I am a week away from my tt, and I have a small cold. I'm so excited for the surgery I'm paranoid if I still have the cold it will be cancelled. Under what conditions would a tt surgery be cancelled?

Answer: Elective surgery during illness You should not have the elective surgery if you are sick. An upper respiratory infection such as a cold can increase the risks from anesthesia. It is also harder for your body to heal if it is trying to fight infection. I understand your desire to have surgery on the planned date. A lot of arrangements are typically made prior to surgery. The most prudent thing however is to notify your surgeon of your illness and postpone the surgery if necessary.
