Preparing for your operation

Things to think about before your surgery:

Coming to Derriford Hospital for your Liver, Pancreatic or Biliary Surgery

Pre-operative Anaesthetic Assessment
All patients will have a pre-operative assessment visit. During this you will have the opportunity to talk to a nurse and an anaesthetist, have blood tests and possibly an exercise-based test to check for general fitness levels prior to the operation.
