When do you need surgery?
When your doctors have run out of options to treat your disease, condition, or injury, surgery may be the only best option.
Quality of life is often the deciding factor, especially if it involves mobility, pain, and other such symptoms.
Let’s look at the types of surgery before we delve into the purpose.
Emergency Surgery
Required Surgery
Elective Surgery
Purpose of any kind of surgery
- Diagnostic or Investigative Action to Explore the Root of Your Health Problem
- Biopsy of an Abnormal Tissue Mass or Lesion
- Obstruction Removal
- Diseased Tissue or Organ Removal
- Bypass Surgeries Rechannelling or Redirecting Blood Vessels
- Tissue or Organ Transplantation
- Mechanical or Electronic Device Implantation
- Cosmetic Surgery
Request an Appointment
If you have consulted a doctor from RxDx and have been advised of surgery, your doctor will direct you to our Surgical Care Department.
If you have consulted a non-RxDx doctor and have been advised of surgery, please request an appointment with our Surgeons. Bring your prescription along with the diagnostic and lab reports during your visit with the surgeon.
Methods of booking an appointment
Admission & Discharge Process
- On the day of your surgery, you will be admitted to your allotted bed in the day care ward
- The nurses will take your vitals and prep you for the treatment
- Your vitals will be monitored round-the-clock
- The nurse will administer your medicine and set up your IV-line as needed
- The supervising physician on call will check on you from time to time
- The surgeon will perform your scheduled surgery in our OT room
- You will be discharged once your condition has stabilised and your doctor has signed you off with the prescription course to follow post-treatment
Pre-Surgery Lab and Diagnostics
Why do you need these tests?
Will some tests be repeated after surgery?
Radiology and Lab Tests before Surgery
Common Lab Tests
HIV
HBSAG or Hepatitis B surface antigen
Part of a routine infection screening
COVID-19 RT-PCR/ Rapid Antigen Test
CBC
Anaemia (from low red blood cells count) and infections can be detected from Complete Blood Count.
PT/PTT
WBC
Blood Chemistry Panel
Arterial Blood Gas
This test is extremely necessary if your surgery involves general anaesthesia, and your doctor feels you may have breathing issues or lung disease.
Sodium / Potassium
Glucose
Some Scans may be required for Diagnosis
ECG/EKG
How well is your heart functioning? An ECG is often the number one question your surgeon may have, judging your age, health, and surgery type.
An Electrocardiogram will record the electrical activity of your heart and how strong your heart muscles are. They also reveal murmurs, fluttering heartbeats, and look for reasons for chest pain.
Chest X-Ray
You will be advised Chest X-ray if you have shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and certain fevers. Your doctor may also use an X-ray as a diagnostic method for heart and lung sounds.
MRI / CT Scan / X-rays
Abdominal procedures and orthopaedic operations are common situations where a doctor needs to see the scan reports before a scheduled surgery to understand the problem’s latest status and location.
Ultrasound
- Pregnancy test
- Liver function panel
Are all these tests necessary for any surgery?
- based on your current health,
- to further diagnose your condition
- the kind of procedure you need or planned to have
- what risk markers they need to check
If you have any doubts about prescribed tests, please speak with your medical team before getting on with them
Will all prescribed lab tests be available at RxDx, or do I have to go somewhere else?
Getting Ready for a Surgery
This part goes according to the type of operation you are going to have
- Change into a gown if needed or stay in your clothes, as your doctor suggests
- Some form of identification may be assigned to you
- You may have an IV line fitted to your forearm for medication or anaesthesia administration
- A stretcher may be used to take you to the OT room, or you can walk in, depending on the surgery
This is how our operating room looks.
- The temperature inside the OT may be cold as a measure to prevent bacterial growth
- The surgical table is flexible enough that its height, length, and tilt can be adjusted
- The OT lamps provide ample light without shadows during the operation
- Monitors connected to you will track your vitals like heart rate and BP
- Depending on your anaesthesia method, a ventilator or breathing support will be on standby
- Instruments used within an OT are sterile
- The OT is also equipped with machines to control any bleeding
- Any other device needed during surgery is close at hand
Well before your procedure, if you have any concern or query on your mind, do reach out to your Surgical Care Team.
Questions to ask Before a Procedure
What is the operation you are undergoing?
Is the estimated cost going to cover everything? What are the exclusions? Should you prepare for a buffer?
Find out if your insurance is going to cover enough. Some miscellaneous or non-surgical items are not covered by insurance.
Do you need a delay in the schedule to arrange the funds?
Is your doctor aware of your medical history?
Can any medicine or device cause you allergies?
How is your recovery process going to be?
What kind and level of discomfort you can expect?
How much risk is involved, and how does it weigh against the benefit you seek?
Pre-surgery Imaging is most commonly required in cases of muscular or tissue injury and inflammation.
Abdominal procedures and orthopaedic operations are common situations where a doctor needs to see the scan reports before a scheduled surgery to understand the problem’s latest status and location.
Do you have anybody to take care of you?
If you are not clear with the information received from your medical team, please ask again. You can ask for websites or articles, or materials related to the condition you are being treated for or ask your physician to explain further.
Recovering from Surgery
Please adhere to the guidelines your doctor explains to you for hygienic and safe post-operative care. At the first sign of discomfort, talk to your medical point of contact. Seek help on time.
Post-Operative Care
We can help you with Post-Surgical Management at Home and Deliver Medicines to your Doorstep.
Check on the area of your body where you underwent your operation. Maintain a clean, dry, safe spot there.
For any medical queries and assistance, reach out to our Surgical Care team.
