Pre-operative Instructions
Preparing for surgery is an important step to ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery. The pre-operative phase focuses on clear communication, planning, and patient safety.
Consultation
During the pre-operative consultation, I review your diagnosis, medical history, medications, and any previous surgeries. This is also your opportunity to ask questions and share your expectations or concerns.
Explanation of the Technique
I explain the planned procedure in detail, including the surgical approach, expected outcomes, and recovery process. I believe that well-informed patients feel more confident and prepared.
Consent Signing
Before surgery, you will be asked to sign a consent form. This confirms that you understand the procedure, its benefits, and possible alternatives, and that you agree to proceed.
Discussion of Risks
All surgical procedures carry some risks. I discuss these openly and honestly, including how risks are minimized. Your safety and well-being are always my priority.
