the robe they give you, maybe underware. depends but after you get all druged up. you won't even care.
ans2. The last several occasions I've had day surgery, (cataracts, and skin cancer) there have been no restrictions.
It is usually only where serious invasive surgery is contemplated, that the increased hygiene is needed.
For example for brain surgery, sometimes the patient is fully conscious, but there hygiene would holds sway.
That does depend a great deal on what is being operated on, however:
- it is usually a good idea to wear tops with loose-fitting sleeves and which buttons up the front. This means if one of your hands or arms are cannulated, it's easier to get the top on or off. Likewise, it's easier to take a blood pressure with loose sleeves.
-If the surgery is abdominal, go with elasticated trousers/ pj trousers. Nothing tight fitting will be pleasant.
- A metal free bra (if you're female and may require xrays/MRI's etc...)
- Decent underwear.
- Take pyjamas, just incase you end up staying there overnight.
Smokers should stop or cut back on smoking prior to surgery.
It is advised to bring enough money along to cover postoperative prescription drugs.
Patients should be in good health before undergoing ambulatory surgery.
Depends on your insurace. It should be an out-patient procedure, unless there are unforseen complications.
While many outpatient surgeries are covered by insurance plans, many are not. Candidates for such surgeries should check in advance with their insurance carrier concerning whether their procedures are covered on an outpatient basis.
You should know all the risk associated with cosmetic surgery before you undergo any.
Aspirin should not be taken before surgery, as it can increase the risk of excessive bleeding
as for me,Its NO I do believe that beauty has nothing to do, more important is what you are "inside"
Zyban is one of the medications which you should inform the doctor of if you are going to undergo surgery. This includes dental surgery as well as general surgery.
There are differences between outpatient surgery settings that should also be considered when outpatient surgery is suggested. Ambulatory Surgical Centers are privately owned, free standing facilities that may or may not be affiliated with a hospital. Because the ambulatory surgery center is not affiliated with a hospital, the staff may not be "on call." … If you develop complications and require emergency services or hospital admittance after your operation, hospital staff may have difficulty getting information from the ambulatory surgery centers as quickly as they could from an affiliated outpatient facility.
Joint replacement surgery should not be done on patients with infection, or any heart, kidney or lung problems that would make it risky to undergo general anesthesia.
You should use an appropriate E/M code (inpatient, outpatient, or consultation) as applicable and append modifier 57 for decision of surgery.
