For patients undergoing surgery and anesthesia at our hospital

Please note the following before your surgery:

A preoperative examination will be conducted at the outpatient anesthesiology department the day before surgery.

We will ask you about any anesthesia you have had in the past, any allergies you may have, and information about your family.

Smoking cessation is absolutely necessary

Smokers are more likely to cough and produce phlegm after surgery, and are at higher risk of respiratory complications such as atelectasis.
There is also a higher risk of infection at the surgical site.

It is recommended that you stop smoking for at least four weeks, but you should stop smoking at least from the time the surgery is scheduled.
If smoking causes problems before surgery, surgery may be postponed.

If you have gel nails on your nails, please be sure to remove them before coming in.

Wearing false eyelashes is also prohibited on the day of surgery.
Also, please be aware that if you have extensions, they may fall out due to the tape used during anesthesia.

If necessary, consult a dentist beforehand.

If you have loose teeth, please have them checked at a nearby dentist if you have time.
