Seek emergency care for severe or worsening abdominal pain, uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing, fainting, or signs of shock. Routine procedures should be scheduled through a surgeon or primary-care referral.
Minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments rather than one large incision. Whether it is appropriate depends on the procedure, medical history, and the surgeon's assessment.
Ask about the surgeon's relevant board certification, alternatives to surgery, expected recovery, complication risks, facility location, and whether insurance authorization or a referral is required.
