At DESA Consulting, we understand that surgery is more than just the operation itself—it is a journey. From preparation to recovery, every stage impacts your health and wellbeing. That’s why our team of experienced nurse practitioners and surgeons provide comprehensive support across pre-operative weight loss, pre- and post-operative care, orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery, general and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery, and surgical assisting.
Pre-Operative Weight Loss: Why It Matters Before Surgery
Maintaining a healthy weight before surgery significantly improves outcomes. Pre-op weight loss can:
- Reduce the risk of complications such as infections and delayed healing.
- Improve anaesthetic safety and recovery.
- Protect joints and organs, especially in orthopaedic and abdominal surgery.
At DESA Consulting, we provide tailored weight management programs that combine nutrition planning, medical support, and lifestyle coaching to prepare patients for safer surgery.
Pre-Operative & Post-Operative Care
The way you prepare before surgery and recover afterwards can make all the difference. We offer:
- Pre-op care: includes management of chronic conditions — including diabetes management before surgery, hypertension, and obesity, medication reviews, lifestyle adjustments, and education.
- Post-op care: wound monitoring, pain management, rehabilitation support, infection prevention, and long-term health guidance.
Our holistic approach ensures patients feel supported every step of the way.
Orthopaedic Surgery: From Prehab to Full Mobility
Orthopaedic surgery at DESA Consulting — including joint replacements and fracture repairs — requires careful preparation and recovery support. DESA Consulting assists with:
- Prehab programs to strengthen muscles before surgery.
- Weight loss support to reduce strain on joints.
- Post-operative care includes rehabilitation and strength programs designed to ensure a safe return to mobility and independence
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Support
Plastic and reconstructive surgery can have both cosmetic and medical benefits. We provide:
- Pre-op optimisation to ensure you are in the best health for surgery.
- Lifestyle support—including smoking cessation and nutrition planning—to improve healing.
- Post-op care such as wound management, scar reduction, and recovery monitoring.
General & HPB Surgery: Specialised Care for Complex Procedures
General and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeries, involving the liver, pancreas, or bile ducts, are complex and require specialised care. At DESA Consulting, we support patients by:
- Optimising nutrition and weight prior to surgery.
- Managing co-morbidities like diabetes, which directly impact recovery.
- Close post-op follow-up, helping patients transition safely back to daily life.

- Improve surgical precision and efficiency.
