing after removel on my ovaries. I am just having a few worries about the side effects and things to expect after the operation itself. Please it would be great to hear if anyone has actually had this and what kind of experiences that had from it.
Avatar n tn I am 46 and diabetic. I am soon (March 6) to be circumcised because of Phimossis and beginning BXO. My Dr. will just tell me i am to have a "Circ". When i ask questions about the operation he seems to get offended and want tell me specifics about the operation. He will not tell the about the placement of the scar or the method he will use. This is at a teaching hospital (UVA medical center in Charlottesville VA) that is very respcetable.
Avatar m tn Every surgical operation has its risks depending on your age or if you have other comorbid conditions (hypertension, diabetes, stroke, etc). Complications include difficulty of breathing, heart problems, kidney problems during or after the operation, though these can be minimized with proper pre-operation evaluation (usually by an internist, or cardiologist).

4656347 tn?1357634219 On 21 Nov 2012 he again undergone major operation to remove the tumour and I was told 70% of the tumour being removed mainly the liquid part. After the major operation my son suffer back the symptom before his first operation, that he was very sleepy and confused, high sodium and low potassium. My son then pass away on 20 Dec 2012. Seems that the first operation is good. Doctors did the best of their effort but please consider my opinion.
1060769 tn?1254977492 Postponing the operation as long as reasonably possible is a good thing. You avoid unnecessary surgical risks by doing that. A few people actually die during heart surgery. It's not like having your tonsils out. It's a lot more major than that. It's not something to jump into, just to "get it over with." Also, if you can postpone your operation, you may be able to take advantage of advanced surgical technology later on.
Avatar n tn If the percentage is less than 29%, a surgical operation is at a high risk and a surgeon may not recommend an operation as the risk may exceed the benefit. Or the estimated dimensions of the heart may be insignificant, and your mom is relatively good health and the risk is minimal.

Avatar f tn I just joined this group and hope to find some ASICS as I’m looking at surgical options for my difficult situation. I’m 52 with diagnosed (MRI 8/22) severe lumbar spinal stenosis at all 5 levels with significant central herniations. My symptoms have been on and off for 10 years now. In the past epidural injections, acupuncture and some lifestyle changes have managed my condition until 6 months ago where I’ve been dealing with various symptoms associated with different lumbar levels.
Avatar f tn Therefore, surgical intervention is essential to remove the large cyst and if permanent damage needs to be avoided. Craniotomy, needle aspiration and cerebral shunts are common surgical treatment that may help. But, surgical modalities may have some complications depending upon size of cyst. Before opting for surgical procedures, you should evaluate both the pros and cons with the help of a neurosurgeon. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Bow legs or genu varum can be corrected in adults by surgical remodeling. The exact type of surgical technique would depend on the severity and the exact location of the defect. Temporarily orthotic devices may be used to provide symptomatic relief, though a permanent cure may require a surgery in adults. It would be best to consult an orthopedician for a detailed review and appropriate management.
Avatar m tn Ed won't answer so I'll answer for him. Yes, he has the proper background and training to answer this question. He has been a great resource for many here. If you don't care to contribute, please don't use these threads to disrupt the forum.
Avatar f tn It was then removed surgically He has not yet been told whether he is to have further chemo sessions. The consultants say they will know in about 2 weeks from operation date. Is this a 'bad sign'; would they not know the extent of the cancer from initial tests that were done, or at least from the time of the operation itself? We are very concerned for him and would be grate for your opinion.
Avatar f tn t ruptured! Since you have pain where the stitches are, and you have proof they did not use dissolvable stitches, AND no one will touch the situation, you can most certainly take this up with the people who did the operation, that doc could remove the stitches probably as an outpatient in his office, depending on what else might be going on in that spot.
Avatar m tn If the baby has a large VSD AND an abnormality of the aortic arch (called a coarctation), then the doctor you spoke with is correct. Surgery will likely be necessary to deal with both. The aortic arch narrowing can be significant early after birth and require intervention. If the VSD remains large during the first 3-6 months of life, then surgery is usually recommended as well.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your reply.I haven't seen the cardiac surgeon yet and will obviously take on the best advice.I must admit that my anxiety levels are rather high at the moment.I'll keep following the info on this site.Thanks again.Baz.
2115889 tn?1338882792 Surgical removal of all or a portion of the coccyx (coccygectomy) is an option if you have tried all other methods of pain relief. An article to check out is "Surgical removal of coccyx (coccygectomy)". This is an excerpt.. "This operation used to have a bad reputation among some doctors, and some will still advise you that it should never be done.
Avatar f tn Most patients do not require surgical intervention for their symptoms. A vitrectomy is a serious operation with risks as well as benefits. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S.
