Welcome to Mayo Connect. Evaluation and required classes prior to surgery will vary based on the clinic / hospital you plan on having surgery at. At Mayo, it is a requirement prior to surgery. Other places may or may not have the same requirements.

If your clinic does not require, you may ask the surgeon about any additional pre-surgery education that is available. Also, would ask about any post-surgery support that will be available.

When and what type of surgery is scheduled?
