Avatar n tn My mom is going to have bilateral knee replacement surgery in India. From the conversation with my parents, what I figured, the doctor is going to use oxinium Knee replacement implant (which is from Smith and nephew).

Legs deformation and pain are the reasons why a great number of elderly people cannot walk normally and in most cases, after arthritis is developed, need to undergo knee replacement.

Avatar f tn There was a lot of arguments between the UK government and Caridiologists over the cost of the stent, the government saying it is not cost effective. Cardiologists argued that surgery after care with usual treatments costs far more when combined with the surgery itself, making the stent much cheaper. Was this technique never used? It was on the news in the UK but I didn't hear anymore about it.

Avatar n tn I was recently evaluated by a dentist for possible veneer, mainly for cosmetic reasons. However, given the condition of my teeth, he recommended crowns instead of veneers. He also recommended crown lengthening because my teeth are small and "too short". It would cost me $600 for whitening (ZOOM), $4500 for crown lengthening-6 teeth and about $2500 per crown (including provisional crown, post and porcelein crown). I have several questions: 1) Is this overpriced?.
1218873 tn?1300091216 Over here in the UK, we generally don't know what the cost of tests and drugs are, as they are covered by the NHS. But over the past 12 months I have started to learn a bit of what thing cost, and it appears that even if you go private they are considerabley cheaper than in the US which to me dosen't seem quite right.
Avatar f tn Vision now with the Finevision is way over 95% perfect in all conditions, 100% in most areas of my daily life. I have not regretted spending a penny if it. Even if you cost in a flight, you could have the op and fly back same day.

Avatar f tn Dr Zenn at Duke told me the first step of Diep will cost sixty thousand.. with tmy insurance paying eighty percent of what they think he should have charged.

Would tissue expander placement be ambulatory. How much would that cost... a range? How much for the implant placement. Is it ambulatory as well?
Avatar f tn I have moderate knee pain most of the time, especially when I sit. The knee is swollen and looks as if it has a lot of fluid in it. My orthopedic surgeon has said that I will definetly have to have a total knee replacement but the time to do it is up to me. I am 67 years old and don't know if it would be better to do it before I get older. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I have no medical insurance and I have an agressive cataract in my right eye that has made me legally blind in that eye. Does anyone know what the range of actual cost of cataract surgery sans insurance payments is. It would be mono focal and only the one eye. Any information would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn I have a question...I fell from a couple of a stairs and tore my lateral meniscus. The orthopedic told me that I have to get surgery because that portion of the tear is not healed. Also he mentioned that the cartilage in my knee is calcifying.

Avatar n tn None of the women who underwent mastectomy had breast cancer events during follow-up, versus 7% of those who did not have surgery. Similarly, prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy was associated with lower risk for ovarian cancer. Salpingo-oophorectomy was also associated with decreased risk for breast cancer in both BRCA1 (hazard ratio, 0.63) and BRCA2 (HR, 0.36) carriers.
