Nuffield Health PROMOTION Fast track hip and knee replacements. Nuffield Health Guildford Hospital. Living with hip or knee pain can be a worrying time. If the pain starts to become inconvenient or is restricting everyday activities, it may be time to seek help. At the Nuffield Health Guildford Hospital our Orthopaedic Consultant, Miss Kate Gill, is now offering fast track hip and knee replacement surgery, which can get you back to your best quicker than you think. What is a fast track hip or knee replacement? Usually, when patients undergo a knee or hip replacement procedure, they can expect an average hospital stay of 4-5 days for recovery. Miss Gill's fast track surgery means patients can go home the day after surgery and some patients can even leave on the same day. Patients are often on their feet by 5pm after being in theatre that morning, which provides massive patient benefits. What are the benefits? You may be able to recover in your own home and clothes the day of/after your surgery. As a general anaesthetic is not used, you won't be left feeling sick or nauseous. Fast track replacements have been proven to reduce length of stay and morbidity. Miss Gill has found no increase in readmission rates or compromise to patient safety for these procedures. Why should I come to the Nuffield Health Guildford Hospital for my Orthopaedic care? We have no waiting lists at our hospital meaning you can have an initial consultation with our Orthopaedic surgeons in just 24-48 hours and receive any necessary treatment shortly after. Our experienced consultants are renowned for their consistently successful surgical outcomes. We are not-for-profit and reinvest back into developing our services and improving the quality of patient healthcare. How does a fast track hip or knee replacement work? Patients can leave hospital faster as recovery time is considerably shorter. This is because the anaesthetic is targeted and used alongside sedation instead of a general anaesthetic. This allows for quicker post operative mobilisation, reducing risk of blood clots, strokes, chest problems and heart attacks. The surgical technique and implants are the same, but prior to the operation patients consume a carbohydrate loaded drink supporting quicker return of bowel function,, ensuring patients lose less muscle mass and aids faster recovery. Initial Consultation £250 Miss Kathryn Gill Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon.
