This minimizes the risk of injury. Sometimes these medications cause slight bleeding before the operation. Possible complications during every operation can be bleeding, infections and injuries. After the operation, we therefore check the amount of bleeding before the operation is finished. As an infection prophylaxis you will receive antibiotics.
