Before you ever enter an operating room, you can expect to receive a thorough examination and consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Martin will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and determine what is the best course of action for your condition. You may also undergo additional tests, such as bloodwork or imaging scans, if necessary.
Shortly before your surgery, Dr. Martin will provide you with any instructions you might need to follow prior to your procedure, like fasting for a certain amount of time or avoiding certain medications. On the day of your surgery, you will be admitted to the hospital and then taken to the operating room for your operation.
After surgery, you will be moved to a recovery area where your vital signs will continue to be monitored as you wake up from anesthesia. Then, Dr. Martin will provide detailed instructions for postoperative care, including wound care, pain management, and activity restrictions. It's essential to follow these instructions carefully to promote optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications.
