Most of what patients read before a consultation is written to sell an operation. The result is that people arrive either frightened of surgery they need, or convinced of surgery they do not.
These articles are written to be useful before you have chosen a surgeon — including this one. Where the evidence is strong, it is stated plainly. Where it is weak, that is stated too. If an article tells you that waiting is reasonable in your situation, that is not a hedge; it is the recommendation.
New articles are added as the same questions recur in clinic. If there is something you would like written about, send it on WhatsApp — several of these started that way.
