If my surgery is cancelled, will I need to have more appointments and tests prior to the surgery?
You may need to have another appointment to see the anaesthetist, depending on the type of surgery you are having, and the length of time before your new surgery date. Tests will be repeated if more than three (3) months has elapsed since the last tests were completed. If you need to have a special blood test for bloods group and screen or cross match, this will need to be repeated within 3-5 days of the new surgery date.
