Quality of life has to be taken into account. I had to have a long interview with the consultant surgeon before being allowed the op and was told exactly what he would do, what he hoped would happen and also what might happen. It was back in the 80's and this op was very new at the time. Nowadays it is more common with much better surgical equipment. I wouldn't hesitate to have it done again. I got my life back, in a few hours.</p></blockquote><p></p>
