Patient information
"What happens after?" is the most common question once a decision to operate is made. The pages in this section explain what to expect from the first days to the first year after common operations, what to look out for, and which symptoms mean you should call without waiting.
Instruction pages
What these pages do not cover
This page is a general guide. Your surgeon's own instructions take precedence; your medication, the day your splint or stitches come out, how long before you return to work, and your follow-up dates are planned for you individually and may differ from this page.
Medication names and doses are not written on these pages. Your own prescription and how to take it are set individually; follow your own prescription.
Frequently asked questions
Can I print these pages?
Yes. The pages are built for printing: the menu and buttons are left off the page, and your surgeon's name, address and phone number are printed at the top. Just use Print from your browser.
Is there a page for preparing before surgery?
Preparation steps are on the /en/patient-journey/ page. Once a decision to operate is made, fasting time, which medicines to stop and your arrival time are discussed separately.
