This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, reverse, or manage surgical pain, post-operative complications, infection, bleeding, wound healing, anesthesia effects, inflammation, or any medical condition. The surgeon, anesthesiology team, nursing team, discharge instructions, prescribed medication plan, and emergency guidance remain primary at all times.
