So as not to discover additional difficulties during the surgery, it is important that you follow the following instructions and consult us if you have any doubts.
- Avoid smoking during the 15 days prior to the intervention and if you cannot manage this, decrease to a maximum of 2 – 3 cigarettes per day.
- Remember that it is important you let us know about any medications you are taking..
- It is strictly forbidden to take aspirin or any medications containing acetylsalicylic acid for at least a week before as it can interfere with blood clotting. If you are being treated with an anticoagulant, let us know (Sintrom, Adiro, Disgren…)
- Wear comfortable clothing. If you wish, you can bring another shirt or top to change into as the sterile drapes are not breathable and you may sweat.
