"During the period of lengthening (after 3-4 cm) probably you need Achilles tendon lengthening, and you have to stay at the hospital for other 3 days. The cost of the procedure is included in the fee."
"For achilles tendon lengthening 5000 € extra fee"
It doesn't make sense to me. Is it included in the 20k for the surgery or not?
Its something stupid to allow patients to go home during lengthning
The Kaiser: Lengthening should be made by patients at their own homes. Close followup the first days. Staying in hospital when there´s no need only creates complications.

From what we know now, it was suggested by a few posters here that ATL surgery is paid by the Italian public healthcare system. So maybe it costs 5k extra, but you don't pay for it.
I do not know if that is what he meant there.

Italians need not pay for it..may be just hospitalisation perhaps
Hi guys, I have been following this Forum for many months, and I thank everyone because there is so much information and so many diaries here, I am learning several things thanks to this Forum, I also thank some "LL veterans" who have replied to the PMs, and are giving me some valuable advice, however this is my first post, and I wanted to ask:
I have read that in Italy Dr. Catagni performs this operation, I searched the forum but I only found Lumiere's diary, but I couldn't even open the photos / videos he had posted. Do you know if I can find some other diary, maybe even from the old Forum? Have any of you gone / or will you want to go to Dr. Catagni? I wanted to gather more information. Thanks to everyone for your help.
I hope I haven't got the section wrong.
I may go there too in 2 or 3 years, as far as I know there are Catagni diaries in old forum but you would need to search archived internet sites.
