A discussion of the proposed procedure, alternatives and recovery, so questions can be addressed before a decision.

A discussion of the proposed procedure, alternatives and recovery, so questions can be addressed before a decision.

Understand the aim

Ask what problem the operation addresses and which symptoms may change. Understand its scope as well as its name. Discuss future pregnancy and organ preservation. Expected benefit is not guaranteed, and limitations deserve explanation.

Discuss alternatives and risks

Ask whether observation, medicines or another approach are possible and what delaying a decision means. Discuss personal implications of risks such as bleeding, infection and anaesthesia. A published technique is not necessarily the best choice for everyone.

Clarify preparation instructions

Share medicines, allergies and earlier anaesthesia experiences. Fasting or medication instructions depend on the plan. Follow your individual instructions rather than applying general online advice. Clarify uncertainties with the care team before the procedure day.

Home support and review

Discuss work, household responsibilities and support beforehand. Know whom to contact after discharge and how reviews are arranged. Ask about pathology results where relevant. Another person’s recovery time is not a guaranteed schedule for you.

Consent, alternatives and discharge planning

Explain the exact procedure, its purpose, alternatives and likely course without surgery. Where relevant, discuss organ preservation, permanent material and possible conversion to open surgery.

Anaesthetic assessment, medicines, clot prevention, fasting and support at home need individual planning. Written discharge information should clarify warning symptoms, results and follow-up.

Common questions

Can I ask for time to decide?

For non-urgent decisions you can ask for time to review information and complete your questions.

AFTER YOUR CONSULTATION

Make your plan clear.

  • Describe how pressure or a bulge changes through the day.
  • Ask how observation, support devices and surgery differ for you.
  • Discuss an individual plan for daily activities and follow-up.

Follow-up, care and return to everyday activities depend on assessment and the approach chosen. Before leaving, clarify the next step and how to contact the clinic.

This information does not replace individual medical advice. Diagnosis and treatment require clinical assessment. For emergencies in Türkiye, call 112.

Pregnancy & birth

Pregnancy care follows maternal health and the baby’s development while creating space for questions and preferences. Appointments are planned around gestation and individual needs.

Gynaecological surgery

Surgical assessment begins with understanding why an operation may be considered and what other approaches exist. Decisions involve diagnosis, personal circumstances and expectations.
