Calf Implant Surgery Preparation
It is considered you are in surgery from the moment you arrive to the surgical area until the moment you have sufficiently recovered from anesthesia. Before surgery, your surgeon, anesthesiologist and the nursing staff will meet you in the pre-operative area to discuss your medical condition and answer any question.
The anesthesia
What kind of anesthesia is used for calf implant surgery?
Calf implant surgery is performed under epidural or peridural anesthesia. You will sleep through the entire operation, feeling no pain and remaining absolutely relaxed.
The section about Anesthesia provides complete information on this medical practice along with recommendations and instructions. Your surgery will indicate the type of anesthesia to be used during your procedure.
How long does calf implant surgery take?
This procedure may take 2-3 hours
Hospitalization
Will I require hospitalization?
Usually this procedure does not require hospitalization. However, your surgeon may recommend a short hospital stay.
