You should ask your doctor and surgeon about the risks well before you have the surgery. Don't wait until you are at the facility to have the procedure to ask. Also, look up the procedure online. You do not specify what type of elective surgery you are having, but you should be able to research the condition and surgery online to find out about the risks.
