Preparing for Spine Surgery
Preparing for surgery is an important step towards ensuring a smooth and successful surgical experience. At King’s Spine Centre Dubai, we prioritize patient safety, comfort, and peace of mind. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get ready for your upcoming procedure.
Pre-Surgical Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed pre-surgical consultation with our expert team. During this session, your surgeon will explain the procedure, discuss potential risks, and outline the expected outcomes. It’s essential to ask any questions you may have and fully understand the process. We ask you to bring a list of your current medications, allergies, and medical history to ensure we have all the necessary information.

Pre-Operative Testing
Depending on your surgery type, you might need to undergo several pre-operative tests, such as blood work, X-rays, or an MRI. These tests help us tailor the procedure to your specific needs and ensure you’re in optimal health for surgery. Follow all instructions regarding fasting or medication adjustments before these tests.
Medication and Lifestyle Adjustments
Your surgeon may recommend stopping certain medications that include blood thinners, a few days before surgery. Additionally, you are advised maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with balanced diet and regular exercise for a quicker recovery. Smoking cessation is particularly important, as smoking can interfere with the healing process.
The Day Before Surgery
On the day before your surgery, follow the specific instructions provided by your surgeon. This often includes fasting from midnight, avoiding certain foods and drinks, and preparing your home for post-operative care. Make sure you have a responsible adult available to drive you to and from the hospital and assist you at home.
What to Bring on Surgery Day
On the day of your surgery, bring comfortable clothing, essential toiletries, and any necessary medical documents. Ensure you have your identification and insurance information ready. Arrive at the hospital at the designated time to complete any remaining paperwork and pre-operative preparations.
Post-Surgical Care
Understanding post-surgical care is vital for a smooth recovery. Our surgeon will provide detailed instructions on wound care, medication management, and activity restrictions. Attending follow-up appointments is crucial to monitoring your progress and address any concerns promptly.
