Discuss the whole process before deciding<\/h2>\n

Some procedures take a small tissue sample to clarify a diagnosis; others aim to treat a particular symptom or lesion. The extent of the procedure, the setting and any anaesthetic requirements depend on an individual assessment.<\/p>\n

The potential benefits, possible risks, alternatives and the option of not proceeding should all be discussed. Recovery, returning to daily activities and follow-up are not the same for everyone. Please ask for the explanations you need before making a decision.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n
