Having Surgery
This section aims to help you find out what you need or want to know before having an operation. It takes you through the different stages and includes a list of questions you may find useful.
You do not always have to ask lots of questions as the hospital staff will give you most of this information automatically. However, we may overlook things or believe you know them already, so do not feel embarrassed about asking questions.
It is important that you know a certain amount of information before you sign a consent form, and, that you have the information you need to make your recovery as easy and free from worry as possible.
At a time when you may be anxious, it is difficult to remember everything and you may find it useful for you to have someone with you to help you remember.
