About this booklet
This booklet explains what happens when you go to hospital for surgery. You can learn about what happens before and during an operation. There is also information about recovery after surgery and possible side effects.
If you are worried about your health, you should talk to a doctor or nurse.
We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
