Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The surgical procedure can be considered a transition in the patient's life. The transition can generate instability and produce negative effects, which may be temporary or permanent. Failure to prepare people to deal with the unexpected, such as diagnosing a disease, such as cancer, and surgical necessity can be a frightening and frustrating experience, developing painful and distressing feelings, involving their family members as well.
