Preparing for Surgery

When it comes to undergoing surgery, proper preparation is vital to ensure a successful outcome. At Foley James D MD, we prioritize the well-being and safety of our patients throughout their surgical journey. Here, we will take you through the steps involved in preparing for surgery and what you can expect when going to the operating room.

Initial Consultation

Before your surgery, you will have an initial consultation with our experienced medical team. During this appointment, we will discuss the details of the procedure, answer any questions or concerns you may have, and evaluate your medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate for surgery. We take the time to thoroughly assess your overall health and determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Preoperative Testing

Depending on the type of surgery you will be undergoing, our team may request preoperative testing to gather additional information about your current health status. These tests may include bloodwork, imaging scans, or other diagnostic procedures. The results of these tests help us tailor the surgical plan to your individual requirements, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Day of Surgery

The day of surgery can often bring about a mix of emotions. At Foley James D MD, our dedicated team is here to provide you with compassionate care and support throughout the entire process.

Check-In and Admission

Upon arrival at the hospital or surgical center, you will be guided through the check-in process. This typically involves providing necessary paperwork and completing any final preparations. Once admitted, you will be directed to the preoperative area, where our team will review your medical history, confirm the procedure, and address any last-minute concerns.

Preparation and Anesthesia

Before the surgery begins, our anesthesiologist will meet with you to discuss the anesthesia options and determine the most appropriate choice for your procedure. We prioritize your comfort and safety, so you can rest assured that you will be in good hands throughout the administration and monitoring of anesthesia.

The Operating Room

When it's time for your surgery, you will be escorted to the operating room. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with advanced technology and staffed by a skilled surgical team. The operating room maintains strict sterilization protocols to minimize the risk of infection and ensure a clean environment for your procedure.

During and After Surgery

Throughout the surgery, our expert surgeons and specialized medical staff will be focused on your well-being, monitoring your vital signs and ensuring the procedure is progressing smoothly. Once the surgery is complete, you will be moved to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), where our team will closely monitor your recovery. Our dedicated nurses will provide pain management, if needed, and offer guidance on your postoperative care.
