Frequently Asked Questions
What does a urologic anesthesiologist do differently from a general anesthesiologist?
A urologic anesthesiologist has in-depth familiarity with the specific demands of urological procedures, such as fluid absorption risks during endoscopic surgery and positioning-related considerations. Dr. Romero uses this focused expertise to create anesthetic plans that address those unique challenges directly. This level of specialization can improve both safety and recovery outcomes for urological patients.
Will I be fully asleep for my urological procedure, or are other options available?
The type of anesthesia depends on the specific procedure, your overall health, and surgical requirements. Some urological surgeries are well-suited to regional anesthesia such as spinal blocks, while others require general anesthesia. Dr. Romero will review your medical history and discuss the most appropriate approach with you before your procedure.
How do I prepare for anesthesia before urological surgery?
Preparation typically includes fasting for a set number of hours before surgery and disclosing all current medications, supplements, and allergies. Dr. Romero or her team will provide specific pre-operative instructions tailored to your procedure. Following those instructions carefully helps reduce risk and supports a smoother recovery.
What should I expect during recovery from anesthesia after a urological procedure?
Most patients experience some grogginess, mild nausea, or temporary disorientation as anesthesia wears off. These effects are typically short-lived and managed in a monitored recovery area. Dr. Romero works to select agents and dosages that minimize side effects and support a comfortable transition out of sedation.
Does Dr. Romero see patients for pre-operative consultations in Lexington?
Yes, pre-operative anesthesia consultations are a standard part of surgical preparation for many urological procedures. These appointments allow Dr. Romero to review your health history, assess any anesthetic risks, and answer your questions before the day of surgery. Contact her office in Lexington, KY to schedule a consultation.
