Frequently Asked Questions – General Surgery
Patients and health care providers are partners in health care. Here are five common sense tips to engage patients in their own health care:
-
1. How do I know if I need surgery?
Your surgeon will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic results to determine whether surgery is necessary. They will also discuss alternatives and expected outcomes to help you make an informed decision.
2. What information should I share before surgery?Provide your complete medical history, current medications (including vitamins and over-the-counter drugs), allergies, past surgeries, and any recent lab results or imaging. This helps your surgical team plan a safe procedure.
3. Should I bring my medicines to the hospital?Yes. Bringing all your medications allows your surgical team to review for potential interactions and adjust prescriptions as needed for a safe operation and recovery.
4. How do I inform my surgical team about allergies?Notify your surgeon and nursing staff about any allergies or previous adverse reactions to medications, anesthesia, or foods. This is crucial for your safety during and after surgery.
5. What should I know before leaving the hospital after surgery?Make sure you understand your post-operative care instructions, medications, wound care, follow-up appointments, and any lifestyle modifications. Proper understanding ensures safe recovery and reduces complications.
