Surgical Program

Show or hide navigation More

surgical suite

Brockville General Hospital’s health care team provides safe and skilled surgery. Our Surgical Program ensures that you receive the care that you need.

Before your surgery

Make sure that you follow any instructions that your doctor gave you. The night before your surgery, you should not eat or drink after midnight. You can bathe or shower beforehand but do not apply any cosmetics, nail polish, fragrances or deodorants before coming to the hospital. Do not wear your contact lenses as they may get lost or dry out and irritate your eyes

 

Pre-operative assessments

You may have a pre-operative assessment at one of our clinics for tests, admission information and instructions. Our healthcare team will provide you with important information to help you prepare for your surgery, recovery and to discharge you safely from our hospital.

You must follow any procedures and complete any testing required to ensure your safety and to prevent any delays. These procedures allow us to identify and stop any problems before your surgery.

Bring your health card and your medication

Bring your Ontario Health Card and any medications that you take on a daily basis. Confirm with your doctor before you take any medications, even if they’re over-the-counter, on the day of your surgery.

Day of your surgery

On the day of your surgery, it’s important that you have your health card, bring your medication, and leave any valuables at home. Please remember you are responsible for informing your family and friends that you are staying in the hospital.

Leave your valuables at home

Leave any valuables at home, including your jewelry, large amounts of money and credit cards. You can bring a small amount of money for small expenses like parking.

After your surgery

Make sure that you’ve discussed what to expect after your surgery and your limitations with your doctor.

You should know and be familiar with:

  • What you can eat;
  • Your medication;
  • Activity level and any exercises you need to do; and
  • Whom to contact if you have any difficulty.
