Surgery and Hospitalization

I have been quoted at $14,000 US from a medical tourism company in Mexico. I believe there are many cheaper options also... between $8000 and $10000. A Hip Resurfacing costs about $ 7500- $ 8000 in India. The Madras Joint Replacement center is a premier Joint Replacement center that offers affordable Hip Resurfacing. http://www.hipsurgery.in http://www.kneeindia.com

Amniotomy is surgical incision into the amnion.

If a woman has had her tubes tied, cut, and burned it is unlikely that she can have another child. Her body has been excessively shut off from that function.

You probably not be able to move like for example do things.

The costs can vary between 1,000 and 3,000 dollars per surgery. It also depends on whether you are having inpatient or outpatient surgery.

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most recently developed type of refractive surgery.

Nip/Tuck

The colpotomy is performed during the second step to deliver the uterus into the vagina.

Severe and deep set pain in the head on one side only, which spreads around to the facial bones and jaw lines. One only has to tap the side of the face above the ear and there will be an acute shot of pain. Sometimes all the teeth feel painful and the patient is unable to bear any pressure, such as lying on, that side of the face. The most telling symptom for diagnosis is that regular painkillers such as aspirin or ibuprophen have no effect on the pain. The patient is acutely uncomfortable and can be distressed to the point of feeling anxious, depressed and panicky because there is no relief from the pain. (Hence trygeminal neuralgia is often known as suicide disease) Some times the pain subsides and returns in waves of stabbing pain. For a complete diagnosis, if the patient is given the drug Tegretol and gains substantial relief from a dose of 200mg then the diagnosis is accurate.

How much does a thyroidectomy cost?

I had a total thyroidectomy last month and my insurance was just billed $41,000 of which they paid all but my copay on.

Unbelievable. I had no complications other than an echo cardiogram after an abnormal egk post op. I was in the hospital 32 hours.

While there are a number of varying statistics on the subject, most studies put the failure rate for tubal ligations at less than one half of one percent. So, while there's a statistical possibility that you could be pregnant, it's very unlikely. There are lots of things that could cause you to be late, so relax and give it a little time and if you develop any specific symptoms other than being a little late, go see a doctor. Good luck.

The first lung transplant was attempted by Dr. Hardy at the University of Mississippi in 1964. This was not a successful procedure.

The first long-term success with single lung transplantation was performed by the team at the University of Toronto Thoracic Surgery Group in Toronto, Canada (at the Toronto General Hospital) in 1983. The Toronto group also performed the first successful double lung transplant in 1986.

Prior to that, the Stanford University group performed the first successful heart-lung transplant.

No is diagnostic not surgical

A kidney transplant would be better because a kidney machine doesn't fix the problem, it just takes the toxins out of the body. Also you have to spend, on average, 3-4 days a week at hospital for dialysis. You have to take the anti-rejection drugs the rest of your life probably but that is a small price to pay compared to losing your life, I would think, however you can reject the kidney and possibly forfit your life.

If you are talking about axillary node dissection for breast cancer where there is lymph node involvement, I am told it is permanent although I would really like to hear otherwise from someone who has undergone this surgery.

I had an axillary node dissection 3.5 weeks ago and my armpit and the back of my upper arm/shoulder is still numb. No one told me about this before the surgery so I was not prepared for this to happen. I would not have had any choice and still would have had to have the surgery but I wish someone would have mentioned this to prepare me. I also have pain in the back of my upper arm, feels like a very bad sunburn, also very bothersome.

I will pray every day for the sensitivity to return, but the surgery was necessary to remove life threatening cancer from my body.

If anyone has had an axillary node dissection and regained the feeling in their armpit, I would love to hear about it, would give me hope.

A local anesthetic is used for the surgical procedure performed on an outpatient basis. An incision is made by a surgeon in the palm of the hand at the base of the affected finger or thumb to relieve the constriction of the tendon.

Many doctors work for themselves in private practice, but others work for hospitals, clinics, the government, pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic or research labs, nursing homes or assisted living facilities, and several others.

Prior to any surgery, the patient undergoes extensive testing to determine the proper corrective procedure. Tests may include x rays, computed tomography scans (CT scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), myelograms.

Surgical clips are necessary when getting your gallbladder removed.

When your gallbladder is removed, it leaves an opening in your common bile duct. Normally this opening is where the liver pumps bile into for storage in the gallbladder. Since you no longer have a gallbladder, if this opening was not sealed with surgical clips, your liver would essentially be pumping bile into your abdomen.
