Procedure Information
Why might I need a hip replacement? Over time, the surfaces on the hip joint can start to wear. This can be caused by osteoarthritis or a previous injury to the hip. Osteoarthritis is painful as joints become stiff and inflamed when the smooth lining between the joints gets damaged or wears away. Without the protection of this lining, the rough surfaces of your bones rub together as you move, causing the pain that is all too common to sufferers. Simple, everyday things like going for a walk or even getting dressed become difficult. There’s no cure for osteoarthritis and it can get worse with time. However, joints can be replaced successfully, improving mobility and reducing pain. What happens during hip replacement? A variety of anaesthetic techniques can be used. Prior to your operation the anaesthetist will discuss these options with you Your surgeon’s choice of prosthesis will be based on several factors such as your age, your level of activity and your current condition. If you have concerns be sure and ask your surgeon about his prosthesis choice and the reasons behind it Both cemented and uncemented replacements are used at Nuffield Health Hospitals Your surgical wound will be closed with stitches, staples or steri-strips.

May 3 2023 I was admitted for cataract surgery last week, feeling very nervous re the pending experience. However from admission to discharge, I was treated by all concerned with care & reassurance. The surgeon talked me through the procedure, & the team all put me at ease. On discharge, the nurse was very friendly (& patient) as she talked me through the post-op regime I should observe in the coming few weeks. I departed very impressed & totally satisfied!!

May 27 2022 2nd cataract surgery carried out very efficiently by surgeon and theatre team,however the nursing staff and general facility was far below the standard I have experienced on previous occasions at this hospital.The room was dark and the TV didn’t work.The nurse didn’t introduce herself,talked about herself,dropped the pupil-dilating med.which delayed the theatre.Then took nearly two hours to locate follow up eye drops and provide discharge letter.When asked if they were short staffed I was told no they were just busy and it was Friday afternoon! The staff were unprofessional referring in the corridor for all to hear about”the old guy who had a general in room…” Because my previous visit for my first cataract had been a very positive experience I was quite happy to leave without proper discharge procedure but anyone going through this for the first time or with any anxiety issues would have found this experience quite traumatic.
