Procedures Offered
Oncology (6)
Systemic Chemotherapy Cycles
Cyclic cytotoxic chemotherapy using cell-killing drugs to destroy rapidly dividing cancer cells throughout the body. Treatment given in 21-28 day cycles allows recovery between sessions, with 4-8 cycles over 3-6 months depending on cancer type and response. Thailand offers 50-70% cost savings with JCI-accredited facilities using identical NCCN-guideline protocols.
Immunotherapy (Checkpoint Inhibitors)
Revolutionary cancer treatment using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that harness the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells by blocking proteins like PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4.
Lumpectomy with Oncoplastic Surgery
Breast-conserving surgery removing tumor while preserving breast shape through combined oncologic and plastic surgery techniques. Thailand offers 50-70% cost savings with advanced oncoplastic approaches, dual-trained surgeons, and JCI-accredited facilities achieving equivalent survival to mastectomy for early-stage breast cancer.
Mastectomy
Surgical removal of breast tissue for breast cancer treatment or prevention. Thailand offers 60-80% cost savings with oncoplastic surgery combining removal with cosmetic reconstruction, BRCA genetic testing, and JCI-accredited facilities with experienced breast surgeons.
Nephrectomy (Kidney Cancer Surgery)
Surgical removal of kidney (radical) or kidney tumor (partial/nephron-sparing) for renal cell carcinoma and other kidney cancers, with laparoscopic and robotic options available at Thailand's JCI-accredited hospitals.
Targeted Therapy
Precision cancer treatment using drugs that target specific molecular alterations in cancer cells, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), monoclonal antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates for patients with actionable biomarkers.
Cardiac (7)
Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Surgical repair of a weakened, bulging section of the aorta through open surgery (synthetic graft replacement) or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR/TEVAR), where a stent-graft reinforces the weakened wall from inside, preventing life-threatening rupture.
Coronary Angiography
Diagnostic imaging procedure using contrast dye and X-ray fluoroscopy to visualize coronary arteries and identify blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities through minimally invasive catheterization.
Coronary Angioplasty with Stent
Minimally invasive catheter-based procedure to restore blood flow through blocked coronary arteries using balloon dilation and drug-eluting stent placement.
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
Heart bypass surgery that creates new pathways for blood to flow around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, restoring proper blood flow to the heart muscle using grafted vessels from the chest, leg, or arm.
Heart Valve Replacement (Aortic/Mitral)
Surgical replacement of a damaged or diseased heart valve with a prosthetic valve — either mechanical (lifelong durability) or bioprosthetic (tissue-based) — indicated when the native valve is too severely damaged for repair due to calcific stenosis, rheumatic disease, endocarditis, or prosthetic valve failure.
Open Heart Surgery
Cardiac surgery requiring median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass to operate directly on heart structures, including valve repair or replacement, septal defect repair, aortic surgery, myectomy, and tumor resection when catheter-based approaches are insufficient.
Pacemaker Implantation
Placement of a small electronic device under the skin that uses electrical impulses to regulate slow or irregular heart rhythms, with options ranging from traditional transvenous to modern leadless pacemakers.
Orthopedic (5)
ACL Reconstruction
Arthroscopic surgical procedure replacing the torn anterior cruciate ligament with a graft to restore knee stability, performed using minimally invasive techniques with same-day discharge.
Knee Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive knee surgery using a small camera to diagnose and treat meniscal tears, loose bodies, and cartilage damage with rapid recovery.
Laminectomy (Spinal Decompression)
Spinal decompression surgery removing the lamina to relieve pressure on spinal cord or nerve roots, treating spinal stenosis symptoms including leg pain, numbness, and weakness.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Advanced spinal procedures performed through small incisions using tubular retractors, endoscopes, and real-time imaging guidance for faster recovery and less pain than traditional open surgery.
Scoliosis Surgery (Spinal Deformity Correction)
Surgical correction of abnormal lateral spinal curvature through instrumentation and fusion, using pedicle screw fixation and contouring rods to straighten and stabilize the spine while promoting vertebral fusion in the corrected position.
