Operating rooms use Laminar Flow ventilation and HEPA filters to prevent infections. The surgical block runs 24 hours a day. Backup generators and UPS systems keep power uninterrupted.
Neurosurgery and Brain Care
The Neurosurgery Unit focuses on complex brain tumor removals using microsurgery. Surgeons work with a high-resolution microscope to operate on delicate neural structures. To protect brain function, the team relies on real-time technologies:
- Intraoperative Ultrasound for live imaging during surgery
- Neuronavigation for precise tumor localization
- Neuromonitoring to track nerve signals and prevent damage
Diagnosis and planning use a dedicated suite with 1.5 Tesla MRI, 3D CT, and CT angiography.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The plastic surgery department performs aesthetic and corrective procedures for the face and body. Specialists offer Full Facelifts that address the mid-face, lower face, and neck at once. Method selection depends on skin condition and facial bone structure.
Body contouring options include:
- Rhinoplasty for nasal reshaping
- Breast lift and breast prosthesis placement
- Arm tuck surgery to remove excess tissue
- Microsurgery for nerve and vein repair after injuries
The Microsurgery Clinic also treats congenital conditions and reconstructs body parts affected by accidents.
