what is the routine surgery!.!.!.!.that is important to know!. People's ability to tolerate surgery well is a combination of the procedure type, their general cardiovascular and pulmonary health, and their ability to tolerate anesthesia (which may be related occasionally to liver and kidney function)!.!.!.!.the physician should do something called a "pre-operative evaluation" which takes into account all of these factors!.!.!. the point of the evaluation is to minimize the risk and optimize the patient for surgery!.!.!.!.if the procedure is routine and elective (meaning the patient won't die without it)!.!.!.!.the procedure may be postponed until the patient's overall health status is tweaked!.!.!.!.the anesthesiologist should should also be able to give an appropriate risk assessment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Any surgical procedure has a risk!. But for a younger healthy person the risk from anaesthesia is very low!. Where a person is at high risk from general anaesthesia then it is not given and some other appropriate method is used!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
There is more risk with the actual surgery than there is with the anesthetic!.
Before her surgery, she can ask the anesthesiologist as many questions as she would like!. They don't mind having discussions with their patients!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
