A senior surgeon suggests that many commonly performed operations
are not necessary and that any benefits they offer are a placebo.
For many complaints and conditions the benefits from surgery are
lower, and the risks higher, than you or your surgeon think. In
this book you will see how commonly performed operations can be
found to be useless or even harmful when properly evaluated. Of
course no surgeon is recommending invasive surgery in bad faith,
but Ian Harris argues that the evidence for the success for many
common operations, including knee arthroscopies, back fusion or
cardiac stenting, become current accepted practice without full
examination of the evidence. The placebo effect may be real, but is
it worth the recovery time, expense and discomfort?
