An informed financial consent form will be given to all patients once surgery booking is completed.

Dr Lee directly performs all aspects of procedures expedited through Castlemaine Health, whilst at Bendigo Health - a major regional teaching hospital - components of the surgery may be performed by a supervised surgical trainee.
