Prepration of Surgery

Preparation for Liver Treatment Surgery – A Comprehensive Guide 🏥✨

Liver treatment, whether medical, minimally invasive, or surgical, requires thorough preparation to ensure a successful outcome and smooth recovery. From medical evaluations to lifestyle adjustments, every step is crucial in improving liver function and reducing complications.

This guide provides detailed pre-surgery preparation steps for patients undergoing liver treatment, ensuring they are well-informed and ready for the procedure.

🔹 Pre-Surgery Preparation Steps 🏥

1️⃣ Medical Evaluation & Diagnostic Tests 🩺

Before undergoing liver treatment, a series of medical evaluations are required to assess the severity of liver disease and overall health.

✅ Comprehensive Blood Tests:

• Liver function tests (LFT) to check enzyme levels
• Complete blood count (CBC) to assess immunity and clotting ability
• Kidney function tests to rule out additional complications
• Viral markers for Hepatitis B & C
• Blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels

✅ Imaging Tests:

• Ultrasound Scan (USG) – Provides a basic assessment of liver condition
• CT Scan or MRI – Gives detailed images of liver damage, tumors, or cirrhosis
• Fibroscan – Measures liver stiffness to determine fibrosis level
• PET Scan (if required) – To check for cancerous growth in the liver

✅ Liver Biopsy (if needed):

• A small tissue sample is taken to examine under a microscope for cirrhosis, fibrosis, or cancer.

✅ Cardiac & Pulmonary Function Tests:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram to check heart health
• Pulmonary function test to ensure lungs can tolerate surgery

2️⃣ Lifestyle Adjustments Before Surgery 💪

Making healthy lifestyle changes before surgery enhances liver function and reduces complications.

✅ Avoid Alcohol & Smoking 🚭

• Alcohol damages liver cells and can interfere with anesthesia.
• Smoking increases post-surgical complications, especially in healing.

✅ Follow a Liver-Friendly Diet 🥗

• High-protein foods (eggs, fish, dairy) to support tissue repair.
• Fiber-rich foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains) to aid digestion.
• Avoid fatty, fried, and processed foods that stress the liver.

✅ Stay Hydrated 💧

• Drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily to maintain liver detoxification.

✅ Exercise Moderately 🏃‍♂️

• Light walking or yoga helps in blood circulation and boosts immunity.
• Avoid heavy workouts as they may strain the liver.

✅ Manage Chronic Conditions ⚕

• Control diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol levels before surgery.

3️⃣ Medications & Vaccinations Before Surgery 💊

Certain medications must be adjusted before liver treatment to ensure a safer procedure.

✅ Stop Blood Thinners & NSAIDs

• Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Warfarin should be stopped 5-7 days before surgery to prevent excessive bleeding.

✅ Liver Support Medications

• Some patients require liver protectors like Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to strengthen liver function before surgery.

✅ Hepatitis Vaccinations 💉

• Hepatitis B & C vaccinations are recommended before surgery to reduce the risk of infections.

4️⃣ Pre-Surgery Instructions & Hospital Preparation 📋

Before the scheduled surgery or procedure, hospitals provide specific instructions that must be followed carefully.

✅ Fasting Before Surgery ⏳

• No food or drinks 6-12 hours before surgery to prevent anesthesia complications.

✅ Arranging a Caregiver 🏥

• A friend or family member should accompany the patient during hospitalization and recovery.

✅ Packing for Hospital Stay 🎒

• Medical reports & prescriptions
• Comfortable loose clothing
• Personal hygiene items (toothbrush, soap, etc.)
• ID proof & insurance documents (if applicable)

✅ Confirm Travel & Accommodation ✈️

• International patients should finalize visa, flight, and lodging arrangements before arrival.
• MediKaya Healthcare assists with all travel and stay arrangements.
