Penile Implants in Turkey

Here is the full rundown of what the process of a surgical procedure (penile implants) might involve, day by day:

*Day 1:*

*Pre-op consultation:* The patient meets with the surgeon and anesthesiologist to discuss the surgical procedure, review the patient’s medical history, and answer any questions.
Pre-admission testing: The patient undergoes any necessary testing, such as blood work or an electrocardiogram (ECG), to ensure that they are healthy enough for surgery.
Pre-op instructions: The patient receives instructions on how to prepare for surgery, such as what to bring to the hospital, how to fast before the procedure, and what medications to take or avoid.

*Pre-op consultation*, also known as a pre-operative consultation or pre-surgery consultation is a meeting between a patient and a healthcare provider, typically a surgeon or anesthesiologist, to discuss and prepare for a surgical procedure. During the pre-op consultation, the healthcare provider will review the patient’s medical history, current medications, allergies, and any other relevant information to ensure that the patient is healthy enough for surgery and to minimize any potential complications. The healthcare provider will also explain the details of the surgical procedure, including the risks and benefits, and answer any questions the patient may have. The pre-op consultation is an important step in the surgical process and helps to ensure that the patient is fully informed and prepared for the procedure.*
