Hernia patients in the USA
If you feel that there is benefit in having your hernia repaired by hernia specialists, in a dedicated, specialist hernia centre, then the following information may surprise you.
There are very few real hernia specialists around, in the USA (or the UK or the rest of the western world), it is simply not an area that has attracted many surgeons as a specialty.
In most towns and cities, there are no such specialist facilities at all and you may have to travel to another city if you want this kind of approach.
A further problem faced in the USA is that the costs of medical and surgical care generally, are the highest in the world – by a wide margin! And more US surgeons recommend the riskier key-hole or now robotic approaches. Far too expensive and not necessary at all!
So, if your current options are…
To have a non-specialist technique of surgery locally
– or –
Spend a large sum of money traveling to and staying in another city
– and –
Pay a significant amount of money for
- the operation by key-hole or robotic surgery
- doctors’ fees
- anaesthesiologist fees
- drugs and dressings, etc
… then there is a really attractive alternative for you.
We are happy to offer our specialist techniques to patients from the USA at a fraction of the cost, and why not also make the most of your travel and visit the ‘Old Country’ as a tourist.
Remember, with our technique you will (for almost all cases) be able to get around almost like any ‘normal’ tourist from the very next day! This really is a ‘Vacation With a Difference’!
After the operation, we are available to you around the clock for 24hr aftercare, in case you need us and just before you leave for home, we take a final look at you, ensure all is well and that you are able to return home in fine shape.
There are not even any stitches to remove! Just a dressing that floats off in the bath tub! The full description of what we do and what shape you are in afterwards is covered in detail in other areas of the website.
If you would like to have your hernia repaired…
- by the largest tension-free specialist hernia center in the world
- to the same high standards as are found anywhere in the USA
- using an American technique
AND
- enjoy a week in the ‘Old Country’ (shops, a show, the sights, etc.)
- and get back home again ‘fighting fit’ a week later
…this might be just the thing.
