How many hours is the LL operation?
« on: November 12, 2014, 05:58:44 PM »
This is a simple question, and I researched how many hours I will be under anaesthesia but I can't seem to find any information. Does anyone know? And do internal methods take less time than externals?

My first operation (putting the exfix on my legs) took around 3-4 hours.

Removing it took about 1 hour.

My internal femurs operation (fitbone nail) took about 4 hours - 2 hours for each leg.

In all three the Precice 2 patients we have done recently (the last one today), the theatre time was 2.5 hours.
