Thank you for reaching out! With any procedure performed, there is always a risk. So many factors play into patient outcomes like age, health, and lifestyle, which can always have an effect. Which option the surgeon would recommend would have to be determined after an evaluation where they can diagnose the problem and see how severe the symptoms are. We would suggest they schedule a consultation either in person or via telemed to properly be assessed.
