 Got a holiday coming up?
It’s important to share your travel plans with your surgeon and the practice staff. The five main reasons for this are; * So we can check the timing of your surgery is appropriate and allows ample time for recovery * Discuss what holiday activities and exercise you will be able to do * Check if the surgical wound will be sufficiently healed for you to be able to spend long periods in the car, to fly (possible risk of bleeding or DVT) or swim in the pool or ocean (possible increased risk of infection). * Discuss if you will have adequate back up medical support * If either your surgery or holiday has to be rescheduled, then we can do so early on Dr Blennerhassett - "I find some patients try and squeeze in their surgery before a holiday when, in some cases, it may be better to wait until afterwards, when they are back to their normal routine and have more back up support around." |
