Surgery Info

Integrity Spine & Orthopedics' surgery info guide provides everything you need to prepare for your surgical procedure. You’ll receive care from the best spine specialists and orthopedic doctors, supported by a friendly, caring staff dedicated to your well-being.

Following the scheduling of your operation, you will receive a packet with all the paperwork you need for the procedure. This information should be kept secure so that it may be quickly retrieved when needed. When the appointments are made, you can also be given some pre-operative ones. They could be a pre-op visit at one of our clinics, a combined education session, or an appointment for pre-admission testing at the hospital. Furthermore, consent from your primary care physician and any specialists you see may be required. You will have enough time to attend these appointments before surgery, so you can get ready for the hospital stay and post-operative treatment.

In order to improve our patients' chances of recovery, Integrity Spine & Orthopedics places a high priority on minimally invasive surgical methods. Comparing these methods to standard surgery, the tiny incisions assist reduce disruption to the surrounding soft tissues. Fewer scars and decreased blood loss are further benefits. We strongly advise you to consult your specialist for further details on how minimally invasive surgery might fit into your particular course of treatment.

Your primary care physician and any pertinent specialists may be asked for medical clearance before your anesthesiologist or doctor can administer anesthesia. This is to make sure you are well enough to have surgery and anesthetic performed safely. You will receive clearance forms when your operation is scheduled. Making doctor's appointments and making sure all required permissions are obtained are your responsibilities.

For Hospital Procedures

You will speak with a surgical services nurse at this appointment to discuss your medical history, go over pre-surgery instructions, and finish any tests that your doctor and anesthesiologist have prescribed. A urinalysis, an EKG, blood work, and other tests can be among them. Please bring the results and clearances from any previous testing your present physician(s) may have performed to the appointment. The tests have to be completed no later than 30 days before your procedure.
