A thorough and accurate diagnosis is pivotal before applying for or undergoing any treatment, as it forms the foundation for any subsequent therapeutic decisions and planning. Here’s a detailed look at the modified pre-operative assessment section:
1. Importance of Precise Diagnosis:
Before applying for a treatment, it is imperative for patients to have been adequately diagnosed by healthcare professionals, ideally by a neurologist or a neurosurgeon, based on symptoms, medical history, and preliminary tests. This ensures that the proposed treatment aligns with the patient’s medical condition and needs.
2. Conducting Pre-operative Tests at Partner Facilities:
While we can certainly facilitate pre-operative assessments and tests at our partner facilities, it is important for patients to be aware that this entails additional costs. Moreover, the results of these diagnostic evaluations may sometimes reveal a different medical condition or severity than initially perceived, potentially altering the recommended treatment pathway and expectations.
3. Detailed Assessments:
Once a precise diagnosis is established, a series of comprehensive pre-operative assessments, including advanced imaging, laboratory tests, specialist consultations, and functional evaluations, are conducted to optimize surgical planning and patient preparation.
4. Informational Transparency:
We emphasize the importance of detailed counseling and informed consent, ensuring that patients are fully aware of the procedure, risks, benefits, postoperative care, and potential outcomes.
