Question
I am having arthroscopic knee surgery on monday. I have been doing mesotherapy treatments for the past few weeks and am scheduled to go again on thursday. i wanted to know if this is something i should refrain from prior to surgery jsut as I have had to stop most of my daily medications and supplaments. The DR plans on using a local/twilight anesthesia. Because i will not meet the anesthesiologist till the day of the out-patient procedure I do not know how to find out what is best here.Thanks for any help
Hi there
This is not something I have come across in the UK before. However I have now researched a bit about mesotherapy and can see no reason why it should interfere with your operation - as long as the microinjections are no where near the knee that is to be operated on.
Kind regards
Dr Ian Jackson
