During your consultation, we’ll go over your surgery in detail, including the procedure itself, common and uncommon risks, and what to expect. We will also provide printed information with illustrations to help explain the procedure.

If you have additional questions after booking, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Some patients may find it helpful to schedule a follow-up appointment for further discussion. We’re here to ensure you feel as comfortable and informed as possible about your surgery.

Some discomfort at the surgery site is normal. If your surgery was aimed at pain relief, you may notice improvement during your hospital stay, though recovery times vary. Pain management is a priority, and you’ll be provided with pain relief in the hospital as well as instructions for managing pain at home.

The length of your stay depends on the procedure and can range from a day visit to up to two weeks. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe before your surgery. In cases of more complex surgeries or if additional support is needed, you may require inpatient rehabilitation, which we will arrange if necessary.

For some patients, a routine overnight stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) may be necessary, depending on the procedure and your health background. Occasionally, unexpected circumstances may arise that require ICU observation for longer periods.

Most surgeries are performed under general anaesthesia. In some cases, a local anaesthetic with or without sedation may be used, depending on the specific procedure. We’ll discuss the anaesthesia plan with you before your surgery to ensure you understand and are comfortable with it.
