These requirements are part of updated national guidelines designed to support patient safety, ensure informed decision-making, and provide adequate time for patients to fully understand their procedure, risks, and alternatives.
This process helps patients make well-considered choices and ensures that surgery is undertaken only when it is appropriate and in the patient’s best interests.
Disclaimer: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks and results vary significantly from patient to patient depending on many factors including patient lifestyle, anatomy, health, weight, nutrition etc.
