Preparing for a Procedure
All surgical patients will be screened through our pre-surgical service at least 72 hours before their procedure and will be asked to remain strictly confined to their home with the exception of medical visits between the screening and their procedure and during the post-op period to reduce the risk of patients having complications related to a new diagnosis of COVID during their procedure or recovery.Your surgeon will review with you the risks, benefits and alternatives of proceeding with surgery during the pandemic and document that in the hospital chart.
