Orthopaedics and spine surgery
Joint pain, the aftermath of an injury or a spinal problem — we match a surgeon, arrange the operation and stay with you through the end of rehabilitation.
About the specialty
A joint worth preserving
In orthopaedics the first question is whether a prosthesis can be avoided. The Swiss surgeons we refer to command both strategies: biological cartilage reconstruction that can postpone joint replacement for years, and tissue-sparing arthroplasty when there is nothing left to save.
Operations are performed through small incisions and arthroscopically: a short hospital stay and a swift recovery. Planning rests on latest-generation MRI and CT and 3D modelling, and implant placement is guided by computer navigation.
Spine surgery sits at the junction of orthopaedics and neurosurgery — from disc herniation and canal stenosis to adult scoliosis and revision procedures. The clinic’s physiotherapists draw up the recovery programme and hand it to you to take home.

Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How much does joint or spine surgery cost?
The cost depends on the type of procedure, the implant and the length of stay. We request an estimate from the clinic and pass it to you before treatment starts — with a clear note of what it includes.
Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your documents and a second opinion from a specialist professor — before the trip is planned.
How long does it take to organise the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days — depending on urgency and whether a visa is needed.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
No. A medical interpreter accompanies you at appointments and stays in touch throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why CorSwiss rather than going to the clinic directly?
We are your independent representative and full-cycle medical concierge. We match the best specialist for your case across Switzerland, not inside one clinic, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent estimate before treatment starts. From there everything is in one pair of hands: a medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation — including for companions, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical question. Your personal medical manager stays with the case from the first enquiry until you return home — and remains in touch afterwards: we follow results remotely and coordinate follow-up.
