St. Vincent’s Private Hospital offer pre-op assessment to patients who are due to undergo orthopaedic joint replacement. Our aim is to roll out assessments across all major surgeries in the near future.
Pre-op assessment aims to have the patient as fit as possible for surgery by having their complete workup done as an outpatient, this means patients are less likely to have their surgery delayed or cancelled on the day, as any problems discovered at pre-op stage can be dealt with prior to admission.
