Our bespoke surgical aftercare programme has been developed and perfected over two decades, with 30,000 patients now being seen each year at our award-winning clinic. Every element of each patient’s surgical procedure is tailored to each and every patient in order to support them to achieve their desired results, with aftercare a key part of this journey.
At the Cadogan Clinic, we are proud to have a permanent team of eight specialist post-operative dressings nurses with decades of experience between them who are here to help you every step of your recovery journey.
We measure the success of our surgery and aftercare with data: our revision rates are industry-leading at <3% (versus an industry standard of 10%+) and our infection rate is just 0.4% (versus an industry standard of 4.7%).
Recovery Focused Surgeries
Your surgeon will first discuss your aftercare and recovery plan with you at your initial consultation, and you will be given clear instructions how best to prepare for your recovery in the run up to your surgery. This may include making sure you have a selection of clothing that is easy to get in and out of, such as tops that button up at the front, and organising any childcare or support around the house you may need.
A straightforward and easy recovery is prioritised during your surgery. All surgeries at Cadogan Clinic are carried out as day case procedures, meaning you will go home the same day, with no overnight stay. This is possible through our use of the anaesthetic, TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia) which involves a very light, controlled sedation that reduces post-operative nausea and sickness and allows for a quick initial recovery. We were one of the first hospitals in the UK to use this technique 20 years ago and it has enabled excellent patient outcomes and recoveries ever since.
Being able to go home the same day as your procedure is key to our recovery and aftercare philosophy. Being able to recover in the comfort of your own home reduces infection risk and patient anxiety levels, making your surgical journey as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Our data-led approach is proven in our numbers: Cadogan Clinic’s infection rate is less than 1% per year, with the national average being 4.7% annually.
