Orthopedic & Joint Replacement Surgery

Emsey Hospital’s Orthopedic Department specialises in comprehensive musculoskeletal care, with a strong focus on joint replacement and sports injuries. International patients frequently visit for knee and hip replacement surgeries due to the hospital’s use of advanced prosthetic systems and minimally invasive techniques. Surgeons utilize computer-assisted navigation and modern implant materials that enhance durability and joint function. The department emphasises early mobilisation, reduced hospital stay, and structured rehabilitation programs, which are crucial for medical travelers aiming for faster recovery and return to daily life.

Procedures are performed in high-tech operating rooms supported by dedicated cardiac ICUs. Emsey Hospital is known for its patient-specific surgical planning, minimally invasive bypass techniques, and hybrid cardiac procedures. International patients benefit from comprehensive preoperative evaluation, reduced waiting times, and integrated postoperative cardiac rehabilitation.

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery at Emsey Hospital covers brain, spine, and peripheral nerve disorders. The department uses neuronavigation systems, advanced microscopes, and minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques. International patients seek treatment for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and brain tumors due to the hospital’s precision-based surgical approach and strong postoperative neurological care. Emphasis is placed on preserving neurological function and minimizing recovery time.

General & Laparoscopic Surgery

The General Surgery Department is well-known for advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive procedures involving the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder, hernias, and colorectal conditions.

Procedures Performed

Total Knee Replacement

Total knee replacement at Emsey Hospital is performed using advanced implant systems designed for long-term durability and natural joint movement. Indicated for severe arthritis and joint degeneration, the procedure involves replacing damaged cartilage and bone with prosthetic components. Surgeons employ minimally invasive approaches where possible, reducing blood loss and recovery time. Postoperative care includes pain management, early physiotherapy, and mobility training, enabling international patients to regain independence efficiently.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

CABG surgery at Emsey Hospital is indicated for patients with advanced coronary artery disease. Surgeons utilize both conventional and minimally invasive techniques, depending on patient suitability. The hospital’s cardiac ICU ensures close monitoring after surgery, while structured rehabilitation supports long-term heart health. International patients benefit from comprehensive cardiac evaluation and coordinated postoperative care.

Spinal Disc Surgery

Spinal disc surgery is performed to relieve nerve compression caused by a herniated or damaged disc that leads to back pain, leg pain, numbness, or weakness. The procedure begins with the patient being given general anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout surgery. The surgeon makes a small incision over the affected part of the spine and carefully moves the surrounding muscles aside to access the spinal column. Using advanced imaging guidance and microsurgical instruments, the surgeon removes the portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerve. In minimally invasive techniques such as microdiscectomy, this is done through a very small opening, reducing tissue damage and speeding up recovery.

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

The surgeon makes three to four small keyhole-sized incisions in the abdomen. Through one incision, a tiny camera called a laparoscope is inserted, which provides a clear, magnified view of the internal organs on a monitor. Specialised surgical instruments are introduced through the other incisions. The abdomen is gently inflated with carbon dioxide gas to create space, allowing precise and safe surgical movement. The gallbladder is carefully separated from the liver and bile ducts and then removed through one of the small incisions. After confirming there is no bleeding or bile leakage, the instruments are removed, and the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty at Emsey Hospital combines functional correction with aesthetic refinement. Surgeons focus on nasal harmony, breathing improvement, and long-lasting results. International patients benefit from detailed preoperative planning and postoperative follow-up tailored to travel schedules.
