I have a cyst on my back that I would like to have removed. My Kaiser doctor sent me to a surgery center to talk to a surgeon. Last time I had one removed it was done by a dermatologist and it was long before warfarin. But I guess that's the way Kaiser does it. Anyways, The surgeon wants me to stop warfarin 5 days before the procedure and use lovenox shots up until 12 hours before the procedure. Then I guess start my warfarin again and wait for my level to come back up.
Seems like overkill to me for a small incision that might only need one stitch.
Opinions? Suggestions?
Thanks
