Are there any risks associated with preoperative tests?
While preoperative tests are generally safe, some tests may carry minor risks. For example: - Blood Tests: Minor bruising or infection at the puncture site. - Imaging Studies: Exposure to low levels of radiation, though the benefits usually outweigh the risks. - Biopsy: Risk of bleeding, infection, or discomfort at the biopsy site. Healthcare providers take measures to minimize these risks and ensure patient safety.
