What are the risks involved in lasik eye surgery?
Some of the risks include your vision being over-corrected or under-corrected. You also still might need to wear eyeglasses or contacts after the procedure.
Can Pyloric stenosis be corrected?
It can be corrected effectively with surgery, and usually is in many countries. However, early recognised cases, mild cases and older babies with PS can be treated with carefully managed feeding and medication to relax the pyloric muscle. About 5-10% of these will still end up needing surgery - but the others will escape the trauma that surgery can bring to parents and baby alike.
How can you tell if you will have a deform baby?
Ultrasounds determine whether a baby has a deformity that would need to be assessed at the time of birth (and sometimes, serious deformities can be corrected while the fetus is still in utero) Aside from having an ultrasound (either a standard, 3D or 4D), there is not a way to determine by yourself whether you will have baby with deformities.

Need to talk to someone about scoliosis surgery?
Scoliosis surgery is a primarily indicated for cosmetic improvement of spinal deformity and not medically necessary. While surgical techniques and hardware have improved greatly in the past several decades, recent research suggests it is still fraught with poor long-term outcomes and chronic pain syndromes. Each patient must carefully weigh the cost/benefit ratio before undergoing any surgical procedure, but particularly one as invasive as multiple level spinal fusion surgery. You should talk to a doctor or surgeon about this.

Will your insurance pay for a thorocoplasty separate from your spinal fusion for scoliosis?
In cases where scoliosis has caused a significant deformity resulting in a rib hump, it is often possible to perform a surgery called a "costoplasty" (also called "thorocoplasty") in order to achieve a more pleasing cosmetic result. This procedure may be performed at any time after a fusion surgery, whether as part of the same operation or several years afterwards. It is usually impossible to completely straighten and untwist a scoliotic spine, and it should be noted that the level of cosmetic success will depend on the extent to which the fused spine still rotates out into the ribcage. A rib hump is evidence that there is still some rotational deformity to the spine. Specific weight training techniques can be used to influence this rotational deformity in the unfused parts of the spine. This leads to a marked decrease in pain and to some improvement in organ function depending on the person's particular case and is to be recommended over any cosmetic surgical procedure. Knowing insurance companies, I doubt they would cover a thorocoplasty as part of a Scoliosis claim, unless you can get your Dr on side and find a medical reason why you would also need this as part of your surgery. Because it is considered to be plastic surgery, you may struggle to get them to pay for it, it is not a very common procedure in the UK, although, there are people requesting it on the NHS.
