- Abstract:
The article looks at innovations in medical procedures related to preparing to have surgery, as of 2012. It says research has shown that delaying surgery in order to take steps such as quitting smoking, getting blood sugar levels down, or improving fitness can reduce the likelihood of post-operative complications. The Strong for Surgery program and its medical director, surgeon Thomas Varghese, are cited.
