OPERATING THEATRES

At the Saint Marina Hospital the whole range of abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopic (bloodless) genital operations are performed. Operating rooms are equipped with the most modern appliances – laparoscopic set by Karl Storz, Germany; computer record-keeping system; electrosurgery equipment system – Liga Sure, high-frequency radioknife Ellman, electroknife Erbe; remote controlled operating table; illuminating system Berthold with remote controlled focusing and built-in camera; vacuum – aspiration system.

The laparoscopic set is equipped with a full range of instruments, allowing the performance of all types of laparoscopic gynecological interventions:

• Laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy of uterine carcinoma in IB1 FIGO stage;

• Laparoscopically assisted radical trachelectomy of young nulliparas with uterine carcinoma in IB1 FIGO stage, < 2 cm;

• Laparoscopic pelvic lymph dissection – selective, total, sentinel biopsy; (video)

• Laparoscopic transposition of ovaries;

• Laparoscopic total hysterectomy with removal of the uterus through the vagina with or without the adnexa;(video)

• Laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy with or without the adnexa;

• Laparoscopic cystectomy ; cystovariectomy and cystadnexectomy

• Laparoscopic myomectomy;

• Laparoscopic electrophenestration of the ovaries;

• Laparoscopic therapeutic interventions in endometriosis;

• Diagnostic laparoscopy

The advantages of laparoscopy are connected with less intraoperative blood loss and faster and less painful recovery of patients during the post-operative period. The record-keeping system gives the opportunity of registering the course of every surgery and with the patient being given an electronic copy afterwards.

The Liga Sure system is one of the most revolutionary achievements in the contemporary electrosurgery. It allows safe coagulation of both smaller and bigger blood vessels, which significantly shortens the duration of the surgery and eliminates the need of ligation placement with threads and clasps. The apparatus Liga Sure in our clinic can be used in laparoscopic surgeries as well as in open abdominal surgery.

CRITICAL CARE

Every resuscitation bed is delivered on a special order by Invocare company.
