Pre-operative Testing

Many patients are required to undergo certain tests prior to surgery. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions regarding which tests are necessary. Common tests may include:

Laboratory work (within four weeks of your surgery date)
EKG (within three months)
Chest X-ray (within six months)

Please have all test results faxed to Red Rock Surgery Center at 702-227-5849 prior to your surgery date.

Diet

To ensure the safety and success of your surgery, please follow these dietary guidelines:

Night before surgery: Do not eat anything after 9 p.m. and do not drink anything after midnight.
If your surgery is scheduled for 1 p.m. or later, you may have ONE cup (8 oz.) of water before 8 a.m.
The evening before surgery: Have a light dinner and avoid alcohol intake.
Cessation of smoking: It is beneficial to stop smoking at least 24 hours before surgery for optimal recovery.

Preparing for Surgery

Please arrive at the center at least one hour prior to your scheduled surgery time unless instructed otherwise. Stay by a phone where you can be reached the day of surgery. Remember to bring any orders from your doctor, X-rays, or other relevant documents.

Consent form: A consent form will need to be signed upon arrival. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the consent.
Family members: Due to space limitations, we ask that only one family member or friend accompany you. Please leave young children and siblings at home.
Dress Code: Wear comfortable, loose clothing and low-heeled shoes. Remove any contact lenses and bring a case for storage. All jewelry must be removed, including body jewelry.

Time of Stay

After your surgery, you will remain in the post-anesthesia care unit for at least one hour, though additional time may be required. A responsible adult must be available to drive you home approximately one hour after surgery. We will validate parking for your convenience.

Drive home: You will not be allowed to drive after the procedure unless you have had no sedation (for minor laser surgeries).
Responsible adult: You must have a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours post-surgery.

Post-op Restrictions

First 24 hours: Plan for a responsible adult to stay with you. You may feel dizzy or drowsy, and you should avoid driving or drinking alcohol for the rest of the day.
Post-operative instructions: You will receive specific instructions from your doctor before leaving the center. Follow these instructions carefully.
Follow-up call: A nurse from Red Rock Surgery Center will call you at home to check on your condition.

If you have an emergency, do not wait for the nurse to call you. Dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Limit activities: Take it easy for a few days after surgery. Consult with your doctor before returning to work or resuming normal activities.
