Can family members stay with the patient during treatment?

Yes, most hospitals in India are well-prepared to support international patients and their families. Family members are usually allowed to stay nearby or assist during recovery. Hospitals also help guide accommodation and basic support needs during the treatment period.

Is minimally invasive surgery in India affordable compared to other countries?

Yes, treatment costs in India are significantly lower than in countries like the US, UK or Europe. The lower cost is due to reduced operational expenses, not lower quality of care. Even after adding travel and stay expenses, India often remains a cost-effective option.

Will there be follow-up care after returning home?

Yes, doctors usually provide clear discharge instructions and recovery guidelines before patients return home. Many hospitals offer online consultations or follow-up communication to monitor progress and address concerns after surgery.

Is minimally invasive surgery safe for international patients in India?

Yes, minimally invasive surgery in India is considered safe when performed at reputed hospitals by experienced surgeons. Indian hospitals follow strict safety protocols, modern sterilization standards and continuous patient monitoring. Many surgeons also have international training, which adds an extra layer of confidence for foreign patients.

How long does recovery take after minimally invasive surgery?

Recovery time depends on the type of procedure, but it is usually much faster than traditional open surgery. Most patients are able to walk within a day or two and return to light activities quickly. This shorter recovery period helps international patients plan their return travel more comfortably.

How long do foreign patients need to stay in India after surgery?

In most cases, international patients stay in India for one to two weeks after minimally invasive surgery. This includes hospital recovery and a short observation period. Doctors usually allow travel once healing is stable and there are no early complications.
