When you think of surgery, what’s the first thought that comes into your mind? Sure, long incisions, huge, puckered scars, pain and perhaps a long recuperation until you regain full use of your arms and legs or are able to bend, twist or sit without discomfort.

Today, those thoughts are more than outdated.  Today, non-invasive surgery is preferred, in nearly all surgical fields, including cardiac surgery, general surgery and in bariatric and obesity treatments, just to name a few.

Laparoscopic surgery or endoscopic surgery techniques enable surgeons to operate without huge incisions and tissue damage. Healing processes are faster. This type of surgery reduces pain, and risk of infection and bleeding.

What types of surgery use laparoscopic techniques? Here are just a few: gallbladder surgery, liver surgery, small bowel, or other soft tissue organ surgical procedures. Popular laparoscopic procedures for bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, adjustable band, and duodenal switch surgeries. Laparoscopic surgery reduces complications after weight loss surgery. Laparoscopic procedures for the gallbladder and liver include bile duct exploration, bile duct injury, liver resection, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Find the best of care, expertise and excellence in laparoscopic surgery and specialists in international destinations like Mexico, Jordan, Turkey and Asia, whether you need knee surgery or tumor removal. Also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery (MIS), laparoscopic surgery enables a surgeon to operates on patients by viewing a monitor and manipulating his or her instruments without actually accessing the specific organ or tissue.

Do you want a baby and are having difficulty conceiving? Thinking about fertility treatments? You have plenty of options, and not all of them have to be outrageously expensive, as they are in the U.S. Add to that the problem that many health care insurance companies do not reimburse for fertility treatment expenses, and you may feel as if there’s no hope for your dreams of building a family. Fertility treatment abroad in locations like Thailand, Turkey, India and Mexico is affordable.

However, a number of fertility treatments abroad may provide the answer you’re looking for. Facilities in Argentina offer several  IVF methods and treatments, while several fertility clinics in Turkey specialize in IVF, ICSI, PGD, IVM and Ovarian Cortex Freezing methods. Specialists in laparoscopic surgery for  conditions that might reduce your fertility levels can be found in Jordan.

Get to know your fertility terminology, to help you find the right provider and right treatment for your needs. For example, intrauterine insemination (IUI) is also known as artificial insemination.  This method requires women to take fertility drugs to stimulate multiple egg development.  The insemination part involves the insertion of sperm from the male partner into the uterus.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a technique to assist reproduction. This occurs when a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm are ‘united’ in a laboratory dish. After fertilization, the embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a common fertility treatment for couples dealing with low sperm count or poor sperm quality. Sperm is injected directly into a mature egg.

Know your options. Explore your opportunities.

Looking for a change? Did you know that cosmetic surgery continues to be one of the fastest growing medical procedures performed abroad these days? If you’re tired of what you see when you look in the mirror, perhaps it’s time for a change. After all, more of us are forced to compete with those 20 years younger (or more) for our jobs and livelihoods.

Cosmetic surgical procedures offer those of us approaching ‘young middle age’ (and older) a fighting chance to compete, and win over prospective employers. What is the most common plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure done for women? Check these out:

Breast augmentation or reduction

Facelift

Nose surgery (rhinoplasty)

Liposuction

Tummy tucks

Men are jumping aboard as well. The most common procedures for men include:

Hair transplantation

Eyelid surgical procedures (blepharoplasty)

Otoplasty (ear correction and shaping)

Rhinoplasty

Breast reduction (for treatment of gynecomastia)

Men and women entering their golden years are still at work, but increasing job competition is high around the globe. Increase confidence of others toward your health and “vigor”. Men and women can boost their chances of retaining (or being hired) for that job.

Popular international destinations for cosmetic surgery include Mexico, Panama (and other destinations throughout South America, including Brazil and Argentina), and Turkey.

For more information about cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures for men and women, visit PlacidWay, an international medical tourism portal that offers reliable profiles of cosmetic surgeons abroad, as well as their qualifications, training, and experience.

