Each member of that team has an obligation to make your recovery from major surgery, if and when an operation proves to be necessary, as safe as possible. The first responsibility is yours and the other members of your surgical team will do their part. That is what this book is all about. In addition, safe and effective new alternatives to major surgery are discussed, as are modern technological approaches, both for diagnoses and for treatment.
