The COMEBACK program of the Vienna Private Clinic

The 7 most important points of the comeback program

1st 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.

2nd admission: On the day before the operation, you will come to the Vienna Private Clinic in the morning, preferably together with your companion, for admission, move into your room and be prepared for the operation.

3rd patient seminar: You will also be offered a patient seminar the day before your operation. It helps to actively shape your recovery.

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

5. mobilization: We start mobilization or 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, physiotherapy takes place daily at the hospital – an important part of the COMEBACK program.

6. discharge from the clinic: The fact that your discharge and further treatment have already been planned by rehabilitation specialists before your stay in the clinic 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 the Vienna Private Clinic. It guarantees that the entire course of your treatment is in line with 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.

You will be informed about every step of your treatment. This planning enables you to prepare for your operation and the time afterwards with realistic expectations.
