  • Anesthesia Risks: All surgeries require anesthesia, which can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or allergic reactions.
  • Infection: There's always a risk of infection at the surgical site.
  • Bleeding: Some surgeries may lead to excessive bleeding.
  • Scarring: Surgery often results in scars, which can vary in size and visibility.
  • Organ Damage: There's a possibility of damage to surrounding organs during surgery.
