Unnecessary Surgery

When dealing with an operation or surgery it is important to know that "more" does not equal better and "more" certainly does not mean that you are receiving a higher quality of care. The Patient Fact Sheet recommends that patients find out why a test, treatment or surgical procedure is needed and how or if the surgery can help with a condition. The Patient Fact Sheet also recommends that if you have a test or if you undergo an operation don't assume that no news is good news, speak with your health care provider and ask about the results.

If you are having surgery, make sure that you, your doctor, and your surgeon all agree and are clear on exactly what will be done.

Doing surgery at the wrong site (for example, operating on the left knee instead of the right) is rare. But even once is too often. The good news is that wrong-site surgery is 100 percent preventable.

When undergoing a medical procedure always keep these two simple recommendations in mind:

Speak up if you have questions or concerns.
You have a right to question anyone who is involved with your care.
