Before your appointment
The team checks kidney function, contrast history and medicines. Clarify whether consent covers diagnostic imaging alone or possible treatment.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- Duration depends on diagnostic complexity and whether an intervention is added.
- Hospital stay
- A monitored hospital attendance, sometimes with an overnight stay. The access route, treatment extent and clinical stability determine discharge.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan for preoperative assessment, one operation attendance or admission, and postoperative review. These are three planning stages, not a guaranteed total of three visits: tests, wound care or staged treatment may add appointments.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Observation and wrist or groin care follow the catheter procedure. Ask about activity limits, results and whether further treatment requires another visit.
