Planning your care
Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.
- 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?
