Combining procedures: when it’s safe and when it isn’t

One trip and one recovery is tempting. We combine procedures only within limits that keep you safe.

The risk of surgery grows with its length. That is the main limit on combining procedures, more than the number of areas.

Our limits

We keep combined surgeries under six hours, use two surgeons when it shortens time and keep you one night in clinic after.

When the combination would take longer than that, we plan two trips.

General information, not medical advice. Ask your surgeon about your own case.

Thirty minutes with your surgeon from home. You get a written quote and dates, whether or not you go ahead.
