Angelina Ivanenko was my contact in Bookimed and even she was on vacation for the Christmas holidays she did not put on hold the communication
Very fast reaction from Bookimed in communication. Initial discussion was for an appointment in AKH and subsequently we have been forwarded to the Privatklinik. The Klinik looks very well managed. We still did not proceed with the treatment and I'm not currently able to share opinion about the Clinic itself and the treatment (will come back soon, once have treatment there). I've been in the Wiener Privatklinik for a consultation. I manage to meet the exact doctors/professors for which I was looking for a contact and did a good job. The whole story was organized and managed by Bookimed with care for the patient. Angelina Ivanenko was my contact in Bookimed and even she was on vacation for the Christmas holidays she did not put on hold the communication. For us this was very important that we are not losing time.

The results were very satisfactory
We are happy with the visit, I would like to elaborate on the cost of procedures and treatment for each position, sometimes I need help with parsing the procedure (this is a little inconvenient)

Preparation for surgery, operation itself and post-surgery care were performed with utmost care and professionalism
The medical team was very professional,available at a short notice, explaining the options, and ready to answer any questions. All necessary medical tests have been done quickly. The preparation for surgery, operation itself and post-surgery care were performed with utmost care and professionalism, overall hospital environment was calming, which helped to reduce the stress associated with surgery and diagnosis. It would be good to have an accurate estimate of costs in advance to make an informed decision.
About Bookimed service
So far I am very satisfied with the support from Bookimed: they have contacted upon request within 24 hours, proposed travel assistance, different options of facilities/doctors for diagnosis, guided through the medical assessment process, made schedules of visits/tests/surgery at the shortest possible time, provided translation of medical documentation, have been accompanying to the visits/tests on spot at the clinic and helped with formalities/German language. Additionally, after the actual estimate of surgery costs have been higher compared to initial estimation, Bookimed was looking for ways to find the savings and negotiate the price. It was very helpful to keep in touch with Bookimed staff almost on a daily basis, with two of them: a remote manager and on-site representative, who co-ordinated well with each other. I would have a small suggestion: to provide a little bit more detail on the schedule of tests/hospital admission and needed preparation.

Our Lung cancer surgery Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Lung cancer surgery, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Lobectomy

Lobectomy is a surgical procedure that removes one lobe of the lung to treat lung cancer or other lung diseases.

Pros: Lobectomy is less invasive than pneumonectomy and preserves more lung function. It has a high success rate of around 85% for early-stage lung cancer.
Cons: It may not be suitable for patients with widespread lung damage or tumors in multiple lobes. Recovery can be longer compared to wedge resection.
Effectiveness: 85%
Duration: 2-4 hours
Recovery: 4-6 weeks
Best for: Early-stage lung cancer, localized tumors, and non-small cell lung cancer in patients.

Wedge Resection

A surgical procedure that removes a small, wedge-shaped part of the lung containing a tumor or abnormal tissue.

Pros: Less invasive than lobectomy or pneumonectomy, preserving more lung function. Typically results in a shorter hospital stay, with only 1-3 days required.
Cons: Higher recurrence rates compared to lobectomy, with approximately 10% more cases. Not suitable for larger tumors or those near major blood vessels.
Effectiveness: 95% success rate in removing small, localized tumors.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 1-2 weeks
Best for: Small, early-stage lung tumors, particularly in patients with limited lung function.

Pneumonectomy

Pneumonectomy involves the surgical removal of an entire lung, primarily to treat lung cancer or severe lung disease.

Pros: Offers a complete removal of cancerous tissue, reducing recurrence risk. Effective for large tumors that can't be excised by other methods.
Cons: Higher risk of complications and longer recovery time compared to lobectomy or wedge resection. Decreased lung function post-surgery.
Effectiveness: Success rate is around 70-80% in removing cancerous tissue.
Duration: The procedure takes approximately 4-6 hours.
Recovery: Recovery usually spans 1-2 months.
Best for: Large or centrally located tumors. Suitable for patients with localized lung cancer.

Lung segmentectomy

A pulmonary surgery that involves removing a specific segment of the lung affected by disease, often used to treat localized lung cancer.

Pros: Preserves more lung function compared to lobectomy. Less invasive than pneumonectomy, with fewer complications. Allows for targeted tumor excision, minimizing healthy tissue removal.
Cons: May not be suitable for large or multiple tumors. Slightly higher recurrence risk compared to lobectomy at 10%.
Effectiveness: Success rate is approximately 85-90% for early-stage lung cancer.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Recovery: 2-4 weeks
Best for: Patients with small, localized tumors, especially in early-stage lung cancer.
