Abdul Jaleel’s Hip Replacement Surgery was a walk back to a pain-free life, a
self-described miraculous journey that took him through the halls and rooms of at
Fortis Hospital by Dr. Ashok Rajgopal in Delhi, India as his guide.
Abdul Jaleel from Afghanistan was an active person
in the early sixties; a new pain brought him to a halt. The pain in the hip
seemed like the groin injury and occurred mostly when he was walking and
climbing the stairs. The pain as increased so much that his sleep was
disturbed, few of his friends advised him to an orthopedic surgeon in Afghanistan,
but after an initial consult, he was recommended hip replacement surgery.
X-rays showed that Abdul had severe
osteoarthritis. This condition often requires a joint replacement technique. However,
Abdul feared surgery could put an end to his active life. When the pain was intolerable
to him, he decided to go for the hip replacement. But as the country is not
that medically advanced, so he decided to look for an option outside the
country, but USA and UK surgeons quoted a very high price. He decided to
explore more options after scrolling through the internet; he learned about the
minimally invasive technique for hip replacement in India. While going through the details, he was excited and looking ahead
to having it performed. To boost up the process, he called Tour2india4health Consultant
and inquired about the process. He acquired reviews from at least 3 doctors
from different hospitals through the case supervisor. Later, with assistance
from his case supervisor, he planned to get the surgical treatment performed at
Fortis Hospital by Dr. Ashok Rajgopal Delhi.
Tour2india4health Consultant team made all the
mandatory arrangements and documentation to help him come to India. Soon he
reached India where he was picked up from the airport and taken to the hotel
which was already booked by the company, and the next day his appointment was scheduled with Dr. Ashok Rajgopal at Fortis Hospital Delhi, who is considered as the
best hip replacement surgeon in India. During the consultation, he went through
detailed case history, and he ordered an X-ray, which confirmed he needs to
undergo a hip replacement surgery, and he was an ideal candidate for a minimal
invasive procedure. Soon the surgery date was fixed, before the surgery date he
needs to undergo pre-operative tests and after the reports, he was taken for
the surgery.
Abdul did an extensive amount of pre-habilitation
work prior to his surgeries to prepare for his recovery. His hip replacement
surgery in India took less than 90 minutes, and afterward, he required only two
days in the hospital. During his
hospital stays, Abdul
says he appreciated the care provided by Dr. Ashok Rajgopal and Fortis
Hospital staff. They checked on
him around the clock and made sure he had everything he needed to stay
comfortable. After his time in the hospital, he went straight into a
rehabilitation program.
It didn’t take long for him to return to his
active lifestyle, Soon the patient was able to walk on his own. Before
discharging the patient, the doctor gave traction to his left leg for more
consolidation. Additionally, he was given the post-operative instruction for
higher recovery together with physiotherapy. “The overall experience of hip replacement
surgery in India is better for the patient thanks to a combination of advances
including smaller surgical incisions, refined instrumentation, better
post surgical rehabilitation protocols, and better pain management,
”Said Abdul
Jaleel, He attests that his entire experience at Fortis Hospital made the
post operative pain and challenges of the hip replacement surgery in India worthwhile.
My hip replacements have surely not slowed me at all”.
