Abstract

A surgeon should be aware of what drugs the patient should avoid before any surgery is performed. This is most important with nonemergency procedures such as liposuction. Estrogens are a significant risk factor in thromboembolism, while cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors can prevent the breakdown of lidocaine and result in lidocaine toxicity. The author discusses the use of herbals by patients and Toradol by surgeons.
