Knee and hip joints replacement

Doctors install an endoprosthesis made of metal and plastic. The metal part is hypoallergenic and doesn't cause rejection. The plastic part provides sliding and proper joint functioning.

During the operation, doctors use a computer navigation system. It makes the implanting maximally accurate. A patient with prosthesis doesn't feel any discomfort when moving or walking.

On average, a patient stays 3-4 weeks in the country to have all diagnostic tests, surgery, and rehabilitation.

Gastroenterology

Doctors in the Gastroenterological Department treat patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas.

The clinic applies a modern method of capsular endoscopy. It is a technique of examining the gastrointestinal tract using a small tablet that the patient swallows instead of a standard gastric catheter (a thin tube). This way of procedure performing allows a patient not feeling any discomfort.

Cardiovascular center

The center was opened in 2015. It has a modern operating room and cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Doctors specialize in endovascular interventions — procedures performed with a catheter which is inserted into the artery. The operation does not require incisions and extended hospitalization.

Cardiac specialists carry out the following procedures:

• angioplasty (opening narrowed or blocked blood vessels and stent installing)
• heart valve replacement 
• heart pacemaker surgery.

Accommodation
