FAQ's

General surgeons typically review your symptoms and medical history and make a comprehensive diagnosis to decide whether surgery is required. In most cases, surgery is advised when other treatment options, such as medications, have failed to treat your condition. Our specialists will explain whether surgery is required and how it will improve your health.

It generally depends on the condition. For emergencies like appendicitis, surgery is the only option. Although conventional treatment options include lifestyle modifications, exercise, and medications, these may not respond positively to your condition. In some events, watchful waiting may be advisable to delay surgery or see if your health improves without or with traditional treatments. Surgery may still be the best choice, even after a period of watchful waiting to avoid complications.

Instructions will be given on how to prepare yourself for surgery. However, general ones include fasting for a certain period of time, avoiding blood thinners and other drugs, keeping jewelleries and other accessories at home, planning your transportation and stay at the hospital, informing our surgeons of any allergies you have, and making proper arrangements for your home-coming post-surgery.

Anaesthesia or mild to moderate sedatives will be administered during the procedure to reduce any pain or discomfort. However, you can expect some pain post-procedure and during your recovery period. These will be managed using pain medications and antibiotics prescribed by our doctors.

Recovery is unique for every individual. Our specialists will provide you with post-recovery instruction to enhance your healing. These may include restrictions on performing certain activities, adhering to medication schedules, avoiding certain foods and habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol, and attending follow-up appointments. Moreover, it may take days, weeks, or even months to attain full recovery. Our specialists will discuss them during your consultations.
