Anaesthetic options
When you’ve had time to settle into your private room, your anaesthetist will administer a general anaesthetic, where you’re completely asleep, or an epidural (spinal anaesthetic) where you’ll be numb from the waist down. If you’re having an epidural, you can also have sedatives to help you relax.
During your operation
Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, your surgeon will make one or more incisions in your hip, remove both the socket and the top of your thigh bone and replace them with a new artificial hip joint. A hip replacement surgery usually takes an hour to an hour and a half.
Your private room
When you come in for your operation, you’ll be with us for two to three days. You’ll stay in one of our 27 private bedrooms, which will include:
Friends or family members can wait in our lounge or restaurant during the operation.
