About this service
Understanding this service
An operation theatre is a controlled clinical environment for surgical procedures. Each procedure requires an appropriate surgeon, anaesthesia plan, equipment and postoperative arrangements.
When it may be needed
Different operations require different preparation and theatre arrangements. Whether a procedure can be performed is determined after assessment by the surgical team.
Before visiting
Bring investigation results and a complete medication list, especially anticoagulants or diabetes medicines. Follow the surgeon's fasting and admission instructions.
