What to expect
Before
Your journey begins with a medical consultation and a physical examination. The doctor reviews your symptoms and your medical history, and arranges any additional investigations if they are needed. Together you then go through the diagnosis, the treatment options open to you, and the recovery plan, so you understand your condition and arrive reassured about the path ahead.
During
The operation is carried out using the most appropriate surgical technique for your condition, under either local or general anaesthesia depending on the procedure. How long it takes varies according to the condition being treated. Throughout, your safety and comfort remain the priority.
After
Afterwards you are given detailed instructions for wound care, pain management and your daily activities. Most patients return to their normal activities within a short period, depending on the procedure. Follow-up appointments keep an eye on your healing, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations may be provided to support your recovery and reduce the chance of the problem coming back.
