        Right - if the operation fails the other one will still be good.

            No need to worry, it'll probably just grow back again.

              When I was in my mid to late 20s I had keyhole surgery on my knee. Before hand the surgeon came in for a chat, took out a marker pen and drew an arrow on y thigh pointing to the knee. I asked if all they did was wheel people in, strip them off and operate at the end of all the arrows. After the operation I was being discharged and the nurse reading the discharge notes said "You've had a left arthroscopy". I interrupted and said "A what?" She said "Arthroscopy, it is what the operation is called". I said "I know that, but it was my right knee." She said "Are you sure?" I said "Fairly sure, it is the right knee that has the big bandage on it". "Oh", she replied, "It says left here". Good luck ;P

                Don't worry too much; keyhole surgery is pretty unobtrusive and unlikely to leave much scarring, if any. If it helps I had my left shoulder cut open (i.e. non-keyhole surgery under a local anaesthetic) to remove a lipoma a few weeks ago. I didn't feel a thing; had stitches in for two weeks and then it took about another fortnight to heal fully once they were out. Now all that remains is a small (1.5cm long) scar, and it's barely noticeable. Remember your surgeon will be a professional, and this is what they do every day. :rose:

                          Anytime. :rose: It's perfectly natural to be worried about something like this if you've no direct experience of it, so please don't feel guilty.
