Conditions Explained

Underlying risk indicators include chest pain or breathlessness (cardiac disease), uncontrolled blood sugar or slow wound healing (diabetes), reduced exercise tolerance, multiple prior surgeries, or existing use of blood thinners or multiple medications.
Thorough pre-anaesthetic evaluation, close multidisciplinary coordination with treating specialists, and meticulous intraoperative monitoring tailored to each patient's specific risk profile.
