During Operation
The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia. This method allows these surgeries to be performed with very little pain in most patients.
Let your doctor know if you experience pain. Your doctor will apply local anesthetic drugs again.
Your surgeon will provide anesthesia support for the sedo-analgesia method (performing the operation with sedative and sleep-inducing drugs) when necessary. You do not need to be afraid or anxious about the operation.
Your vascular surgeon is experienced in these operations and will take your psychological state into consideration.
During the operation, an anesthesia technician will monitor your vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory status. He will also talk to you and try to divert your attention, helping you get away from the thought of pain.
Your surgeon will give you the necessary explanations throughout the operation.
Operation time usually between 45 minutes and 2 hours.
When the surgery is over, you will be dressed by your operating nurse and then you will be taken to your room on the ward.
