Die Operation Wertheim-Meigs in Maria Cecilia Hospital

Maria Cecilia Hospital: Medical Excellence and Key Features

• Arrhythmology Department: A world leader in treating atrial fibrillation, utilizing cutting-edge non-fluoroscopic electroanatomic mapping systems. It is also a reference center for cryo-balloon technology and pacemaker implants to prevent sudden death.
• Innovative Cardiac Treatments: One of the first centers in Europe to offer electroporation (Pulse Field Ablation - PFA), a groundbreaking ablation technique for atrial fibrillation treatment.
• Advanced Neurosurgery: One of the few European centers performing Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR), enabling patients to control bionic limbs. This complex neurosurgical technique restores control of artificial limbs.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: The hospital offers advanced robot-assisted, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgeries in general surgery, urology, and gynecology, prioritizing less invasive approaches.
• Gamma Knife Technology: Used for treating brain lesions smaller than 3 cm, this method eliminates the need for a scalpel by precisely delivering Gamma rays.
• ORBEYE TM Microsurgery: For larger brain tumors, surgeons use an advanced 4K 3D digital microscope with endoscopic access, enhancing precision and visualization.
• Diabetic Foot Treatment: Directed by Prof. Dalla Paola, the hospital’s center has a 95% success rate in preventing amputations.
• State-of-the-Art Radiation Therapy: Equipped with advanced linear accelerators for precise and effective cancer treatment.
