Hi.
I believe the best way to solve this situation is by communication. This is an elective operation so nobody has the right to demand anything. If this is the situation, consider a second consult.
I also believe that wherever possible, all relevant records should be evaluated prior to surgery. I think a CT should be ordered only if there is a clinical need, as it will generate costs and radiation exposure.
Aside from this, routine lab work is indicated.
I bet your ENT also does turbinectomy, and since he knows you, ask him about it. Turbinectomy is a small (minor?) procedure, but it can carry significant complications.
All the best.
