(Admission)
After entering the hospital and final admission, you will be taken to the international patients’ ward by the head of the international patients’ ward to get acquainted with your treatment staff and your doctor. There, your specialist doctor will examine you. In this session, the doctor will discuss with you the reason why you want to have this operation, your expectations, and issues such as these. Your medical record is then compiled and all information such as the pills you are taking or your treatment history or possible problems you have had in the past will be reviewed and recorded by the medical team. You will then be admitted to be monitored to prepare for the operation. In the meantime, you will be evaluated by a nurse and your blood pressure will be checked and a blood sample will be taken from you to register your blood type and that you will go to the laboratory to check your blood sugar and cholesterol, etc. You will also be examined by a cardiologist and you will have an ECG taken from you and an echocardiogram if necessary. You will then be examined by an anesthesiologist to determine if you can have this surgery. You will be given information about the operation and pre-surgery training.
(Surgery)
You are taken to the operation room according to a predetermined time. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and does not require general anesthesia. After the operation, you will be taken to the recovery ward to be monitored and your vital signs will be recorded second by second and you will be constantly monitored by the anesthesiologist and surgeon. Your medication, which was started the day before to prevent infection, will continue. Also, your bleeding will be completely under control and your dressings will be changed regularly. Serum therapy will begin for you to regain physical strength. You will be examined by your doctor in the ward. If necessary, more tests will be taken to ensure your health. During this period, according to the doctor’s diagnosis, either a painkiller is used for you, or a pain pump is installed.
(Discharge)
If your condition is stable, the necessary training after discharge for home care and proper exercise or diet will be taught by the treatment team. If needed and at the doctor’s discretion, you may be monitored for an additional night, otherwise you can be discharged on the same day. Your medications will be adjusted and you will be instructed on how to take these medications at home.
It is better to stay in Iran for a week after discharge to avoid a long trip and to easily access the doctor and be examined if you need to. But if you want, you can return home any day you want from the day after the discharge. We will not leave you alone and whenever you have any questions, you can contact us or even have a video call with your doctor through the head of the department. In addition, your ward manager will be in touch with you in the first week after your discharge to ensure your health.
