FIND A DOCTOR

AT THE HOSPITAL

Take the following items with you:

  • A complete list of your routine medications, including doses and times, and your X-Rays
  • All papers for hospital admission, including a copy of your insurance policy (if requested in your country). 
  • Any equipment ordered for you by your doctor

THE DAY OF YOUR OPERATION

The surgical procedure will take about 1.5 hours.
It will be preceded by the pre-surgical preparation and followed by monitoring in the recovery room. The time away from your room will be longer than the operation, because of the time needed for your preparation for surgery, administration of anaesthesia and monitoring as you recover from the anaesthetic. Special care is taken to relieve pain after the surgery. Do not hesitate to reach out to your surgeon for pain relief.  Regular checks will be made by the surgical staff.
