We advise some blood and urine tests and a physician visit after choosing a date for admission and operation, which is typically 7 or 10 days prior to admission. This is to ensure that you are healthy enough for the procedure and anaesthesia. This will assist us in determining whether or if there is an infection in your body that is active or recent and that may be addressed before surgery.

Surgery must proceed with any current skin, oral, or urinary infections present, which must also be treated and recorded in lab tests. Also, the patient must let the doctor know about every medication they are taking so that they can stop taking specific medications, such blood thinners, well in advance of surgery! You may complete all of these reports without any hassle in our hospital only.

In the evening or night before the surgery, you would be admitted to the hospital and given a second physical to ensure that you were healthy and fit to have the procedure.

During knee replacement surgery, two different forms of anesthesia are frequently employed. The most popular form of anesthesia is spinal anesthesia with epidural analgesia, which blocks pain in your legs so you won’t feel the procedure.

This is accomplished by inserting a tiny catheter into your lower back and injecting numbing medication around the nerves that would normally supply your legs. Moreover, sedatives are given to you; though you might nod off, you are still able to breathe on your own.

A real surgical process typically lasts between 50 and 1 hour. You will have to stay in the operating room for roughly two to two and a half hours due to the preoperative preparation time needed by an anesthesiologist to prepare you for the surgery and some procedures following the surgery.

This will depend on how much hemoglobin you had before the procedure. Blood loss during surgery is often modest when using a tourniquet. Hence, blood transfusion is typically not required during surgery. Yet, occasionally, following surgery, we could provide advice taking into account the hemoglobin level and the output of the drain coming from the surgical incision.

The most essential and necessary component of the entire course of treatment is physical therapy! There is no such thing as No Physio Knee Replacement in Science! However, it won’t be uncomfortable or terrible to go through it! In order to learn how to walk and enhance your gait or walking pattern, physiotherapy works to strengthen the weak muscles around the knee joint and to improve the mobility of new joints.

To make sure you are familiar with the program and to soften and smooth out the stiff knee joint, we may even ask you to begin treatment a week or 10 days before the scheduled surgery date.
