About
Patient Intelligence section
LDS is built in four connected layers, but as a patient you’ll mainly use the Patient Intelligence section, which is made specifically for you.
The other layers help your surgeon and operating room team work more safely and efficiently:
- They break the surgery down into clear, step-by-step actions (like setting up the room, placing ports, dissecting carefully, and removing the gallbladder).
- They show exactly which tools and medications are used at each moment.

What is Let’s Do Surgery (LDS)?
Let’s Do Surgery is a helpful digital platform designed to make Procedures much easier to understand for patients like you. It combines clear patient education with detailed information that your surgical team uses, so everyone is on the same page.
The main goal for patients is to reduce fear and build trust by giving you straightforward answers about your condition and surgery. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by medical terms, you can:
- Learn about your Procudure plain language
- Understand why surgery is recommended
- See the difference between Surgical Approaches
- Know what to expect on the day of surgery, including recovery timelines and possible risks
- Watch engaging 3D animations and listen to voice-guided explanations
- Follow a simple “A Day in the Life of Surgery” story that walks you through the entire experience
This helps you feel more prepared, less anxious, and more confident when talking with your surgeon.
- They show exactly which tools and medications are used at each moment.
- They highlight important safety steps to help prevent complications.
### Bottom Line for Patients
Let’s Do Surgery turns the “black box” of surgery into something transparent and understandable. It helps you know what’s happening to your body, why it’s being done, and what to expect — so you can feel more in control and less worried.
