Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have irreversible damage if I delay surgery?

Chris Urban M.D.
This depends on the specific cause of the patient's symptoms. Most often, a period of non-operative therapy is recommended prior to considering surgery. A majority a patients experience relief of their symptoms after a few weeks and can avoid surgery. However, when the spinal cord is severely compressed, the pressure on the nerves may cause irreversible damage. I sometimes use the analogy of a heavy brick placed on top of a garden hose causing it to be compressed.

FAQ - Printer Version
If pressure on a nerve or the spinal cord lasts for a long period of time, it is possible that the changes in the nerve or spinal cord can become permanent. This would generally be the case in someone who had significant weakness or clumsiness as symptoms of their spinal degeneration. For patients who primarily have neck pain, there is probably little chance of permanent damage if surgery is delayed, as long as their problem is related to simple degeneration.

How common is nerve damage in facial surgery ?

Cosmetic Surgery India
Nerve damage in facial surgery is a fairly general question. Certain procedures have more nerve damage than others. If we limit our discussion to facial implants then we can talk about damage to the nerve that supplies sensation to the middle of the face, which is associated with cheek implants, and the nerve that supplies sensation to the lower lip, which is associated with chin implants. Fortunately this is fairly unusual.

An irreversible process is a process where the work is less than allowed by the Carnot principle. Work readily reverts to heat. In order to capture work, controlled expansion has to take place in a device such as a turbine; there must be a means of getting the work out of the system such as a mechanical shaft – thus the name shaft work.

If I overturn an Eye Rake to reverse a maneuver, will my next strike or grapple become irreversible?

Raw Deal FAQ: Complete
No. Even though Eye Rake does not specify its effects as working only when playing it from the hand, neither does it explicitly break the rule that overturned reversals do no damage and have no special effects when overturned. So simply, Eye Rake's special irreversible effect does not trigger if it is overturned.
