Once you are ready for surgery you will be taken to the pre-anaesthetic room. In case you have any removable dentures and or lenses please remove them and hand them over to your relatives. Please do not hesitate in asking any questions, we are here to help you through this with the most ease.

After the surgery you will be in the Recovery room with an oxygen mask and monitoring for some time and will be shifted to your room in due course.

Our Anesthesia department believes in keeping the patients as pain free as possible & you may be given pain medications for the same.
