Do not let  this page con you into thinking surgical  clips will do you no harm. Doctors that do not tell you they have left the clips in your body are not informing you of possible complications if the clips are left in sensitive tissue. I have a very serious side effect from clips left in my neck. I can no longer eat, talk, drink, laugh, and the swelling in my throat causes issues with infection, lymph drainage, blood circulation, nerve damage,  breathing and the closing of my vocal cords. CLIPS CAUSE SECONDARY INJURIEY THAT CAN AND ARE LIFE THREATENING DO NOT THINK THIS IS UNTRUE. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!!! REMOVAL OF CLIPS CAN CAUSE LIFE LONG INJURIES! Do not think clips are OK! demand from your doctor not to use clips. It may cost you your life! And if you die you will be Dead! Your surgeon will get away with murder!  and no law suite will bring you back to life. BSN 2017
