- In this educational video presented by Dartmouth Health, viewers are guided through the process and expectations surrounding surgery, specifically focusing on the days leading up to and following a surgical procedure. The video begins with a calming tone, setting a reassuring atmosphere for viewers who may be feeling anxious about their upcoming surgery.
The video outlines the pre-surgical preparations, including a nurse's pre-operative call to inform patients of their surgery schedule and instructions for checking in at the outpatient surgery center. It emphasizes the importance of arriving at the assigned time and provides a map of the Dartmouth Health campus in Lebanon for easy navigation.
Patients are advised on what to bring and what to leave at home, such as jewelry and other personal items. The video details the process of checking into the hospital, including the removal of jewelry, dentures, contact lenses, and other personal items, and the necessity of changing into a hospital gown.
The medical procedures are explained in a clear and concise manner. This includes the placement of an IV, discussions with the surgeon and anesthesiologist about anesthesia options, and the surgical process itself. The video also covers post-operative care, emphasizing the importance of pain management, physical therapy, and exercises to aid in recovery.
Special attention is given to the prevention of blood clots, a crucial aspect of postoperative care. The video advises on exercises, medication, and lifestyle adjustments to minimize the risk of clots. It also addresses common post-surgery questions regarding eating, hospital discharge, and follow-up care.
Overall, the video serves as a comprehensive guide for patients undergoing surgery at Dartmouth Health, providing valuable information to alleviate concerns and prepare them for a smooth surgical experience and recovery.

First i have to have a mri then i will wait to hear from dr. Sheehan to see if need surgery
I got mine 4 days ago. After the surgery I was like “huh, it’s done?” But when I got home I was Ok walking with crutches because the nerve blocks were there. But once it wore off, the day after is the worst pain I’ve felt. I felt like chopping my knee off. 2nd day after it was a some pain but a lot of discomfort. Right now it’s not too bad. There’s only a little discomfort under the knee and that’s it so far. And I’m 16 soon 17✌️😗
I hope you are doing good now. And I hope you get some noodles.

@@boonecragun7717 It was a pretty slow recovery but I can pretty much do everything again after 10 months
@@jae4687 how long till u were able to walk
@@sdajsiedj21 I was on crutches for about 6 weeks but after 2 weeks I was allowed to lightly put pressure on the leg. But some doctors will let you walk w/ crutches like 2 days after
Doctors hospital in Modesto sucks they didn’t even really take care of me after they didn’t want to give me pain medicine it was bad
I was due to get ACL surgery back in April however due to the COVID-19 outbreak my surgery was put on hold.
Hi there! I have no knowledge about these things and I am very curious so I would really appreciate it if you could walk me through what happens after tearing your acl. Will you be able to walk normally, like, IMMEDIATELY after tearing your acl or would it be difficult?
Kathy McMurray same
Mine was torn via falling on a trampoline back in October this past year during a work picnic. At the ER they did an Xray and thought it was torn miniques (I know I spelled that wrong). I went to an ortho doctor. He diagnosed me with an ACL. He tells me just to do PT and a Brace it should help. I was still in pain and I actually collapsed on my steps on Christmas Eve but I shrugged it off. Fast forward to February I'm at work still having pain in my knee can't go two hours having to sit. I decide on going to get a second opinion after a month of debating. My friend gives me a name of a doctor her and people in her family have went to. He sees me orders an MRI (which the first doctor never gave me) turns out the ligament never healed. That was due to have surgery. Then my second date was actually yesterday but it got moved back again because my state is still under Stay at Home order. Hopefully I can get the surgery soon.
@@scottie666 I believe it depends on whether the tear is partial or if it is a complete ACL tear, for the most part from what I've heard and personally experienced, you can walk with a torn ACL but there is a higher chance of reinjury and tearing of other things like the meniscus for example due to instability. I was able to walk normally after a complete tear about a week after my initial injury but for the first week it was a lot of swelling and limping. Hope this helps.
Ditto. Was supposed to be in August but probably won’t be until next year.
They will ask you the same questions over and over
I have had 2 knee braces locked at 0 bending movement
For how long did you have the brace that way?and where you doing therapy then putting the brace back on...or did you start therapy once the brace was permanently off?
Im gonna have my surgery in 3 weeks
Full ACL tear and meniscus: Is it safe to take of the brace and outer bandage wrap the day after surgery it feels like it’s wrapped so tightly and no blood flow and my foot is cold, it’s all tingly/numb and painful for sure feels all bruised in there. Pain killers don’t seem to be helping a ton only when I was in a deeper sleep this morning from the 1st day the pain is worse day 2 but these bandages are killing me. The ice machine doesn’t seem like it’s doing it’s job either because the bandage wrap and brace is so thick for it to get cold in my knee? Help any advice this sucks!
Going through the same thing I’m so annoyed
did you have a fix?
did you have a fix?
What was that about a catheter?
Klay Thompson should watch this video
I’m so nervous about my surgery in a few days 😰

