Answer:

Patients will be advised of all of the risks associated with the surgery, including but not limited to bleeding, possible complications i.e. injury to other organs etc., and problems associated with anesthesia. In addition, patients will be educated as to what to expect after the surgery, what to look for if they are going home, and what follow-up appointments they will need. The doctor will inform you of what is expected if you are staying in the hospital and what you can expect from your hospital stay
