Pre Operative Preparation
Before surgery begins, patients undergo thorough pre-operative preparations. This includes changing into surgical attire and meeting with our nursing staff for essential assessments. Discussions with our healthcare team ensure personalized care tailored to individual needs, addressing any concerns or questions patients may have.
Surgical Procedure
In our state-of-the-art surgical facility, patients are guided with care and comfort to ensure a safe procedure. Our skilled surgical team, comprising experienced surgeons, nurses, and technicians, utilizes advanced technology and equipment to maintain precision and safety throughout the operation.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
After surgery, patients transition to our dedicated recovery area where they receive continuous monitoring from our trained staff. Emphasizing comfort and pain management, we provide tailored interventions and a serene environment conducive to recovery.
General Post-Operative Instructions
Because you have received sedation during your procedure/surgery, you may experience some mild after-effects for a few hours following your operation or procedure. To ensure your comfort and safety during this period, please adhere to the following precautions unless instructed otherwise by your doctor:
No alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours.
Do not drive or operate machinery for 24 hours after returning home.
Avoid making major/legal decisions for 24 hours after returning home.
Contact your doctor if you experience nausea or vomiting.
Avoid strenuous activity until seen by your doctor/surgeon. Stair climbing should be done slowly and carefully – you may tire easily with the activity, which is expected.
Avoid lifting anything over 10 pounds.
Advance your diet slowly over the next day or two – avoid spicy, greasy, and heavy meals.
Discharge Process
As patients prepare to leave, our nursing staff provides comprehensive discharge instructions, ensuring an understanding of post-operative guidelines, personalized medications, and follow-up appointments. We are committed to supporting our patients every step of the way, offering assistance and answering questions before they depart from our ASC.
