The proceedure was performed to the the highest standards imaginable, with an excelent result
Hospital was very clean and very well organised. Nurse explained and gave you great care with nothing too much trouble!! Mr Patel surgeon showed me great care and knew exactly where my problem was coming from. He explained every detail on what procedure was happening next. I will definitely use again if my body fails me!!
Mr Patel and his colleagues were absolutely delightful. Made to feel very important. So good to have a very approachable Consultant looking after me. An extremely professional experience.
I found Mr Patel a refreshing change to other consultants I have seen in the past. He was very thorough and provided a clear outline of my condition and options available to me. I felt able to converse on questions around treatment options and was not made to feel a nuisance. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
This was my six week follow up from the recent hip procedure. Mr Patel confirmed my so far successful rehab’. Consequently there is no further need to attend consultation unless complications were to arise. Mr Patel’s warm and friendly nature do not compromise his professional demeanour. His approach makes for a relaxed atmosphere and easy conversation. His matter of fact description of my hip procedure using X-ray plates was very helpful. He also advised caution as I continue rehab in using my leg and exercising my hip.
I was very happy with my treatment,Mr Patel was very nice and explained everything.
I can’t recommend Mr Patel highly enough. Indeed I already have a friend booked into see him! He is very professional, charming, and explains all questions clearly. You won’t feel rushed or that you have asked something stupid. I had a left hip replacement and he and his team were wonderful on the day. I came home on the evening of my operation and have continued to go from strength to strength. I can’t thank him enough.
Mr Patel was very pleasant, explaining the surgery options and follow up and held to the schedule.
A great colleague and highly skilled knee surgeon

BMI has a weak correlation to early complications following joint replacement surgery. The operating surgeon seems to have a stronger correlation to early complications as compared with BMI.

A large proportion of patients who undergo total hip replacement (THR) are obese. Aim of the present study is to investigate the influence of Body Mass Index (BMI) on compli-cations following THR in a single surgeon in the short term follow-up. Material and method: This study was based on the retrospective review of charts and BMIs from 171 patients who had undergone THR between April 2005 and March 2006 at our hospital. All operations were per-formed by a single surgeon. All patients were followed up 6 weeks after operation. Results: 27 / 171 patients (15.8%) were found to have com-plications. Systemic minor complications in-cluded arrythmia in 1 case, urinary tract infec-tion in two cases, ileus in two cases, renal in-sufficiency in 3 cases, confusion in 2 cases and anaemia in 14 cases (8.2%) requiring blood tr- ansfusion. There was one case of pulmonary embolism as a major systemic complication. Local minor complications included one single dislocation and 1 superficial wound infection. Body mass index ranged from 20.8 to 46.7 with a mean of 28.6. Hospital length of stay ranged from 10 to 42 days with a mean of 13. The leng- th of operation time between obese and non- obese patients varied significantly in our study. There was no increased risk for complications and length of hospital stay. Discussion: We can conclude that there are no economic or medical reasons for excluding obese patients from THR as there is no increased risk for complications and length of hospital stay.
