Pre-Surgical Preparation

Optimal pre-operative preparation reduces the risk of surgical complications and assists in maximising your chances of achieving a rapid recovery and the best quality outcome from your procedure. Particularly where reversible health problems exist that create additional risk for surgical or anaesthetic complications, pre-surgical assessment and management will optimise your chances of a successful result. Common examples where health optimisation prior to your operation may be recommended include for the management of obesity, obstructive sleep apnoea, cigatette smoking, anaemia, opiate dependency and physical deconditioning. Management of these conditions, particularly within the relatively short time frames available prior to surgery, is typically best undertaken with the assistance of a health professional.

Within our facility at Brisbane Hip Clinic we are pleased to offer a range of pre-surgical preparation programs through our partner Recovery Medical.
