Medical Tourism - Healthbase - Dr. Kausahl Malhan - Hip Resurfacing

Is this a minimally invasive?
This operation can be done by a minimally invasive approach and the invasion can be kept to less than 10cms. The operation also involves minimal damage to bone.

Do I need blood transfusion during the surgery?
We generally do not need blood transfusions during the operation.

Is it a very painful operation?
Pain control techniques and minimal injury to soft tissue and bone during surgery help to keep the patients comfortable in the post operative period.

When do we remove the stitches and is it very painful?
Absorbable sutures are used. These need not to be removed.

How long do I have to stay in hospital?
Local patients are discharged four days after the operation, but overseas patients may have to stay for 8-10 days after surgery.

When can I start walking and climbing stairs after the operation?
Most patients start walking with support on the second postoperative day after removal of the drain. Team of physiotherapist takes you through a standardized protocol of mobilization and stair climbing is achieved before discharge.

Do I need lots of physiotherapy after surgery?
The amount of physiotherapy needed depends on the condition of your joint and muscles before the operation. Most patients do not need much suppressed physiotherapy.

 Will I be able to sit on the floor after surgery?
Yes, this surgery will allow you to do that safely unless another problem prevents it.

What is the ASR/BHR?
Hip resurfacing or surface replacement arthroplasty uses specialized implants that are fixed into the bone. Two international companies sell such implants at present.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