You may think you are. How about this question… if you decided to venture abroad for a medical treatment or procedure, do you know what to look for? We don’t know why, but many patients are hesitant to ask their doctor, surgeon, or facility for information regarding training and experience.

Why is that? We ask questions of our mechanics when it comes to car repairs, we ask questions about our schoolteachers, and we are certainly not hesitant to question a realtor or agent before buying a house. So why are people so hesitant to ask questions of their doctors?

We encourage everyone to ask questions. Ask questions of your doctor, surgeon or hospital staff regardless of where you’re from, and where you may be headed. Always take the time to find out information about any medical provider – at home or abroad. This is important whether you’re seeking treatment for age spots or you’re considering cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery or a cardiac transplant.

Here’s a list of possible questions to ask regarding healthcare facilities – at home or in Thailand, Croatia, South America or Jordan.

* How does the medical facility or service best meet my needs?

* How will I benefit from a specific service or facility?

* Do staff and/or service provide successful treatment?

* Is the doctor certified? Is the facility accredited by national or international accrediting organizations?

* Is the procedure/doctor/facility affordable?

This is just a starting point. Ask. After all, it’s your body. For informational resources about traveling abroad for medical care, visit PlacidWay.com.

Stem cell research and treatments are still relatively new, but there are facilities around the world that use stem cell treatments, and transplants to help treat degenerative diseases. Diseases that benefit from stem cell treatments include:

• Parkinson’s
• Alzheimer’s
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• Hepatitis

Going abroad for stem cell treatments or transplants has many benefits. It is more cost effective to travel to a destination, such as Greece or China, to receive such treatments rather than undergoing them in the United States. These facilities offer patients top-notch care, and the physicians at the centers have years of experience and research to offer patients, just as they do in the United States. Innovative technology and research is being conducted in the Ukraine. There, stem cells are being used to treat the following conditions:

• Joint diseases
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Craniocerebral traumas
• Rehabilitation after chemotherapy
• Pancreatic diabetes

Stem cells, while beneficial in treating diseases, are also being used in cosmetic procedures, including:

• Cosmetology with placenta extract application
• Anti-aging therapy and rejuvenation of the organism

Whether you want to travel to India, to Mexican stem cell treatement facilities, or China to undergo stem cell procedures, the accommodations are equipped with modern technology and instruments. Facilities also cater to patient’s needs, offer in- or outpatient services, diagnostic examinations, and rehabilitation options. If you are interested in finding out more about possible stem cell treatments or transplants, be sure to visit PlacidWay.com for destination options and accommodations.

Whether you want to turn the clock back ten years or you want to do something to make yourself look and feel better, skin resurfacing and rejuvenation are two procedures offered at a variety of medical tourism destinations around the world. Treat yourself to a fabulous getaway to the place you always wanted to visit, and then come home looking years younger.

Destinations such as Greece, Turkey, and Mexico all offer plenty of treatment options in the beautiful settings and high-quality accommodations. So what can skin rejuvenation do for you? Here are just some of the conditions that resurfacing or rejuvenation reverse:

• Pigmentation– Sun spots, freckles or darkened patches due to excess sun exposure
• Skin tone – As you age, the skin loses elasticity and collagen
• Wrinkles– Static (which never change appearance whether you move your face or not) or dynamic (expression lines that deepen with movements in the face)
• Scars– Resulting from acne or other skin traumas

Types of procedures you will find at such international centers include:

• Fillers, such as Restylene and Surgiderm
• Laser skin resurfacing
• Chemical peel
• Dermabrasion

Since skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments have a huge impact on your appearance, there are a few things you need to keep in mind before you book your trip to enhance the success of the procedure for long-term results:

• Avoid smoking – It increases the rate at which the skin ages and will decrease effects of such treatments
• Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle
• Maintain realistic expectations for the end result to avoid overdoing it

Check out information regarding skin care centers at PlacidWay.com to learn about the various treatment options and destinations.
