Your operation, explained clearly.

The Guides

Three guides, one for each stage.

Each stands on its own. Read the one that matches where you are: considering or preparing for an operation, or recovering from one.

The guides exist because surgical information given once, in a consultation room, has a short half-life. Patients remember the decision; the details — which spray to stop, when the splint comes off, what counts as too much bleeding — belong somewhere they can be re-read at midnight. Each guide walks one operation from decision to recovery in the order events actually happen, and the post-operative page repeats the aftercare instructions on their own, for the days when that is all you need. They are education, not advice: your surgeon’s specific instructions always come first. Alongside them, two practical pages answer the questions that surround an operation rather than the operation itself: what OHIP insures and what it does not, and how long things take, with the practice’s dated ranges.

These guides are general patient education. The instructions provided directly by Dr. Khetani and his care team for your individual treatment take priority over anything on these pages.
