Abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair

"Abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair"

About: Wythenshawe Hospital / Vascular surgery

I have recently had an abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair.

Although I was very nervous, I was treated at all times with care and consideration. My wife was kept informed throughout the operation and subsequent recovery. The surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, admin staff, and the cleaners were pleasant and made my stay bearable.I would like to thankWardA2 for allowing my wife to visit early on the morning of my operation which helped me a lot. I would like to thank the staff of ICU for their great care and respect and Ward A1 for my subsequent recovery and discharge. I had not anticipated that I would be home after little more than a week. I continue to recover at home. Without the knowledge and dedication of the surgeon and the other members of the vascular team, I may have had a completely different outcome.
