Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You have to get routine pre anaesthetic check done before surgery.
This includes Chest X ray, EKG, Complete blood work up, Routine urine examination, fasting blood sugar, Bleeding time and clotting time, HIV and Hepatitis B tests. These are important tests which need to be done before a laproscopic surgery. An anesthetist will clinically examine you a day before your surgery.
