About Craniotomy in Thailand

Craniotomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing a section of the skull, or a bone flap, to access the brain. It's primarily used to treat conditions such as brain tumors, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and traumatic brain injuries. Thailand's reputation for craniotomies has grown significantly due to its highly-skilled neurosurgeons, advanced medical technologies, and patient-centered care. Thai hospitals and clinics are equipped with the latest neurosurgical equipment and facilities, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care.

Preparing for Craniotomy in Thailand

Preparation for a craniotomy in Thailand involves a thorough assessment of the patient's overall health and specific neurological condition. This includes a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies such as CT scans or MRIs. Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, may be recommended. When choosing a medical facility or surgeon in Thailand, it is crucial to consider factors like language proficiency, professional credentials, and hospital accreditation.

Procedure Details & Recovery

During a craniotomy, a section of the skull is removed to access the brain. The neurosurgeon then performs the necessary procedure, such as removing a tumor or repairing an aneurysm. Afterward, the bone flap is replaced, and the incision is closed. Recovery from a craniotomy can be an intensive process, and patients often require careful monitoring and physical therapy to regain strength and function. Following surgery, patients typically need to stay in Thailand for several weeks for recovery and follow-up appointments.

Costs of Craniotomy in Thailand

The cost of a craniotomy in Thailand can range from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the specific procedure, surgeon's expertise, and hospital facilities. These costs are significantly lower than those in other countries, making Thailand an attractive option for many international patients. Please note that the quoted price includes any necessary overnight hospital stays but does not cover flights and accommodation.

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.

They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.

Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."

I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.

Cataract surgery & Gastroscopy + Colonoscopy

Konkai is an awesome team that’s 100% determined to helping the patient going an extra mile. This exactly has been my experience.

From the hotel booking to taking appointments with the top level doctors in the hospital that’s most favorable to patient. Which was with me and my wife.

My experience further with Konkai was even to the extent of coordinating financial matters when there was an urgency. My wife and I cannot express with my words enough for the awesome services discharged by Konkai.

Post surgery the follow up and support to patient is amazing beyond explanation. It’s more than 8 weeks after my surgery and their regular touch for feed backs and follow up constantly checking as to how things are going? This is not a normal thing in the medical field. Anyone can blindly trust Konkai and be a member of their family.

Thank you
