It’s important to understand the following information:

  • details related to the procedure,
  • potential benefits and risks of the surgery,
  • permanence of the surgery and how it affects fertility,
  • possible need for revisions,
  • timeline for healing, and
  • what to expect for aftercare in the months after surgery.

Your assessor and your surgical team will help you understand these details. You should ask them any questions you have. To learn more about the procedure, see Rainbow Health Ontario’s resources
