Get Total knee replacement surgery in India with a special medical tourism package
India is a prime destination for total knee replacement surgery. As health care costs skyrocket, patients in the developed world are looking overseas for medical treatment. India is capitalizing on its low costs and highly trained doctors to appeal to these “medical tourists”. The total knee replacement surgery in India is not only fast but also costs a fraction of what it costs in USA or Europe. Even tele-consultancy is available for expert opinion and transmission facilities. Medical tourism has become a common form of vacationing, and covers a broad spectrum of medical services. Medical tourism mixes leisure, fun and relaxation together with wellness and healthcare.
A total knee replacement surgery is a surgical procedure whereby the diseased knee joint is replaced with artificial material. The knee is a hinge joint which provides motion at the point where the thigh meets the lower leg. The thigh bone (or femur) abuts the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the knee joint. During a total knee replacement surgery, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell. The end of the lower leg bone (tibia) is also removed and replaced with a channeled plastic piece with a metal stem. Depending on the condition of the kneecap portion of the knee joint, a plastic “button” may also be added under the kneecap surface.
What patients are ideal for the total knee replacement surgery?
Total knee replacement surgery is considered for patients whose knee joints have been damaged by progressive arthritis, trauma, or other rare destructive diseases of the joint. Regardless of the cause of the damage to the joint, the resulting progressively increasing pain and stiffness and decreasing daily function lead the patient to consider total knee replacement.
Risks of total knee replacement include blood clots, in the legs that can travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Pulmonary embolism can cause shortness of breath, chest pain and even shock.
The preoperative evaluation for total knee replacement surgery:
Before surgery, joints adjacent to the diseased knee are carefully evaluated. This is important to ensure optimal outcome from the surgery. Replacing a knee joint which is adjacent to a severely damaged joint may not yield significant improvement in function. Furthermore, all medications which the patient is taking are reviewed. Blood-thinning medications such as warfarin (Coumadin) and anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin may have to be adjusted or discontinued prior to surgery. Excess body weight simply puts the replaced knee at an increased risk of loosening and dislocation.
Procedure of total knee replacement surgery:
The procedure of total knee replacement surgery involves removal of the damaged bone of the knee joint and replacement with prosthesis or an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high grade plastics and polymers. During the surgery, the knee is kept in bent position so that the surface of the knee is fully exposed. An incision of 6-12 inches is made after which the muscles, kneecap and connective tissues are moved aside to expose the damaged joint surface. After smoothening the bone’s rough surface, the prosthesis is inserted.
The postoperative period of total knee replacement surgery:
A total knee replacement generally requires between one and a half to three hours of operative time. After total knee replacement surgery, patients are taken to a recovery room, where vital organs are frequently monitored. When stabilized, patients are returned to their hospital room. Physical therapy is an extremely important part of rehabilitation and requires full participation by the patient for optimal outcome. Patients can begin physical therapy 48 hours after surgery. Some degree of pain, discomfort, and stiffness can be expected during the early days of physical therapy. Knee immobilizers are used in order to stabilize the knee while undergoing physical therapy, walking and sleeping.
Why to consider India?
Health care centers of Delhi and Mumbai provide best medical facilities and well recognized surgeons for the treatment for the total knee replacement surgery in India. India has originated as one of the most important hubs for medical tourism. Many people from the developed countries come to India for the rejuvenation promised by yoga and Ayurvedic massage however, a nice blend of top-class medical expertise at attractive prices is helping more and more Indian corporate hospitals to lure foreign patients, including patients from developed nations such as the UK and the US, for high end surgeries. Medical help is often an emergency and situations can turn worse if the treatment is delayed. While you might have to wait for several months to get a surgical operation done in the US, in India things can be arranged within a week.

Affordable Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in the Philippines: Medical Tourism
Cosmetic surgery tourism is a price driven phenomenon that has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few decades. Popular destinations for cosmetic surgery tourism include Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, South Africa, and Thailand. What does the Philippines have to offer over other popular cosmetic surgery hotspots?
The primary advantage of having surgery done in the Philippines is the cost. Because of the present exchange rate (1 USD: 41 Pesos as of April 2008), the cost of plastic surgery in the Philippines is only a fraction of the cost in other countries particularly the United States and Europe. On the average, a typical breast augmentation will cost around 7000-8000 USD in the United States. In the Philippines, this will cost around 3000-4000 USD at the present market rate.
