The COMEBACK program of the Wiener Privatklinik

THE MOST IMPORTANT 7 POINTS OF THE COMEBACK PROGRAM

1. Preparatory Visit: Your attending physician has referred you to the Vienna Private Clinic. He or she will determine any preparatory examinations and set the date for the operation together with the clinic.

2. Admission: On the day before the operation, you will be admitted to the Vienna Private Hospital in the morning, preferably together with your companion, where you will move into your room and be prepared for the operation.

3. Patient Seminar: You will also be offered a patient seminar the day before the operation. It helps you to actively participate in your recovery.

4. Operation: Immediately before the operation, you will receive the anaesthetic discussed with the anaesthetist in the operating department. The anesthesia team at Wiener Privatklinik provides round-the-clock care and seamless preoperative management. The procedure itself takes about one hour.

5. Mobilization: We begin mobilization and physiotherapy directly at the patient’s bedside on the day of the operation or the day after at the latest. From the 2nd day onwards, you will attend daily physiotherapy sessions at the clinic – an important part of the COMEBACK program.

6. Discharge from Hospital: The fact that your discharge and further treatment have already been planned by rehabilitation specialists before your hospital stay enables you to prepare your home for your needs during rehabilitation. You will receive valuable tips in advance.

7. Follow-up Treatment: After successfully completing rehabilitation, you will receive further professional support and will be called in for follow-up appointments with your specialist at regular intervals.

THE COMEBACK PROGRAM: HOW IT WORKS

Movement is life – and in your case, healing. The COMEBACK program at Wiener Privatklinik focuses on you, your health and your well-being and makes you an active partner in the treatment process.

COMEBACK is a quality program of Wiener Privatklinik. It guarantees that the entire course of your treatment corresponds to the latest medical standards. A team of specialists, therapists and nursing staff work closely together to help you regain your full mobility as quickly as possible.

COMEBACK starts in the run-up to the procedure and provides you with important information and tips on how you can support and accelerate your recovery through active participation. You will be informed about every step of the treatment. This planning enables you to prepare for your operation and the time afterwards with realistic expectations.
