Firstly, your doctor is responsible for your surgical procedure and he or she must monitor and follow you up until a satisfactory result is obtained from your operation or until you are discharged. The trust you place in your doctor is vital to enable you to complete your treatment satisfactorily, this is why making a good choice of clinic and doctor on your first visit is so important.
If the patient-doctor relationship breaks down for any reason, you can get a second opinion from another specialist, who must assess your case personally and offer you a reasonable solution. Every day we see more and more cases in our consulting rooms of patients who are unhappy with their initial operation and who are seeking a solution to their problem. This is why repeat surgery or re-operation is on the rise in this country.
