Hello everyone, I hope you are well, first of all I apologize for my English. I am planning to travel in January to Vietnam to undergo LON in Tibias. My wife due to work and other obligations cannot stay with me during the almost 3 months that the lengthening will probably last, so my intention is to return to my country to continue with the lengthening process once I get out of the operation, what causes me a little fear is that I will be away from my doctor, so if there is any complication I will be in possible trouble. My wife is a nurse, she could attend me, take care of me, change my gauze, clean my pins and perhaps administer medication if necessary. I don't know if this is recommended, I have seen some patients who have done PRECICE have done it, but I don't know anyone with LON who has done it, suggestions, advice...thanks.

No. You should be near the doctor so adjustments to the frames / lengthening rate can be made as needed.

I thought so, thank you very much.
