Your Surgical Journey

Pre-Operative Assessment

As part of your pre-operative preparation, you’ll complete an assessment at Kent Hospital’s Ambulatory Surgery Center. During this appointment, you’ll have labs drawn and an EKG test, as well as a chest X-ray, if necessary. You’ll also meet with an anesthesiologist and review your current medications.

You will be notified about required appointments, because you may not need all of them. All tests can be performed on the Kent Hospital campus.

You will be contacted by our office only if we find issues with your results. Otherwise, your results will go directly to the surgical team. If you want copies of your results, we can provide them during your post-operative appointment or they are accessible through MyChart.

Preparing for Surgery

Prior to your procedure, you will have a preoperative visit to discuss the specifics of your surgical procedure and take the time to go over any preoperative workup you may need. We will also ensure you have all the proper instructions and paperwork at this time and answer any questions you may have.

Prior to your surgery, you may be asked to:

  • Have labs drawn or diagnostic procedures performed such as EKG or ultrasound;
  • Adjust or discontinue current medication schedules or add additional medications
  • Quit all nicotine-containing products

Preoperatively, the team will discuss with you:

  • What the procedure entails including the estimated length of the procedure and hospital stay;
  • Day of surgery instructions and information
  • Surgical consent and necessary diagnostic testing
  • Postoperative care and follow-up
Before Surgery
  • It is important that avoid alcohol or nicotine-containing products for at least three weeks prior to surgery
  • Make sure to get lots of rest and optimize nutrition when possible
  • Ensure that you will have a ride both to and from the hospital and a relative or friend to stay with you and assist for the first few days following your procedure
Day of Surgery

Do not eat or drink (including water) from midnight the night immediately before surgery, unless otherwise instructed. Do not wear makeup, jewelry, contact lenses, or body piercing items. Be sure your responsible adult companion accompanies you to the surgery location.
