Day of Surgery

You will arrive to the hospital and be taken to Surgical Preop suite where a nurse will place an IV and confirm the planned procedure.  Dr. Neef will meet you there to answer any last minute questions and then you will be taken to the operating room where anesthesia will be given through your IV and you will go to sleep.  Dr. Neef will perform your Essure reversal, tubal reversal or Hysterectomy procedure and you will wake up in the PACU.  The nursing staff will monitor your recovery and provide pain control as needed.  Once you have been stabilized, you will be either discharged home or taken to the Women’s Service unit for observation.  A prescription for pain medicine after your robotic surgery will be sent to your pharmacy electronically upon discharge.
