Two-sided Implant Removal + Antibiotic Treatment + Total Hip Revision Surgery (SMITH & NEPHEW Prosthesis) | Turan & Turan Clinic, Turkey

Bilateral total revision surgery of the hip joint is a procedure to replace the previously implanted prostheses of both hip joints with new ones. This is often necessary due to complications or failure of the original implants, such as loosening, wear, dislocation, or infection. The operation involves removing old components, restoring bone tissue or its damage, and installing new implants. Revision surgery is more complex than initial hip replacement surgery because it removes existing hardware and addresses any issues with bone loss, tissue damage, or infection that may have occurred since the initial implantation. Bilateral total hip revision usually takes 3 to 4 hours and is performed through a 10-20 cm skin incision on both hips. We use SMITH & NEPHEW prostheses because their materials are certified and recognized worldwide. In addition, these prostheses are durable and have a low risk of rejection. An important aspect is the smoothness of movement and the possibility of postponing joint replacement operations for longer than with conventional prostheses. To preserve the integrity of the nervous system during total hip arthroplasty, neuromonitoring provides the surgeon with information on nerve conduction and significantly contributes to the preservation of nervous tissue. In some cases, patients undergoing hip revision surgery may already have an infection associated with their existing implants. Antibiotic treatment is essential to control and eradicate the infection before the new implant is inserted. Failure to treat existing infections adequately can lead to complications such as implant loosening, bone loss, and systemic bacterial disease. Even if there is no existing infection, antibiotic prophylaxis is often administered before surgery to further reduce the risk of postoperative infection. This is particularly important in procedures involving the insertion of prosthetic implants, where the consequences of infection can be severe. Patients usually start walking with support (a walker or a cane with a bracelet) on the day of surgery or the next day. You can sit, stand, and go up and down stairs with support. Patients who can perform these movements without difficulty and with balance can leave the hospital and go home if their overall health is adequate. Two-sided total hip revision surgery offers comprehensive correction by simultaneously addressing issues in both hips, reducing the need for multiple surgeries and potential complications associated with repeated procedures. It ensures symmetrical hip function, balance, and alignment, promoting more uniform recovery and enhanced overall mobility. Additionally, it may lead to shorter overall recovery times and reduced healthcare costs compared to undergoing separate surgeries for each hip. Our team consists of professionals who work on highly complex cases and are pioneers in robotic surgery in Turkey. Our medical director has over 30 years of experience and has successfully performed more than 3,500 robotic surgical procedures. The hospital has performed more than 5 joint surgeries not previously performed in Turkey, including robotic total knee replacement, robotic total hip replacement, and arthroscopy. Turan Turan is well-known and has no waiting list policy. You can come whenever you want. We only request that you send your representative your passport and flight ticket for all the arrangements one week before your arrival. Turan & Turan Hospital uses the NAVIO Surgical System, a robotic platform that uses non-CT technology to accurately size and position the implant without rods. This approach significantly reduces the risk of complications. The center is 1 of 4 hospitals in Turkey that use the O-arm 2D/3D imaging system during surgery. With constant monitoring and results obtained during the intervention, doctors can consider each patient's complex anatomical features. The patient can immediately receive comprehensive treatment of the entire musculoskeletal system. We treat the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, from strains and sprains to limb-sparing oncology procedures, from carpal tunnel syndrome to comprehensive joint and spine reconstruction.
