Major, medium and minor surgeries
According to the Medical Standard of Surgery, depending on their volume and complexity, surgeries may be minor, medium, major (complex) and most major (very complex). The types of surgeries performed at a medical facility depends on the level of competence of its Surgery Department.
The Surgical Department at Nadezhda Hospital has Second Level of competence, which means that the surgeries performed in the Surgical Department range from minor to most major. When a malignant process is suspected, an express tissue analysis is carried out during surgery (Gefrier) – part of the mass or removed lymph nodes are examined for the presence of any cancer cells. This allows a timely reassessment of the extent of surgical intervention and reduces the likely need for repeated surgical intervention.
Operating theatres
Nadezhda Hospital has four operating theatres with modern equipment, enabling the performance of surgical interventions of various types and scopes of in the field of obstetrics, gynecology, general and abdominal surgery, oncological surgery – conventional and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgical procedures, minor interventions with short or one-day hospital stay (abrasions, punctures, biopsies, procedures controlled via ultrasound or endoscopy). The operating theatres at Nadezhda are furnished with highly specialized medical equipment – diode laser, for performance of minimally invasive surgery with a number of advantages for the patient – less pain, less blood loss, faster recovery, without the risk of complications.
One of the theatres has a video and Internet connection and allows remote training sessions to be performed live.
