What is a Perioperative Clinic?

A perioperative clinic is a specialized setting focused on the care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It aims to prepare patients for surgical procedures, manage their health conditions to reduce surgical risks, and facilitate recovery post-surgery. The goal of the clinic is to ensure that patients are in optimal health prior to surgery, that any underlying medical issues are addressed, and that they receive comprehensive care throughout the perioperative period, which spans from the decision for surgery, through the surgery itself, and during recovery. By integrating medical, surgical, and nursing expertise, perioperative clinics enhance surgical outcomes, reduce complications, and improve patient satisfaction.
