Ambulatory Surgery Guide
On the Day of Your Surgery
Before coming in for surgery, please follow these guidelines:
- Please shower before coming to the hospital and dress in clean,
comfortable clothing that is easy to remove.
- Do not wear makeup or nail polish. The doctors and nurses must
be able to see your natural coloring during your surgery.
- Do not wear any jewelry and do not bring other valuables with
you. If you have body-piercing jewelry, you must remove it before
you come to the hospital.
- Please bring eyeglasses if you require them because we will
ask you to read a few documents.
- Please bring hearing aids if you require them.
- If you are unable to keep your appointment or are going to be
late, please contact the ambulatory surgery department at 401-845-1455
after 6 a.m.
When you are at the hospital you will be asked to remove
your dentures, partial plates, contact lenses and any prostheses
before surgery.
All minors must be accompanied to the hospital by a parent or guardian,
who must remain in the ambulatory surgery area during the child's
surgery.