Although cost is a primary consideration, it should not be the only factor to determine one’s choice of surgeon. Wherever you are in the world, choosing the right plastic surgeon is the most important decision you will have to make. In the Philippines, there are a number of fully trained and highly skilled Plastic Surgeons who underwent formal training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The Philippine Association of Plastic Recontructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, Inc (PAPRAS) is the only organization that accepts fellowship training for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After training, they undergo certification by the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery (PBPS) which is the only organization tasked by the Philippine College of Surgeons (PCS) to grant board certification in the field of Plastic Surgery.
State-of-the-art technology and professional medical expertise are offered by most Philippine hospitals and out-patient surgery centers. Patients can be assured of first class healthcare comparable to world class standards. Be sure to ask if the center is accredited by the Department of Health.
Filipinos are known to be cheerful, caring, and compassionate. They are warm and very hospitable. Nursing care provided by Filipinos in Britain is legendary as is in the United States. This holds the same for doctors. Their unique characteristics makes them excel in the healthcare industry.
The language barrier can be very frustrating especially for patients. Imagine trying to convey something to your surgeon and all he does is nod or shake his head. Most Filipinos are fluent in English. This is an important advantage in healthcare professions. Communication between patient and surgeon is of utmost importance during initial consultation as well as the post-operative period. It helps make the surgical experience a more “pleasurable” one.
Surgery in the Philippines offers distinct advantages to potential patients of cosmetic surgery. Low costs, highly qualified plastic surgeons, and world class facilities makes the Philippines a potential site in the cosmetic tourism industry.

Baltic Countries are the Newest Entrants to Europe’s Dental Tourism Competition
When Baltic States like Latvia were part of the Soviet Union, dental treatment of all kinds was clearly inferior to that offered in the West. For example, the lack of powerful anesthetics made a trip to the dentist a nightmare of pain and stress. Horror stories were common and no one in their right mind wanted to have a cavity filled or worse still, endure an extraction.
Nowadays all that’s changed as 2 decades of development have brought these countries up to and sometimes above the level of their Western counterparts. Indeed, every year thousands of patients from old industrialized EU countries are taking advantage of First World dental care at Third World prices. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Latvia’s capital, Riga, where dozens of clinics compete for patients arriving from Norway, Sweden, Ireland, and as far away as the US.
There’s a good reason for all the travel. Even when the costs of a plane ticket and hotel are calculated, treatment in Riga will be significantly cheaper than at home. The difference is even greater when the patient requires multiple procedures or treatment for several teeth. Beyond steep discounts which offer remarkable dental treatment bargains, the long waiting times for treatment in their home countries remains another important factor stimulating patient interest.
From the clinics’ point of view, this influx of foreign patients couldn’t come at a better time as a deep recession has made local patients quite reluctant to spend money on dental procedures. In response, the level of attention and service is clearly on the upswing. Clinics like Baltic Dental Services in Riga are offering new patients an array sharply discounted standard procedures like cleaning and whitening, while providing visiting patients extra concierge services like airport transit and hotel reservations assistance.
Dr. Olga Galkina, one of Baltic Dental’s busiest dentists, describes the new attitude this way, “We want the patient to feel completely at ease with our clinic, as if they were visiting their local dentist – but we know we must do more because the patient is traveling so far.” Dr. Galkina, a statuesque blonde who could easily pass for a fashion model, is serious about making her patients feel at home; in her spare time she studies Norwegian, soon to add it to her French, Italian, Russian, and English. In addition to language fluency, Dr Galkina opens her clinic on Sunday to accommodate the weekend visitor, an important advantage since many foreign patients cannot afford to miss many workdays.
With increased competition comes the need for increased visibility and ways to communicate the differences between various clinics. Many dental clinics use in-flight advertising, however, most agree the best advertising will always be word of mouth referral. It’s a powerful message when one hears about a friend or business associate receiving excellent treatment for a low price. This kind of “organic” growth must be earned and is what most Riga dentists insist is the reason for rapid growth in the number of loyal patients who return year after year.
While price is a key factor in driving demand, of course there are limits. Recently dentists in Sweden lowered prices to compete with their Baltic neighbors. And, costs for equipment and materials continue rise, further narrowing the price advantage. Even so, the labor rates for professional services are much cheaper in countries like Latvia and labor is the major cost driver in all dental procedures.
The future looks bright for dental tourism in the Baltics. Countries like Latvia have now joined the long list of developing countries like India, Thailand and Mexico, who have found a new way to profit from the globalization of medical and dental services.
