Post-Operative Consults
Post-Operative Consults
A post-operative telemedicine consult lets you check in on your recovery after day surgery procedure, without the trip to the clinic.
What Is a Post-Operative Telemedicine Consult?
A post-op telemedicine consult is a video follow-up with Dr Lim after a day surgery —laparoscopic procedure, hysteroscopy, or other gynaecological operation. We review how your recovery is progressing, answer your questions, and confirm your next steps, all from wherever is most comfortable for you.
Why Choose a Telemedicine Post-Op Consult
Recover with less disruption
Skip the travel while you're still healing.
Timely reassurance
Get your questions answered promptly rather than waiting for the next in-clinic slot.
Continuity
Follow up with the doctor who performed or oversaw your procedure, not an unfamiliar clinician.
A calmer setting
Discuss your recovery from home, without the logistics of a clinic visit.
What We'll Cover
How your wound is healing, based on what you can show us and describe
Your pain levels and how well your current pain management is working
Activity and lifting restrictions, and when these can ease
Signs of infection or complications to watch for at home
A realistic timeline for returning to normal activities, driving, or exercise
Any follow-up test results, where relevant
Who Should Book This
Anyone recovering from a laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopy, or other gynaecological procedure, typically around your scheduled follow-up interval — often one to two weeks after surgery, or as advised by Dr Lim.
What to Expect During Your Video Consultation
A confirmed appointment time, with a secure video link sent ahead of your consult.
A private conversation with Dr Lim about your recovery and any concerns.
The chance to show your wound on camera, in good lighting, if relevant.
Clear guidance on what’s normal, what to watch for, and whether an in-person check is needed.
Is This Right for You?
Telemedicine suits routine post-op check-ins where no physical wound examination or procedure — like suture or staple removal — is required. If you have signs of a possible complication, an in-person assessment is the safer route, and your doctor will arrange this for you.
When to skip telemedicine and seek immediate care Telemedicine is not suitable for emergencies. Call 995 or go to your nearest A&E immediately if you experience:
Heavy or worsening bleeding
Severe or rapidly worsening pain
High fever with chills
A wound with spreading redness, swelling, or discharge, or one that has opened
Chest pain, difficulty breathing, or calf swelling and pain
Fainting or severe dizziness

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my stitches or staples be removed via telemedicine?
No — this needs to be done in person. If you still have sutures or staples in place, we’ll arrange an in-clinic visit around the right time for removal.
What if my wound looks infected?
Book an in-person visit as soon as possible, or if you also have fever, spreading redness, or feel unwell, go to A&E. Signs of infection shouldn’t wait for a routine telemedicine slot.
How soon after surgery can I have a telemedicine consult?
This depends on your procedure and how your recovery is going — Dr Lim will advise you on timing before you’re discharged or at your last visit.
Can I really show my wound over video?
Yes, many patients do this comfortably with a phone camera and good lighting. If it’s hard to assess clearly on camera, we’ll simply ask you to come in.
Will I still need an in-person post-op visit at some point?
Usually yes — telemedicine works well for interim check-ins, but most recovery pathways still include at least one in-person review.
