Before your appointment
Discuss why tissue is needed, the target location and procedure-specific risks. The team reviews imaging and medicines before surgery.
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
- Imaging, anaesthesia, sampling and observation determine the admission plan.
- Hospital stay
- Plan for inpatient care. The clinical team specifies the expected hospital nights, level of monitoring and any additional stay near the centre.
- 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
- Neurological monitoring follows sampling. Pathology and molecular results can take different amounts of time and guide the next treatment discussion.
