You will receive specific instructions for medications during your pre-operative visit. You will be asked to stop taking aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications before surgery. Your medication instructions will be included in your after-visit summary (AVS) given to you at the end of your pre-test visit. A list of medications and substances to stop before surgery is provided here. Our anesthesiology staff will review this with you. Some things to keep in mind:
