Treatments & Prices

Orthopaedic Department
The Orthopaedic Department has its own hospital ward with four beds as well as an extensive outpatient surgery practice. The patients admitted to the ward, have mostly had operations for implanting prosthetic joints in their hips or knees.

The ward only accommodates 4 inpatients at a time, so you will have full attention and care from the nurses and staff during your stay. The food, four meals a day, is delivered from the best gourmet restaurant in town. During your stay you will receive extensive rehabilitation with the hospitals physical therapist.

We have top-quality operating and recovery rooms and offer a wide range of operative procedures. The orthopaedic department has performed more than 1500 surgical procedures per year.

Our orthopaedic surgeons have extensive experience in surgical procedures using endoscopes ("keyhole surgery") and advanced prosthesis surgery involving total prosthetics for hips and knees as well as uni knee prosthetics. We have a new operating ward with advanced equipment for this purpose, and work in conjunction with our own anesthesiologists.

We possess the most advanced laser on the market for operating on near-sightedness and long-sightedness.

We can also perform operations for treating severe vision impairment using a technique known as ICL implantation. ReStor® is a new revolutionary way to treat presbyopi. The Restor® intraocular lens (IOL) is designed to improve vision at all distances.

Testimonials

Daryl Carr, Norfolk, England
I would like to take this opportunity to give sincere thanks and gratitude to all of the staff at Scanhealth who I found exceptional. From the minute I decided to proceed with an MRI scan and subsequent ACL reconstruction, everything was so professional and so simple. The flight was short, transfer to the hotel was quick and easy, and the hospital itself even closer.

The whole experience completely exceeded my expectations. I found the surgeon, his staff and all of the people that helped me along the way to be in a totally different league. This is definitely the best decision I've ever made and I would encourage anybody considering Scanhealth to look no further and put an end to your injury and NHS nightmare. I would be more than happy to speak to anybody who is considering treatment and answer any questions or concerns.

Bodil Tretterud, Skjold
I don’t need eye glasses or contact lenses after the eye surgery at Scanhealth Scandinavia. I am very confident. The surgery lasted only few minutes, without pain and discomfort.

Karl Ludvig Kristoffersen, Krehamn
I was100% depended on eye glasses and contact lenses and was total helpless without them. My life has changed after having surgery at Scanhealth Scandinavia. My vision is a lot better, clearer and I don’t need glasses anymore.

Fertility Treatment
My husband and I contacted Scanhealth Scandinavia in December 2006 after seeing their site on the internet. We had been trying to conceive for over 3 years and had been told that the waiting list for private treatment within the UK was 2 years minimum. We emailed the clinic our details and received a phone call the following day and spoke to Jon. We were given all the information we needed and booked an appointment for later that month and flew out to Norway. We were overwhelmed by the sensitivity and support we received in our first appointment. I am now 4 months pregnant with twins and cannot thank the IVF & Fertility Center at Scanhealth and its staff enough for their help and support and professionalism in making our dream come true. I would wholeheartedly recommend the clinic to anyone considering IVF treatment.

Fiona Dods – Total Knee Replacement Surgery
… From the moment I walked into the hospital with its shining wooden floors and welcoming reception area, and met with Mr Rossebo, I knew that I was in good hands. The surgery itself was painless. I had been very nervous at the prospect of spinal anesthesia but the sedation made me very sleepy and I was largely unaware of what was going on. Everyone seemed so professional and the place was so spotless that it was a relief to have no worries regarding possible infection.

Following my operation, I cannot speak highly enough of the care I received from the nursing staff. They were so kind and cheerful and went out of their way to see that I was as comfortable as possible and wanted for nothing. Nigel and I returned home impressed by how friendly and hospitable the Norwegian people are. The whole experience was great, and although it is a longish road to full recovery, I am now free of the agonising pain which was keeping me awake most nights before my knee surgery.

T.M. Birch, N. Wales U.K.
I first became aware of the existence of Scanhealth when searching the Internet for the possibility of having private surgery outside the UK. All the medical tests and treatment were carried out promptly and efficiently in modern, well equipped conditions, and the nursing staff were extremely kind and considerate. I could not have asked for better treatment and felt confident that I was in good hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Scanhealth to anyone considering having private surgery abroad.

Tony Legge, Company MD – MRI
I called Scanhealth on Thursday, flew to Haugesund on Sunday, had my MRI and X-ray on the Monday. I also had a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon on the Monday and could have had an operation the same day, but luckily for me I didn’t need one. There were no problems with the language, or indeed any other problems I highly recommend Scanhealth!
