Knowing a patient's previous surgical procedures is crucial for several reasons. It helps the physician assess potential complications, understand the patient's medical history, and tailor the current treatment plan accordingly. Additionally, prior surgeries may influence the patient's anatomy or physiology, which can affect current diagnoses and interventions. This information is essential for ensuring safe and effective care.
