Are there any preoperative measures that can help reduce surgical risks?
Yes, several preoperative measures can help reduce surgical risks. These include comprehensive pre-surgical assessments to evaluate the patient's overall health and identify any potential risk factors. Prehabilitation, or physical preparation before surgery, can enhance physical fitness and improve recovery outcomes. Additionally, optimizing medical management of existing conditions and providing thorough patient education about the procedure and postoperative care are essential steps in risk reduction.
