Planning your care

- What is the proposed operation, what are the alternatives and which surgical approach is appropriate?
- How many appointments are needed for surgical assessment, anaesthetic assessment and follow-up, separately from hospital nights?
- Who will review wounds, drains or stents, and what must happen before travel home?
