Day of Surgery

What type of anesthesia will I have?

Most of our cases are performed under spinal anesthesia. We feel this is the safest anesthesia for you and unless there is a recommendation from the anesthesiologist, this is the method preferred. You will be meeting with the anesthesiologist on the day of surgery and at that time any questions or concerns regarding this will be addressed.
 

How long will the surgery take?

Depending upon the difficulty of your case, the surgery may take several hours. In general, you should expect 2-3 hours in surgery and 2-3 hours in the recovery room.
 

Will the surgeon see my family immediately after surgery is completed?

Whenever possible, the surgeon or one of his assisting surgeons will meet with family members immediately after surgery. If for any reason the family misses seeing the surgeon, they should contact his office the next day and all efforts will be made to arrange a time for the surgeon and family to discuss the patient's surgery.
