What are cold therapy devices (cryotherapy) and pain pumps? Are they necessary for surgery?

These devices can help decrease pain, swelling, and inflammation after surgery. Even without the devices, you will have numbing medication injected at the end of surgery which typically lasts 3-5 hours; this will give you enough time to return home and start taking your oral pain medications.

What occurs in my pre-operative visit?

This will take place a few days before the surgery date. If you are under 18 years of age, your parent or guardian must come with you to sign your operative consent. Please be prepared to inform the physician of any drug allergies or sensitivities.

When and how will my surgery be scheduled?

Please contact our surgical coordinator to discuss surgery dates and info.
