Before Surgery:
Questions to Ask
Preparing for surgery can be a scary time of unknowns.
When it comes to learning more about your options, you
may not even know where to start. The first step is finding a
surgeon whose guidance and care you trust. Then, talk openly
about your treatment and concerns.
Here are some possible questions:
What options are available? Options may include open
surgery, laparoscopic surgery, da Vinci robotic surgery, or, in
some cases, nonsurgical options. Learning about the risks and
benefits of all options will help determine which is best
for you.
What is your experience? Look for a surgeon who has
experience with the surgical procedure you are going to have.
What kind of outcomes have they seen?
What can I expect pre- and post-surgery? What kind of
anesthesia is required for the procedure? How long will the
procedure take? What is the recovery process and does it vary
by surgical option (open, laparoscopic or robotic)? What are
the risks of my particular surgery?
Is the surgery covered by my insurance? Talk with your
insurance provider and make sure you communicate with your
surgeon about your insurance provider and coverage. This may
alter your surgeon’s recommendation so that you get the most
cost-effective medical treatment.
