I had a two day stay in the Spire Sussex Hospital for the replacement of my right hip joint. The care and attention from all the staff was exceptional, as was the out-patient care.
Having previously had a poor reaction, post-op, to general anaesthetics I elected to have an epidural with sedation. This proved extremely successful - completely sedated & unaware for the operation but regaining consciousness almost instantaneously (fully 'compos mentis') with no after-effects. I would definitely elect to have this form of anaesthesia for any further operation.
