Specifics about the Procedure
On the day of your surgery, you will be asked to report to the Ambulatory Surgical Center at least one hour before surgery and must be accompanied by someone capable of driving you home. You will not have eaten nor drunk anything since dinner the night before. I will meet with you during the hour prior to surgery to examine you and answer any questions.
Your procedure will usually take between 30 and 60 minutes. The procedure is performed under either a local, general or a spinal anesthetic, all of which are extremely safe and effective. These options will be discussed in detail with you by the anesthesiologist prior to the procedure.
You will usually remain in the recovery room for a minimum of one hour and as long as you need until you feel comfortably alert for travel.
