Common Questions

FAQs for International Patients

Clear answers to the most common concerns before planning joint replacement surgery in India.

Many patients need around 2 to 4 days in hospital, followed by hotel recovery and review before flying. The exact duration depends on the surgery, fitness, wound healing, and mobility progress.

Fit-to-fly timing is decided after clinical review. The team checks wound status, swelling, walking ability, DVT prevention plan, and overall medical fitness before advising travel.

Bilateral knee replacement may be possible for selected patients after detailed assessment. Age, heart and lung fitness, blood parameters, bone quality, and recovery support are reviewed before recommending it.

Many patients do not require blood transfusion, but this depends on baseline haemoglobin, medical condition, surgery type, and intra-operative factors. The team discusses this during pre-operative planning.

Patients can share updates, wound photos if needed, and physiotherapy progress through online follow-up. Any urgent symptoms should also be assessed locally without delay.
