Your Guide to a Successful Procedure

pre-operative planning

Before embarking on your journey toward improved health and well-being with surgery, it's essential to understand and follow our pre-operative instructions. These guidelines are crafted to ensure your safety, minimize the risk of complications, and enhance your recovery process.

Pre-Surgery Checklist

Prior to your surgery, it's important to carefully follow our pre-surgery checklist to ensure your safety and comfort and to help facilitate a smooth procedure and recovery. This checklist provides important guidelines on fasting, medication management, transportation, attire, consultations, and post-operative preparations.

Fasting: Depending on the type of anesthesia to be used, you may be required to fast for several hours before the surgery. Typically, no food or drink should be consumed at least 6 to 8 hours prior to your appointment.

Medication Management: If you're on any medications, please discuss this with your surgeon as some may need to be temporarily discontinued or adjusted.

Transportation Arrangements: Ensure you have arranged for someone to drive you home post-surgery, as the effects of anesthesia may impair your ability to drive safely.

Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothes on the day of the surgery. Avoid wearing jewelry or accessories.

Pre-Surgery Consultation: Attend a pre-operative consultation to address any questions or concerns and to discuss the details of your procedure.

Post-Operative Care Plan: Familiarize yourself with the post-operative care plan ahead of time so you know what to expect after surgery.

Adherence to these pre-operative instructions is crucial for a smooth surgical experience. If you have any questions or need further clarification on any of these points, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
