The Risks of Overextending Surgical Procedures

Body Contouring with Dr Bernard Beldholm

In this episode, I want to address a critical concern for patients undergoing surgery: the potential complications that can arise from scheduling multiple procedures in one sitting. Patients may not realise that when a surgical team is tasked with performing too many operations consecutively, it can lead to a heightened risk of mistakes, longer recovery times, and increased stress on the body. I'll share anecdotes from my experiences in the operating room, discuss the effects of cognitive overload on surgical teams, and provide insights on why it's crucial for patients to advocate for a careful and deliberate approach to their surgical care. By understanding the implications of overextending surgical sessions, patients can better navigate their treatment options and prioritise their health and safety.
