According to the latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 75 million inpatient and outpatient surgeries are performed annually in the United States. Surgical procedures are often necessary to prevent or relieve pain, reduce problematic symptoms, improve body functioning, or search for signs of disease. Although making informed health care decisions about surgical procedures can be frustrating and confusing, research shows that patients who take time to learn about treatments prior to surgery often feel more satisfied with the outcome.
