Procedures before the surgery

Here is the information explaining what you will need to do to make your preoperative preparations go smoothly. We will help you, but it is your responsibility to make sure that your preoperative tests are completed before your surgery.

• Our staff will inform you what kind of tests you will need to give before your surgery in our Clinic. Patients whose test results are not received may have their surgery postponed.

• All patients need to undergo preoperative physical examination by the primary care physician or pediatrician.
  An early appointment will allow time for any abnormal results, if found, to be investigated. If you do not have a primary care physician, we may be able to direct you to one.
• Most patients will need to have a blood count (hematocrit) obtained.
  Anyone must have this blood test done before surgery.

• Some patients will need additional tests.

• A few patients will need to see a specialist.
  If you have a known health problem, such as a heart condition, you will need an additional authorization for surgery from your specialist. Please make your appointments accordingly and make sure that the specialist faxes us his/her approval.
