For more complicated surgical procedures we will refer you to local specialty surgeons.

Mandatory pre-anesthetic testing to ensure there is no underlying disease that could cause complications.

Anesthetic monitoring including: ECG, blood pressure, ETCO2, SPO2, heart rate, respiration, temperature)