@@matchapatissiere5146 I'm from Pakistan ...so i had ACL in Karachi's private hospital
Now 11months completed but i still can't bend my knee
@@aqsaraees8638 how are you now ?
I have had surgeries done in omaha
Oh boy, I’m getting complete reconstruction and I reeeeeeeally don’t want a catheter!!
I just had my second operation of ACL and they never mentioned that while I talked to everyone one of them doctors not even my first ACL surgery (strange). I assume if they mention it its ONLY gonna be used for surgery, you won't feel a thing since the anesthesia will have you passed out the whole time. I wouldn't think about it to much my friend, you won't feel anything I promise. Safe recovery!
I got acl surgery yesterday. Today sucks lol. They never told me about a catheter either. But I knew I'd get one. Kinda standard if surgery is over an hr.
I am getting surgery in 3weeks and I am so scared I hope they put the catheter in when I am asleep
@@TherealDB04 I didn’t get one at all when I had my operation! Hope you don’t have to :)
In Europe, you do not get any catheter. I just had my ACL reconstruction + meniscus surgery 4 days ago.
Wait wtf why do they put a tube in your bladder??? Does it hurt?
So your not peeing on your self during surgery ig lol , you want feel it cause your asleep
I just had a partial hysterectomy last thurs and my recovery is slow and painful
Kelley Kaplan I had a partial done my self and the pain was horrible. Hope you’re doing better.
I have a partial ACL tear and thinking of getting it reconstructed so that I can play football again. But I am scared af. I have had surgeries earlier but this shit is still scary
I tore my acl and meniscus about 2 months ago and i just got surgery on decemember 9th 2020 and i swear i was so terrified but litterally it goes by do quickly i promise Its nothing to sorry about
@@paiigelaurenn my acl tear went from partial to complete 2 weeks back + i got a meniscus tear. Surgery is this monday. Hoping for the best!
@@adityabajaj2387 how has ur recovery been
@@sdajsiedj21 its actually great. I was regular with my physio until last month, before everything was shut down in my country due to covid. There is some weakness and loss of muscle, but I believe I can regain it once I start hitting the gym after the lockdown. I do feel some very very minor discomfort once a while but thats fine i guess since i am still recovering. Other than that, i feel great. Sometimes I even forget i had a painful surgery just 3 months back. Its that good. The pain is worth it
@@adityabajaj2387 how are you doing now friend?
Can anyone suggest me?partial acl rupture ,operation is good decision or not?I am scared.
Ive had ACL operations and im currently in the process of my second one. I would say its worth it in the sense of having range of motion back. A operation helps alot to no longer fear of what you cant do with your leg. Not operating ACL prevents alot of daily activities like climbing, hiking, swimming, sports etc to be uncomfortable/not possible doing. I decided to do surgery for that reason, to not be restricted from any activity or task for my future. If you do decide to do it just know that there will need to be someone to help you for at least 2 weeks since you'll mostly be in bed those times. Hope this helped in a way!
@@alexissalinas2469 thank you it helped me. I tore my acl and I'm scared of the surgery
@@davianaestrada8339 No problem! Im currently 4 months in my second surgery. All is going well! You got this, the surgery you won't feel a thing they're going to make you fall asleep and when you wake up youll just notice your injured leg wrapped up and braced! Stay strong! You got this! Wish you nothing but the best!
@@alexissalinas2469 thank you! I appreciate it! Wishing you an easy recovery as well :)
Im seven months out of acl reconstruction and everybody gets those nerves!!! It will be so relaxing once you get it over with!!
Not going to lie I have never had any alcohol in my life and when they gave me the medicine to kind of numb me I thought the ceiling was melting
General anesthesia is better
Colonel Sanders is better.

@@shubhamwrecker9436 how did it go? mine ended up getting canceled three times because they found out i needed heart surgery before my acl surgery and so i got the acl surgery 2 months ago
