Following your specialist's fasting and medication guidelines is essential to ensure the success of your ENT surgery. Typically, you will be required to fast for six to eight hours before the procedure to minimise potential complications during anaesthesia. It is crucial to inform your specialist of any medications you are taking, as some may interact with anaesthesia or increase the risk of bleeding. Your specialist may advise you to temporarily stop taking certain medicines before the surgery. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask our ENT specialist for further advice.
