4. Important Information

Before Your Hospital Visit

- Prepare your medical records, test results, histopathology reports, and photographs of the lesion, if available.

- Inform your physician about any underlying medical conditions, allergies, previous surgeries, and current medications, especially anticoagulants. Do not stop any medication without your physician’s advice.

Planning Your Stay

The length of stay depends on the type of surgery and the recovery process. Patients should discuss the expected recovery time, dressing-change schedule, suture-removal appointment, follow-up visits, and timing of histopathology results (if applicable) with their physician in advance so they can plan their itinerary and flights accordingly.

Follow-up Care After Returning to Your Home Country

Follow the postoperative care instructions and recommended follow-up schedule. If you experience fever, increasing pain, spreading redness or swelling, pus discharge, persistent bleeding, or reopening of the surgical wound, seek prompt medical attention at a healthcare facility near your place of stay.
