Non-PRO (1): Beatriz Galiano (X)
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

jeopardizing
or "without precluding later surgical options" (or "further surgical options" depending on the context)

no, thinking it over I don't like "precluding"
and I'd add "without jeopardizing the success of any further surgical options"
Link:
without fear of "calling off" subsequent surgical options
On that basis I understand your question to mean that the psychosis sufferer needs to be free from the fear of "calling off" or cancelling future surgical operations. That way, the person can avoid the risk of dying while being operated on, or through complications resulting from the operation.
If you come across any further context that would be welcome.
