🏥 State-of-the-Art Clinical Infrastructure

Your surgery and recovery will take place in our primary hospital, a premier private healthcare facility specifically designed to meet the most demanding human and technical requirements of modern spine surgery. We prioritize patient safety and advanced capability:

  • Advanced Surgical Unit: Our operating suite is a dedicated unit featuring seven state-of-the-art operating theaters, equipped with the latest surgical navigation and monitoring technology.
  • Comprehensive Post-Operative Care: Immediate post-surgical monitoring is ensured by eight dedicated Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) bays.

This infrastructure ensures that every aspect of your care, from the pre-operative stage to critical post-operative recovery, is supported by unmatched technical capability and specialized personnel.

📅 Duration of Stay and Post-Surgical Recovery

The length of your hospital stay is carefully determined by the complexity of the procedure performed, prioritizing your comfort and safety:

Procedure Type
Typical Hospital Stay
Notes
Percutaneous/Minimally Invasive Techniques
Outpatient Basis
Discharge typically occurs the same day after a period of observation.
Cervical Spine Surgery
24 Hours
Requires one overnight stay for primary observation.
Non-Instrumented Lumbar Procedures
24 Hours
Requires one overnight stay for primary observation.
Instrumented Lumbar Operations
24 to 72 Hours
Duration varies based on the surgical approach (minimally invasive vs. open).

Structured Post-Discharge Care

We aim for the earliest possible discharge to facilitate a more relaxed and comfortable recovery environment at your chosen hotel or accommodation. However, this transition is carefully managed:

  • Managed Activity: Upon discharge, you will be encouraged to begin gentle, structured mobilization, in accordance with your surgeon’s specific post-operative protocol.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Our clinical team ensures seamless continuity of care. A dedicated nurse or doctor will conduct daily visits to your accommodation.
  • Medical Clearance: These daily visits continue until your medical status is fully reviewed and you are issued your official Fit-to-Fly Certificate, clearing you for safe international travel.

Our post-discharge protocol ensures that your transition to recovery is safe, supported, and continuously monitored by our specialists.

💰 Transparent Pricing and Streamlined Packages

In response to feedback and to maximize transparency for our international patients, we have streamlined our surgical packages to focus exclusively on clinical services.

  • Focus on Core Care: To offer greater flexibility and pricing clarity, we have now unbundled accommodation and local transportation from the surgical fee. This allows you to select lodging and travel arrangements that best suit your personal preferences and budget. (Please note that personalized concierge services and airport transfers remain available upon request.)
  • Financial Transparency: While our estimated hospital stays are highly accurate, surgical recovery times can occasionally vary. You will be provided with advance notice and full cost disclosure regarding the fee for any unexpected extra in-patient nights required for clinical reasons.

Our commitment is to absolute cost transparency, ensuring you are fully informed and confident in the financial aspects of your treatment plan.

🔩 Implants and Instrumentation: Prioritizing Quality and Regulatory Compliance

The successful outcome of complex spinal surgery relies heavily on the quality and integrity of the surgical instrumentation used. We maintain rigorous standards when selecting implantable devices:

  • Superior Quality and Selection: We offer an extensive selection of implants and instruments, tailored precisely to the requirements of the specific surgical technique being performed.
  • Global Regulatory Compliance: Unless a specific device is medically requested, all patients are exclusively provided with premium, high-quality implants originating from leading North American or European manufacturers.
  • Guaranteed Safety: Crucially, all European-sourced devices carry the CE Mark—a mandatory conformity indicator certifying that the product meets the stringent public safety, health, and environmental requirements mandated by the European Union.

Commitment to the New EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR)

Our dedication to patient safety extends beyond standard certification. We strictly adhere to the requirements of the new European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745).

The MDR represents a significant upgrade in regulatory oversight, notably requiring increased clinical validation and documentation for all implantable devices. This new, more restrictive framework ensures that only devices with the most robust clinical evidence are permitted for use, providing our patients with an unparalleled level of assurance regarding the long-term safety and efficacy of the spinal implants used in their procedure.
