Surgery Patient Education (Spine Class Video)

In order to fully prepare you for your hospital stay, we have outlined a number of steps you can take before and after your surgery, in addition to informing you about what to expect during your stay here at the hospital. As always, if you have any questions about these instructions, or any other aspect of your care, don't hesitate to call your doctor or the staff at the Institute.
