What Does My Surgical Assist Do For Me?
Before surgery, a Surgical Assist will reexamine your records and medical charts to verify that all available precautions have been implemented before conferring with the operating room.
The Surgical Assist next verifies that all needed equipment and instruments are present in the O.R. and arranged to suit the surgeon’s preference.
Once you are in the operating room and under anesthesia, the Surgical Assist works directly under the surgeon’s supervision and provides surgical support as directed. The Surgical Assist is an experienced and licensed professional certified to aid the surgeon in case of emergency.
Postoperatively, the Surgical Assist assesses your condition to ensure the operation was successful and determines if there are any post-operative complications.
