Hello, generally speaking, the preoperative tests required depend on the specific surgical site. Preoperative examinations fall into two main categories: first, essential diagnostic tests to confirm the underlying disease; and second, necessary safety assessments to ensure surgical safety. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
