[WARNING] Stay away from India and Turkey for LL surgery

Edit Post

Dear all,

i've found a guy on youtube who decided to do a maxillary advancement in India. The surgery failed and he reported it as a massive scam:

Then he moved on and did a LON tibia lenghtening in Turkey resulting in a pin infection and a secondary tibia break due to the bottom screw of the fixator. Now he is in serious pain and regrets tibia lenghtening:

Be very careful by choosing the right doctor!!!

there are good and bad docs in all countries

no need to rule out entire country bcoz of such cases. But ya you should avoid "marketing clinics" for any surgery

BUT

in developing countries we should also aware ourselves about all kind of extra stuffs like Blood transfusion risks (do self blood donation bcoz the dr will not automatically do this for you or get blood from NAT blood banks only or keep some healthy friends near by to donate blood during emergency) , stay close to hospital for emergency (bcoz traffic can get very bad and if i u need ambulance it can takes a lot of time some times).

So in developed country = more things are "automatically" safe, but in developing country you should do more preparation even after choosing good doc.

It looks like Dr Yuksel Yurttas did his surgery.

In developped countries if things go wrong you can sue the doctor and get a lot of money if it is his false. But in third world countries you can sue the doctor and loss your money and get threatened, that's why doctor in developped countries are so expensive.

Pin infection is very common with ex fix. Has nothing to do with the surgeon. I am not defending the turkish doc but when it comes to pinsite infection, it happens with any doc

I strongly disagree! The risk of pinsite infection is much lower when the hospital has high hygiene standards and when the doctors/nurses take care of the patients.

Yeah external’s isn’t even considered ‘cosmetic’ due to the nature of the fixators and scarring etc definitely go for internals if you can and maybe only fixators on Tibia.

Also I agree not everyone is bad I mean in Turkey only go with the best like Dr Metin Kucukkaya who was endorsed by Dr Donghoon Lee

All countries have good and inexperienced Drs like Payley said for mercenary reasons so just make sure you do your own research before going through

People brush off that they are getting surgery in a 3rd world country until reality strikes and something goes wrong.  I would NEVER have this operation in either of these countries.
