I am anxious about anesthesia and potential complications in such a delicate surgery near the inner ear. How do surgeons minimize risks, and what should patients do before and after surgery to ensure the safest possible outcome?

Surgeons minimize risk by performing careful pre-operative assessments, using experienced anesthesiologists, and employing precise microsurgical techniques. Patients should disclose all health conditions and medications, follow fasting instructions, and attend pre-surgery checkups. Post-operative care includes avoiding sudden head movements, adhering to activity restrictions, and attending follow-up visits for monitoring. With proper precautions, serious complications are rare, and patients usually recover safely with restored hearing.
