Information Leaflets
** IMPORTANT **
All patient information leaflets normally undergo a complete revision every three years. Leaflets for newly-introduced procedures may be introduced at any stage, whilst essential changes to existing leaflets are made to the published versions as soon as possible.
Most of the leaflets listed below are marked as "due for review in April 2020". Sadly, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, BAUS has had to put this major review on hold until further notice. A small number of documents, however, have been reviewed & revised during the summer of 2020, and are now marked as "due for review in August 2023".

Please be aware that there may be minor variations in individual surgical practice that are not necessarily reflected in individual leaflets. In particular, the impact and timing of after-effects, together with recovery times, can vary a lot from patient to patient. The BAUS Office staff are not medically qualified and are not able to comment on these issues; you should, therefore, take your surgeon's advice about the risks of any procedure and their impact on you as an individual.
