Your urologist is responsible for your treatment during your stay,
and will make arrangements for your urologic procedure, required pre
and post-procedure testing, medications, anesthesia (if necessary),
and any other special treatment.
Your urologist may request certain records or information. Please
bring these with you.
Wear loose-fitting warm clothing - something easy to put back on
after your procedure is completed. Limit jewelry to wedding and/or
engagement rings.
Prior to your treatment, a nurse from the facility will contact
you to discuss your procedure with you. Upon your arrival, an
anesthesiologist will interview you and review your medical history
just prior to your treatment.
The length of time you will be at the facility is approximately 4
hours. The first half hour will be spent getting you registered and
prepared for your procedure. The next 1.5 to 2 hours will be for the
procedure. The urologist will talk with your family at the end of the
procedure. You will spend approximately 1.5 hours in the recovery
area. Your family may be asked to join you. You will get dressed and
be discharged from this area. You MUST have someone drive you home.
Several days before your procedure, you will be scheduled for
tests that may include blood work, urinalysis, kidney x-rays, and
pregnancy test (if applicable). You may also be required to take a
chest x-ray and ECG. These tests will assist us in providing you the
very best of care. The results of these tests must be sent to the facility
as soon as possible prior to your procedure. A pregnancy test must be
taken within seven days of treatment.
Over-the-counter herbal
& vitamin supplements are medications that can affect your
surgical procedure and interfere with your prescription medications.
It is important that you inform your doctor that you are taking these
supplements. The preferred course of action is to stop taking herbal
& vitamin supplements 1 - 2 weeks prior to your procedure if at
all possible.
The following
medications contain ingredients which may interfere with your blood's
ability to clot. You should discontinue these listed
drugs seven (7) days prior to your procedure. Please let your physician know if
you take other aspirin containing drugs or arthritis medications that
are not on the list. Please continue to take any other
medications which you may be taking under the direction of your
physician. If you have any
questions regarding this, please call your physician.
