What
tests and other preparations are required before my surgery?
Dr. Pasha will begin by taking a careful history and
physical exam in office. Laboratory and X-rays may be
ordered depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Common tests include:
- Blood tests to check for bleeding disorders and body
chemistries
- EKG to check the status of your heart
- Urine analysis to check for pregnancy or kidney dysfunction
- Chest X-ray to see if your lungs are safe for surgery
If you have multiple medical problems, you may be required
to have surgical clearance by your primary care doctor.
If this is requested, you should make sure that proper
documentation has been obtained otherwise your surgery
will be cancelled.
