    Dr. Stuart Linder answered:
    Wrong site surgery is very rare. One can deal with the fear of wrong site surgery by having an open discussion with your surgeon both at consultation and pre-surgical. Have the area or extremity Marked by the surgeon and review again with the operating room nurses once brought into surgical suite.
