Medical Tourist from Uzbekistan undergoes Multiple Orthopaedic Surgeries at Artemis Hospital

Patient Name: Mrs. Lazebanaya Liliya

Patient From: Uzbekistan

Condition Treated: Pain in the back and Hip area

Treatment/Procedure: Hip Replacement Surgery and Spinal Decompression procedure

Doctor/Surgeon: Dr. IPS Oberoi – Director of the Department of Arthroscopy and Joint Replacement Surgery

Hospital: Artemis Hospital, Gurugram

Mrs. Liliya had been suffering from severe pain in her Hip region and she also had Spondylitis in her Spinal area. With passing time, the pain kept escalating and it was unbearable for which she kept popping painkillers every day. But the relief was temporary, and the pain kept coming back. It was difficult for her stand for a long time and complete even short walks. Soon, she was almost bedridden.

She got a check-up done at a local hospital, where she was told that her Hip region was badly damaged due to Arthritis. The treatment suggested was a Hip Replacement Surgery. Although the diagnosis was done but unfortunately, the required surgeries were not possible in her country. Since she was in desperate need for treatment, she researched about the availability of such Orthopaedic surgeries in other countries. That’s when she read about Artemis Hospital in India, where the success rate of Orthopaedic procedures was very high as compared to many other countries.

She connected with the hospital through one of her acquaintances and her case was referred to Dr. IPS Oberoi, who is one of the very few Orthopaedic surgeons who initiated minimally invasive reconstructive procedure, which is known as Key Hole Surgery, for Hip, Elbow, Ankle, and Shoulder. On arriving in India, she was taken to Artemis Hospital in Gurugram to meet Dr. Oberoi. He guided her about her whole condition and explained to her the surgeries she would be going through. Mrs. Liliya says that she was very impressed with the transparency and knowledge of the surgeon.

According to Dr. Oberoi, it was a challenge to perform multiple Orthopaedic surgeries on her as not only both her Hip, but her Spine too was damaged and needed repair. First, he performed a Hip Replacement surgery on one side and then two days later the other side was repaired. After that, the final surgery was a Spinal Decompression at multiple levels or Spinal Fixation. He says that Mrs. Liliya withstood the surgery and showed significant signs of recovery very soon. Just two days after the surgeries, she was walking with the help of a walker but very soon she was able to walk without it.

She says that the pain levels came down and she had never felt so good. In the next few days, she was ready to head back home. She is immensely thankful to Dr. Oberoi and his team for the warmth and care. Last but not the least, she thanks the staff of Artemis Hospital for their hospitality.
