Preparing for Surgery
On the day of the surgical procedure
- Abstain from eating or drinking for at least six hours before surgery.
- It's recommended to take a bath the night before or on the morning of the surgery, but avoid cleaning the hair in the surgical area at home.
- Bring essential documents, prescribed medications, and personal items in a bag while leaving jewelry and valuables at home.
On the Surgery Day
Several steps will be taken on the surgery day:
- Hospitalization procedures will confirm your personal information.
- Afterward, you'll be directed to the relevant service accompanied by hospital staff.
- Your vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature, will be measured upon settling into your room.
- Discussions about anesthesia options will occur, and your approval will be sought for the chosen type.
- You'll be provided with a one-piece operating room gown to wear just before the surgical procedure.
- The surgical procedure will take place in a sterile, scientifically compliant operating room, with a team comprising your surgeon, an operating room nurse, an anesthesiologist, and an anesthesia technician.
