Ventral and Umbilical hernia - What to expect when you get to facility

Dr. Michael Reinhorn, a surgeon at Boston Hernia, explains what to expect on the day of surgery for a ventral or umbilical hernia repair. The surgery can be done either open or laparoscopic, and the day of surgery is similar regardless of the method. Here are some things to keep in mind: Arrive early: Plan to arrive at the facility about an hour or an hour and a half before surgery. Wear loose clothing: This will make it easier for the surgical team to prepare you for surgery. Bring a support person: Having someone with you can help you feel more comfortable and answer any questions you may have. Fasting: You will need to fast before surgery, which means no food or drink after midnight. IV: You will have an IV placed in your arm to give you antibiotics and sedative medication. Meet the team: You will meet with the surgical team, anesthesia team, and nurse anesthetist. Dr. Reinhorn emphasizes the importance of following the facility's instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and safe surgery.
