Hip resurfacing and hip relacement are orthopedic procedures. Hip resurfacing replaces the surface of the hip joint, but one that removes less bone tissue than traditional hip replacement procedures. Because this procedure removes less bone, it also promotes faster healing and recuperation. In most cases, hip resurfacing involves the head of the femur, or thighbone. Sometimes, it also involves both the hip socket as well as the head of the femur.
Â
Hip resurfacing procedures in the United States are extremely costly and may amount to $55,000-$60,000, for one hip! The same procedure in India costs around $8,500. Medical tourists traveling to Thailand, Singapore, and South America for the same treatments may anticipate spending 1/6th the amount charged in the United States for such procedures.
Â
Hip replacement treatments and procedures are often suggested due to damage caused by osteoarthritis or injuries that limit a person’s range of motion, mobility, and comfort. Different types of procedures or treatments are recommended depending upon the need of an individual patient. Today’s hip replacement surgeries tend to minimally invasive surgical procedures that are often recommended after bone scans, MRIs, x-rays and ultrasound determine the extent of damage to bones in hip joints.
Â
Hip replacement surgical procedures may cost up to $43,000 in the United States. In Singapore and Thailand however, medical tourist patients may benefit from hip replacement surgical procedures that cost about $12,000. In India, the cost can range from about $9,000-$10,000.

How much are you worth?
Â
And since when should money be a deciding factor on whether or not a person receives the medical care or drugs he or she needs to survive?
Â
For example, depending on the type of procedure or surgery that is performed, cardiac surgeries have widely differing price ranges. However, they are among the most expensive surgical procedures performed in the United States. Coronary bypass surgery can cost up to $20,000 for one bypass, more if additional bypasses are required. A heart transplant can cost over $150,000!
Â
Highly acclaimed facilities and cardiac surgeons can be found in Jordan, Thailand and Singapore for a fraction of the costs in the U.S. For example, an angioplasty balloon procedure in the U.S. can cost up to $57,000, while in India, the cost hovers around $11,000 and in Thailand the same procedure costs about $13,000.
Â
Laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure in the United States costs roughly (and a minimum) of $30,000. In India, the cost averages about $16,500. In Mexico and South American destinations, costs may average between $9,800 and $13,000.Â
Â
Liposuction costs and treatments are defined by the area where fat is located and the anatomical focus. To put it quite simply, larger areas cost more. For example, the cost of liposuction to the lower abdomen costs around $2,000 in the United States. Liposuction to the outer thighs may cost $1,600 each. Medical tourists may benefit through cosmetic surgery procedures centers in Argentina, where charges costs are less, generally under $3,000, which in many cases includes lodging. Liposuction in India costs one tenth of what it costs in the United States.

Laparoscopic surgical procedures are the cutting edge of medical technology in the 21st century. Less invasive surgical techniques and procedures utilizing laparoscopic surgery enable patients to heal faster, reduce the risk of infection, and cause less tissue damage and resulting complications. Laparoscopic surgery is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The technique enables surgeons to view, access and remove sections or entire organs through very small incisions.
For example, laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that has been perfected in the past two decades that enables surgeons to surgically repair or remove organs in the body through small incisions that result in fewer complications, surrounding tissue damage and faster healing times. A gallbladder removal procedure is called a cholecystectomy. Other popular laparoscopic procedures include:
- Appendectomy (removal of the appendix)
- Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH)
- Bariatric gastric bypass surgeries
- Cancer treatment
- Fibroids
Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgical procedures may enjoy savings of tens of thousands of dollars in hospital care costs due to shortened hospital stay time. In the United States for example, the cost of laparoscopic gallbladder removal averages about $3,000 to $8,000 but lab costs and anesthesiology and hospital stay may leave patients with a bill of approximately $25,000 to $50,000 depending on geographical location.
Medical tourists traveling to destinations such as Makewell Meditour in India or Laparoscopic Solutions in Coahuila, Mexico, as well as facilities in Thailand and  Turkey may save up to 50-70% on the costs of laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery and hospital stays in the United States. In various locations in Mexico and Costa Rica, international travelers may purchase packages for laparoscopic surgery that average between $4,500 to $6,000, including hospital stay, transportation and lab work.

Laparoscopic surgery is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The technique enables surgeons to view, access and remove sections or entire organs through very small incisions rather than large incisions that cause extensive tissue damage, longer healing processes and greater risk of infection. Today, more facilities and surgeons utilize such techniques to perform a variety of surgeries, from liposuction to heart valve replacement.
Individuals undergoing laparoscopic surgeries have shortened recovery times as well as less postoperative pain. Smaller incisions decrease the chance of complications such as infection and offer decreased mortality rates. The fiber-optic instruments and video cameras attached to the laparoscope enable surgeons to view the surgical area on a monitor while utilizing special instruments that avoid surrounding tissue damage of the surgical area.
Hand access devices in laparoscopic surgery enable surgeons to perform a variety of functions, such as pancreatectomy and liver resection procedures. Advancements in technology are increasing capabilities of single port entry techniques for more complex surgical procedures. Laparoscopic techniques are used in orthopedic, obesity and bariatric surgical procedures, cosmetic surgery fields, cardiac or heart care and chronic disease treatments, among others.
Laparoscopic gallbladder removal, groin hernia repair and laparoscopic inguinal or ventral hernia repair are just a few of the procedures performed through laparoscopic surgical techniques. Facilities such as Laparoscopic Solutions in Coahuila, Mexico or the world-renowned facilities of Jordan Hospital and Medical Center in Amman, Jordan make good use of such procedures to enhance patient care and reduce surgical and post-surgical complications.

The purpose behind most orthopedic surgical procedures is to increase and enhance mobility of a joint as well as to repair damaged bone, muscular, or neural tissues caused by sports injuries, arthritis, fractures, and muscle and bone diseases. Common orthopedic procedures include partial or total hip or placement surgery, as well as hip resurfacing surgery, partial or total knee replacement procedures and those that focus on hands, elbow, or shoulder joints.
Â
Orthopedics treatments and surgeries help to treat chronic diseases such as various forms of arthritis in the hands, knees and back. For example, rheumatoid arthritis severely inhibits mobility in the fingers and hands. Treatments and surgeries designed to relieve pain and increase mobility require a team effort from specialists in orthopedic surgery as well as specialists who focus on the musculature damage such arthritis causes.
Â
Facilities around the globe offer a variety of orthopedic surgeries that provide excellent, experienced, accredited and state-of-the-art technology, treatments and procedures. Some of the best are located in Croatia, such as Terme Selce, and Turkey, at the Acibadem Healthcare Group and at the Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul. The Madras Joint Replacement Center in Chennai, India and the Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan all provide accredited orthopedic surgeons and surgical care for international travelers seeking affordable and effective treatments of bone and joint injuries caused by sports, accidents or disease conditions.
Â
Individuals from abroad seek health and wellness choices that meet their needs with today’s availability and popularity of medical tourism and travel, offering real choices for effective, quality and affordable orthopedic surgical care.
