In Taichung, Taiwan, several hospitals are known for their orthopedic services, and while I cannot provide specific recommendations for calf muscle surgery, I can suggest some well-regarded institutions where you can inquire about this procedure.

Before proceeding with any surgery, it is essential to consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon who can evaluate your specific condition and recommend the best course of action. They will discuss the potential risks and benefits of the surgery, as well as the expected recovery process.
In addition to selecting the right hospital, consider the following factors when preparing for calf muscle surgery:
- Preoperative Assessment: A thorough evaluation by the surgeon will help determine the necessity of the surgery. This may include imaging studies like MRI or ultrasound to assess the condition of the muscle and surrounding tissues.
- Rehabilitation: Post-surgery rehabilitation is crucial for recovery. Ensure that the hospital has a good physical therapy program to help you regain strength and mobility in your calf muscle.
- Surgeon's Experience: Inquire about the surgeon's experience with calf muscle surgeries. A surgeon with a proven track record in this specific procedure can significantly impact your outcomes.
- Patient Reviews: Look for patient testimonials or reviews about the hospitals and surgeons you are considering. This can provide insight into the quality of care and patient satisfaction.
In conclusion, while I cannot pinpoint specific hospitals that specialize exclusively in calf muscle resection in Taichung, the institutions mentioned above are reputable and have the necessary expertise in orthopedic surgery. It is advisable to consult with multiple surgeons to get a comprehensive understanding of your options and to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
