Who will actually do the operation?
Ask for the surgeon's name and qualifications, and whether the doctor you meet is the one who will operate.
Is a keyhole or laser option suitable?
For many common operations, laparoscopic or laser techniques mean less pain and a faster recovery. Ask whether they suit your case, and why if not.
What will it cost?
Ask for a written estimate and what it includes: surgeon and anaesthetist fees, room, medicines and follow-up. Ask whether your health insurance is accepted.
Who looks after me around the clock?
Check that an anaesthetist is involved in your surgery and that the hospital is staffed 24 hours if a problem arises after the operation.
What happens after discharge?
Ask who to call if you have a problem at home, when stitches or dressings are checked, and when the follow-up visit is.
