Follow Up Appointment
If a rehabilitation programme has been recommended then further assessment of the condition will take place. The consultant surgeon will discuss with you the results of the investigations carried out. He will recommend appropriate treatment and you will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the benefits and any contra-indications of the treatment proposed.
If surgery is indicated, the proposed operation will be explained. All our patient care is based on informed consent, you will not be asked to agree to further or alternative procedures. You will always know exactly what operation you will be undergoing before admission to hospital.
If surgery is not required then you will be discharged back to your GP and other referring specialists but are able to return should the problems recur.
All patients are followed up, as required, following surgery to ensure that the repair is intact and they will be given guidance on return to activities.
