Procedures

Preparation for Optilume urethral dilatation

  • Cystoscopy of the urethra is performed prior to surgery to allow or confirm the diagnosis of stenosis of the urethra.
  • Perineal ultrasound is necessary (radiological examination by injection of contrast medium into the urethra).
  • Urethrography can also be proposed to evaluate the size of the stenosis and its length.
  • A urine test is performed before the procedure to check for sterility or treat a possible infection.
  • Anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications should usually be stopped a few days before surgery.
  • Aspirin treatment can sometimes be continued at a low dose.
  • In prevention of an infection, it is possible to receive a dose of antibiotic at the beginning of the intervention.
  • The patient must be accompanied as there will be preoperative sedation.

    Dr. Marois is a urologist who is not a member of the Régie d’Assurance Maladie du Québec (RAMQ). As such, the clinic can not claim the RAMQ for the payment of his services. If you consult Dr Marois, you must pay for the services rendered.

    Cancellation of appointment:

    To ensure the smooth running of the clinic and a minimum of courtesy towards other patients and our staff, we ask you to notify us 48 hours in advance for the cancellation of a consultation, 5 working days in advance for a surgery at the office and 21 working days in advance for a major surgery. If these deadlines are not respected, a cancellation fee of 50% of the service will be charged.

    Change of appointment:

    We understand that events occur, so we ask you to provide us with at least a 24-hour notice for any change in their appointment; we will be happy to accommodate you, the best we can. However, if you fail to inform us within this timeframe or do not show up, we will charge a $ 100 fee.

    Thank you for your understanding.
