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.

The safety of our patients is our top priority, particularly during the era of the COVID-19 virus. See our visiting guidelines before coming for your appointment.

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.

Screening for COVID-19 symptoms when arriving at Hospital

When you arrive at the Hospital, you will be asked a few screening questions before you are allowed to enter. Questions will focus on your current health and any recent travel history.

If you pass the screening, you will be asked to wear a mask and to sanitize your hands.

If you fail the screening, you will be unable to enter. Please call your physician to reschedule your surgery.

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.

 

Having visitors

Due to COVID-19, BGH is limiting patient visitors coming into the hospital. See out current visiting guidelines to learn more.

Visiting times are being done by appointment. To reserve a visiting slot, speak with your healthcare team.

If you’re staying overnight, check to see what you need to bring to the hospital.

Escorts for patients coming in for a procedure may be allowed in situations where the patient requires assistance.
