How should a person dress who is to undergo outpatient surgery?
GaleEncyofSurgery
the robe they give you, maybe underware. depends but after you get all druged up. you won't even care.
ans2. The last several occasions I've had day surgery, (cataracts, and skin cancer) there have been no restrictions.
It is usually only where serious invasive surgery is contemplated, that the increased hygiene is needed.
For example for brain surgery, sometimes the patient is fully conscious, but there hygiene would holds sway.

∙ 11y agoThat does depend a great deal on what is being operated on, however:
- it is usually a good idea to wear tops with loose-fitting sleeves and which buttons up the front. This means if one of your hands or arms are cannulated, it's easier to get the top on or off. Likewise, it's easier to take a blood pressure with loose sleeves.
-If the surgery is abdominal, go with elasticated trousers/ pj trousers. Nothing tight fitting will be pleasant.
- A metal free bra (if you're female and may require xrays/MRI's etc...)
- Decent underwear.
- Take pyjamas, just incase you end up staying there overnight.
