Private ACL MCL Surgery in Canada or the USA

/0 Comments/in /by

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear can be very painful. Both are injuries to the knee and understandably can bring difficulty in walking, standing, or even sleeping. The surgery to fix the tears involves making small incisions to reconstruct the ligaments using an allograft (tissue taken from another person) or autograft (a patient’s own tissue). It is an arthroscopic surgery. It is a day surgery so you would have it in the morning and be discharged in the afternoon to recover at home or hotel.

It is definitely something that most people do not want to wait a long time to have fixed. However, it is still considered an elective surgery, and therefore, Canadians are put on the waitlist. The waitlists vary from province to province.

If you are experiencing delays and the mobility issue is affecting your ability to work and enjoy life, we can connect you to a private facility and make all the logistical arrangements for you. We work with some of the most skilled surgeons here in Canada and in the US. We have been guiding our clients through their medical travel for over 5 years.

So, what is required to get started? We will need your medical records, most notably, the diagnostic tests such as MRI and X-ray of the area. If you have seen any specialists about the issue, their notes are also very helpful. Usually, we can arrange a review of medical records within 3-5 business days. The actual surgery can happen 1-4 weeks after the medical records review and this timing will depend on your surgeon and your availability.

Private MRI in Canada

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Diagnostic test such as an MRI is done to help the doctor see what may be happening in your body. It helps diagnose or investigate conditions that affect soft tissue, such as muscles, ligaments, and others. It can be used to diagnose spinal cord disorders, brain tumors, stroke, muscle or ligament tears, and many other medical conditions.

Even though the suspected reasons for an MRI referral can be many, including some that are scarier than others, the wait times can be long. Canadians can wait months if not years for a non-urgent MRI. Needless to say, it can be unsettling and frustrating to many people who have not even been told when their turn for an MRI is. They are just waiting in hopes that it will be soon.

Luckily, there are a few private facilities in Canada that offer a private MRI. All they need is a referral from your doctor and they will be able to fit you in much sooner than the public system. In some provinces it can happen as early as the next day and in some within a couple of weeks.

How would you go about finding these facilities? We made a comprehensive list right here. The list includes the facility name, location, contact info, cost range, and other details. It can be purchased here for a very low price of $19.99 plus tax. Instead of spending your precious time googling and calling, our file gives you all the important info you will need to call the facility and schedule your private MRI.

Private Myomectomy in Canada or USA

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Myomectomy is a surgery to remove fibroids. Removing fibroids can be beneficial for several different reasons. It helps relieve heavy menstrual bleeding and bleeding between periods, thus minimizing monthly blood loss and possible iron-deficiency anemia and it can relieve pelvic pain and pressure as well.  It is also an alternative to hysterectomy because it leaves the uterus intact so that women can get pregnant if so desired.

There are three types of myomectomies. Which one is right for you will depend on your situation and size and location of the fibroids. Your options can be discussed with an experienced private GYN surgeon. They will answer all the questions you may have regarding the procedure, its risks and benefits.

Hysteroscopic myomectomy is the least invasive of the three. The fibroids are removed through the vagina and cervix with the help of a hysteroscope. Since there are no incisions made the recovery is fast, about 48 hours. Only certain types of fibroids can be removed with hysteroscopic myomectomy.

Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted myomectomy is also a minimally invasive procedure. A tiny camera with light, a laparoscope, or a robotic arm are used to remove the fibroids. The incisions are usually small and the recovery time is two to three weeks.

Open, or abdominal myomectomy is done through an incision in the abdominal wall. It can be recommended if there are a lot of fibroids or very large fibroids. This one carries more risks and oftentimes requires a longer stay at the medical facility or hospital. The recovery is also the longest, about four to six weeks.

There are options for private myomectomies in Canada or the USA. Please contact us by email info@healthvantis.com or by toll-free phone 877 344 3544 to find out more.

Private Fibroid Removal Surgery in Canada or USA

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Many women come to us asking about private uterine fibroid removal. Depending on your circumstances and review of your medical records we can assist in arranging this surgery in a timely manner at a private surgical facility in the USA or Canada. We usually ask our clients to have a recent (within the last 6 months) ultrasound or MRI of the uterus. The diagnostics provide more information on the location and size of the fibroid(s).

Uterine fibroids can be small, less than 1 cm to 5 cm, medium, 5 cm to 10 cm, or large, over 10 cm. They can be on the outside of the uterus, inside the muscles of the uterus or in the uterine cavity. They can cause complications like excessive bleeding and reproductive problems. They are benign, or noncancerous. Depending on the size it is sometimes not possible to remove them laparoscopically.

For smaller fibroids inside the uterine cavity, your surgeon may recommend a hysteroscopic myomectomy. It’s the most minimally invasive procedure to treat fibroids. The fibroids are accessed and removed using instruments inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.

For bigger fibroids inside the muscles or outside the uterus, a laparoscopic myomectomy may be offered. For large fibroids, an open or abdominal myomectomy can be recommended. Both of these are surgeries and are done under general anesthesia.

If you are looking for options in private fibroid removal, please email us info@healthvantis.com or call us at toll-free 877 344 3544 to find out more information.
