Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare for surgery?

We provide specific instructions based on your procedure. Generally: follow fasting instructions, take medications as directed, arrange transportation, and prepare your home for recovery.

Will I have minimally invasive surgery?

We prefer minimally invasive approaches when appropriate. The best approach depends on your condition, anatomy, and overall health. Your surgeon will recommend the safest, most effective option.

How long is the hospital stay?

Stays vary by procedure: same-day discharge for minor procedures, 1-2 days for laparoscopic surgery, longer for major open procedures. We'll discuss expected stay before surgery.

What about pain after surgery?

We provide effective pain management including medications, techniques like nerve blocks, and non-pharmacological approaches. Our goal is comfortable recovery.

When can I return to normal activities?

Recovery time varies by procedure and individual factors. Minor procedures: days. Major surgery: weeks. We provide specific guidance based on your situation.

What if there's a complication?

Our team monitors for and addresses complications. We have dedicated surgical coverage, intensive care capabilities, and emergency response protocols.
