The relative ability or familiarity of a Surgeon to perform a specific surgical procedure, should never become the sole indication to perform a specific surgical procedure.
Whereas, a Surgeon's relative inability or unfamiliarity to perform a given surgical procedure, should constitute an absolute contra-indication to do the same, following the basic non-violent principle of medical practice 'Primum non nocere' - 'First do no Harm', which should encompass everyone - the patient, the procedure, the surgeon, the team, the speciality, and even the health care facility.
