Any medical or surgical advice provided through the MCAN Health website, e-mail documents, any messages are accurate to the best of MCAN Health’s knowledge.

You will have a certain number of controls after your surgery. One will be at the hospital and the other will be before you will return to your country. Your after-care instructions will be provided to you by your surgeon.
