The risks of surgery
are minimised by utilising a system of screening and investigations.
These include a detailed medical and surgical history, tests and
investigations may be needed such as X-rays, ultrasound scans, blood
tests, urinalysis, circulatory assessment and blood pressure
measurement. If any of these investigations raises concerns then
medical opinion may be sought and your operation may be deferred.
