Full transcript
Thank you for coming in, Ms. Nguyen. Before your reconstruction surgery on Thursday at Royal North Shore Hospital, let's go through your pre-operative checklist together.
Dạ vâng, cảm ơn cô. Em hơi lo vì đây là lần đầu em phẫu thuật lớn như vậy, cô có thể giải thích rõ hơn không ạ?
You'll need to sign this consent form today, confirming you understand the risks. After surgery, two drains will be placed near the incision site.
Dạ, vậy khi nào tháo ống dẫn lưu thì em phải quay lại bệnh viện hay có thể đến phòng khám gần nhà được không ạ?
You won't need to return to the hospital; the drains are usually removed at your local GP clinic within seven to ten days.
Dạ, em hiểu rồi, cảm ơn cô. Còn về việc hút thuốc thì sao ạ, em có cần ngừng trước khi mổ không?
Yes, you must stop smoking completely at least four weeks before surgery, as it significantly increases the risk of poor wound healing.
Dạ, em sẽ cố gắng bỏ thuốc lá hoàn toàn. Sau mổ em có được uống thuốc giảm đau không, và uống trong bao lâu ạ?
You'll receive pain relief tablets, up to four times daily for the first week, then reduce gradually as your pain subsides afterward.
Dạ được, em hiểu rồi. Vậy sau khi tháo ống dẫn lưu em có cần tái khám lại ở bệnh viện không ạ?
Yes, you'll have a follow-up appointment at the hospital two weeks after surgery, unless you notice fever, swelling, or unusual discharge sooner.
Dạ, em cảm ơn cô rất nhiều vì đã giải thích rõ ràng. Em sẽ làm theo đúng hướng dẫn.
