MedTour patients recommend clinics in Czech Republic:
Thank you very much Medtour and Forme doctors for this beauty! No one even guessed that I did breasts, because they are as natural as possible. my recovery finished and how happy I am! This is something! If I knew that breasts would give + 100 to self-esteem, comfort, convenience ... I would have done it much earlier!
I flew to Prague for breast lifting. it was one of the best decisions and I regret that didn't do it before the pandemic. that's why I would like to thank the medtour team for relieving me of worry about the flight and accommodation. A very kind coordinator helped me with all organizational issues in the clinic, so I didn't have to think about it.

The main directions for treatment in clinics in the Czech Republic
Plastic surgery, obesity treatment with bariatric surgeries, orthopedic procedures and resection of internal organs – this is not a complete list of areas in which the Czech Republic is a leader.
Bariatric surgery
The essence of bariatric surgery is to reduce the capacity of the stomach. Consequently, a person after such a procedure will feel full, eating less food. According to recent research, this surgery also affects some hormones (incretins) that affect hunger and satiety.
The operation is performed laparoscopically. The surgeon joints the stomach walls with transverse non-absorbable sutures or specially designed staples, thus reducing its volume. Compared to the very similar, so-called sleeve gastrectomy, there is no need to permanently remove most of the completely healthy stomach from the patient’s body. This implies another potential advantage of the operation – its reversibility.
Bariatric surgery is indicated for:
- Patients with BMI over 40;
- Patients with a BMI between 35 and 40 who have other medical conditions (diabetes or high blood pressure);
- Obese patients for whom conservative treatment was ineffective.
But first, the patient must go through the process of adjusting the menu and lifestyle. Most patients lose weight very quickly in the first year after surgery. After surgery (after a few days or a few weeks), they can expect an improvement in diabetes and a gradual reduction in high blood pressure, cholesterol level and sleep disturbances.
Plastic surgery
Specialists of Czech clinics carry out a wide range of operations in the entire field of plastic surgery – from the treatment of congenital malformations, acute injuries to the hands and face, complex microsurgical reconstructions to aesthetic surgery.
A large flow of patients comes to the Czech Republic not only from the CIS countries, but also from the UK and Germany. This is due to the fact that the quality of services is at a high level, and prices are more affordable than in these countries.
For effective operations, Czech clinics use the latest equipment:
- Device for gentle ultrasonic liposuction VAZER Lipo 2.0;
- Body-Jet device for gentle liposuction;
- Machine for gentle laser liposuction Palomar SlimLipo;
- Universal vascular laser Candela Vbeam;
- Device for mechanical lipomassage LPG Cellu M6 ALLIANCE.
Most often, patients seek such services:
- Otoplasty (ear plastic);
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid correction);
- Liposuction of all areas of the face;
- Double chin liposuction;
- Cheekbone implantation;
- Facelift;
- Rhinoplasty;
- Breast lift with augmentation;
- Brazilian butt lift;
- Gluteoplasty (buttock augmentation);
- Vaginoplasty.
Orthopedics and Traumatology
In the field of orthopedics, doctors at the best clinics in the Czech Republic provide care for joint diseases, especially hip and knee replacements, as well as arthroscopic treatment.
The hospitals have excellent technical and material facilities meeting the strictest European standards.
The most popular procedures in clinics specializing in orthopedics are:
- Implantation of artificial knee or hip joints for patients with advanced osteoarthritis and for those, who are suffering from chronic pain with loss of mobility;
- Cement restoration is a joint replacement in which both parts are fixed into the bone with a special cement;
- Non-cemented joint fixation has a longer lifespan and is specifically designed so that it can be implanted into the bone without the use of cement;
- Hybrid replacement, where one component is attached without cement (usually a hole) and the other with cement;
- Knee arthroscopy is a gentle examination and surgical technique with minimal interference to the body, shorter recovery time and therefore the patient returns to normal activities faster.
Robotic surgery
University and private clinics in the Czech Republic have the latest generation of the American Da Vinci Xi robotic system for urological and gynecological surgeries.
Most robotic surgeries are performed by specialists in the urology clinic, who, for example, remove a kidney tumor or operate on a tumor-infected prostate. Robotic radical prostatectomy is the most successful cancer treatment for all prostate cancers and the best way to preserve men’s quality of life.
The importance of laparoscopic surgery is best illustrated by data on prostate tumor removal: while in 2009 only 32 of 140 operations performed were robotic, in 2019 only two of 291 were non-robotic.
The Da Vinci system is also used by doctors in obstetrics and gynecology. These are surgeries aimed primarily at removing the uterus because of a tumor, removing lymph nodes because of a uterine tumor. Thanks to the minimally invasive approach, even elderly patients with hard medical conditions and uterine cancer can be operated on using the robotic system, increasing their chances of long-term survival.
Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
Outpatient rehabilitation and physical therapy are primarily related to the treatment of patients with limited mobility, suffering from an illness, birth defect or injury. Czech hospitals offer comprehensive diagnostics and therapy in the field of rehabilitation and physiotherapy for both children and adults.
The most frequently encountered diagnoses by Czech rehabilitation and physiotherapists are:
- Facial nerve palsy, neuralgia, headaches;
- Diseases and hernias of the spine;
- Arthrosis, sprains, muscle and tendon tears;
- Conditions after total endoprosthetics;
- Nerve and muscle diseases;
- Post-traumatic conditions;
- Rheumatic conditions;
- Heel spurs.
During treatment, the doctor collaborates with a team of rehabilitation therapists who provide physical therapy, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, magnetic therapy, and electrotherapy.
To make an appointment for treatment at one of the Czech clinics, leave an application on the MedTour website. A coordinator doctor will help you choose the best medical center and recommend the most suitable doctors.
