We at University Surgical Associates view patient information and education as an integral part of providing the best possible health care. To that end we make available to you an extensive resource of surgical illnesses and procedures to enable you to better understand and participate in your health care. In addition you will find information here concerning pre- and post-operative care that will help you become thoroughly prepared for surgical care you may require.
