How important is follow-up care by your surgeon?
It is crucial to monitor the progress of the wound healing process in order to:
- Assess for signs of infection or complications.
- scar management.
- For early physical rehabilitation after the surgery to improve the outcomes of the surgical procedures.
What should I ask during my consultation before the surgery?
You should be aware of the duration of the treatment and number of procedures you need to undergo in order to gain maximum function and minimise healing time. You should discuss with your doctor the precautions that you will need to take after the surgery .
