Lithuania, a country in Northern Europe, is known to be
2nd in the world for the lowest number of complications after orthopedic
surgeries. It’s Joint Commission International accredited
hospitals experience an increasing number of medical tourists coming
for orthopedic procedures. The destination lures foreigners with affordable
prices and high quality of medical services.
"Recently, we received an
exceptionally high number of inquiries from British patients, contacting us to
help them find the best doctors for their orthopedic surgeries. In Lithuania,
they find private treatment of highest standards, which costs significantly
less compared to what they would get at home," says Reda Ambrozaite,
Communications Manager at Health Tourism Lithuania.
Lipogems, a groundbreaking treatment
that helps regenerate body tissues, is one of the most popular procedures amongst
Brits. It costs around £5,000 in their country, while in Lithuania the price is
€1,800.
The surgical process is comprised of three steps: taking fat cells from the
patient’s body, separating them from infected ones, and injecting the purified
cells into the treated area. The first step, extraction of cells from the
patient’s tissue, eliminates the risk of rejection. LL37 protein cells, a
natural antibiotic, minimizes the risk of the inflammatory response. Lipogems
is used to treat many conditions - from stiffness in a shoulder to joints
affected by osteoarthritis.
Medical tourists from
the UK also come to Lithuania for more complex orthopedic surgeries such as hip
or knee joint replacement, rotator tendon ruptures, meniscus, and ligament
surgeries, to name a few. All of them are performed in local private clinics,
which operate according to the highest standards of Western medical practices.
They offer wards equipped exclusively for orthopedic patients, and use the
latest prosthesis of the world’s well-known manufacturers, such as BIOMET,
ZIMMER, Johnson&Johnson.
Data shows that Lithuania is the fastest growing medical tourism
destination in Northern Europe. It is estimated to have an inflow of about
292,000 medical tourists in 2022, with an annual growth of 15 percent.
