Appointments with a physician and a nurse in the diagnosing of colon cancer

At the outpatient clinic appointment preceding your surgery, you will meet with the surgeon, who will review your examination results with you and provide more information on your treatment plan.

The purpose of the appointment with the anesthesiologist is to devise an anesthesia regime suitable for you, meaning the general anesthesia and pain management. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and we often also administer an epidural anesthetic to alleviate postoperative pain. The anesthesiologist will ensure that your state of health is sufficient in view of the operation and recovery. 

We will also discuss postoperative pain management at the appointment and select a pain rating scale to use for assessing pain after the operation. Because nutrition is of great importance for recovery from surgery, we will also assess the risk of your malnutrition at this point.
