Hip / Knee Replacement Surgery Abroad

But how to choose where to go, and the operating surgeon?

http://treatmentinlithuania.co.uk/


Choosing the right hospital for a hip or a knee replacement surgery abroad is just part of the puzzle – another, not less important factor, is the surgeon who would be performing the surgery.


And while most patients understand the importance, not many know how to gather the necessary information to make sure they would get into the right hands.



“One of the most important things to know about the operating surgeon, is how many surgeries per year the surgeon is performing.


Then, when you have 2-3 surgeons to compare, it becomes very easy to see which one has the least experience. It is not necessary to go with the one who performs the most – but it is important to make sure the surgeon is operating daily or almost daily.



– says Andrius Jonutis, the General Deputy Manager at Kardiolita private general hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Because there are many surgeons in hospitals worldwide, who have been operating for 15+ years, but they spend most of their time in seminars and conferences, performing only 30-40 surgeries per year. Compared to those who perform 200-300 surgeries per year, it becomes clear who we want to go to, for more experience.”




Additionally to that, it is important to make sure the surgeon will be there for checkups after the surgery.

“In so many hospitals the patient would never see the operating surgeon again after the surgery – at Kardiolita hospital, our surgeon is there for meeting the patient and consulting – this greatly improves the quality of our services and all of our patients are extremely happy with this.




– adds Andrius Jonutis.

Furthermore, it is important to know that the risk of complications after orthopaedic surgeries in Lithuania is the 2nd lowest in the world (after Switzerland)”
